TOPIC: Regarding the new owners

Alright boys, you heard what they said, we've never seen them work as owners so we should give em a chance.

Btw, my mom would like to apply for Community Manager, she doesn't know how to turn on the PC but I do that for her, I hope she gets accepted since you guys never saw her work as a Community Manager, because on ZARP, everyone deserves a chance right?

There were better options, there were far better options, but it's not about good options anymore. It's not about whats best for a server apparently.

You're right, I don't give a fuck about deathrun, but for 4 years, I always came to this forum, and I still care.

Let's take a trip down memory lane and see what happens the last time, someone got an incredibly high rank really quick, that certain person was a staff member on ONE server and was chosen to be a Community Manager, against all odds, somehow (Don't think it was a 100% real vote but whatever) he became Community Manager (wasn't really qualified but the people for that particular gamemode thought otherwise), and had to adapt and play on every server. What happened then?

I'm still lost why people are complaining about this promotion. When Max and myself got TTT owner I was only mod for 1 week and had no developmental experience. Max could develop but not very well compared to now. A lack of development experience or a premature promotion is not always a bad thing, look at me and Max with TTT, went from being the lowest rank server to second most popular.

All I ask is that you give them time to prove their worth to the community.

Smo, there's a thing called coders within the community for a reason to help out. I think you have something against Woman.

TTT was fucked, Cap + Max took the server, and sorted that fucker out, now is the second highest ranked server in this community. Cap clearly stated where they started and experience, and now look at them both and TTT.

You telling me there were better choises?
If you were so good at picking owners, your community that you tried to start would probably be running damn well by now if you did...

I just wanted to get something off my chest becuase this has been bugging me for awhile. I've already spoke to some people about my opinions on the whole situation, however I wanted to express it here as well. To be clear, this is just my personal opinions, so some people might disagree with me and that's totally fine.

Annie and Sarah, a very interesting choice... I have nothing against them, I just don't think that they deserve being owners. Don't get me wrong, they're both great staff members but they don't have any experience with servers (At least to my knowledge). I just find it weird to choose someone who doesn't know how to manage a server. They're both great at managing the staff team but that's basically it. The idea of a owner is someone who manages the server, adds new content and keeping the server in a "healthy" state. I don't think they're capable of that. I could be wrong here, they might surprise us in the future. Again.. No hard feelings but I just don't get it how Sarah was the best candidate for this position. She haven't been active for a while and I don't recall she have done anything for the server. This applies to Annie as well although she hosts the meetings and that's what she does.

JJ and I had planned an update for the server which I was going to implement on the server because most of the staff team was expecting me to get owner. I have a lot of experience with game servers and I have some basic C# knowlegde but I can't really make a script from scratch. Well at least not something useful for the server. I made a lot of changes to the new deathrun gamemode and fixed some issues as well. So I know how to change some coding and that basically it but that's better than not knowing anything at all. I'm aware that we have developers, so it's not necessary to know any coding language. I've also been fixing maps for the server for quite some time now, so I've at least tried to improve the gameplay on the server.

I feel like this should've been done in a different way. It could've been done similar to how they pick the community manager. Make a list of the suitable candidates and ask them if they would like to become the next owner. Then hold an interview for each of the candidates, ask them what they're capable of and then proceed from there. That would've been much better and would've been better for the server.

In conclusion they're probably gonna do an excellent job and I could be completely wrong but I don't think they deserved it compared to other candidates.
