Rules Updates: August 11, 2018

Discussion in 'Empire News' started by Krysyy, Aug 12, 2018.

  1. The Staff TEAM decided a change was necessary. The staff TEAM is expecting a certain result. A change had to made for that result to take effect. Can't just ask you to envision it, because the long-term effects don't work that way. Some changes we can do that with. Something like this, we can't.
  2. Well, it seems that you didn't have time to plan the actual backlash too...

  3. Am I seriously the only one here who is going to acknowledge the myriad of single block auctions?
  4. You're overstepping. Something big like this should be consulted with the community, and at the very least, a select few members you trust. I've seen servers die because of administrative overreach. These people care and are giving you a chance to rectify it. Other people would just leave.
  5. We knew there would be backlash. We knew this was going to stir the pot in a very dramatic way. If we didn't, we wouldn't have worded the OP in the way we did. We just expected people to be willing to give it a chance when we said it would take time, not fight tooth and nail against something they haven't even seen the results of.

  6. The staff works for Aikar to support the community to bring him money. Making people quit doesn't bring in more money to Aikar. Also, the decision came not from the whole staff team... you know that. Don't drag them through the mud. YOU have the final say... You said YES.
  7. the fact that you knew that is horrible smh

    that's just awful

  8. If you think that's the reason we're here, you are extremely wrong.

    The decision was discussed with the staff team. The staff team did not object and some even added additional restrictions needed that the original SS team thinking over this did not. I'm not dragging anyone through the mud here.

  9. whelp. this has turned into a mess. WARLORD OUT!
  10. Then what is your job Krysyy? Because if it's moderating and supporting the community then I think the community would have to say they are very unhappy. You've made such a huge issue out of this by not listening to our complaints. But apparently these mythical and convenient complaints we've never heard of are worth more than ours... Explain please.
  11. Computer: logical, factual arguments
    Man: Krysyy
    Hammer: "no"

  12. I have listened to each and every one of your complaints. I have said that after a period of time, we'll post a poll to ask everyone what they think. However, this will only happen AFTER players have been able to see the results we expect and that 's not going to happen in 48 hours. It's going to take a few weeks.

    I have never once said it was sticking this way no matter what. I have only asked for you to give it a chance.

  13. You are not listening....

    Like when a baby spits out nasty baby food... you dont feed it to them again... meaning why try to feed the community this horrible rule change if they spit it out multiple times..

    we all know it is not donuts or anything

  14. Actually you do. You train the child to eat their vegetables, even if they don't like them because it's good for them. That has nothing to do with this argument though.
  15. nope just like this entire thread, you are missing the point of this analogy
  16. I feel you are missing the point that Krysyy wouldn't cause any harm when the change happened. True some were gonna be upset with the change but that doesn't mean you get to lash out at Krysyy and the staff for their choice.
  17. Hahahaha.

    Krysyy already got into you about this one but I'm gonna reply here also. We do not work to bring Aikar money. I can assure you, most of us don't care what Aikar makes off of here. Staff are chosen based on volunteering to put in work to make EMC better as far as community and fun goes. Not once in anyone's application did they go on about making Aikar more money, I'm sure. (And for a quick tip, most people don't like to work to make someone else money when they make nothing from it... especially considering some of the hard work staff have to do. If they were told it was to 'make Aikar money' they would not do it.)

    Believe it or not, staff do talk over stuff prior to announcing it to all of you. They discuss it a LOT.

    The goal of a Minecraft server should never be to exist to make money. That isn't to say there aren't those that do. But if that is your goal, you're going to find your community messed up pretty fast and people not caring much about one another. Because if the staff only care about money, then players don't feel cared about, and as a result, don't spread that kindness around that EMC is so well-known for.

    You still have a lot to learn about EMC if this is what you think of the staff.
  18. I feel as if one week is fair... A week is along time and people expect to lose a lot more money if it's any longer. If you do a poll in one week I feel as if that will be a fair compromise.

  19. Coming from being a Uncle with 3 nieces that's how you make them learn to eat at that age or just want something from the bottle which at one point isn't good..

  20. why dont you just stop trying to argue with me, okay? I have already stopped quoting and replying to your stuff
