  1. Hello all. I'm disappointed that it's come to this but since Krysyy doesn't want to give me a response in private, she'll have to give answers in public.

    I thoroughly enjoyed carrying the staff team on my back jk helping the staff team out recently however there is a major problem in how it's run which stems from 2 people: Krysyy and Aikar.

    Before I 'spill the tea', I just want to say that I have nothing against any of the SS, mods, devs e.t.c. You guys are great and very, very resilient.



    You'd think a community manager would actually care about the community rather than ranting about every single member possible in front of all the staff, with barely any reason to. She is so toxic about so many members behind the scenes that it is so disheartening, I doubt that she even likes this community judging by what she's said. Krysyy can't even remember to turn up to her own events half the time, and when I stall/do broadcasts for her, she shows no gratitude. Staff aren't meant to lurk and only do staffy stuff, they're meant to be public and someone to look up to however where on earth is she? Probably telling modchat about her new love endeavours.

    Where was she when I ask for help with ban appeals e.t.c? Where was she when (nameless new staff) makes a mistake and asks you for help.

    What is her role on the server other than failing to update the calendar and occasionally hosting a mediocre and delayed event every week.


    The lack of ambition on this server is astounding.




    They are so out of touch from the community that they think that they just want to chuck candy at each other rather than having a big event such as the one coming up, apparently it's going to set the bar too high. Are we just running EMC for the supporter money?


    No problems with your personality, bud, because I don't actually think I've ever spoken to you.

    I don't have much to say about him because I think I've seen him once in the last half a year. And that was when he made 250 people wait around for an hour while he chose his promo lore at PPP. Maybe just let him work on PaperMC rather than EMC since his heart definitely seems to love that one more.


    1.14?
    Yeah guys it's really not happening., poor chickeneer could ever update us to 1.14 alone. I wouldn't say the blame lies with any of the other devs (I know there are real life issues with some which is totally excusable) but rather in the dev recruitment process.

    Krysyy doesn't have anything nice to say about willies, and I would think that's why he's not dev despite him putting in so much effort. (I reworded this, please don't kill me chicken)

    Honestly I think they should just stay at 1.12 and work on their unique features since they have fallen well behind in the race. Because of all our 'custom code'? No, almost every server has custom code so that's an awful excuse, although it doesn't help when the entire code is held together by paperclips and a school's gluestick.

    Overall:
    I don't think that EMC will be able to fix their faults anytime soon, the only 2 suitable admins (you know who they are) have already jumped ship and we're almost fully submerged. I hope everyone reading this will take a moment to think whether they really see a future in EMC, and have a good thought about it. I don't think they'll delete this thread so I'll try answer any questions honestly :) Yes I was demoted, no I have no idea why.

    Looking forward to reading your reply Krysyy, please don't try some half-hearted response. You know that I've got a lot more to say =D

    EMC is in such a bad state, and it's the admin's fault.

    This is my final message, goodbye.

  10. I can say I have had the same problems for a while.

    I, of course, have been a part of the build team for quite a while. I got kicked out/left when stuff just didn't work anymore.

    I am not here to re-discuss everything that led up to my leaving, but at least a large part of it is that Kryssy and I just really couldn't get along:
    I, indeed socially incorrectly, told her to stop meddling in the design process, because I found her to be a terrible builder who shouldn’t run that kind of stuff.
    She accused me of being a bad team member: "It had reached the point where other members did not want to build where you had access because you would insult/remove their build." Maybe that was fair, but, when I asked, all team members said that they appreciated me saying "I dislike the look of that," because it made them feel I was honest and caring about the end project. A certain build team member at the time confidentially said to me that Kryssy was lying to me about why I was demoted, that I shouldn't listen to anything she had to say about my way of working, that it was "maybe the most bullsh!t from her in one evening jet"

    I think that is enough information about that.

    I, together with some other staff members, have been in a discord call for about an hour "looking for another EMC, but without Kryssy." We also discussed setting up our own server.

    There indeed are a lot of problems with the way EMC is currently run. I could also go into why it is wrong the rules are setup as thy currently are, (because they currently don't communicate across borders: they only work if you already agree with the staff team about what isn't allowed. I have been writing a post about it, but none were really clear.) Or the problems with how they are moderated, (which is, for example, what got our good friend Finsh to leave.) Jet none of that would be exceptionally helpful.

    I think that kind of is the point. Probably all of us who have been on the server long enough to notice it know that there is a significant problem with how EMC is currently run. Jet, I don't think any have anything else to say than "Yeah, *points at thing* this is broken."

    There is a lot that could change for the better. How those can change without deliberately causing public drama is the question. Because, yes, that is illegal by the rules.

  12. Oooh boy I don't know how to put this cause I'm legit shaking from so many emotions.

    All I'll say is I'm with burki on this. Those that saw I'm leaving? This is why. This is the very reason. Along with the fact toxic members are just allowed to roam, despite multiple reports.

    I could say so much, but right now all I can say is "Yes. This needed to be said, this needed to be seen." what I've seen here just drives the nail home.
    This isn't the EMC I thought I was joining 1002 days ago.
    I've been rooting for a new CM for months now. So. I'm jumping ship. I'm sure people know all the things I could say if I was up to it.

    Peace, to those I'm leaving behind. This isn't against you.

  18. This is beautiful.

    Clearly myself and others have bottled up many emotions and opinions for a while and I thank Burki for his braveness is releasing this insanely cutthroat thread.

    For the most part, EMC's staffing team is a total circus (MOST staff members are good, I'm talking about mostly 1 or 2 people). Run by a CM who speaks toxicity about others and someone who will shut you down if you do not agree with her.

    Staff are not even safe. Krsysy or however you spell her name is a dictator. You must follow staff behavior in EMC and out of EMC. Don't do this, don't do that, DON'T SAY THIS. God forbid you said that on a private snapchat!
    In the end that person will get demoted, most likely without a descriptive reason from staff and will be forced to write a goodbye thread:
    "Sorry I grew up and I have real life to do, that's why I'm not staff anymore"

    (Of course this may not be a real reason or have even happened, but I would not be surprised)

    I also wholeheartedly hate the "ass-kissing" of staff members. People treat them like celebrities, they'll like every comment they post, try for years just to get a follow back and when someone doesn't agree with their king, they lash out at them.

    Even in suggestion posts, people will literally attack the OP and will be told to stop by others because it is off topic and rude. Then staff comes and says "Hey guys lets focus our attention elsewhere"
    "OH OKAY I'M SO SORRY, HERE LET ME LIKE YOUR POST AND ALL YOUR STATUSES!"

    Staff are people, not celebrities. This is also a minecraft server, stop being so pathetic.

    For a CM who spreads lies and toxicity about people I care about and for someone who will demote you for not agreeing with her, I believe that we need a change. Place a new CM in power.

    Ban me if you wish, hate me if you wish, but it just shows you are incapable of handling criticism so you must deal with it by banning all those who oppose.
    Sounds a lot like a certain authoritarian state...

  20. Good morning.

    I'm not going to lie. I am guilty of some of the things mentioned, if not all. However, they are in very small moderation and not to the degree that this post has presented. I know that for some of you, what I have to say isn't going to matter, but for those willing to read and listen, I thank you in advance.

    I'm human: plain and simple. I make mistakes, I have opinions, I have a life, and I have feelings. When I demoted Burki yesterday (reason confidential unless they approve me actually revealing that), they responded with a rant post to my private messages. I was at lunch trying to eat my first real food in days (wisdom teeth removal) and I stopped eating and just paid the bill and left. No, this is not a pity plea. It is honest truth. I didn't respond because the accusations and wording was beyond hurtful and I was at a loss of words. The message, as this one, blamed me fully for EMC's problems. I mean, yes I am the one in charge of leading the discussion on a good amount of decisions, but to say that I'm the one fully responsible for your opinion of EMC today is unfair to me and really hurt my feelings as a person. So no, I didn't respond immediately because I'm human and I was hurt that you would say those things.

    Now, as the person in charge on the non-dev side of things, I do have to step up to the plate and address the conversation. To those worried about me making comments about you to the staff, please know that it is a VERY small portion of players that I discuss things confidentially with my staff about, and only when pertinent. I'm not going around and saying hurtful things about players for the fun of it. If a staff member and I are discussing why a certain player is not on the Build Team, Staff Team, etc it is done so with honesty and is intended to be confidential for that matter. It's the same as if you were discussing recommending someone for a raise at a real life job and the supervisor were to say 'yeah, but they have a problem with punctuality'. In EMC, the problems tend to be more drama or trust related, so that ends up being the topic of discussion. This has always been this way and is not limited to me alone.

    As for discussing my personal love drama, yeah I do. Staff always discusses a variety of things and we're a sort of family behind the scenes. We cheer each other through exams, new jobs, pregnancy announcements, new pets, etc. We even get into debates about beans on toast. Modchat really is a scary place at times, but to crucify me for doing what we all do, is a little harsh. We have lives and we share those lives. I just share more because I talk more.

    On the event hosting comment, I will disagree. I have only missed an event a handful of times. When I get home from my real-life job, I'm exhausted. Sometimes I lay down and I pass out completely. I mean, a tornado could come through and I'd be out cold. So yes, I have overslept and missed an event and I have had other staff run broadcasts. I have usually said thank you though, so if I missed doing so, I do apologize.

    Where am I? I'm here, but I'm busy. Still more visible than some, but I could be more visible definitely. I'm hosting events that other staff aren't thinking to host. I'm discussing with staff changes we can make to better the server. Senior staff and I are handling major issues with duplication glitches that the dev team dropped everything to help fix. We're planning for the future events and everything we can do to keep things off the plates of the devs. So when I say we need smaller events, I'm saying more player interaction ones that are more frequent instead of sacrificing that for giant command-block driven builds. I've said before that complexity is part of EMC's problem and I fully stand behind that statement now.

    So if you've read this far, thank you.

    For those that are driven by whatever bad experience you've had with me in the past, I know I can't change your perception of me. I've tried and failed many times. Quite a few of the names in here I recognize from issues gone wrong or disagreements of the past. I can only defend myself as a human being and ask that instead of fueling this drama that is not healthy on EMC, that you instead let go of the past and work with us to move forward. Reading what's in discord right now, those players are excited about this. They are pulling out popcorn and actually excited to see what hurtful thing may be said next. That's not the EMC Community I know and love. There are players that want me gone, I get it. Do you really think that I'm the problem or am I just the punching bag for a long list of grievances you have in which you were denied something, had to face the truth, or didn't have someone just trust you outright? Or are you just upset that we aren't 1.14? Because I have nothing to do with that last one, so I'll let Aikar/chicken touch on that.

    TLDR; You want change? That's great, but it's gonna take more than just changing staff out to make something happen. Let's start by not celebrating and relishing bias dramatic outbursts.
