Gaddy wasn't a choice?

I don't know about WORST staff member. You had a lot of failures though...people who used the fact that they became staff to just sit around and police the petty arguments that actually, never needed to be sorted out really. People who didn't bother to work to make the game a better and more exciting place. I'll always think that you missed out on a lot by not giving me a chance at being staff, as despite my nerdiness (and trolling) I can be quite creative. As an example of this, I have lately been mapping for Unreal Tournament (it's still going strong after 12 years), and most of what I make is used in international cup competitions and tournaments.

Anyway, there's a lot of people who I would file under "no point in being staff", and I can hardly remember the names, so I won't try. For the record though, I voted Aidon, for old times' sake <3

[Numb]

There were a-lot of people like yourself Raylen who should have been given a chance or put back on the staff team.

(Yavimaya, Stigmata, You)


Gaddy is a pretty awesome dude.

I realize I should have gotten some kind of survey going to see who people generally disliked.

Why's Abstract not on the list?

I will withhold my vote for the time being. I think everyone else has been a pretty good staffer, with the exception of Aidon.

[tehbirr]

lol i think if ur gonna do this poll, u should put the a list of all the bad staff, not 1-2 bad staff on a list full of great and awesome staff

[Stig]

Topics like this really aren't helpful, you know.

[Pureza]

Funny how the person that's been voted the worst to this point, is the one that's done the most for the multi server in the last year. /eyes

[Gaddy]

Stadius.
Ruined Nightmist for me in so many ways. Worst sysops of all time.


Also, I think there were some staff who cheated.
Like---legit put items in-game for their friends, boosted exp, and that sort of thing. Those are the worst staff members ever for Nightmist as a game.
Pandilex may have dropped random questies and done stuff just to mess with people, but I am pretty sure he did it evenly and fairly, rather than cheating or helping friends.

Well I know Jared once teleported our druid back into Tirantek somewhere after he got her killed by a Drow Rogue. And of course there was the nice one about how Aeryn macro'd to teleport his staff character to every boss square ingame to save time on checking them.

Oh and I also vote Crane, for banning me for about 2 minutes. I can't quite remember how it worked, but he created some lame lvl-6-only mosh, and I /reset a high-level thief to go and assassinate everyone. I would have gotten away with it too...luckily it was 23:58 so the ban wore off a minute later

BTW, just out of curiosity - I'm not generally seeing many people playing on Current Players. Is there any real point in having staff members - I think there's like 4 or 5 at the moment - is that really necessary?

Anyway, GL and HF all

[Autek]

Only one that actually does anything to my knowledge is Stig. Why the ones who don't do anything still have their character I don't know.

[Sausage]

Yeah... The one person who actually deserves to be on the list...

[Sublime]

Why not just do another overhaul? Most of the current staff obviously don't do anything, so change it up and hire some new people. I'm not sure how welcome my services would be, but I certainly think I can help Stig in any way I'm able. It would be cool to get a chance to help staff a server that doesn't have a player base consisting of just Pandilex, Piggy, Prototype and Myself. We obviously didn't get much opportunity there, lol.




On Topic - Aidon was horrible, lol.

The 2 minutes was deliberate, since it wasn't something that deserved an outright day-ban but I wanted to make a point that resetting a crit in order to use equipment that you shouldn't currently be using wasn't acceptable. Someone else did it with a Mage once in order to use Blast at level 10 or something.

All staff are hated at some point in their careers, I've learnt; it's impossible to be perfect.

POST SCRIPTUM: I null-voted.

rofl wow what happened to like half the posts made here earlier this week?

[Numb]

lol, awesome.

[Isolated]

Worst goes to aidon.


I miss Officer Crane.

[Zelimos]

What about Isyng? Never answered my pages

[Vodka]

Wtf is Laka? Never saw that name before, I don't think....

[Eternyte]

Laka is Laca. Was a staffer on the orignal Nightmist pre-reset at end of 2000-begining of 2001. Member of Legion of the Night clan, and also known as 'Melior the unbannable"

[Crane]

Now I know where Mt. Melior came from... and I boosted his ego by actually putting it in-game in 2005. Curses!

[Prophet]

Nobody remember Cyric banning people for a like a week for swearing xD

Obviously, those who cheated are the worst kind as they aren't just misguided or useless but calculated ways in which to benefit themselves.

[Sandy]

WTF!!! Why is Stig on there!?
Stupid ppl.
I voted Null.

[Prototype]

Knowing Numb, he really messed up at his staff choices. We all know who has the x factor at being the gayest staff ever.
