I'm not sure who I'd go about PMing but I imagine part of the process would involve talking to Zeit and Lexi as well as figuring out what permissions are needed and whatnot. That aside, I'm not sure who has access to what.

EDIT: I'll hop on IRC tonight if no one else contacts an Admin to see if I can't get a hold of one.

 

I talked to Oz on IRC and he said that they think 2 mods for here is enough.

 

What if those mods are inactive?

 

Oz, as you can see above that's not at all what I'm complaining about. It has nothing to do with whatever you're talking about and everything to do with the fact that Zeit hasn't been around in a while and Lexi takes a bit to get a response from/is a bit lackluster in her duties.

 

It literally took me 3 PMs and two seperate posts on two seperate threads over the course of a week and a half to get a thread unlocked.

I'm not trying to be a dick, I just want to see a mod or two that has more enthusiasm for their role in this subforum.

I was hoping to get at least one of the two current mods to at least interact with us before taking it upwards in the chain of command because then I'd be faced with "is it really necessary or are you dicking around complaining". I'd rather this situation have been solved in this sub-forum, rather than by moving the case up and bothering one of you guys.

 

Obviously, but again, I'd rather not have to go to you guys for simple stuff like that. That's my main concern, simple stuff. If I have to go to one of you guys constantly than obviously there's a problem somewhere.

Like I said, I was hoping to get a response from the two current mods before I moved up the chain. Really I just want a pair of moderators who want the responsibility. If they do than more power to them and I'll just keep pestering them, but if for one reason or another, a new mod would serve to fit the bill I'd happily defer to them as well.

I don't care who the mods are, I just want them to be active.

 

I agree, we have a mod situation. It's fine if one mod becomes busy, that's what the other mod is for, but for both of them to disappear without saying anything, there's a problem. I would even be fine with both of them disappearing at once, but as I said, they have said nothing on the matter and we don't know what they're doing or when they'll be back.

I also agree, we don't need more than two mods and locking threads at night is unnecessary.

I would have liked to hear Zeit and Lexi's opinions on this, but because they're apparently not around... :/

 

Bottom line is that this many people wouldn't be pushing for an additional mod if there wasn't a problem.
If it was just Riley starting crap and being difficult, no one would be backing him up--but he's not. I would love to wait for Zeit or Lexi but this talk has been going on for a while and there haven't replied in any way about it.

Please reconsider.

We know we can rely on you guys on the rest of the site, but we need active authority in here, and we're not getting it.

No one is blaming Zeit or Lexi for it, whatever is going on IRL, I've gotten the impression is stuff they have to take care of. However, we can't just wait, and it's further unfair to expect them to constantly be here when we need them while they're dealing with whatever.

 

I agree with both of them.

It does come down to host making executive decisions on some aspects. But there also needs to be some mods around here for when things get out of hand or even doing some simple stuff.

Things like sticky, lock/unlock, mod like things are in a almost always need. Plus having a player who is a mod here would be nice.

I mean would you rather have us always sending a mass pm to mods to take care of such simple things if they are not around? Next thing you know there's gonna be 20 pms from players asking same thing

Games are host decided (with maybe a mod if something goes very wrong)

Everything else is kinda mod/player dictated

 

I'm around, I've just been settling in after exams. I responded to Riley's requests for his thread rather promptly given I stated I would be busy with exams and flying to America and stuff.

 

Like I said, if you're up for being the Mod, I'd love to keep you there, less hassle for others, but that doesn't excuse Zeit.

I apologize if it seemed like I was pestering, I didn't see any indication of that, so I am sincerely sorry about that. I just noticed that there had been a week gone by for my first PM, which is why I sent the second. Hope everything went smoothly for you.

 

Ok, did a quick cleanup of the stickied threads. I thought that I could take a small break from this for exams because Zeit would be active. It appears I was wrong, but that's fine. If Zeit isn't around, I'd like to have a second mod to pick up my slack, but I should be able to carry the load until that's done.

Best way to reach me on this site is to PM me. It does the annoying pop up thing, so I always check them.

Yeah, I noticed your first PM Riley, and I read it, but I thought Zeit would take care of it. When I got the second one, I took care of it myself. I shouldnt have assumed and checked with Zeit.

Again I apologize for my absence. Exams + disowning my family + dealing with customs and flying to america for 4 1/2 months was a difficult endevor but I'm finally mostly settled in.

 

Good to hear that you're still interested in Modding, and thanks for cleaning everything up.

I'll let this rest in your hands for now, if you feel that Zeit needs a replacement, I'd prefer it come from you as the mod for this sub-forum.

 

I'll poke Zeit, but if he doesn't come back, I would RATHER not handle this alone.

 

Huh. Stuff needed to be taken care of indeed.

Anyway, glad to have you back, Lexi. Welcome to the land of the fist-bumping eagles.

 

Has anyone heard from Zeit? He's been AWOL for a while now.

P.S.

I now feel ready. Ready to make a game for DLP. How do I go about testing to make sure there is balance and things like that? Is there a website or something?

 

The Mafia game design group here on DLP would be a place to start.
