The minute I saw you put yourself as Developer Admin, I couldn't take the rest of the list seriously.

Oh, I saw someone I had never heard of listed as Dev Admin. This explains it.  

I place a debate, on this thread that it's not progressing in at particular form/way.
Just another waste of time in everybody's life, go home.  

A lot of those names are in the wrong positions lool :[  

What's there to even discuss in this thread?

I'm assuming that's a horrible attempt at a snide remark. If so, it's a quite foolish one as well. I've heard of him, barely anything, but I'm vaguely aware who he is. And even if I didn't, humans tend to judge each other by reputation. And there's a good reason why we've done this our entire existence. I haven't heard of him because of his reputation for developing, nor his reputation for managing. If he doesn't have a substantially preceding reputation for either of these areas, logic would imply that he's maybe not the best for for a position which requires both no?

Absolutely nothing.
It's just that people on this forum love to disapprove propositions made. But in this situation, it's perfectly fine to disapprove DK's proposition.  

Wowwwwwww  

This list is really accurate and I really support this. I don't know why you guys are bashing him.End sarcasm

Meph and I got in a discussion about how bad iEra has gotten, and it led me to deduce an entirely new staff team. Note this is entirely ideal, not going to happen. Also, you may be wondering, why did x get this position while y didn't? It's based on ACTIVITY as well as SKILL.

Without further adieu:

oops forgot sound guys

Hattrix (PrAzE AnArChY) - Sound Admin

Milkshake (?) - Sound Artist

iMask (?) - Sound Artist

No me as PR(A)? This list is obviously horrible and should be ignored 150%. kthxbai

Well obviously this list is biased so there's really no point arguing over it.

Maybe ya'll can stop whining and try to develop for a better game.

This thread is pretty much the same as telling your 30 college girlfriends that they're all equally smart and beautiful while secretly you wish you had dated some other person.  

GS1 is a replica of old java. Facebook Graal also uses Java. -snk  

Oppa AFK Style......

I see that my name was dropped in the OP, so I feel it necessary to save face, since some people have been approaching me in-game asking me about this "list".

While I agree that some names on that list are did a great job in their respective positions, we need to face the reality that they're just a piece of Era development history, and acknowledge them as mentors that taught those who are teaching our present generation. We shouldn't limit the list, or even label it as "ideal", because for all we know, the next best person could be lurking within anybody reading this post right now.

It's inevitable for the baton to be passed. I'm one of about four first-generation(2002) Era players still around. If we shut out people that came after me, most of those mentioned on your list would have never gotten a chance to flourish. It's because we enabled them to join the ranks, learn, and practice their crafts to perfection that they achieved success. Their success paved the way for the next generation to succeed.

Instead of masterfully devising a "hall-of-fame" of staff, I'd rather focus my energies continuing to train the next generation to hold the positions with the same zeal that the "hall-of-famers" did.

It's for this reason that I put so much effort in my forum posts whenever I talk about gangs, guns, PKing, or basing. I'm very open in sharing my stance on these topics because I feel that it's my job to educate the next generation on my craft. It's my job to document and teach what has happened in the past, as well as the mission statements and ideologies that will keep the server flourishing in the future.

It's very likely that these posts will be around longer than I will. If PKing or Guns on this server ever hit rock bottom, there will be a circle of people wondering how to improve PKing, what to do with guns, or what went wrong. Even if I'm no longer around, referencing my posts would be enough of a starting point to jump the engine, get it going in the right direction, and provide the tools to keep it going in the future.

In regard to my conversation with DK, I mainly pointed out fallacies I see in guns today, and publicly touched on most of those in a thread on era-go.
