I would like to thank ButterLover (AT) (from the Minecraft division),
for taking some time to do the admin retraining.
It was outside of his division, but he handled it very tactfully and was very polite about the procedure.... he even offered to train me in Minecraft!! lol which was very tempting, as that was something i had just gotten into recently.
anyways, I really appreciated it. and i mention it here, just so that other of our members can know, that there are other "Admin Trainers", from other divisions who are capable, and are hopefully as eager to assist in your retraining.
It can be done relatively quickly (although thoroughly) too, by the way. so don't let time deter you from staying an admin on DOD:s servers... we should really be stressing that we want to keep our admins around... cleaning house is good, but our goal should be to have as many eGO admin as possible... so that we can continue to keep our servers clean and punk-free, and to keep better time zone coverage.
Even if you admin for just a little time a day, even a little bit... can make a huge difference, the difference between..... people leaving our servers due to hackers/spammers/punks. and so when you "do" decide to come back and play... you will be able to have the power to step in like the eGO boss you are, and stop it in its tracks.
because being eGO is more than just a "role" or having "power", its about stopping the problems, so that other gamers can continue having a pleasant experience.
so i really urge all of our DOD:S edgegamer members, to just take a few moments of their time to install teamspeak (Even if you're like me, and don't use it very often, or even have a microphone), and even if you don't play the game as often. When you "DO" have that extra time play the game, we want our admins to be able to take appropriate action.
I hope this message finds you all well.
Above all..... Have fun! For it is the reason we all play.

or as our dear friend london would say, "Life is meant to be lived, go live it!"
