  • The Inevitable Thread

    Everyone has noticed how Trench Wars has a hard time keeping anyone in leadership around for a long period of time. Leaders have so much to deal with between running their stuff, doing whatever work got them into the position, and dealing with people that it takes the fun out of the game.

    The one thing that kept me going with staff was knowing it was helping me bring TWDev closer to being what I think 2dragons dreamed it would be. The official development group for Trench Wars, handling all development. Recently, we had a massive overhaul of our structure and I thought I finally achieved that dream but now I've realized it will never be achieved.

    "Upper staff" (especially the newer members) have the idea in their heads that they can do whatever they want to and they all individually run the zone. I am really disappointed in the new upper staffers, the power has gone to their heads faster than any I've seen before. I would see someone use super once in a blue moon before, but now it's about the opposite.

    I tried playing nice with upper staff, but now I'm tired of daily telling them that they don't control TWDev and with college starting in about 12 hours for me, I don't have the time to do it anymore. About 30 minutes ago, I removed all of my staff access in the game and in the process of getting my forum access removed. If Pure_Luck desires, he can change all the passwords to bots, sysop, phpMyAdmin, twmaps@gmail.com, the bots account for RoboKing's server, and the ftp account I use to access trenchwars.org.

    When I first joined staff over a year ago, I didn't think it'd end this way but this just shows that asshats can get the best of all of us.


    To all the non-corrupt/power hungry staff out there... good luck.
    Ban Ikrit

              I don't think you'd want people to say "I'm sorry to see you go" so I'm not. You were great for this zone, just a shame that others caused you to leave.

              Good luck in college as well

                Ikrit, good luck with college and real life, and thanks for developing what TWDev have become!

                You'll be greatly missed.



                Best wishes,

                  Sad to see you go Ikrit, you were one of the better bot dev members left, especially since Qan and Guano left definitely. Another important staffer leaving because of leadership issues huh, sounds vaguely familiar. The zone is worse for this, some people need to start making some changes before every decent staffer that can help this zone decides to follow ikrits example and not take it anymore.

                        Move on to bigger and better things, Dude, you were wasted in TW. You will be missed.
                        People who are rather more than six feet tall and nearly as broad across the shoulders often have uneventful journeys. People jump out at them from behind rocks then say things like, "Oh. Sorry. I thought you were someone else."

                              I probably dont need to say it, but will anyway. Staff doesnt control coders and they cant come to them with projects and say 'do it now', especially if its not a project the coder agrees on. It seems no one really appreciates their work or what they do for the zone I guess, which is sad. But really a major factor in this is also the fact that probably everyone was whining at Ikrit about the bots being down (players, I mean), and he didnt have access to fix the problem. I probably also imagine a few 'ur useless' comments thrown in there, too to keep his spirits at an all time high about giving back to the game.
