Personally, even as a member of ATS, I'm willing to give Zealot the benefit of the doubt when it comes to this situation. This is money out of his pocket, so if he ends up trying to troll one day, who is he really hurting? He's out hundreds of dollars and we are out $0.00. Now, that does not mean I trust him at all, and I don't think he expects us to. He pulled some major shit hardly even a month ago and every time I've played with him, he's been a complete douche. This also applies to about 80% of any other LLJK I've played with since DAY ONE of my cRPG experience. No one can deny they are mostly trolls and shitty people to play with.
That being said, I don't want some random admins that know nothing about NA players or the community to come in and start doing what everyone complains about. Yes, I too have problems with some of the people we have appointed as admins, but at least I am familiar with them. Leaders and/or figures of authority need to be personable. No one likes Mr. Smith and his posse of nameless faces to come in and start busting heads. Yes, I know he's a dev., but I don't know him, and he doesn't know me. My concern is competence. I want people who deserve their responsibilities and can handle them. Also the fact that there are already like 4 NA servers that NO ONE plays on.....
TL;DR
I support this decision to an extent. Kudos to Zealot even if he is the most scummy person I know in cRPG.
