AMATSUKA ADMIN 2014
I've been playing CRPG for a while now, but really am not part of the old guard. I still consider myself a fairly new player who's learning how to be better all the time. I think this helps because I've been around with the community long enough to care, but am still fresh and new enough not to be too cynical.
Another reason why I'd be a great admin is because when I was first getting started, there were a lot of players who abused me terribly. I was vote kicked and team attacked constantly just because I was playing an unpopular build and I think that was pretty mean. I'm resilient though and am usually in pretty good humor, so I kept playing, but I think a lot of new players at the time would have been turned off by the behavior.
Honestly, I think the CRPG community is a lot better these days. I don't know what changed, but the same types of harassing behavior don't seem to occur with the same frequency as they used to. Most times I play, I find people on NA rather agreeable and fair tempered. I play all sorts of weird hours of the day like early mornings or when other people are working or sleeping. That's because I take care of rental property and my hours are mostly dependent on if I feel like working and are often limited by the task. Even when I have something to do, it usually means three hours of work and then I'm home again. It varies a lot.
I also spend a lot of time online idling on different services and waiting for people to engage me so I can make money on the side. So like, while I'm waiting, I tend to play CRPG. I think it's a great game because I can turn it on, jump into some fun, and not have to worry about some obligation to keep doing it. I often do anyhow, but the turn based nature keeps it so I can multitask. It's basically the perfect kind of game for me. Plus horses.
My record is pretty immaculate in my opinion. I've never been banned before and I've only ever been kicked once by an admin. He thought I was leeching, but I just ran out of rocks to throw. It's an easy mistake though and I don't hold it against him. I'm sure it's hard to make quick decisions.
I usually don't see a lot of rule breaking people on when I am these days, but if you wanted more of an admin presence during HA morning or other weird hours, I'd be around. I'd be a pretty conservative admin and stick to the basic and obvious offenses. Like leeching and teamkilling. I don't like things that ruin the game for other people.
Anyhow, if you want help, give me a holler.
PS: I'm at my computer a boat load even when I'm not playing. So people could contact me in IRC if something was going down.
