  1. Just to tell everyone know, I wouldn't suggest messing with me, Due to the fact, I know powerful people, as in those who wonder "Why is my internet shutting off?" Or my favorite... "What happened to my account???" This isn't a threat, Just a suggestion to not mess with me, any of those who think it's funny starting "fudge" on the internet, Seriously have a low-life, My name is Icy, and I stand by my actions and say, You have nothing on me. Goodbye xG φ

    LOL


  2. I've had this thread typed up for a while with the intention of posting it with two weeks left before I leave for college, so...

    amedia.tumblr.com_184e5233e3b5258e3c99fc911cba5e57_tumblr_mlqpc49nSE1s46koto1_400.gif.5ee678bdbcf266f23c43b3cceff43282.gif

    I've largely lost the drive I once had for being involved in the leadership of this clan, so I'm resigning from my position of Community Leader. I don't want to post some massive wall of text here, so if you'd like to read my full reasons for resigning you can read it here.

     

    My initial plan was to leave right away, but since CS:GO was rebooted I've decided to do something else. Until the end of summer I've decided to keep my temp mod status and membership, mainly playing League and CS:GO. Once school starts my activity will almost certainly take a pretty catastrophic hit, and at that point I'll resign my temp mod powers on CS:GO and officially leave the clan.

     

    Adios


  3. To be honest, I think we should just do a hard reset on ranks and go back to how it was before the Community Leader rank was introduced. If I could choose anyone to take up the post, it would either be Chrono, Forest or Aegean. Unfortunately that probably won't happen as Chrono has been too inactive recently, Forest probably wouldn't accept the offer (polite canadian bastard), and Aegean isn't even in the clan and I doubt whether or not Silence would even let him anywhere near the position. Personally, I would say just stick to the old system and have one Co-Leader. Having multiple Co-Leaders (especially if you're going to prop them up as "representatives" from a specific division) will only serve to divide the clan even further across divisional lines. Whoever takes up the position has to abandon their former division (if we're going with the original level of powers that the Co-Leader had, this person still would have powers) and realize that they're serving a broader purpose. If you want someone with a high level of forum and server powers but also serves the interests of a specific division, you've essentially just described the rank of Division Leader. If the clan decides to have what essentially boils down to a Division Leader with slightly more powers and several added responsibilities, then so be it. Keep in mind that doing so will cause rifts in the future as divisions change in size.

     

    At the bare minimum, the change eliminating the leader rank should be reverted. Since that change was made there have been serious issues with chain of command and has resulted in a fair amount of confusion on the responsibilities of the Community Leader.


  4. If it's going to be kept, it has to be pretty strictly regulated, especially if there's a problem with staff going too far. We did something similar on CS:S called Late Nite Jailbreak, and in my opinion it was pretty successful. It was fun for pretty much everyone, CT's and T's broke tons of rules, admins abused a lot (not too overboard, no one was slaying @all every single day, it was mostly somewhat innocent) and it allowed for staff to let off some much-needed steam. I would suggest emulating this as megarobin suggested. Schedule a specific day and time for it to happen (I would suggest a Friday or Saturday night), let everyone know that it's happening and see what people's opinions are, and for a couple of hours just let loose. If people don't like it, then it should probably be scrapped. If everyone is having a fun time and people seem to be enjoying it, keep it around and we can have them as a regularly scheduled event. However, I don't think that it should remain as a choice for last request. Occasional abuse can be fun, but having it too frequently can turn people off to the server. This isn't something that should be happening every day.
