It has been a long, long time, But I look back on my administration days with fondness.
Hard to believe it has been 12 years since I initially signed on with Tacticsoft. When I think about the early days, I get a mixture of nostalgia, regret and epic facepalm urges! xD
I am nostalgic for all of the people I worked with and the good times…
I regret many things about my tenure, starting with but not limited to doing away with the original SPAM board in the original forum. Only now, older and a little wiser, do I realize the sway the freedom that board provided to the grassroots community. While cleaning it up was part of my original tasking from higher up, I really wish now that I had taken a different tact… Live and learn…
I did some pretty dopey things whilst world admin. Usually when I would wake at crazy hours to track the progress of big battles and monitor for multiple accounts, etc… Ive banned the wrong account at a key moment for the player in a war, given resources to entire worlds thinking I was on the test servers when in fact I was on the wrong tab entirely, and quite a few other poopy-faces that make me want to facedesk repeatedly! LOL
All in all though, I miss the old community. The players. The coworkers, moderators and community volunteers. Some of the coolest people I have ever met, I met because of these games.
For those of you still here, Thank you for the memories, good and bad! I cherish them all!
EDIT: I am NOT actually an administrator here. Just wanted to be clear on that…
