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.
I've also explained that your continuous inactivity on Teamspeak is the primary factor for you not getting this promotion yourself. Only for these past few weeks have you only been showing up, which is great and all, but Annie as well as Sarah have continuously spent their time on the Teamspeak as well as on the server helping around and improving the relationships between all the staff members.
Activity on teamspeak is more important that activity on the server itself?

Sarah has barely even played on the server the past month. The only thing i would bring her up for is a demotion. I dont know how the deathrun deals with things but there must be an explanation for this horrible activity.
I wont talk about annie due to the fact that he is really sensitive.
Again as i don't play deathrun at all i got no idea of how things work there or what these individuals do so i cant really argue much about it.
I don't directly play on the live surf server, however i still spend a lot of my time on TS talking with onion, or even on steam involving updates and plans, then i spend time on a test server making stuff, such as the up coming Christmas update.
Havent read the whole thing.
You are already an owner. Sarah was a super admin with almost no activity on the server. As a super admin she doesnt plan any updates or spend time on test servers so that argument is invalid in this situation.
And you're already wrong involving an update, seeing as i've already stated on the forums, that Sarah before she got owner, had came to me, with plans for deathrun that would need changing/developing, as an UPDATE.
Annie has tried/attempted to understand server end stuff, and has shown that, which is MORE than others. Sarah has also come up with ideas, communicated with people for them plans, and has SHOWN the attempt to improve the server.
As of the comment of me being already owner, I got promoted to owner on surf, and at the time, i didn't do anything with GLua for a rather long time and even then was only little shit when i did.
From what these comments show, only few actually understand the process of when new server owners are picked, AND WHAT we look for.
Like for fuck sake, I voted for onion to co-own Surf, because he showed dedication, he had a few inputs to a few of the updates for server, and hosted the meetings. He wasn't promoted due to him being able to MANAGE the server it's self or Code, because fuck he can't wrap his head around it, SOOOOO, he does meetings,forums, and puts input/ideas in to updates.
SO before you guys go commenting, this that and the other, thinking you understand the owner rank, and the requirements, go out and gets some facts before you do, at the moment, you just look like naive people, not understanding, or taking in others words of what they know for a fact.
