You see, they are powerful BUT we should not be afraid of them, they must be afraid of us.
Anyone agree?
You seem to forget that of the COPIOUS amount of people who work hard on Toribash: (GMs, smods, local mods, russian local mods, market squad members, clan council, clan mods, admins, ninjas, developers, content creators, mod makers, minibash developers, marketeers, torinews, etc. etc. etc.), less than 10%, probably closer to like 3% of the people who spend hours selflessly on Toribash are actually compensated for their thoughts, time, and effort.
More now than ever I'm more than happy with who's holding what positions of staff. You have great people with good personalities like ishi and Erth in the admin seats, GMs who actually like to come up with interesting events, great artists in item forgers making some really cool and exciting stuff that I can't wait for them to unveil to the public, SUPER experienced people sitting on the Msquad staff, and Smods who care way more about doing their job than having an ego and sipping on scotch in what use to be a gentlemen's club. For the first time in a LONG time- the people with the most power still actively log in and play with regular guys in regular servers. I'm pretty convinced there have been admins/smods in the past who legit didn't even have Toribash installed.
We like "fresh blood" coming in wanting to "change the world". When we see it in people who we think are actually mature and responsible, usually we give them a chance. Now more than ever we've been shifting staff around rather than recycling them because the philosophy as become "people will do a better job at a position they'll have more fun holding".
