Hot Cakes

Hey guys, I've been on the staff team since 16th Feb '18, but now it's time that I step down as an Administrator. The reason for the resignation is pretty straightforward: I'm entering my last year of med school before I graduate and I feel that as of now, I need to make the best of this last year for my future practice. As such, I won't be able to prioritise Alora over other activities as I've done since I joined the team. I'll definitely still be around in the community, in all of it's forms. 

 

Big shoutout to the staff team, with MOST of it's past & all current members but, a special acknowledgement of @king purple , @Fenrir, @Mack, @God & yes, even you @Paine, wouldn't have lasted this long without you guys and others like you.

 

 

See you guys around,

Thank you for taking your time and writing this, posts like this makes people feel more accountable and as a result we end up having a better staff team.

 

I definitely agree with 1. and 2. The double standard is unacceptable, cosmetic or not.

 

Can't really comment on 3. but seems to me as being true BUT not a bad thing tbh - equality in that sense would be impossible/undesirable 

 

4. Don't really agree, but even if it were true, that's just normal human behavior, people always will point out a bad thing immediately relatively to a good thing.

 

All in all I'm very happy with the staff team on Alora, best staff team I've ever encountered on a RSPS. That said I'm still happy to see staff feed backs like this one cos everyone wins in the sense that any bad behavior is brought to light and fixed, while also making sure everyone is or feels accountable which leads to less corruption.

To be honnest i'm not gonna comment on your post since i've never been on staff team and I don't know how it is there but I dont think you should wash your dirty laundry on a public post like that... Even if you said your point is not to start a witch hunt it really look like it is. Ive ever seen you like a respected player but now you are loosing a lot of credibility with that post. You should really make a private group with the people that are concerned and debate your points there!

 

Btw, no grudge sir!

This is literally a section intended for community feedback, it's a perfect place for the points that are being mentioned. You really want a world where any feedback can't or won't be said publicly? 

Hey guys.

 

As you may or may not I resigned from the staff team on July 25th due to some things I do not agree with. I figured I would make a staff feedback explaining and pointing out some on the reasons as to why I left the team. The point of this feedback is not to start a witch hunt, but more a wake up call.

 

So here I am speaking as an ex-Global Moderator.

 

1. Administrators being able to change their name.

 

This has been a topic for quite some time and many people have requested to find a way to implement name changes. There is certain things that makes this a bit more difficult than it may seems, which I obviously can't elaborate further on. But I do not think it's fair that Administrator can change their name if the rest of the community can't.

 

2. Administrators / Some other people can hold Veteran rank on two different accounts.

 

The rules for the Veteran rank clearly states "Players may only hold the Veteran rank on 1 account at a time". Are Administrators not players? Before someone says that it might be mistake, then yes it could be a mistake. But it appears they make this mistake every time they transfer their staff rank from one account to another.

 

3. Staff members are being treated differently.

 

When I first joined the team everything seemed normal and I was excited to be on board and offer my help to Alora. After some time on the team I realized that some people would get different treatment either by being liked more or being on the team for longer. I'm not sure why either of these reasons should ever have an impact. Every staff member should be treated the same sadly they're not. This was still a thing when I resigned.

 

4. Administrators / Higher ups is lacking giving credit.

 

These is no doubt that everyone on Alora and on the Alora staff team makes mistakes. We're all human and it will happen at some time. These mistakes will get pointed out the second they happen, some in a more pleasant way than others. Don't get me wrong mistakes should be pointed out because if you don't know what you did wrong you'll never fix it. But, you can point out bad things in a good way instead of screaming and yelling at people. It's funny because when someone actually does a good job it's not pointed out instantly but rather kept in the dark. It takes a simple comment to make someones day and thrive to get better at what they're doing, sadly this is something that is lacked and overlooked.

 

 

These are some one the reasons as to why I left the team. Keep in mind these are some of the things I personally think are wrong and you don't necessarily have to agree with me, and if you don't that's completely fine. Like I said this is not to cause drama, start a witch hunt or whatever, but simply a wake up call for the staff team. I have pointed out criticism on this thread, so feel free to do the same to me either in pm's or below. Sorry for any misspellings or bad grammar as English is not my first language. Alora is and will always be the best Runescape Private Server out there and I love and admire all the work the staff team does on a daily basis, just a couple of things I think should be fixed.

 

Thank you for reading my feedback.

 

Regards,

Iron Champie

 

 

Congrats, such a great achievement.

FIX SIRE, THANKS.

It would be nice if you can explain in detail what your suggestions are for fixing Sire. Would give readers a better idea of what you are talking about.

Watch any video ever on a kill, then kill it. That'll explain it.

Just figured I'd share this:

I was originally hoping to get 100 days played on this account by the 1000 day mark, but this isn't all that bad either

 

Without writing too much, I'd like to say that I'm grateful to all the friends that I've met so far on here :) You're all wonderful people 

 

 

Oh, and here's something cool:

Never liked you but it's always a huge hit to see admins departure.

Cya.

hi how r ur parents & xxxtentacions manager doing lol

Hello everyone,

This day was gonna come, always struggled to quit Alora since it was a pretty big part of my life but right now I’m quite busy IRL, got a new contract at my job, school will start again in a few months and other stuff around it like spending time with gf and family and other responsibilities.

It’s been around 2 years and 5 months here on Alora, which I’ve been staff for 2 years and 4 months, I feel like still playing / being staff here holds me back IRL and I’m finally comfortable of leaving Alora, knowing that I have made some awesome accomplishments and made some great friends and also friends that will stick around long after Alora.

It was a pleasure to work here, learned a lot in these years which will help me IRL as well, I want to specially thank @Omicron and @Lowkey, the only 2 people who are still here from when I started.

The team is looking great, better than ever before and I’m sure they’ll do great things, and make Alora even better of what it is today.

This doesn’t mean I’ll completely leave but will still play rarely and still check Discord. It’s more a decision to not get stressed out since a lot is going on right now.

Love all of you, best of luck with whatever you’re all up to.

Much love,


Sheep.

Confused men rly want 2 talk. 
 

 

Let's address every kill in their video one by one.

Fuck POGs? Random from SS.

MHK? A Recruit from ICE.

 

Gwatti is a Dynasty member.
 

Code 002 is a staff member and ironman who is friends with Peeks and not a member.

 

NONE of these are Peeks members. 


Let's see the true quality of CVI.

Forced into a merge with Liths a few days after joining? Check.

 

A Confused and shaky merge against a team that pulls 10 people? Yep.


Dying to ironmen? Double check.

 

Avoiding any fights against non pvm clans in single? Refusing our SRI? Check.

 

Admitting to not being used to fighting on an 07 based server? 
Too used to divines and chaotics? (Even those don't save them there, join Peeks public discord to see why!)

 

PVMing out of confusion?


Killing random naked ironmen and telling them they're "smoked"? Lol??????


Very very very awkward. :/


Join #Peeks public discord to keep up with us and PM an official or above to discuss spying.

Maybe having our memberlist will help you lads not be so confused next time.
 

nice guide @Moral truth, also I don't know for anyone else, but your images have expired.

Presenting @Kaamea with his free sig Going to start giving away random free sigs during the week from comments on my showcases! Kaamea was the first, i hope you like it! Thank you for always supporting my works 

 

Here are also a couple of other pieces i've done

 

 

 

And finally - congrats @Kaamea

 

 

This past 2 weeks my in-game activity and my duties as a Global Moderator have been slacking. I did not feel I was doing enough to continue as a member of the team. Being active on the forums and assisting in the areas where we already have staff for does not make me feel like I was contributing anymore. I've been very stressed dealing with university as I've been out of college for 5 years, but have gone back to get that degree. 

 

I will plan to come back in then future when the time is right, but for now I will just be hanging around the forums/discord. The current staff team is perfect in my opinion, and the upcoming changes will be good as well. Alora has been definitely the best community I have gotten a chance to be a part of. 

 

Cheers to another 2 years for Alora.
