Re: lack of the development in Survive the Wild and other issues
@Draq there is no hiding or denying the fact that admins use to do that all the time, abuse their powers.
but there is one issue with using an alt account, and it's why it's best for admins to use their admin accounts. if someone is cheating, or stuck somewhere,or just generally needs an admin they normally type /admintell and explain what is wrong. if you are logged in as a normal player then you don't see any of those, and not all players might know there is an admin on under another character name. we could use names that clearly give it away, but then you have the issue of someone is cheating, like right now look, then by the time you get on the admin account it is past and nothing you can do about it.
and with the admin logs, there is no way to get around it, admin's cannot edit their logs, and it logs everything, every single little thing. that's also probably why admins are so touchy now a days about people in game saying you only did th is cause you are an admin, or it is unfair you are an admin. not saying you are saying this, don't get me wrong. i'm talking about people complaining, mainly about pk in the actual game. we simply don't, and if someone does they are gone, it's simple as that. it has been an uphill battle for some cause of things that were done in the past, admins setting their health to 100k and going and doing pk, or copying Sam's dfc with the 900 dfc and doing pk. but that doesn't happen at all anymore. and it makes sense why. you are essentially taking money from that person, unfairly taking their dfc and killing them, dfc they paid for.it's just logical, if a person buys 10 dfc, turns on pk and want's to fight, then someone comes along with an inventory they did not earn, they got from admin commands and kills that person. that is just simply wrong as hell, no way around it, and yes that use to happen in the past, but if someone did that now a days.. .it would be so un good for them. hell in the past there was even 1 admin who got caught, thanks again to our logs, giving Sam's inventory to his alt accounts, another gave Sam's inventory to his friends minus the paid items. shit use to just be bad. but luckily it doesn't happen any more. there hasn't even been an issue like that with our current admin group, closest was an admin using admin commands to give a player a compass, and yep they got yelled at by Sam publicly in the chat, and that was months ago.
when i first got set as an admin there was allot of admins who played under alt accounts, but i figured i wouldn't do it. and i also figured, in order for that i would have to play as a normal player, and the only way to do that is to have strict rules. I never talked to Sam about it though lol, i just sorta said, hey, this is the way it will work now, no more stupid admin shit cheating cause you are an admin. and slowly those admins who cheated we nt away, and we had a good admin team, as we do now. from the start they are very clearly told what they can and can't do. the temptation might be there, but the resulting shit storm isn't worth it. this is also why one of the first rules about being an admin is don't ask about being an admin. those who ask the most are the ones who you can't trust, all they want is the ability to do shit they can't do now for themselves and their friends. as it stands now we have a group of people who don't abuse it, and who keep the game running and keep fresh stuff happening, and no issues except from those who get caught cheating and then come to the forums and swear all admins are terrible and they never did anything wrong. but that will never go away.
