A Wanderer (5/16/2004 10:49:44 PM): I'm open to any ideas outside "you go quit now", but unless someone tells me ideas, all I know what to do, is what I feel I should do

A Wanderer (5/16/2004 10:49:09 PM): Clash was scripting the stuff most people didn't want. He had working versions of the stuff. I asked Wyand why Clash was making a new system already and Wyand said "Dunno. whatever" I have been updating a lot of stuff myself alone. And trying to fix Clash's bugged scripts. Notice how day/night is messed up half the time? no one's touched the script. it just started messing up. Well, it has been touched, but that was after it started flipping out. Items are being fixed. Like, either renamed or deleted, cause Clash caused what economy we had to go to hell because he told people how to Dupe items. Lots of stuff is being worked on, even if you don't see it yet. Lahan is being repaired finally. Trent is gone, so Val the nation can finally improove. Frost is getting worked on. Suirikun is getting worked on. Empyria is my guinie pig for anything new I make, so it always gets new stuff. Athedia is rather dead because Clash deleted all thier levels and then gave it to Trent, but with Trent gone, they can revive too if they wish to try. Alkaria is just plain dead, lol. There's an entire job system now. I scripted it right after I fired Clash. Mining, Merchant (both NPC Shops and merchant run shops), minting, Scroll makers, ect.. You don't see them yet, cause areas are still being fixed up. I've seen progress with every area I mentioned, so I know they are getting work, I know I'm thick skulled when it comes to quitting, but what do you expect when all people say are "i don't like this, you quit now!" instead of telling me what exactly they feel is wrong and how to fix it or how to improove the server. Honestly, no one has yet to tell me any ideas for improoving val. In fact, 90% of the time I tell someone to tell me what they think I should do to improove

 (5/16/2004 10:41:30 PM): I think my last PM got lost, I don't see it in the history. Sorry if this is a repeat Clash does not want to be owner. He told me this many times. He just wants freedom to script. Wyand DOES keep a close eye on him, he just knows how Clash works best and adapts. He would NOT let a system go through if players did not want it. He checks the forums, he gets player opinion all the time. Neither would Clash. Clash may be thick-headed, but he wouldn't keep a system around unless people loved it. If everyone hated it, he'd script something else. Clash wants to work for VAL. The only reason anyone thinks of making another server, Jesse, is because they can't do what they see as best under you, because you refuse to budge in how you do things. I don't know where you're getting all these admins, but I haven't seen them. Nor have I seen a single thing changed in this server in a long time. Which means it has not stopped its downward spiral. Jesse, the majority of the server wants you gone. I'm not so...obsessed, as they may be with it, but you've been owner for a long time and Val isn't getting any better, so I just think we need a change. Maybe not Clash, maybe not Wyand. Neither really wants ownership. Maybe we could find someone new, someone removed from any alliances or everything that's gone on. Either way, what we have now is not working.

Jesse (5/16/2004 10:29:02 PM): It's not what I want, no. That's why I and other are working hard to fix the problems. But if I leave, val dies. Almost everyone knows that. That's what Vermain and friends were counting on. Get me fired, Wyand kills val by letting Clash do what he wants, steal val content. It will happen if I leave. I appreciate your input on this, and I know I am not the best for this job, but it is my job and I will get things in order. With most of my problem cases banned now (real reasons, I'd never ban over anything stupid), things are calming down on my end, letting me forcus harder on work

 (5/16/2004 10:26:34 PM):

Take a walk around Val and tell me if what you see is what you want Val to be.

Jesse (5/16/2004 10:25:35 PM): Clash was better lost. he was NOT our best scripter. His scripts are very faulty. I've been rescripting a lot of his work because of all these bugs that appeared when he was telling people how to exploit his system We have 3 Scripters currently. myself, Cloud and Takeshi. Takeshi is the official NAT, Coud and I are just scripting cause we can and we want/need to XD We have 3 RP Admins. We had 4, but one had to quit because of RL stuff I never approved nukes. Clash pulled that Alkaria Bombing crap, not I. As for gods, Tarus isn't a god. Just a dead guy who some people worship Vermain was fired, because he was planning with some players to get val shut down so they can steal the content All I delete are people who get WELL over the 10-head limit uploaded. That disrupts no balance Finally, if I leave, Clash owns val. He's bragged about it plenty of times, so I KNOW he'll try. Not to mention, it was happening before I fired him. Wyand lets him get away with anything he wants. I leave, Wyand rehired Clash and Clash owns val through Wyand. Clash turns Val into Diablo 2 with turn based combat as the only method of fighting I know I ain't perfect, but I am better than that =D
