I say let`s stop wasting time taking votes on coded changes when some of the original code is missing to begin with. Plus their is a chance for serious problems that will also need attention.
The game is what it is, admins have enough ability and tools to make this game interesting and fun. We`ve been playing this thing for years and some cool stuff has been added but let`s face facts if we didn`t like this game we would play something else instead.
I propose a change for the staff for more organized and timely results, half the staff should be devoted to rule inforcement and should start cracking down. This half of the staff should be made up of a mixed non biased team including opposing members from different feds to balance and more effectively govern in game rules.
The other half should be specifically devoted to in game events, rewards, player co op ideas and so forth. Both parties in their spare time should take the time to help new players and answer questions. |

99+ day(s) ago | After so many years on and off we get tired of the same ol crabp day in and day out. Sometimes we do quit, last time I did was in 07 and just now came back less than a year ago. Im about ready to retire again I have one last thing to do first. |

99+ day(s) ago | The food is illustrative of what this game serves, in effect if the customers were unhappy I would inspect what we serve to make sure it tastes good, made right, and is enjoyable to eat.
The in game fighting mechanics and ship list serve in the same manor. Many things have been changed over the years in this area so I would now move on down the list and look at my employees and if changes their don`t fix the problem I would move on to management and make the changes needed their.
Each step serves a purpose in finding out what will make people really happy here. As I see it the two main proplems are
#1 rule breakers
#2 lack of player support on a consistant basis.
Im not saying I can do better and im greatfull for all the staffs hard work but no coded update will fix anything untill a better foundation is made to support it. |

99+ day(s) ago | Quoting for maybe an extra further detailed explanation. Thanks Drk
The reason why im pushing this issue is this.....
Make all the updates and coded changes you want to this game, without order you will have complaining about all the illegal things taking place and in turn ungreatfulness from the players for all the staffs hard work.
Heres an illustration from a company owners perspective, if a restaurant is failing here are the steps to look at first.
#1 advertisement - online site advertising? - Stephen does that or can be done by players. We have tried recruiting in the past with rewards and that didn`t do much. Was a good experiment led by Maraudian, but failed to any true fruitation. More than willing to try again and I have seen it advertised on facebook every now and then.
#2 the food - food market? - referring to bug error I can understand, lesson learned.
#3 the employees - paid staff - joined that into management, but most case they deal with UC, the only paid staff that handles GC would be maybe Stephen on a blue moon
#4 the management - Creator/Paid staff in Malay - unpaid staff/admins across the world to handle things during all the different time zones. Staff tiered system already in place, so I`m going to assume in them having different responsibilties, which they do, but I am assuming more towards some doing marketing, some doing race/ship fixes, some handling npc accounts, and some handling the more admin stuff. Issues there is the trust and the people complaining about alot what staff do.
#5 the location - if you mean the server, its moved around in Malaysia, normally it is in their capital there since that is where Stephen is based etc and hosting both UC/GC/AD3700/and other things that i wont mention here.
Just to maybe expand, most cases a company has the ability to change most of these things more better than this game`s limitations because of how stephen acts. Just saying some things can`t be done easily or at all |

Just my thoughts. I really think this would help gc out having a more formalised structure for staff and how we handle things for rules and events. |

99+ day(s) ago | Any individual incidents I will adress in private but I firmly believe in what I posted. As an idea I would like to see two full time head admins, one is incharge of staff that handles in game rule enforcement and the other in charge of staff who handles player events and promotions. |

99+ day(s) ago | @ Veh/Darkst most staff is never in the same 1 or 2 feds, if I had a history list of all the come and go guides/admins you would see over time one way or another it is balanced. It is just currently more one sided. This game really doesn`t have an issue of neutrality as I woudl like some examples. Plus, back a year or so ago, it was more TB guides than RT, just an fyi
I can see maybe a new blood of neutral guides, but mods and admins that is an issue I will say no to for obvious reasons.
But I would like some examples as to what "things" you are referring to game rules and game events. I am going to assume the reason partially is because of the lack of events on RT and the unfair play of the two NPC accounts for events/rewards? |

99+ day(s) ago | mm looks like you`re refering to the food market ? i guess... |

99+ day(s) ago | I also support a more diverse staff team, it seems all staff is now allied on the battlefield and grouped in 1 or 2 feds. Some staff from the opposition would be nice to provide a more neutral point of view (or make it appear more neutral to outsiders, I`m not contesting it`s neutrality as is, it`s just that in the current situation there`s lots of gossipping etc which may be solved by having staff members representing other major groups in game) |

99+ day(s) ago | i`m a very reasonbable person... i`m not prejudice and clouded my judgment with other issue that`s in hand when something is looking in positive perspective...
rather you`re condemning others` views directly (especially mine), at least you`re suggesting something constructive... regardless what do you think of me (and i don`t give a dang about it), i`m supporting this for the betterment of SFGC... |
