I have to agree with republic, maybe we should have a few CM's that are dedicated AVA players?? just a thought....

Implying that the ones that are on the staff arent dedicated to the AvA correct? Cute.

TK, you really need to lay off the staff.  The staff are volunteers who have lives of their own outside of this game.  They have to deal with the backbiting and badmouthing of ungreatful ppl in this community and yet they still do this job for nothing but the community.  If you don't like it, don't play.  Or maybe you think HTC will pay somebody so that this stuff gets fixed when you think it should, since you pay your 15 dollars a month??

No I dont. I know they are volunteers, but they have a job to do in this game to. There are ten or more AvA staff members. We shouldnt have to wait seven fricking hours for one of them to fix it. You are new to the AvA so Ill let you on a little hint. Theis happens EVERY time theres an update or new tour. What do you think would happen if the MAs were unflyable for seven hours? I think HTC needs to get a more people on the staff that arent in the central times zone, maybe a brit or two.

You seem to have plenty of time, timezone not a factor whatsoever. If you didn't have a boner against the current staff and could be trusted with the keys I bet you'd be a great selection. If that's your goal, you're shooting yourself in the foot wonderfully. Apparently base capture skill requires sacrificing one's social skills and diplomacy.

I tryed asking to be a staff memeber a few months ago. Seems the staff is like a country club. You have to be a friend of one to get in. Seems they vote and if one doesnt like you you dont get in. I could be trusted, but I really dont want to be one because that would mean socializing with people I dont like. Thats why I quit the CM team the last time. I want the current staff members to do a better job at kepping the AvA playable. I really dont think thats a big thing to ask I mean that IS what theyre here for.

As always you color yourself as the victim and lie about the Staff.

Some misconceptions here, perhaps.

First, we receive no advance notice of updates.  Yesterday's caught us by surprise, as all updates do.  HTC typically implements updates during the middle of the working day, which makes perfect sense.  However, with the possible exception of Panzzer of Finland, the implementation also occurs in the middle of our working days.  Unless we simply stop working in the middle of the day - as I did today, for example - we can't fix things until the evening.

Second, much as we enjoy our AH virtual companions, we also enjoy our families.  This means that most of us won't be able to sit down and take half an hour to set things right in AvA until sometime in the evening.

Third, there are six of us:  Fork, Soda, Slash, Duke, Panzzer and me.  Not ten or more.  Not that having ten or more would make much of a difference; there is going to be lag time between discovery of a problem and being able to set aside some time to fix it.

Fourth, can we be real here?  People couldn't log into AvA for Seven Whole Hours.  Life as we know it did not end.

Finally - and this is important - this is not our job.  This is our hobby.  We adjust settings, instead of flying and fighting, not because we relish the colossal egomaniacal power trip of being an AvA staffer, but because we like the AvA and we want to help it live long and prosper.  Fork and Soda, in particular, have gone way beyond reasonable expectations over the past few months in order to make your gaming experience more enjoyable.  So please pardon us if sometimes we are irritated to hear accusations that we are lazy, biased snobs.  It got really old a long time ago.

LMAO they took me out of the AvA allied forum. Things are going to get good know.


Oh and before shlash comes in and trys to be a smarty ass.


"Any member of this forum who violates the BBS Rules in here, the AvA General forum, or in the AvA arena will be subject to removal from this forum. If you have and concerns please email Skuzzy."


Where did I break a rule? I guess not kissing the staff members ass' is breaking a rule not huh. If you guys think I was spying before you are in for a treat.

The interruptions will continue each time a new terrain is initialized, so there's a choice, live with the interruptions and play on nice new, or updated terrains... or do without. Everybody knows how that one will be answered. :aok
Easy in-game again.

Both sides have valid points.  I just assumed Skuzzy and company let the staff know when updates were coming.  Seems like they'd want their volunteer staff (eg. free employees) to know what is going on.
