Title: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: *DAMN Mauti on January 09, 2005, 12:42:30 am Hi,
season X isn't that far away and we need some additions for our admin team. We are looking right now for GameRanger admins and forum admins: GR admins give help in GameRanger and it is required that you are very often online in GameRanger. As Forum admin needs quite good social and writing skills, and should check the forum more than twice daily. It's a tough job that requires a lot of dedication, although it can be sometimes very ungrateful and it's not uncommon that you get right into the crossfire, it also very probably that you have less time for playing once you are an admin. I don't want to make this job unattractive with this paragraph however you should know what do you have to expect and what we expect from you ;-) So if you say yes, we expect that you gonna stay with us a complete season, and don't drop out like a dead soldier midseason. So if you nevertheless want to help out and say let's do this for the community and keep on improving write down your name. I gonna take a look at it and gonna send you a private message within 48hours. Have a nice day, Mauti Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: BTs_GhostSniper on January 09, 2005, 02:03:22 am Well, since Harvey is a GameRanger admin, is there anything stopping us from having two admins in the same clan if one is a GR Admin and the other is a forum admin? I was offered the job of BL Admin several seasons back, when I was in |GM|, but I gave it to Harvey because he wanted the job too. So if there is no problem with having two different types of BL Admins from the same clan, then I would volunteer to be a Forum admin. Hell, I'm on the forum pretty much all day at work and all night at home anyways.
Peace. -GhostSniper Out.[/size] P.S. I think I would make a great admin because I already know how to color all of my posts ;) Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: Croosch on January 09, 2005, 04:32:28 am I'm extremely active on Gameranger and I wouldn't mind being a GR Admin. I feel up to the challenge... if you need/want a little more info. just give me a pm on GR or email me. gr_krush@yahoo.com
Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: DarK. on January 09, 2005, 06:04:42 am I am active on GR and could help out in that manner if needed. I am normally in the Bar and Grill so that anyone can find me. I am on as often as I can when not in school. My email is dark@mod.macgun.com
Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: spike on January 09, 2005, 06:37:11 am I'm not so active on GR anymore, but I do check the forums more than twice a day, so I would volunteer to be a forum admin. My email is sppike@hotmail.com

Post by: Typhy on January 10, 2005, 02:07:39 am The thing I'd like to see is an admin with some experience. I'm sick and tired of having a ton of newbies as the *DBL admin team.
The more things people have seen, the more informed they can be in their decisions. Also, get someone whose willing to stand up for what they believe, not someone whose going to back into pressure to "follow the admin line". GhostSniper, I wub ya, I think you'd make a fine BL admin, but you know as well as I do that it'll never happen with Mauti, Flies and Civic running the BL. I mean, let's face it, 3 people who can best be decribed with a 4 letter word ( 5 if it's plural ) that rhymes with azzi. Out of the people who've thrown their names in so far, I think only Spike comes anywhere near having what it takes. He's smart, he's got a decent amount of experience, and I'd trust him to stand up for what is right. Remember, though, guys. Once you sign on as an admin, you must release any logical thoughts from your mind, because they'll never be used during your job as an admin. Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: Macuber on January 10, 2005, 04:33:09 am GhostSniper I would like to see you as a Admin. Speaking from one Veteran to another.
Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: BTs_GhostSniper on January 10, 2005, 04:38:22 am GhostSniper I would like to see you as a Admin. Thanks for the vote of confidence, Macuber. Just out of curiosity, I noticed your avatar is the Vietnam Service Medal (well, the ribbon for the medal, anyhow). Are you a Vietnam Vet?[/size] Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers?

Funny how things change once your on the other side of the fence suddenly. But I really apprecate it consiering you know only well what its like being an admin. :( Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: BTs_Lee.Harvey on January 10, 2005, 10:35:45 am Well To answer your Question GS about there being 2 admins from the same clan.... I stepped Down from my admin position at the end of the Turnies due to lack of time right now. So there would not be an issue of 2 BTs admins if you were to become one. I also think the GS would be a good Forum Admin b/c he is on the forum 75% of the day.. I have also made a few other sugestions for admins b4 i left the admin team...
To My former Admin teams mates.. Its been fun.. Thx guys....I'm working on opeing a new club right now.. So now I have even less time then when I anounced my resignation from the team... Hope to see you guys in at least a few CB's next season if I have time. Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: *DAMN Mauti on January 10, 2005, 12:00:51 pm Typhy if you don't have anything to add to this topic, let it be. Your unconstructive energy won't be tolerated anymore here. See this as may your last warning. Further it was you that misused his power as admin, changed clanstatus, reactivated clans without the knowledge of the other admins, you just did it because you thought it is your opinion and so it must be the right one. That and the unwillingness to work as team was the reason you got kicked as admin.
@ GhostSniper I'm aware that he is very often online, which would be great for being him a BL forum admin, however in his past he showed more than once what he thinks about europeans, which may be a big problem if it comes to teamwork. Well each application will get an answer soon. Bye, Mauti Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: [a] kitkat on January 10, 2005, 12:24:32 pm TWIMC,
I am a 31 yr old Premium GR, GhR, RvS, and AS player residing in San Francisco USA. Everyone pretty much knows me, I know pretty much everyone. I was a war admin with *AGT* for over a year and I am currently with Po)|. I already know a few damn* admins and a few GR admins*. I have been playing a very long time and know the community very well. I consider myself fair and tolerant to other people's opinions. I feel that I get along with a wide range of people and age groups. I have good communication skills and I can be decisive when needed. I am not a frequent poster on Damn* forums. However, I am a frequent surfer of the forums. As far as Game Ranger goes, I am on 'all the time' as a host or player or chat. I would be interested in either as Damn* admin or GR admin. I am leaning towards Game Ranger admin as I spend much more time there. I feel it is my resposibility to give something back.

Post by: BTs_GhostSniper on January 10, 2005, 03:23:40 pm @ GhostSniper I'm aware that he is very often online, which would be great for being him a BL forum admin, however in his past he showed more than once what he thinks about europeans, which may be a big problem if it comes to teamwork. Well each application will get an answer soon. Mauti, if you think I really have a problem with Europeans, then you don't know me at all. Hell, I MARRIED A EUROPEAN! It isn't Europeans that I dislike, it is the Socialist Governments that are now so prevalent in Europe that bother me. I just don't see eye to eye with governments like that. I have nothing against any group of people in Europe, not even the French. I've spent a lot of time in Europe, especially Germany (when it was West Germany), Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Switzerland. My parents are missionaries in Belgium right now turning a 500-year-old castle into a Christian College. So, if it's the Europeans you think I dislike, you are wrong. Sure, I don't like some of the anti-American attitudes I see from Europeans, but I love all people. And remember, I sleep with an Austrian every night. ;) P.S. Teamwork is something you would never have a problem with me....I was a U.S. Army Ranger who has worked with the Special Forces and anti-Terrorist Groups of most of the nations in Europe, and around the world. And that's REAL LIFE, not some game. Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: *DAMN Mauti on January 10, 2005, 03:36:34 pm It seems I formulated it wrong, so sorry about that, I don't wanted to say that you dislike europeans in general, I wanted to refer to some of your posts and reactions in the issue between Typhy and Civic not that long ago and I think that this will be a problem, next to some others.
However if I come back soon enough from university tonight everyone should get my answer and thoughts per pm or email, you of course as well. Bye, Mauti Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: spike on January 10, 2005, 03:42:06 pm And remember, I sleep with an Austrian every night. Hey same here! I mean...yeah...nevermind. If you want european experience, I spent nine months studying in Italy my junior year of high school. Being 19 and in a pretty easy college means I can do pretty much what I want with my time, which would allow me to check the forums regularly. I've been on GR for three or so years, and I've been reading the forums for most of that time. I started out playing RS:UO, played a little GhR, got RvS when it came out, and now I play primarily CoD and AS. I would like to be an admin, and would take the responsbility seriously. But hey, if someone else gets picked, I'll just continue concentrating on whoring myself up in the GG. ;) Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: *DAMN Mauti on January 10, 2005, 03:54:56 pm Spike lol you don't have to be european to be an admin: Tigah, Harv, Typhy, Hazard, Inf, KoP, Voodoo,... weren't from europe. My comment was only towards GS.
::bussi:: Bye, Mauti Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: SanitarySal on January 10, 2005, 04:57:55 pm Add me to the list of those who would like to be considered as a forum admin. Anyone who knows me from AA knows that I can be immensely patient and tolerant. I am a very pro-European American, which can come in handy to counterbalance the overzealous psuedo-patriotic American rhetoric that seems to sprut from American based shooters.
Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: BTs_Mysterio on January 10, 2005, 07:54:23 pm To mauti: what typhy said was constructive he gave direction on what it would take to be a admin. BTW, you list on non-European people seems to consist of many admins no longer on the team... odd indeed.
-------------- I would throw my name into the hat, but seeing as admins are selected via the preference of mauti, not experience or ability to make constructive ideas/opinions. I would support GS becoming a admin but seeing as mauti seems to hold this unjustifiable ...and apparently indescribable by even him... bias against him I would have to go with spike... I guess he has the most experience of anyone on the list of possibilities. ...you know this sort of looks like they are begging for admins... Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: BFG on January 10, 2005, 08:05:37 pm Quote The thing I'd like to see is an admin with some experience. I'm sick and tired of having a ton of newbies as the *DBL admin team. Experience with what? Experience of life, of playing Raven Shield and Ghost Recon etc? Experience in dealing with Leagues and kids who want to do nothing but complain and seek too make themselves look better than others? Or was this mearly a thinly veiled insult towards a member of the Admins? Quote Remember, though, guys. Once you sign on as an admin, you must release any logical thoughts from your mind, because they'll never be used during your job as an admin. Just like you managed to do i guess? BTW Mysterio yes there are currently more European Amins since both Aramarth and Harvey have both decided that their priorities lie elesewhere. Funny you also fail to pick up the fact that Tigah is not European. Aramarth has also not yet left. But then again those are small points if your just looking for away to attack people.

And again you through random acusations without any shred of information about the situation regarding peoples ideas/opinions let alone mauti's 'preference' Quote ...you know this sort of looks like they are begging for admins... You know this sort of looks really like youve got nothing better to do with your time than try and dig holes at other people because youve got nothing better to do with your time.

Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: BTs_Mysterio on January 10, 2005, 08:59:24 pm I just had a conversation with BFG on GR. Despite the fact he loves personal attacks I did gather some more important points. He openly invited me to post this on the forums, but chat logs are so boring.
I asked him why he wouldn't pick GS as a admin, but of course he was hard pressed to find any words. At first he blamed him for crimes committed by crypt, later admitting his mistake. After a long winded attempted to explain why he couldn't explain, it came down to him admitting the reasons he came up with were unfit for the public posting or in actuality valid against his credentials. I thank BFG for his time, and invited him to be more polite next time. Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers?

But let me address the parts of that post first. I simply stated that you were a representation of all thing wrong in this community. Newbies have no place as admins, especially ones who cower to the admin section. Sorry tigah, I don't believe I've ever pmed you, and you might want to reword that, admins are there to answer questions (insults should be the sole word). Two useless admins yes, one who won't answer real questions, and one who is yet to make a constructive post. Constructiveness of posts were fine until a admin posted pure BS and got the same in return. So yes do say more... thin line? ...what a threat... Welcome to the generation of the mafia admin. Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: *DAMN Mauti on January 10, 2005, 10:48:41 pm Alright a reply to every application was sent except to Acri, which will be done a bit later.

I think that everyone needs to realize that this whole BL is for people to have fun and play games, Myst who cares if someone is a dictator over it ( I in no way think Mauti or the admins are Dictators) but even if they are Myst what is the point of flaming agianst people like tigah or BFG who dont blatantly attack you personally? There is no point for harsh text and mean words to be thrown around in here. I think that you should think before you type, lets not start a flame war here Myst and Typhy. Lets put some thought into what we say and think, "will this type better the world of the DBL?" And if it does in your opinion, go ahead POST AWAY! I encourage you to, but sadly what I just read has nothing to do with helping the DBL, in fact it is a major hinderence for people to spend their time flaming back in forth.
All-in-all- (To ALL you flamers out there) think before you type. And dont spart flame wars. Because I have a sniper rifle. ::sniper:: Flaming = ::nade:: Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: BTs_Mysterio on January 10, 2005, 10:55:35 pm Trying to secure the status change?
Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: DarK. on January 10, 2005, 11:02:21 pm Actually myst I posted that after I found out that I wasnt chosen for an Admin spot, and even if I was please think about what you just typed, it might have started another needles flame war from something you could have kept to yourself.
Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: BTs_Mysterio on January 10, 2005, 11:06:16 pm Why keep that to myself when you didn't spare any false BS or make mauti the good guy stuff from your post? I wouldn't bet you were rejected, probably mauti said "We didn't feel you are ready quite yet, though we do think you could make a great admin in the future if you become more involved in the battle league in seasons to come."
Btw, I didn't start the flame, BFG made the first personal comments. Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: BFG on January 11, 2005, 12:37:01 am Ok a final post on this:
Firstly many many appologies to you Mysterio. I make the supid mistake of often coming on to Gameranger so that i may play games and chat with the many great guys i know around the world. I had (stupidly) forgotten that actually my primery role on Gameranger was to sit watching you PM me whenever over any issue that came to mind regarding the BL and how its all so shocking etc etc. Now i realise the error of my way was to believe that actually this was time that i spend playing, not time listening to little kids whine at me. Now i realise that actually as a BL forum Admin when im on Gameranger i must be available to answer all and any questions that you may ask me, and i must answer them when and how you want straight away, dropping all else i might be doing at the time. So i appologies. Im sure it wont happen again. Just for the record please note there is a difference between BL forum and GR Admin. Hence the invite to post on the forum... Thought most folk understood the difference alas. Back to business. I make a extreamly concerted effort to be as cordial and straight up with people as i can as much of the time. But unfortunatly there are times when i just cannot stand being treated like a door mat by some people any more. Unfortunatly tonight was one of those nights. So firstly appologies to Mailman for my outbirst via shade - bad timing but it does get annoying being asked the same thing repeadedly again and again and again when the answer is allways the same. Quote I just had a conversation with BFG on GR. Despite the fact he loves personal attacks I did gather some more important points. He openly invited me to post this on the forums, but chat logs are so boring. But please please do feel free to highlight my shocking record with a love of Personal attacks. I forgot i cannot ever question someones attitude towards a matter but must sit back while they sling bullshit at me with a smile on my face. Quote I asked him why he wouldn't pick GS as a admin, but of course he was hard pressed to find any words. At first he blamed him for crimes committed by crypt, later admitting his mistake. After a long winded attempted to explain why he couldn't explain, it came down to him admitting the reasons he came up with were unfit for the public posting or in actuality valid against his credentials. So yes its true, tonight i didn't feel like not joining my clan mates in the game, cutting KDX so i could concentrate on a written responce, and ignore the other people PMing me on Gameranger. Shocking isn't it. As for why i stated i didn't think Ghostsniper would make the best admin? several reasons non personal nor any that i feel need to be discussed in public least with you Mysterio but GS it was nothing personal, we don't see eye to eye politically but thats a completely different matter in my opinion. (im still looking forward to our cuppa coffee and chat one day) but i felt there were other people who would fit the bill more suitably. I had originally made the error of mistaking the posts by Crypt ont he MGL forum to have been made by Ghostsniper - crossed wires which i very quickly uncrossed. Quote I thank BFG for his time, and invited him to be more polite next time. Lastly thankyou Mysterio for probably ignoring most of this post or just the bits you don't want to read. I'd also like to invite you to try to communicate with others as if you were on the same level - You have views and opinions and your very welcome to them but i am no longer going to sit here and listen to your petty whining i have no longer the patience or the want to. Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: BTs_Mysterio on January 11, 2005, 12:52:03 am That was as content-less as a flies post I read awhile back. I don't what the questions were or what I am supposed to reply to. If you want to give me something to reply to or a question to answer I will. Was that flame bait or just rambling?
Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: Typhy on January 11, 2005, 02:48:04 am Typhy if you don't have anything to add to this topic, let it be. Your unconstructive energy won't be tolerated anymore here. See this as may your last warning. Further it was you that misused his power as admin, changed clanstatus, reactivated clans without the knowledge of the other admins, you just did it because you thought it is your opinion and so it must be the right one. That and the unwillingness to work as team was the reason you got kicked as admin. And I've had enough of your ignorance. Shut the fuck up and read. "If you don't have anything to add"? I recommended Spike as an admin, and stated what I thought a BL admin should have. So, Mauti, I'd like some example of "unconstructive energy". Quotes, dates/times and links, please. The language you use in your first sentence isn't appropriate. - Second and last warning, Mauti Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: :MoD:Shade on January 11, 2005, 02:58:20 am Ok a final post on this: I don't what the questions were or what I am supposed to reply to. If you want to give me something to reply to or a question to answer I will. Myst, I don't think he wanted you to reply to him, he sounded tired of it when I was on KDX with him so maybe we could just drop it. Title: Re: Season X: Admins? Volunteers? Post by: Ein on January 11, 2005, 04:59:03 am OK... instead of flaming in this folder...
