Swag & Panda

[Howiemandel01]

I miss the old days when Admins took "shifts" if you will, to play/monitor gameplay, and could kick/ban/suspend players instantly while gaming.

Most people didn’t have the time for that and strongly disliked doing it. It also requires a larger admin team which comes with its own issues. The system we have now, while not perfect, works well enough from our testing. Everything has pros and cons.

All this trouble started with Pregnancy-Gate 2024

Back in BF2’s prime I was part of an admin team for a server called FULLCONTACTWAR, and I basically ran the graveyard shift, and we had multiple admins covering the day shifts and night shifts. At our peak we had like 25 admins, and man the forum and teamspeak drama was nuts.

Y’all got a good system now, but there’s been a few times on the graveyard shift I wish y’all had an admin on bz3 and 6

Would be nice to have 24hr forum/discord coverage at the very least. Currently we don’t have anyone up at night though. It used to be me but I finally fixed my sleep schedule.

Yeah what helped us our server was located in Chicago, which at the time for some reason attracted a metric ton of euro players, a few of which I made admins to help with the coverage.

I still keep the same hours as I did back then but there’s just a severe lack of players in NA at the hose same hours, and I can’t think of any NA or Asia based player (that’s very regular) I’d trust with an admin role at night

I respect the attempt Covert…

I don't know if you were the individual Panda was talking about because I vaguely know "of" a few people that it may resonate with, but if it is, I wish nothing negative for you and I hope you find the help and happiness you need. You've always been super chill and personable with our interactions.

Are BigBag and Panda still going to play on the server?

We all like jokes but please have respect for the deceased during this trying time.

Swag being a giggle-fag in the background as usual. Come on in and explain yourself from June 5th's nonsense and you still never explained anything or made any clarifications on "baiting."

 

[BigBadBagOfSwag]

Do you want that signed or something?

 

[Covert]

Sure, I'll print it off and put it on my starbucks cup. When is your shift?

 

[BigBadBagOfSwag]

Nah, I don’t think you deserve it.

 

[Covert]

The customer is always right.

 

[BigBadBagOfSwag]

So how much?

 

[Covert]

Is the covfefe?

I unno. I'll even give a tip.

Being an admin is a thankless job. We will always be grateful to the time and effort that swag and panda put in but they have opted to step down.

This thread has more than run its course.
