On a Serious note - Whats one thing you like and dislike about being an Admin on HeroCraft?
One thing I like being an Admin? Definitely the thought that what I'm doing is directing the future of the server. I'm not talking about punishing players and such, I'm talking about helping define the future features that Herocraft's community will see in both the near and foreseeable future. Features such as the Adventure map, HeroLobby, and some others.
One thing I dislike about being an Administrator, well, this isn't exactly about being Admin, but just being upper staff in general. Sometimes, I feel as though some of the members of the community are out to see us [The Staff of Herocraft] do a wrong that is so erroneous that a staff member could loose their position. Other times, some community members just want to play fire with fire, and I don't like that. I don't like the idea that someone is just out there to see if one of us cracks. That is something that I don't like about being a Staff member in general; however, that is something that can't be avoided.
How different is it from when you were a Moderator?
When I was a Moderator, I believed I was still a player, and because of that, I would never be able to help meld the entire future of the server. I wouldn't be able to test, fix, and rewrite things that need fixing, testing and rewriting without having to go through an Admin. I wouldn't be able to have near autonomy when it came to handling a petition involving griefing or title granting or even mayor changes. This is because a Moderator is still a player in most aspects. Are all Moderators the same in this regard? Not quite. Are all Moderators potential to break that barrier of the player and bear full responsibility in all of their actions? I don't know, I'm not the one to ask that question as I'm not the one to handle Staff Promotions (except of course, Architects and possible candidates for Moderator, but that's more of a communal effort between other Administrators). The mentality change from a Moderator constantly requesting approval from an Administrator is something that I feel I have yet to shake off even being an Administrator for almost 4 months? Being a Moderator definitely is different from being an Administrator.
