Meph resigned?! The death of GST !!!!

June 10th is on Saturday for submitting your teams that's the last day but if meph doesn't give us no confirmation then we're pretty much in danger this year so there might be no gst 2017 unless Casper comes and saves us

Lmao you guys are so dumb I hate seeing you fakes complain yet some of you here were the ones harassing Anero about the dual identity, yes he had two identities so he could actually enjoy the game without getting spammed. Its no secret Era literally has a disgusting player base like for example kids always cry about no one hosting, someone hosts then they sit there and harass them for "not hosting good events" for the players there is no middle ground for them they only want what they want. I still can't even believe people still cry about the nerfs like just let it go. Keep harassing staff the way we do on Era and we wont have anyone left

Like what the hell is going on? Era is not the way it used to be.
I miss the days where there was competitions, quests, froz spamming, some guy called Dio causing a mixture of chuckles and Anger; everyone getting along.
Where has that all gone?
From what I've heard, there was a lot planned for this summer, Halloween and Christmas, The northwest remodel was just the starter.

Take a look at this Thread: https://www.era-go.com/forum/showthr...un-Admin/page2

The main comment that made me start this post was: "Id rather have no guns admins than bitzsam."
Like what the hell is wrong with you?
Grow the hell up or take your carcinogenic attitude elsewhere because I'm actually sick of it, this applies to everyone who feels the need to constantly make witty comments about Bitzsam nerfing the guns.


The gun Nerf happened a while back, but you still feel the need to get under Sam's skin. For what reason!?
Yes, the guns have been changed;
Yes it was unexpected and that sudden change made it seem totally unreasonable, but that's no excuse to Harass him (Yes, what you've been doing is harassment).
The issue is, I doubt BitzSam can even log onto the forums without seeing loads of Hate or childish comments towards the Nerf, but despite all that he still stays on.
You want to know why!?

Because he cares.

When Christmas comes by in a couple of months who will y'all be asking for the Exotic Items(Do you even know how long he spends on the Items?)?
The very person you keep associating with the company Nerf?

It all started as a Joke, I'm not gonna lie it made me chuckle, however at this point you're just acting like delirious fools.
Then what makes me laugh is the fact that, the very same people who were having a go at him will be applying for Moderator (Despite the fact they'd be lacking in what makes a Good moderator).


If you're not careful, You are going to lose many Staff who care about this game more than you think.
I see on so many threads that you guys want quests and stuff but if you're making staff resign (not saying it's always your fault as some have resigned due to personal issues or other commitments), then How do you expect all these requests to be fulfilled?

Anero and Meph have put so much time into Multiplex, you don't understand. ANERO is a PRA, not a Developer yet almost every time I warp to him, he would ALWAYS be there working on stuff (In Multiplex) to keep YOU guys entertained yet what do you do, criticise him for what he does, and bash him for any Action he takes. Revolting.
I was so hyped for GST as well :/

I'm not pinning the entire blame on everyone here. You know yourself how you've acted towards staff and if it's in a good manner I respect you. The problem is a few individuals are like a drop of paint on a wet white canvas, they slowly diffuse creating the impression that everyone is bad.

I just had to get this off my chest and I hope this will change the stance some of you take.

You may have just lost GST.
Think wisely about the actions you take because you'll end up losing era.

Era indeed is dying; the community is a contributing factor.
If you're one of the phew players who is always positive and respectful then give yourself a double cheese burger ;).



So where Meph has gone I don't know, but all we know from the last thread he has resigned.

I disagree. You get what you put out. You don't see this level of uproar over admin quitting from Kirzey & Anero.
Why? Because they weren't a peoples person. Yes they contributed greatly but if you barely communicate with the people in a respectable manner what'd expect? How'd they appreciate you if they barely even know what you do & you never talk to them? People have a right to express their opinions, & the changes made by admins affect people & players, I think if you look around & see so many angry people you'd start to question maybe you've done something wrong rather than be in self denial.
Graal is like football its all about results, if you don't deliver then expect to be bashed, if you don't deliver & don't communicate thats even worse.
At least if you don't deliver give us a good explanation.
There's no smoke without fire, its karma.

Your argument is invalid

Meph and Anero are two of the greatest staff era has had. Anero put all his time trying to make this game better and I have seen players constantly complaining to him. Even with all the allegations, you have to give the guy at least some sort of respect for all he has done for era.

Meph has not released any formal statement about his resigning so we can't jump to conclusion yet. It will be pretty sad seeing him go since no one can replace him. Meph is a good man and a people person and understands the community more than any other staff member. Based on what bulletzone said, I think this should be a wake up call to everyone, including staff. No one can expect people to act perfectly, everyone has an opionion and they will share it if they have to. Going back to what Donald said, if you see unhappy people everywhere then it means that something isn't right and you should find the problem and seek a solution. Telling players to start behaving isn't going to make them change.

I can agree that I am one of the players that constantly complains about what staff do, but I am just giving a friendly opinion out and expect it to be reviewed and taken into consideration. If the changes are going to effect me directly, than I am going to try to get my say in it. I am appreciative of what every staff member does, but not every player is like me and everyone will have different views.

Your right, and i hope everything will be back like before.
Stay positive everyone and wait for a new decision to be taken about GST :)

Is gst going to be postponed?

It's roughly 2-3 weeks from now

It is always sad to see a valued staff member leave us.

Meph thank you for everything you have ever done for us.

Anero left because players were treating him like crap. He wanted to experience Graal the best way but players block that opportunity and causes him to be profoundly uninterested in the game.

He will be missed


I thought he was a admin that didn't care about what players say , it probably got to him in the end

I can apply for PR if that'll help..

sad that a lot of the best staffs are leaving :( snk where are you :0

Maybe Casper and Dereak can host GST

Since everyone is getting out what they're thinking:
I think that most of the community here needs to know how to express their opinion because lately these so called "opinions" are more in the form of harassment and arguments.
Also I think that there should be an announcement where it reminds the players that when giving an opinion you should think about all the interest of the graalians and not self interest (and not claim that the whole playerbase wants what the person wants)
Basically we arrived to a state where a tutorial on "how to post your opinion" is needed, yes we've all come this low and it's time to start saying "yes we've all made mistake we'll forget the past and start improving the future without chaos"
If I were in place of bitszam or anero or meph or all those staff who resigned because of that attitude I wouldve done the same thing.
Everyone should stop wanting to see the cup half empty and start seeing it half full (be positive)
My country is small, and is going basically through the same issues on what's happening here, and if you people continue to do this trust me by experience it won't end well.
So please, I beg each and every person reading this paragraph, just think about others before talking, be positive and at least act mature so you get respected.

He's a slow Typer?

Hello!

First, I want to thank the community for the kind words =D.

Second off, I can't say that the community has played a part in my abrupt resignation.

While I do notice that the community has been slowly becoming apprehensive, I've always chosen to turn a blind eye to that side of things.
You get what you look for -- see a community as it is, and it only get worse; but see a community for what it could be, and it becomes what it should be.

Plus, I've always considered myself a player first, and an admin second.

I honestly wouldn't have lasted almost 15 years if I didn't genuinely enjoy playing the game. Not only does it keep me here, but as an administrator, this has given me the insight to continue to preserve and protect the game that I enjoy, and subsequently, the game many of you have grown to enjoy as well.

Being a player also puts me into that community, rank and file along with many of you. So again - I can't say that the community has pushed me away. Quite the contrary -- the community is part of the reason why I've been able to stay for so long; and the kind-hearted responses I'm seeing in light of my leave is validation of that.

The main thing that has contributed to my abrupt resignation, ironically, is my work ethic here.
Knowing that so much work can be done here, and my genuine passion for wanting to improve things for the players (and for myself), I have been putting in major hours this past month or so.

I've been helping HW out wherever I can lend a hand because she's fantastic. She's a different type of manager than Snk, but she has a genuine care for the server and the community that I can relate to. I've known her since 2012, and was glad to lend my services any way she needed.

Having previous experience as a Gang Admin(I was Gang/Business Admin in 2007 on PC Era), I took on the Gang Admin title when she said she needed one; unfortunately, this also happened when GST Qualifiers had my focus, so I couldn't jump right into it.

When GST qualifiers ended, I expressed a concern with the way it was being run, which ultimately caused Anero to drop out of the GST team. He had previously been the one that did the behind-the-scenes work, such as graphics (gang flags, tiles, signage, stream transitions, etc.), managerial stuff(brackets, getting team info, prizes), as well as the arena.

And honestly, I'm not a graphics guy -- I know my way around photoshop, but it is very time consuming, as I don't do it regularly; and I don't want to compromise on quality. In addition to trying to fumble with the Stream transitions and figure out what the hell is going on with the GST Arena, I have people asking me to make their flags for their GST team, and I honestly don't have the heart to tell them, "You're probably better off making it yourself".

Granted, I could probe the graphics team for some help, but I literally can't afford for them to tell me "no"; I don't want to put them in that kind of position, on such short notice.

During this time, I was also having trouble getting GST teams to cooperate -- like vote for their preferred bracket method, or give me a list of their GST roster; given that many people can't make it with the GST date change (and I couldn't make the previous date).

These same people were asking me to schedule a tour with them around the GST arena(as I promised), while others were asking me to make changes to the arena.
So if changes were made, I would then be obligated to give the gangs yet another tour of the arena.

To put it simple: It was ridiculously overwhelming. If I knew I'd be doing this GST alone, I would have done it much differently. Before the qualifiers even started, I would have announced a thread stating specifically how the brackets were going to be done, and what gangs can expect to happen once the qualifiers are done. That way everybody would have had at least three weeks to prepare -- gangs would have their rosters way in advance, graphics team would have had time to lend help, we could have had the arena finalized, etc.

I also wouldn't have ousted basing from the competition -- it was literally painful to see the Basers cut from competition, and even more painful to see that they were cut out in place of people who were putting in a half-hearted effort.

After having spent literally my entire weekend on trying to get teams together, brackets, graphics, making appointments with people to walk the GST Arena, and gathering input on the GST arena, I still had much to do. The more input I got, the more work it meant for me to do by myself -- Plus I had people messaging me about the Gang Admin stuff; rewards that they should have gotten at least 6 months ago.

All of this, while knowing in the back of my head that I had a proctored exam Monday night, which I had hardly even looked at, given that, for the three weeks leading up to Anero's drop from the GST team, I dedicated 100% of my free time(not impacting work or family) towards working on Graal -- Doing the qualifiers, assisting with Northwest release, leveling a new base(yeah, I said it ;)), and now fully organizing a GST.

So there I was, Monday night, frantically trying to cram the information for the proctored Exam (they literally record your screen + tap into your microphone and your camera).

The result wasn't surprising:
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a48...psvayvpx9z.png

That, ladies and gentlemen, is a solid F.
Keep in mind, the lowest grade I've ever gotten on an exam on the University level is a 75% (C).

Fortunately, it's recoverable -- there are two other major exams for this class; and, along with projects, I should be able to skate by with a B, or perhaps even an A. But it will require much effort now.

With that, I cannot afford to put any more time towards Graal for this semester; especially the kind of work that GST requires at this point. If it was a mere "show up on the 22nd and punch in commands, while working a microphone and stream", then I'd be down.

But as you see, there is much more that needs to be done.

As many of you are aware, I'm an accounting student at USF, set to graduate this year (Fall 2017). In order to stay in the accounting program at USF, I need to maintain a 3.0 GPA. I'm currently floating around a 3.50 (which isn't bad at all).

My leave is most likely not permanent. Again - I enjoy playing the game, and lending a helping hand with the staff team any time I can has also been a pleasure of mine. I also love hosting these large-scale events; but not at the cost of my University grades.

Until next time,
Meph

This is understandable. Although I would like for you to come back so gst can be done I can tell that college grades are way more important than a pixelated game. Goodluck on your exams

Ow that's unfortunate meph, I say let Mercy entertainment youtube channel stream the show, get someone (any staff who's willing) to summon gangs to the arena, the gangs who aren't ready are disqualified, let them fight and do the event, it's okay if they don't know the arena, war lands aren't familiar anyways, since when there was flags? This year's GST looked like it was going to be massive. Well unfortunately if that's not possible then bye bye GST

I realized that reply was too edgy. My bad

University is much more important than Graal, you gotta prioritize.

It'll be sad to see you go but we wish you good luck :)

Sad to see you leave Meph, but outside life is much more important, and I don't blame you for resigning. Although the community can be toxic, we'd always be here for you, and if you were struggling we would do anything to help, heck, I'd learn advanced gfx just to help.

It's upsetting to see everyone go, Kirzey, storm, Anero (although we had quite difficult time, I still respect him for what he's done), and now yourself; I wish things could have been better for everybody, and now we're all on our heels and don't even know what to do. Disruptions among co-workers happen all the time, it's no surprise there was a dissconnection of ideas between them. Anero had strict rules, but Meph simply wanted there to be leeway, and the possibility for everyone to play.

I will be completely honest, although I've had arguments with staff such as Bitzsam and Anero, realizing the work they've done is incredible, and it really hurts knowing I was one of the ones who made Anero's time worse. As for Bitzsam, he tries to make it fair, I see his vision, and honestly I'm fine with everything now. We as players don't view the staff title someone has, we don't view what it really means. We only look at the person, and make judgements from there, which is wrong on so many levels.

I'm out of words for this, but I must say I understand your cause of leave Meph, and I apologize to Anero and Bitzsam for the trouble I caused (if they're reading this).

My final question is. What do we do now?

Meph imma miss you so much :( god bless you man hopefully sometime I'll come to Tampa and see you :) your like 20-30 mins away:D

You only start missing the thing when you lose it

Meph was a truly funny guy and saw the positive in everyone. You will be missed for the time you are not on.

@Meph

Very understandable, and I respect your decision, hope your semester goes wonderful!
We will be waiting for you to comeback in full force.

Meph stated his resignation isn't permanent, and as a player I would so want for him to return as much as Anero,Kirzey and storms ..
so until then u got all my respect and wishes for ur University and don't come back before u get what u want from it ! Ace it meph =D
