The problems of Krysyy, Aikar and how EMC is run.

This makes me worried I get having a job and having a life. We all have one. But if you are pretty much the General Manager of the entire server then yeah maybe devote a little bit more time and effort to the server. Maybe spend more time talking to players and getting to know them and maybe if you think they are willing ask them to help with some stuff. i know many players would love it if they were asked to help. If you cannot devote the time to the server that the server needs then we need either a new community manager or another one to help out

Kryssy, let's be honest here.

First of all I will say that I originally came back behind my computter to wrote a "Let's just not have Kryssy be the scapegoat for all out problems" post. I do indeed feel like this thread starts spiralling in that derection, and that is injust, I argree, you're not the one reason, but rather: there are some "serious concerns."

I think it is safe to say that we are not talking about the "what" here. You asked about events, developement and play interactions, and none of that really is it.
I don't think any of us are talking about the "what" we are talking about the"how."

That's what I ment with the "we can only point at stuff and say "that is wrong" without doing anything" There is no one mistake or problem with being human at hand here. I feel like most staff simplely have a problem with how you deal with stuff. You seem to always reason from your own side to the other side, not understanding that some people have widly different ways of looking at something. You seem to forget that the way you observe something changes what you observe.

The main reason I was planning to leave the buildteam anyway when you kicked me out of because I couldn't deal with your way of dealing with disargreements. You seem to forget that there is no neutral option. Not deciting is always picking a side. The way you observe changes what you see.

I do also defenetly argree that this thread is quite an attack, and not a very social one. As you can see, a lot of people have been angee about this kind of stuff for a long time.
I have talked with you about some of thease problems in private chat before, so, for me, this is just another one, for others, it's the first time they feel just to speak their minds.

You always pretend to be "above" everything, and I think that's why people "forget" you're human too. You are so busy being the one person who is in control, that you forgot actually acting properly. In "public" you hide behind unabigious statements, and you talk behind people's backs in private. Don't worry: some of the staff told me basically everything you had to say about me.

It's not the "what" It's the "how"

-----

I am not here to say I think you're a bad person or anything: I know you're not. I know you're human, and make mistakes, and I am willing to accept that. But you don't seem to be able to do so.

I think what happend at the buildteam is a good example here. I know you're human and make mistakes leading a buildteam, I understand, but I also know most of those mistakes come from you not being a builder. You should learn to accept some people are better at stuff tham you are, and that you should give those the wheel. (No, I'm not talking about myself, I know I'd be a terrible leader)

I don't know if that also means we need a new comunety manager, I just feel like you should know where your own problems are. Learn to know yourself, and, with that, learn what you can better give to others.

If so many ex staff have a problem with how YOU have handled problems maybe that is a sign that you don't handle things the right way if so many different people with different personalities dislike your way of handling things it's probably wrong

Wow.

Here are my thoughts on the situation, if anyone really cares that is. I haven't been behind staff doors to see a problem, I haven't had any negative interaction with the administration on this server that led me to think there was a problem. Everything I know is from other people's words, which I trust. It is clear that with the outcry of testimonies on this thread that a problem exists. Now I'm going to try and say something I think is very reasonable, but could easily get me ostracized from this group revolution.

Calm down, catch your breath, and maybe give Krysyy some credit here.

Look, by the sounds of it Krysyy has made some mistakes. Just imagine how pressuring her job would be though. I may have never experienced a problem with the administration, but I've been a problem for the administration. Back in 2016 I was a giant pain for Krysyy to deal with and I could tell. I was causing tons of drama which led to a great number of arguments and eventually some bans. Her job isn't easy. Looking back on that time period I could see why she would be stressed out with certain players. Like she said, she's only human. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Krysyy also has a job outside of EMC. That could also easily add more stress onto the pressure of running what was, and quite possibly still is, the best mass Minecraft server to have ever existed.

Krysyy has acknowledged these problems, and with a thread as damning as this, it would be hard for me to believe she wouldn't try to fix these problems moving forward. We don't need another community manager, the one we have is fine. Maybe she's just fine and not great (sorry Krysyy), but every single person has room for improvement. Instead of giving her destructive criticism and signing petitions to revoke her role, let's give her constructive criticism and help her with the changes we want to see.

We are the EMC community. The best community in all of gaming. Let's not ruin that.

Number one rule isn't very obvious tbh, and especially not to anyone reading the thread. I think that you are hinting that I have shared staff secrets (definitely have now) but I don't actually know what I could've said. If it makes you more comfortable telling me in PM then feel free.

I will admit, you have put in a great amount of time posting on suggestion threads/gossiping in modchat. But you are never ingame, you are not the face of our community that you should be. And i think you know that.

Don't you find it pretty condemning that no one has actually disagreed with my post other than you? I'm not sure if you can sugar coat your involvement in EMC for any longer.

On an unrelated note, one of the main things you look for in staff is lack of involvement in drama and yet you thrive on it. It's so hypocritical, should you even be staff?

I think you totally missed the point for my first point. Let's just move on.

Yes i know the staff arent allowed to reply, I don't want to state the obvious. There has barely been a single thing positive from the COMMUNITY about the COMMUNITY manager. I also find it very funny that you are trying to patronise me, we both know that this statement is LUDACRIS.

And yep, sure, all hail the mighty Krysyy and her track record.
Flight time have a good day.

I totally understand, but alredey did.

Indeed, 1.14 is copleatly broken. I have also been working on some dev stuff on this version (modmaking), and for everyone else out there: the not updating is NOT KRYSSY's FAULT, or Aikar's, for that matter. There is a lot of just really bad code and hackfixes that I wouldn't trust to run something that's dear to me.

Indeed, I also have basically always argreed with the end result. It's about how we get there, and about the little stuff that goes in between those larger controversies.

If a manager shouldn't be doing stuff like that herself maybe she shouldn't be so insanely critical of every little thing staff do.

She said in her post

If you are then staff are too aren't they?

If you can make mistakes and not have a care then maybe if a staff makes a mistake do the same. You can't hold yourself in a different category then others especially when others are doing and acting on more then you yourself

You know I gotta admit lately in the past year in my opinion emc has gotten kinda shitty. There has been a lack of events. A lack of promos. And just a overall lack of excitement or something to do. This is the main reason I had left, I saw that hypixel has had a very well set up new skyblock game that actually updates, and turns out it’s pretty fun. I think that emc needs to update if they wanna try and keep a active player base I think that they should just update and work out all the little bugs slowly. On the other hand I do have a great idea for the dragon tombs that I’ve had for around a year but I haven’t mentioned it due to emc not even updating. I feel like emc needs something new something that will take time to achieve in terms of in game items maybe something new that takes time to get or whatever. I do believe though due to what I have heard from the community and and some staff. That emc is dying, I remember when I joined back many years ago there was events almost everyday, so many things to do so many things to look forward to but lately I feel like it’s will emc update in the next century? Maybe and I know you krysyy have said it that you don’t want to flood the community but add some new promos maybe some new custom items. Like come on “minecon snook up on us” like is that really a good excuse? And so what if we didn’t see it coming that doesn’t mean we can’t still have a promo a day or two after I mean it’s not gonna be that hard to decide what it should be when the last two years minecon items have practically been the same. Therefore I’m just saying to devs Krysyy and Aikar if y’all want emc to still try and be active y’all need to start looking into and asking to the community for opinions and as to why they don’t feel like playing anymore. Ima be honest if I were a new player I’d probably disconnect after an hour or two.

That is all I have to say as in regards to the topic and emcs current state.

More activity is nice, but this thread makes me sad.
I'm glad that at least Krysyy's post didn't disappoint. She's amazing.
I have one complaint, though:

These paragraphs present entirely new and important information. This should not be a TL;DR.

Well there's your problem then. Stop claiming the 'community' is in 100% agreement with what you think. There is nothing more irritating then people claiming the community dislikes something when it's more often then not a handful of people or the loud few that make it seem like it's more. The rest either care not to get invloved or are so sick of this same drama garbage which leads to target practise.

What something to change? Then come up with a way to do so. Mouthing off and generalizing things will only accomplish the opposite. This garbage is why I don't hang around here that much in the small amount of time I do have to get on.\

Also have to laugh all these people claiming they know staff business when they have never been one and are only going off what they've been told. How cute.

I get stressful but when she gets to make some mistakes but when a staff does it she demotes them. That seems hypocritical in the highest regard. If you are going to put others to different standards then yourself maybe she shouldn't be in management

This involuntarily made me smile.
>.>

But the community is in agreement with him. Out of the probably 30-40 long time players I know of that still give a shit about EMC most of them agree that we need some changes

let the staff state what they think!

let them say what they think not what you want to hear

If one of the problems is we don't have enough staff or other positions are not being filled maybe actually put of stuff saying "Hey we need a new Events coordinator" Most people could do that if given a chance. The thing I see most on here especially for staff if people thinking other people can't and because they THINK they can't they don't ever even give them a shot to try

I'm sorry but you cannot tell them not to respond to something. That's called censorship and is against the law. You legally cannot keep them from responding to a heated post and any staff that do are well within their rights to do so. The fact that you even thought it was a good idea to try and keep staff from responding to certain posts from who? The COMMUNITY shows how much we need a change

What’s wrong you’re scared they’re gonna tell the truth on how bad emc has gotten?
