TW Staff really aren't that bad

[Slicer666]

Other zones, the staff is so corrupt like in (SSCI Gundam Wing? think thats the rightserver initials...) and SSZ Mythic Kingdom, the mods are really corrupt, play favorites, dont enforce rules, etc. Staff in TW are definetly best in all of ss...but still could use some improvements, just nto nearly on the scale of other zones

pfft Gem
uuuuh the staff in SSZ Mystic kingdom shouldn't be corrupt, do you know how long I spend checking the logs when I come on? alot of time, The bots also give me an idea of whats been happen. Gem if you see any of our staff messing around abusing powers and such please email me at Slicer666@msn.com or contact me on SS.

Getting back to the subject, each new batch of TW is different, there is a few problems with TW staff but not much from what I have seen. The only problems I've had is with help calls being ignored and sometimes one idiot is hired and randomly bans a squaddie or friend of mine for stupid things.(in past squads.)

We do have a professional and hardworking staff, but staff was better in the past.

i'm fairly sure that he would have prefered that the <ZH> in question did not take the help call unless he knew the answer or said he'd try to find out for him. If you take the help call and then say "umm... i dunno" then it's pretty much the same as not taking the help call.

ERmmm actually I have rather someone telling that there isn't anyone online at the moment to answer the question.. (or that noone knows the answer) then just wait in doubt if anyone is out there at all..

btw: there is always room for improvement.. doh

For the past 3 days I've been on a "forced break" from TW. I spent a lot of time in zones like Death Star Battle, Chaos SVS, Extreme Games, etc.

A lot of people complain about how the TW staff sucks, but after witnessing the staff of the other SSC zones, I think we should all be thankful that the staff system of TW is the way it is.

In zones like EG, the mods often spam their ads like 3-4 times in a row. Then in the hosted game arena, they will do *arena messages like 5-6 times in a row. Not a big deal but it is very annoying and a lot less "professional" than the TW staff. Also, many other zones are a lot more lax when it comes to spamming/racism/being a dick. I even witnessed a staff member of Chaos SVS use the "N" word. Not setting a very good example...

Anyway, I definately was not impressed by the staff of the other zones. I think that everyone should check out the other zones sometime and see how less organized and professional the staff are in zones other than TW.

No, don't give me any bullshit about sucking up or anything like that. I just think you should cut TW some slack, because although there are a few problems, we definately have some of the best staff out of all the SSC zones.

I agree with that, but my question will be;
Why most of the staff are basers? I mean like can't a WB/Jav be staff or something, most of them are in Base squads.
Ive been around for a good 6+ years, I know how things work, saw many changes on TW Staff.
Really, its not wrong to recruit WB's or Javs.

Paladen is a basing squad?

Staff actually has been doing allot better lately. I thought the zhs they promoted would be a complete mistake.. But it seems they are doing great. At last The Pusher and Pure Luck are enforcing stronger rules.. Or actually take action when someone goofs off. When i was staff it was kinda a joke.. Usually there were like 5 other zhs on and i was the only one answering help calls.. Today its not far from that.. Diakka has no idea for a 10 yr old or whatever, I did a ?help whens cloaks gonna get fixed :/ and he pmed me with "what is wrong with cloaks" Sorry but if he doesnt know what is wrong w/ cloaks then hes a complete newb.. Staff these days stick around in base 24/7 or afk Most of staff anyways

Edit: Why do u guys waste time and respond to Awesome.. he knows everything rofl

[Reaver]

And then.. if no one on knows... and nobody answers.. then staff gets bitched about for not answering enough when people send help or cheater calls. It's a double edged sword... and no way can they please everyone 100% of the time.

My experiences with staff members in the short time I've been here, have shown me that if people needing help or something from the staff act like an adult... and don't scream or cry, then yeah, they'll usually do what they can. Remember: It isn't like they're getting paid to put up with our bullshit nonsense. They're volunteering for our enjoyment. Yours and mine... Anyone reading this... just think for a moment, before you post a thread about wah wah staff did or didn't do this or that or hold your hand, or tuck you in at night. Think about the fact that someone you have probably never even met is willing to put in their time, to try (specifically TRY) to make a game you like run smooth... FOR FREE.

I'm sorry if all that sounds harsh.. but complaing when people volunteer their time ticks me off, not to mention I had to refriggin format and isntall everything on my computer today.

First of all I just want to say, your my freakin hero. lol. Your the first peson Ive ever witnessed actually say what you said, and show real appreciation for TW staff and explain why. And second of all, I was told all of my paychecks for being in staff must of got lost in the mail jk :P

Point being, there is room for improvement in EVERYTHING. And no we cant please every person on this game all the time, thats just impossible. But I feel ALOT of staffers try their hardest to please as many people as possible, and thats what it comes down to.



Oh, and shin-ra Im a warbird

[sexy wooden spoon]

People dont see staff as a chore as most of them want it 4themselves. Therefore they wont be saying good job 4 all the hard work. What they will say is ur doing crap, u shud be axed......my turn.

Oops I made a mistake a while back, I didn't mean Mattey should be an ER or ZH.

Maybe Mattey should be a Lagcheat Investigator Staffer, since he duels alot and recently got banned for complaining about a particular player who obviously was lagcheating. All he would do is look around at suspicious players and analyze them. Then Mattey would have the power to ban them for cheating after 3 repeated warnings.

Also other players could send Mattey messages noting any highly suspicious lagcheat players.

This would help other staff out, so they can concetrate on their primary duties. I find if people have less tasks to concentrate on, they usually do a better job.

Ok, I know I'm in no position to dictate to TW Staff, but just an idea.

Just think it is sad, that he was trying to do something noble and got banned for it.

50%+ TW=Teenagers
Staff=Authority
Teenagers=Rebellious
Therefore 50%+ TW hate staff.

Math is fun.

the 50% is an estimate probably much more...
