I know I have never been the best of all game owners, but I certainly have not been the worst (I don't care what you say Christine or whatever your name is  )
Recently, I have put in an awful lot of effort in to making a game which is more fun, more exciting and dare I say, more unpredictable to play.
However, right now I am rather stuck.
The Admin Team has always been there to help you as much as possible. At least that was always the plan.
I can't deny, members have abused their power in the past, even recently, and this is what upsets me.
If anything, I always tried to provide you with a fair game, and when I became aware of something being wrong (people favouring others when they shouldn't, vests , etc) I always tried to correct it, even if it took me a while.
Though right now, I feel like the blind leading the blind.
I realise the Admin Team have always had a tough job to do. It is very tempting, knowing you have so many toys at your disposal, and having very little chance of being caught out (especially those red buttons!). So I thank all Admin Team members, both all those in the past, and those in the current (SL & JM), for their tireless, unpaid, and often difficult, work (especially when I refuse to respond).
That said, I can't allow this to go on.
As I have mentioned above, I know many injustices have been done in the past. Only yesterday I logged in to find the whole game had been handed over to someone I hadn't spoken to in nearly a year (thanks Chief, you numpty).
Now, today I am finding an Admin Team member has been logging in to someone's account (mentioning no names) and posing as a player.
It really does now feel like I can't trust anybody.
So.
This is your game, what do you want? I have suspended the whole Admin Team for now while we discuss this.
If you want an Admin Team who will be honest, it seems like we're a long way from Kansas right now. Though these are my personal feelings, you will often get a bit of corruption nomatter what you do. Also, sometimes you just can't flush that out.
For what it's worth, I prefer no Admin Team, and finding real, automatic, technical solutions to duping, account sharing, etc etc (if that's even possible).
I guess this comes down to:
- Do you want a real human (despite the concequences) to help you
- Or would you rather have an automatic solution (assuming that was possible)
The floor is open.
Please only give decent suggestions. One word answers, or even 20 lined stupid answers will be removed. This is important.
Paul

Trouble is, it's hard to find an honest one when you give them the power to do what they like.
Scary huh?

I think personally to limit supporting admin powers. I.e. not being able to give items out. Basically the supporting admin duties would be to look for dupes and to look into things that have went wrong in the game. Give the support admin "limited" power.

Agreed with boe especially the honest hardworking admin that does everything they can do within the "limit."

If u lookin for a admin well my vote goes to seph. Seph has earn the most trustable plyer inn gg, I think he could be a great admin.

I would just like to state that while I was admin at NO time did I unfairly favour, help or boost anybody.
The worst I did was send some RP out to a few people.
I just want to get that very clear.

hmm.. interesting concept paul. having a automated solution may sound good but that is not the solution. having live admin as before should be the way. there are cases that need the human touch. my suggestion is to have 1 main admin with full powers and 1 or 2 assistant admin with limited powers. the limited powers are such as approve profile pics, dupe hunting tools. they cannot generate anything in-game. only the main admin has generating powers. the two assistants can be known as GG moderators. only the main guy is GG admin.

Yeah, Good idea

just to add, in case its misunderstood. the main admin guy is not referring to paul. as paul is the creator and is looking into improving GG, the main admin in my suggestion would be an active and trustworthy person. they keep generating powers so that comps and admin hitlists can be made possible.

So what you mean is:
Paul (Coder)
??? (Full Admin)
??? (Mod) ??? (Mod)

correct jax. but paul is not only coder. he will just have a team with him with revamped powers to help look after GG.

Shit man! Im getting the sense that admin indeed has 2 much powers. I like the idea of seph. Head admin should b a neutral someone. Not someboddy with livetime ingame friends

well Dante, it does not make a difference as people can become friends anytime too. all the guy should be is, trustworthy. he answers only to paul.

I agree there must be a human element, as for example it is necessary to report cheats/dupes, secondly the human admins allow for creativity. The idea of limiting the power of admin team members is an interesting one but then what use would there be for the "Admin Favour" and competition prizes, of course there should be no element of bias, and I totally agree that admin team members be kicked out for favoutitism but we need HUMAN admins

Yes admin is corrupt but only as corrupt as the players who ask for `favours`. But agree admin have done other things. None corrupt limited powers admin team.

i reckon seph would make great admin. on my time in gg found him to be honest helpful always ready to answer any question and his knowledge of the game is vast and he is also one hell of a cool dude
