Sticky's right in that it's a questionable staffing decision but headmins have no reason to care about this giant disney copyright infringement called a "server" that was dropped in their laps to troll people with sprites we don't have permission to use.

Honestly I feel like this thread needs to have a Nervere response. As much as it is a Sticky rage thread I think that since he's decided to throw shit into the air that we should hear justification if at the least to shut everyone up.

All I request is greater transparency in the future, at least to the staff of tg to discuss stuff like this instead of deciding unilaterally since the other headmins are distanced from DMCA as a whole; our administration is best when we're a team, obscuring information appears to be the core point of the anger from Sticky here and I think it's perfectly valid.

I'm not taking a side on the DMCA thing because personality I think it's a horrible horrible pitfire, but I'm discussing the precedent that this is setting for our current leadership to not talk to their team.

No idea because everything was done by one person in total secret.

Perhaps we could gauge the opinion of the players we work for with some kind of "internet poll", determining who rules them by "polling" the population to find out who they think serves their interests best.

We could call it something random like, I dunno, an election? That has a nice ring to it.

An election in a brand new community that goes up on weekends? Hmm....

Its not as if nerv deadminned every admin who disagrees with him, he hired two dedicated people who obviously care for the community. Also when did the Francinum deadminship occur? Weren’t you just preaching that Elyina’s old feedback is irrelevant due to its age?

Ok so from what I can tell he was candidated in June 2016, and failed. So >2 year old feedback. Sure its not 4 years but....

That feedback was twice as old and about policy back then, Elyina didn't break any rules or cheat. Elyina is also going through the correct process to determine if they're right to be a game admin. Francinum skipped this. Entirely different situation.

If you think the community is going to be a twice weekly test server forever you don't know what's going on

Francinum was candidated in June 2016 apparently and failed. He barely knew why according to old conversations I had with them. I believe the reason is 'poor people skills.' Later on, Francinum got into trouble because he talked with an admin that metacommed. I think this was one year ago in 2017.

If Francinum was banned for metacomming back then then they would probably be unbanned right now. If Francinum is believed to be innocent and it's just a bunch of people going "GUILT BY ASSOCIATION IS VALID" that disagree or you just don't care about it then the only remaining criticism is Francinum's trialminship. Two years is enough to change your attitude or acquire wisdom though.

I feel like this thread is just crocodile tears.

Re: DMCA is no longer /tg/, Nervere has killed it

Post by Nervere » #440886

I'll start this post by introducing my perspective as an incoming headmin. With Rustledjimm no longer a headmin and unfortunately stepping away from DMCA/SS13, it became the issue for us new headmins to decide its future and how it should be managed. Neither of the other headmins seemed particularly interested in DMCA, and to be fair I hadn't been involved much either. I took it upon myself to find a solution to DMCA's management issue, because without Rustledjimm, there was no one to lead the server at all besides Ninjanomnom with the codebase. To make a long story short, I found that there were three finalist candidates to lead the server: Rohesie, Francinum, and Stickymayhem. Why these people? All three candidates had demonstrated an investment in the project to some degree or another, and had experience in administrative matters related to DMCA. I didn't consider Ninjanomnom because his interest only in coding and doesn't want a part in the administration of the server.

What I had in mind in considering these three candidates was the division of DMCA management to be two-fold: one person would manage the direction of the server (as much as possible being an administrator, most of this is up to code), policy, server growth, and server organization. This role is what I called "DMCA manager." The other would be the "DMCA Lead Administrator", the individual in charge of recruiting new staff, conducting staff training, and ensuring a quality administration. I described this to Sticky as a 60/40 split of responsibilities, but a 50/50 split of authority. Looking back, the way I managed these roles was quite stupid. The DMCA Manager role implies a degree of authority over the codebase that it doesn't have, and the roles of Manager and Lead Administrator have a lot of overlapping responsibilities. Enough similarities, in fact, that it would probably be better to make it a single role assigned to both individuals I picked, something more along the lines of, "DMCA Headmin." This caused more confusion than it would have had I just named it that, so I apologize for the confusion and vagueness caused by that. I will concede that part of this was that I wanted to avoid the term, "headmin." There's still disagreement on what exactly DMCA will become, and headmin implies a degree of separation that might not necessarily exist yet.

Anyway, I've gotten a bit sidetracked discussing the roles and what they mean. Let's get back to the people I chose: of the three finalist candidates I considered, I chose Rohesie to be the DMCA Manager and Francinum as the Lead Administrator.
Why them? To start, Rohesie had been heavily involved with DMCA near the beginning. He worked closely with RustledJimm to get the server organized and playable, he is well-immersed and in-touch with the people who play DMCA, he has been involved with nearly every time the server has been up on the weekends. Rustled had given him a role to this effect while he was still headmin - I believe the role was called Helper - which was effectively an administrative rank. His contributions to the codebase, the community, and his work as an admin on the server proved to me that he was right for the job. Stickymayhem makes the claim that Rohesie is some sort of disliked figure within DMCA, or has some sort of outlandish vision for the server, but that simply isn't true. In my conversations with him, he seemed to agree that DMCA would be a server distinct from both CM and /tg/, though incorporating many elements from both. It's not that this vision matters entirely, because Rohesie is not the dictator of DMCA and he's only a maintainer - any drastic code changes would have to go through Ninjanomnom, DMCA's head maintainer. It seems disingenuous and quite frankly an attempt at fearmongering that Rohesie is going to "ruin" DMCA because he doesn't quite align with Sticky's vision for the server. Rohesie is experienced with CM, he's very competent, and I'm confident in my choice.

As for Francinum, I was very well-aware of his history when considering him, and even with that considered he was still the best pick for DMCA. I'll address those in a bit.
Firstly, why I chose him: Francinum had been a moderator and, later, a senior moderator for DMCA. He had good experience as a DMCA staff, and he had worked with me to identify and select new candidates for the DMCA staffing team, which has gone well so far (DMCA staff had to be given ranks by the headmins). Whenever I got a ping about DMCA, you could bet that it was Francinum pinging me, because he always wanted to have discussions with me about his views on the server and its future. This showed me his level of dedication to the project and its administration, and for his contributions, vision, and work as an admin, I selected him for the role. I know there are some concerns about Francinum's history on /tg/, allow me to address them. The two concerns are that, at one point, Francinum didn't move on to TrialAdmin during his time as an AdminCandidate. This was a pretty long time ago as far as I'm concerned, and I don't think that incident has any relevance, more than two years later, on his ability to be in a leadership position on DMCA. He has, evident by my positive experiences with him, changed a lot during this time. The second concern was the incident he had with Shadowlight213, something more recent. This doesn't look great on him, but the two things I considered that made me look beyond it was that
a.) both Rustledjimm and I had come to agreement that he had grown as an individual and regretted what happened, and b.) a substantial amount of time had passed since this happened.

If you're wondering why I didn't choose Sticky for either of these roles, the answer is rather simple. While Sticky was involved with the server initially, I saw no involvement on his part in the server beyond the first week or two. He had no contributions to the DMCA codebase, no prior experience with CM as far as I can tell, and his only recent forms of participation were him acting as an "ideas guy" for the lore of DMCA in the #DMCA-lorebus channel on Discord. DMCA has a lot of stuff that needs to get done - sprites that should probably get changed, code that needs fixing, tools that need developing. Sticky didn't seem very interested or clued-in on any of this. The last thing DMCA needs is a man that is 100% ideas, 0% action running the show. Even in the field of DMCA administration, Stickymayhem wouldn't have been a great candidate. He doesn't have the experience I would like to have seen in CM administration or policy. He doesn't seem to speak in the staff channels too often, either, compared to Francinum who has been plenty active.

Why not elections?
The DMCA community and staff is small and far-spread. We neither had the time nor the reason to run elections when the safer and more efficient choice was to appoint people.

On transparency
I disagree with what most of Sticky has said here, but he's absolutely right that I wasn't transparent about this at all, and it's perhaps my biggest failure with my decisions with DMCA.
Discussion on this have mostly been in #headmin-bus and #tgs-leads (the GameMaster + HeadAdmin channel), and that's contradictory to my promise to be completely open with my actions as a headmin.
For that, I do deeply apologize. I should have been more open with the admins and the community what was going on. I attribute it to my zeal as a new headmin to get things done quickly and efficiently, but that's no excuse to have kept people in the dark.
I would also like to apologize for my rather late reply to the thread - I have been quite preoccupied the past day or so. Please ask me any questions you have about all of this, I'll do my best to reply in a timely matter.

No idea because everything was done by one person in total secret.

Perhaps we could gauge the opinion of the players we work for with some kind of "internet poll", determining who rules them by "polling" the population to find out who they think serves their interests best.

We could call it something random like, I dunno, an election? That has a nice ring to it.
An election in a brand new community that goes up on weekends? Hmm....

Its not as if nerv deadminned every admin who disagrees with him, he hired two dedicated people who obviously care for the community. Also when did the Francinum deadminship occur? Weren’t you just preaching that Elyina’s old feedback is irrelevant due to its age?

Ok so from what I can tell he was candidated in June 2016, and failed. So >2 year old feedback. Sure its not 4 years but....
That feedback was twice as old and about policy back then, Elyina didn't break any rules or cheat. Elyina is also going through the correct process to determine if they're right to be a game admin. Francinum skipped this. Entirely different situation.

If you think the community is going to be a twice weekly test server forever you don't know what's going on
K sticky I was commenting on the fact that its a brand new community that has barely even been up so an election doesn’t make sense. No one even knows each other well yet.

To be fair, from my perspective at least, DMCA was in some way marketed as a temporary meme server in the first week or two of its existence. Many people seemed to react to it the same way they would if, for instance, tg were to have made a goon server for the fun of it after the goon leak back in 2016. By the time it was made clear that it was to become a serious project and permanent server, there wasn't much of a crew left. It seems many of these issues and conflicts could be avoided/solved if everyone who stills cares for the existence of this server were to sit down and have a full and transparent discussion about what their goals are for this server so that these thoughts can be brought to the relevant authorities, already pre-discussed and constructed, so they can be more fluidly put in action.

Given that DMCA is 100% ideas and 0% action I don't know why you'd think this.

Stop wasting so much time arguing over MSO's rage server that he made because he got banned from CM's discord and lets get back to our own shit.

I think this is what it comes down to and partially why DMCA independence is important. A good amount of tg's current community and staff had little interest in DMCA. But because of the previous issues stated, it was never able to grow into its own thing and tg's current administrative staff was stuck dealing with something they have no interest in nor agreed to handle in the first place. This leads to situations that are not fair to anyone involved nor help to fix the issues or allow for DMCA to grow into something. If we are to get past all of this, those who still care for DMCA as a thing need to step up, communicate with each other, and figure out what their plan is so that the appropriate steps towards DMCA's growth, and ideally, independence can be made. Because otherwise the only other solution that will solve all this drama and needless stress is to drop the server entirely. I wish it the best of luck, but I think its time that those with little interest in this undeveloped project stop getting dragged into its problems.

- replace any other sprites with stuff that makes sense
- replace xenomorphs with abductors where they have a poncho and sombrero which determines their caste, rank, etc

instead we got:

- tl;dr of nervere's post please
