Issue is, they might do some dev work, but dev work isnt going to bring players back when clearly this is just proof that you guys dont care what the community want. Dont get me wrong, im sure they will do some good work and imrpove the gameplay on the server. But its all pointless when u have 5 players and there all afk. You dont need to add more and more obsolete content.
Also what was the point of applications when it was clear who the winners were from the second the cm position was advertised as open?
Neither candidate has been accepted to do development work on SSRP, that is the role of Community Owners.
Mix3rz has been selected for "active outreach" which includes community interaction and content such as streams and YouTube videos, whilst Joshua has been selected for "development" which primarily focuses on the Pointshop servers.
We also don't have 5 AFK players, if you check the facts you'll notice that the SSRP server has been consistently rising up in the rankings since the Valentines Update and has now been hitting 30+ players every day for the majority of the month.
And to reiterate something I said on Discord:
If we had decided beforehand who was getting it, the entire process would be a waste of the many hours we put into running it and the time we spend voting. Personally I changed my mind on who I was planning to vote for several times throughout the week, and whilst I have no doubt Mix3rz and Joshua are the best candidates for the role, it was still not an easy decision given other very strong candidates also applying.
