I personally believe that you, primarily through your attitude towards and treatment of players, hold almost as much responsibility as Torque for the immense damage that's been done to RoR's community and reputation.

Your call for 'peace' comes across as completely disingenuous, as does your rapid and rather drastic change in tone and approach upon Aza's recent return.

And I'd like to point out that I never once, to my knowledge, received any warnings or sanctions on my account while active on the server; my deleting my chars and stopping playing (and once again after a brief return) was in large part due to the two of you, even though I was never negatively affected personally. It seemed quite clear to me (and I imagine to many others—it wasn't that subtle) a long time ago that staff-community relations could only deteriorate irreparably if two such arrogant, closed and inflexible individuals (at least in their roles in this project) were at the forefront.
My entire job is to damage the people that shouldn't be here. I'm expected to go through that. 99% of the time I have absolutely no regrets about the moderation and bans that I've handed out, or the manner that I've gone through them. It is exceedingly rare that I need to lift a ban appeal due to the process that my GM's follow and the evidence we collect. Of the 202,000-ish accounts active, we have 1493 GM reports open. Some of them duplicates or notes. That's not a bad margin.

If you don't like playing in a moderated space with active GM's, I can totally understand your position.

Since Aza came back and wanted to lift a bunch of bans over staff disrespect or general dissent, I was cool with that. We relaxed a bit after some discussions in lead, at least on the forums. I don't think things have gotten particularly better, and we've had to slap a few people since then, but it hasn't particularly gotten worse either.

The Q&A has been a big shift into "worse" territory. Now we have to deal with hilarious drama all over again, and the stamping of feet and demanding of heads, that we as a team had moved on from.

That was a lot of drama packed into 90 minutes. I am conflicted as this should not have been aired this way but I understood why Aza did this when wargrimnir said in chat that they were dealing with this. Considering that nothing changed and people kept leaving in the last year I can just assume that there is some kind of "office politics" in place here and Aza had no other way but to do it this way. And yeah, all that bullying evidence is just insane. I really doubt no one other than Aza knew about this....

I just wish all of this went a different (if it was possible of course which at this point I doubt), more mature way from both sides without so much public drama.

We could at least all sleep on this and hope cooler heads will prevail.

No hope whatsoever.

Leave Chapter 22 PQs out of this!

Which feels like in your opinion thats 99% of the community ;) Gotta admit you do that job flawlessly and server population sinks at impressive rate.

I had only positive interactions with Wargrimnir and never saw him acting unreasonably. He has all my respect.

Have to work in 5 hours so good night all.

I'm not sure what's peaceful about that. Really sad.
Do you know why Azarael doesn't have a dev tag on the forum any more?

The data would suggest the opposite extreme. The vast majority of players on the server are untouched. If you want to cause problems, I'm happy to be the end result.

Torque had nothing to do with the shenanigans today, and probably all for the best.
