I'm pretty sure he didn't mean credit cards and the like, but stats and wealth and notes, etc.

I know you're bias with JF* is deep, but if there's been questionable activity from a staff member and then there are irc logs that substantiate these claims, while they can't be used as fact, if the conversations are around the same time as access to those account (which can be factually verified) then I think it should be looked into, not matter what level of troll Phantom may or may not be.

This won't end well for torn.

I don't care if it was intentional or not or if they were retrained a million times. It's unacceptable.

Losing t r u s t.

This is what is really needed. The transparency (regardless of whether the decisions are right or wrong) that is being pulled gradually into this thread despite some others kicking and screaming trying to pull it back into the closed circle of chums.

Respect to you my man.

...So let's get this straight, there is NO method to actually know what in the f**k goes on behind staff curtains, and you think that's good because it's a way to "avoid public drama"? Well why the hell would there be drama in the first place? I mean, if you're making all the good calls, then you'd get more approval for doing that, and a couple of haters here and there. And I guess I can get why some issues would be more of a drama fest, but that would mostly be because there is an even split in personal beliefs between people...but other then what should be rare instances of mixed opinions, there wouldn't be any public outroar unless you did one thing: f**k up, and f**k up REAL bad...guess what, someone f**ked up, and they f**ked up really badly.

As Critch said, JFA pride themselves on their trolling on the forums so I'd assume it's a joke. If you report the post, I'm sure it will be looked into though!


And as Henkie stated, we have no access to any personal details like that so don't worry about that side of things.


For my part, I keep myself to myself and have no idea about the things being alleged in this thread. I enjoy contributing to the game with my work in the bookie and hope that on the whole, the community are appreciative of my efforts to keep everyone happy in terms of the games I add. It's sad to read some of the posts where people are staff bashing as I would hope that anybody I have interacted with as staff, is happy with what I did for them. But I appreciate that if a person has one bad experience with one part of anything they tend to dislike the everything. Thats just life!



It's been a crazy few months and there's a lot of opinions out there on various things that have been raised recently. But Ched has the games best interests at heart so trust in him. We will all have forgotten about these things by this time next year if the game progresses as Ched intends!

Daisy actually mentions credit card details hence my post g_ho

as for JF biased, I've actually changed my opinion on JFK as of recently, JFA on the other hand are 99% trolls, in fact with the exception of penicillin I wouldn't pay attention to anything they say on here

as for said staff member, Ched has stated that the matter has been investigated, I'm happy with that, Ched is a lot less biased than admin who were actively playing the game and could have had personal agendas (although I'm not saying that this was the case)

marc walked away from his role, with this post along with others he's made since he stepped down, the whole thing reeks of a disgruntled former employee, to me, it looks as if several senior staffers tried to force Ched in taking a direction he didnt want to go in with the threat of a mass walk out, he called their bluff and they walked away, he's moved on and is reviewing his game and the actions of his former staff, Marc clearly doesn't like it but it's nothing to do with him anymore, he's stepped down, now he seems to be trying to stir the pot

in Ched we trust
Marc [24377]

If you feel it's got nothing to do with me anymore, then this clearly has nothing to do with you so you may stop posting.

If you wish to continue posting about the situation, then it has something to do with you, and as a fellow player, it also has something to do with me.
critch [507888]

Exactly, your just a player like me now Marc, the difference is that you have info that the normal player doesn't have from your admin days, tbh I'm very surprised that you did not have a confidentiality agreement in place, if I were to leave my employment, I cannot disclose or use info I have gained from my time with my employer for 2 years, this is to prevent me damaging his business which is something is suspect that you are trying to do to Ched and torn

credit where credit is due to Ched in the fact he believes the actions of the previous admin were wrong and has undone them, the fact he is allowing this thread to remain open for discussion just goes to show that he has nothing to hide, if he had removed the thread I would be wanting to know what he is trying to cover up
critch [507888]

Oh, and btw, for the record, the fact that I have current staff (not diva btw) rating up my posts where I am calling you out for attempting to stir things up says an awful lot to me!
Marc [24377]

You didn't reply on my post above btw about Amanda and how you think this is a good decision to rehire someone who got fired. Just a friendly reminder. :)

I don't need to damage Ched and/or Torn, he's doing a pretty decent job at doing that himself :)
johnnyrambo [635043]

Well one possibility is disgruntled, but you have an agenda so I won't pay too much attention to your suggestions. Another possibility is whistleblower and another still is just attempting to bring a little of the much desired transparency to the table?

Is part of the Free Mi****ht deal to keep a certain ring very shiny?



critch [507888]

To the contruary, I think torn is now looking at a brighter future than ever before

as for Amanda, not read it yet but I will do so later
CatHead [1581564]

Now let's all hold hands and sing Kumbaya like Marc had planned for the forums.

Ched's doing alright all in all, this rehiring is dumb as f**k but so were your plans to make this place a safe space for delicate flowers.

Critch trying to kiss cheds ass now that he thinks theres a posibility of getting midshite released

will there be more tears than when you moaned about the db, SA?
critch [507888]

My agenda is simple, I want the game to thrive, I've played it long enough and until very recently was close to quitting, all this happening recently is restoring my faith in the game

you can shout agenda as much as you like, do I agree with the Midknight fedding, like most if torn, no I do not, perm deletion is moronic, I do however have faith in Ched to review these rules moving forward, will this mean midknights release, possibly not, hell, he may not even come back even if he is released! It's been along time now, I did not have that faith in the previous admin regime who seemed to want nazi rule at times quite frankly
