I have officially figured out why many people keep saying this server is a joke. Mods to be honest you give each other way to much leway. As soon as someone complains about a mod they get shot down and the mod wins even though its the mods fault. In my opinion and many others you guys are babying each other way to much than taking it out on the regular players. yes mods can do what regular players can do but it seems to me that mods get away with it a lot more. I DID NOT come on this server to be harassed, and im sure many others dont either. i came on here to try and start a town to help people. I also think all moderators need to have a meeting and discuss the rules for the server because when we are getting told two different things it is very upsetting. The griefing rule should have stayed at 5 blocks becasue there is no reason for anyone to have protection. one more thing, the harassing is becoming a joke and there is not punishment for it which there should be. i would like to stay on the server but things need to change. once more i didnt come here to have to look over my shoulder the whole time yes there is pvp but when someone is not out in the wilderness and if they are in their place they should not constantly be harassed. i understand raiding every now and again but being harassed everyday is getting really tiring and we are starting to think there is no point. we have worked hard to build our town and we are hoping that soon it will become a towny, we rarely go out of our town and when we do we try to leave people alone so i think people need to respect that and leave us alone as well.

As I told you when I was dealing with zip, I didn't have much to go on. I didn't know what had happened the night before, and I didn't know how where and when zip set his mark. The only proof I had to go off of was your word and zips. Either way, my hands are tied.

On mods getting away with more the only reason it seems that way is that pretty much all issues with moderators are dealt with within the staff chats where it isn't seen by most people. Also, unless there is a huge issue (which thankfully doesn't happen often) mods tend to refer to admins or several other mods first when dealing with mods meaning punishment isn't so quick.

Hello Kaylavar,
For the past 2 weeks i have been doing undercover staff evaluations and will certainly move some staff up from guide and even down to guide. As i am not always online to lay down the law i do work mostly behind the scenes on the server. As the owner i am pleased when people such as yourselves create your own community in the world we call mirugan. I also understand that it is a major inconvenience to be pked on a regular basis. The staff and myself will be discussing a variety of ways to lessen the grief caused by raiding. some of these regulations may include things such as raid timers, raid limits, raid announcements, planned raids, possibly even a raiding board. We will try to balance these rules and regulations so that raiding is a fun experience for everyone and so that we do not exclude such acts on this server. I'll say from experience raiding is quite a fun aspect of this server, especially when the opposing force has strong defenses. But prolonged raids can be quite tiresome and even down right troubling. Enjoy your stay on AOC pm me if there are any questions or concerns.
Regards, igmikey

Before you read my message below, I'd like to let you know that Var farms now has the full military support of Arcem, Horizon, Solumdes_Shrine, and a few other freelancers and friends of mine, Kayla. That being said, I'd like to note I'm not someone who raids them and is saying this so we could continue to do it.
Whilst yet another complaint of staff like this (in particular, another complaint about ZipZapMan) makes me sad, and wish for change, I don't believe the entire system should be changed. Rather than entirely eradicate a generally-working system, wouldn't it be better to punish the offenders? Especially in this case, the offenders being mod(s) who should not only know the rules, but strive to perfect and display them. Would it not be prudent for the offending party to be punished, rather than the entirety of the server?

Thank you Igmikey i see where u are coming from and i was very upset and thought it was time for me to finally say what i have been waiting to say i am willing to work with u on the raiding and will be waiting to see what happens... because of this i am willing to stay on AOC for the time being i do agree with ryan when he says mods should be an example of good behavior on the server and i do understand still that mods are jsut like we are on the server but when it comes to the power lets say "going to some mods heads" it gets a little much but i am willing to look past it thanks again Kaylavar

No problem-I'll grill Zip over this for you once I have managed to obtain the whole story from both of you.

AoC staff are the best they are stupid and like having a laugh but in the end take their job really seriously while having fun. I agree with you that there is some problems as some mods/admins do sometimes abuse their powers. Anyway from the amount of support you have I think that you can safely say that they listen to you.(except when you are trying to get your name changed IG... thats a pain)
