Waiting...

I get that you're upset. A lot of the other players here are, but understand where he's coming from. A death of a close friend or family member is more important than a server can ever hope to be. Regardless of why he isn't back yet, we need to understand that life is outside of this server and that sometimes life gets in the way of minecraft. Don't come here and complain about GreenPeas being gone, when you don't know the circumstances of his being away. Yes, he didn't make any notice that he was leaving and yes it's been a while, but that's no reason to single him out as not caring for the server. He cared very deeply for Brawl and I don't appreciate you slandering him when he isn't here to defend himself. He'll come back, and when he does he'll be more than happy to help the server he cares so much about. That should be enough for everyone. Please realize that it isn't the staff members' job to be on this server 24/7 helping people they don't know when something in real life has caused him to focus his attention elsewhere. Put yourself in that position before claiming he doesn't care, please.

 

I appreciate your optimism, @_featherpaw_. Honestly, I'd be surprised if he came back. It just seems evident he's not coming back. If I were him, playing Minecraft would take my mind off of any tragedy in my life.

 

All I am going to say is, I respect the situation that Peas is going through and my thoughts are with whatever has gone on. WarZ also needs a staff manager as it is one of Brawl's more 'intensive' servers that is in need of staffing especially with higher ups. Peas being gone and with no communication to Brawl, either needs to be reached out to or needs to go with a replacement.

 

I'm not 100% sure that's the reason. It could be a contributing reason, but what I've heard was he was PMed some hateful stuff for being promoted very fast.
At the beginning of this year, when he came back from a long hiatus due to school stuff, he was instantly given Mod. Then, just a month later, he was promoted to SMod and made manager of WarZ and Party.

 

I think he should have as much time as he needs to recover from his loss, but he shouldn't have forever.

 

So in other words you are saying "hey! One of my relatives died! I'm going to go play minecraft so I can forget all about it!"
I'd much rather stop playing minecraft and mourn. However, I'd agree that if he doesn't show up soon, it would be best to find another smod to take his place. There have been a lot of updates that happened with warz and by the looks of it, it really improved the player count. We need someone willing to be active and think up more ways to make the server even greater.

 

I'm sorry. I don't feel mourning like most other people. The most I've cried over a loved one's death was maybe a few days. I guess it's because of my religious beliefs. I know I'll see them again when I die.

 

This is not a job. It is volunteer work. He can leave if feels like it. However, I do believe that WarZ, CTF, and Party really need smods (active ones) as they are the most popular/most money making servers on Brawl. I have very much respect for @GreenPeas , but I do believe he needs to be replaced. We cannot have an inactive manager for our 2 biggest servers. within this month the player bases of both servers have dropped significantly. We must face facts. We need active managers for these servers now. Particularly ones that know their area.

 

I understand if it's family and whatnot but even a close friend I would probably not be gone for a couple of months. That said, Peas isn't me and I'm not peas, of course he may be either more sensitive or traumatized. The issue is not why or how long he's gone. It's the lack of communication. From what we all (community) know, he's gone mourning a loss. That is just purely from rumor (rumor isn't a lie, note that) and greenpeas himself hasn't addressed his absence. I thought he was a great and down to earth smod upon his promotion but im losing hope as the days count away.

we need a replacement even if it is temporary. We have alters that buy elite. Dean, cj, all have been playing for about a month and nobody there to even check if it's them. Gee, wonder who bradydarkspear is, must be a new and coming warz talent who happens to team with trynda and bailey!

we need a new smod to fill in temporarily. Ill run you through the staff team that affiliates with warz:
peas - the only smod who cares about warz: inactive 2 months
rocktomb - only smod who understands the warz community extensively: not active on the server, therefore not effective warz smod
trogs: meh, he has some rough opinions on things and i dont think he understands the community a lot. not an effective warz hit
chicknslayr: gave up on warz completely. either felt too pressured despite his mod application expressing dedication, or was fed up with the false bans. regardless, he did a decent job when he was warz staff. however he moved servers and now hes modding elsewhere. thats 1 less active staff member on warz we need
imacro: only thing he can do with his timezone is check if dean, bailey or dolphin are hacking.

lol nevermind
rmst1: was active on warz for a brief period and actually did a great job banning players that were blatant that most dumb players dont see. sadly hes fallen inactive on warz and went back to his applied server wild west. 1 less effective mod on warz.
ryguy:hes overall been pretty decent, he has had a learning curve with warz with some mistakes but hes quickly gotten over them. hes banned alot of players and usually listens to reports. he would be a good fit for warz had he been more active.
socool: only time ive seen him relevent with warz is banning someone for reporting a hack- you know what never mind im not gonna start a flame war
aboves: probably the best jmod staff on warz, however hes too inactive and cuddled probably wont give him mod anytime soon so he remains useless in terms of warz punishment
overkill: most inactive jmod, doesnt rlly know a lot of the rules and will not be promoted to mod anytime soon. he was active when he began as jmod but hes barely on now tbh im on warz a lot and i never see him on.
ambitionz: i thought he would apply for warz when he began playing for chicknslayrs warz team but instead he applied for a server that literally has way too many mods and doesnt need any of them.
cuddled: i gained a lot of hope when she began paying more attention to warz and helped host events, banned alts and hackers but she hid away from the warz community since "im not dealing with warz anymore" why?

its the server in most need of you guys and many of you back down to mod easy ass servers like war and wild west. cmon give me a break staff team, warz is probably 50% hackers and alot of accounts are alts, the toxicity is crazy, event frequency has slowed to a crawl, and some of you mods and admins choose to go to raid? war? why do you think i switched mod from war to warz? war was so boring and didnt need any staff whatsoever. i thought i would impact the server but i was met with the telling off of someone saying "stfu" in chat once every couple hours or so. instead of cowering to other servers, mods+ need to step up and clean up servers that need it. warz makes probably the most income for brawl yet it is left in the dust by mods who want to make their own lives and job easier. if you applied for warz, stick to it because we need you. if cuddled is gonna refuse to promote people who want to make a change, then current mods need to make the change themselves.

we need feather as party smod and more mods on warz, and peas/sn4x5 to be active smod for warz specifically. warz may even need 2 smods, 1 specifically for events and community management, and the other focussing on ban/mute cases and alting. if peas comes back, id promote sn4x5 as well to smod it would be a huge plus for the community and with his timezone, a big difference. the warz playerbase has dropped significantly (i even made a thread about this) and its dropping further. i was on today and theres literally only cjs team (lmfao) 6-7 people full d on all just killing everyone, skruni's team of 6 sitting in a tower, and the germans who only play on weekends now except paulpe. weekdays are the worst with about 10-25 people maximum across the 4 servers. weekends can jump to 50+, but usually stays at 35-45 as the evening hits each weekend day.

 

I understand that you're angry guys. I really do, but now that Peas has been promoted, it is very difficult to justify stripping that rank away from him just because of outside forces out of his control. That'd be like saying you worked at a job and your mom died, so you took some leave of absence and your boss fired you. Don't be mad at Peas just because he's going through a rough time and can't find time to come back to a volunteer position.

 

It can't be a leave of absence of two months.

 

The last time CTF had an S-Mod it created conflict and didn't work out after one day. No, CTF doesn't need more bureaucracy. It needs an active, dedicated, and competent coder.

If no one can contact him for ~2 months then he should be replaced, at least temporarily.

^

 

Please have some compassion in your hearts! I know I shouldn't be the one to say this. I have no right, but please don't take that away from him. He cares about Brawl. Let me get in touch with him. Give me a week please. I promise I'll be able to talk to him by then.

 

This is getting extremely over dramatic. I don't think anyone's saying they want Pea's to be demoted, we just need someone to fill his position temporarily. If he's having personal things effecting him right now, he deserves as much time as he needs. With that being said Brawl also deserves an active and dedicated S-Mod to keep WarZ and Party thriving in his absence, because right now the player base is slowly depleting.

 

What evidence do you have that it's depleting? I've actually seen an increase in playerbase.

 

As I said, 'slowly depleting' I don't actually have any physical statistics, I'm just going off what I've personally observed, but not having an S-Mod surely isn't improving the player base. Also I really hope you understand I'm sincere when I said no one wants Pea's demoted, I think he's a great person and a great attribute to the Brawl staff team but if he's not currently here than we need a temporary replacement.

 

@Sn4x5 for SMOD!

(if we get 10 20 agrees maybe it will happen)
