The lastest CT staffer added, had 11.5 hours in the CT and OVER 47 hours in the MA!


I do believe, Slash was the "latest CT Staffer" you are referring too in this post......am I wrong????  This is definitely tossing him into your ranting and raving.


And yeah, I did have fun tonight...when I found the CT having problems, I went and flew with a bunch of folks that I have come to enjoy *playing* this game with in the MA.  It's unfortunate you cannot, and have to let everyone know about it

That was in reference to the CT staff's selection not the CT staffer himself.  I'm sorry that you're not educated enough to understand this, but I have enough on my plate already.

My advice to you is to ignore it then.  Didn't ask for you opinion in the first place.  What you see as ranting and raving I only see as the facts.

I must agree, CT staffers need to put the CT first before flying in any other arena.

I expect to see the "staffer of the Week" in the CT offten making sure problems are.

During non-squd times I will even do what I can to help new guys.

Let's see what the dysfunctional ADD suffering CT community has come with in the way of votes thus far.

We have 20 posts most of which are nanny nanny boo boo posts.

We have 4 votes for changing the membership of the CT Staff.

Does anyone else care to Vote?

Guess I'll throw in my bit.

I don't think anyone is happy that the CT has been down for....what....nearly a day?  Looking at my calendar, though, I note that this is the heart of summer vacation time.  And I think back over the past year, or two years, and it seems to me that this is a very rare event.  In fact, I can't think of another time it's happened, and I keep reasonably close watch on the CT.

What I do notice is that a number of old CT staffers are gone, and it seems to me that one of the reasons they are gone probably is that they got tired of people whining about the setups and other aspects of being a CT manager (or CM, or poohbah or whatever the official title may be).  I don't plan to do that here.  Dung happens, but it doesn't happen often in the CT, and I'm pretty happy about that.

If making Bug a CM will cut down on the complaining, then I'm all for it.  But I'm just a bit surprised at all the noise over one night's disruption.

So that's my vote.

I guess the 20 hours reflected my inability to manage the CT - or maybe seeing how it was a holiday for me, taking my family out for a nice day is too much for you guys?  Heaven forbid I have a life outside the CT.  

I also didn't see a SINGLE email in my account in the past 20 hours.  Since that takes 30 seconds to send the CT staff an email (you know, email mister_fork@hitechcreations.com or ctstaff@hitechreations.com),  guess it was too much work for the lot of you to send us an email.

Or wait, cause none of us fly in the arena, how would we even know? We're all inept limpdiks anyway.  That's right, none of us fly in the arena, do we storch?

No reflection on you Fork.  I think you are well liked and respected.  Last week you offered up some very sound suggestions for positive change in the arena.  The last 24 hour's occurance has merely underscored the need to implement those ideas, sooner rather than later.  The arena is still down.

Ok, I'll jump in on this and open myself to all of the usual insults that follow a post.

I vote to maintain the structure as is-for now. Fork and others have some good ideas that should be refined to what the community wants-then implemented. I think the current staff does the best they can with what they have at their disposal

Hawk said it best, when he said that when somebody asks for input-they basically don't get it. All they get for their effort is a bunch of whines and a load of crap-I'm not going to quote here but just review the posts.

The mentality of: I want what I want-and I want it RIGHT NOW-has got to go away. for us it is a game that we pay money to play, therefore we feel that we have a right to demand certain things to enhance our enjoyment and playability-not going to happen (at least right away). To HTC it is a passion but most importantly a business. So the way I see it-most of HTC's bread and butter comes from the vast MAJORITY of players that fly in the MA. That arena and those players will get priority, everything else will come in at a lower priority (hopefully CT is second on that list).

In case you've forgotten-we are still in a transition phase here. The CT needs a lot of "stuff", it will come, and be the CT we were used to and hopefully even better than it was in AH1. In AH1 I absolutly despised the MA, but now that is the arena that is getting "most" of the attention-so I am spending some time in there and having quite a bit of fun, but I still consider myself a dedicated CT'er.

Finally, there have been many good and productive ideas thrown out there by many people. For those with the time, desire, and responsibility-compile those ideas (current CT staff-hint, hint) and make a working document-a mission statement of what the CT will become and who will play what roles to make the CT better than it ever was.

Oh Yeah, Bug, (just my opinion-take it for what it's worth) you don't get my vote. You have some good ideas, you seem to be passionate for what you believe, and you appear to have the best intentions for the common good of the CT. But in reading your posts I don't feel that you have the "diplomacy" needed to fill a CT Staff position.

There you go, flame away  :aok
