I kind of figured that I am not the most known person on this network so this is should help I guess. I am also the head of the social media team. I will also skip the "What do you think of me" questions because I don't know most of you.  Hope I get more than one question >.>

to what extent do you believe the official team is disorganized, and what would you change if you were head of officials (which i hear isn't a thing right now...)

What shower soap do you use?

vladthegreat100 May 6, 2017 at 4:05 AM UTC

Pantene or Head & Shoulders?

Dove Men's Body Wash. It makes my skin not look Australian.

"to what extent do you believe the official team is disorganized"
To the point where the only part that didn't completely fail was the referee section of the team. Which is kind of the most useless part of the Official Team. 
If I was head Official first comes to the demotion process. Inactivity would go first. People who don't know what they are doing but are willing to learn would be salvageable. Either get rid of screen sharing or make sure every Official knows how to do it from the heart so they can do them as professional as possible. Make playing as an Official unallowed. This problem has gone on for way too long and it is crippling the team. You have one Official and probably the most experienced one out of the group pissed when he has no help. Plus maps should be set on gameplay before they are announced and minor edits would be highly announced. I did hear there were last minute edits and do not know if they are true or not but you can't do that. The last thing would probably be the easy thing and that would be looking back at the last 5-6? tournaments and pinpointing everything that went wrong and why it went wrong. We then have plans to fix the mistakes if they happen in the future tournaments. You can't fix everything but well-prepared Officials look like the best officials. Then, of course, tournament day happens. I would sadly do a DTM tournament for the fact that the community is built on it and is an easy tournament to test a new team on. It may not be the best for advertising but I rather learn out the kinks before tournament 2 where we do a great gamemode like DTC or something. I can go on and on about what I could do but that is a bit of the picture.

That's like asking do you want bleach or disappointment in a bottle. 
Disappointment in a bottle AKA Head & Shoulders

what are your opinions on the amazing mapdev team!

The map dev team is pretty isolated from the rest of the server, to be honest. Yes, you guys come on the server once and a while and set some maps but the interaction is very minimal. I am a sole believer that if this server is to get anywhere, it will be because of the map dev team. This means the roles of you guys must be bigger to the extent you are well versed in the building community, More events is a sure and easy way to get you guys closer to the community and get tons of new maps. Look at dev_revs event. That generated 8 CTW maps in a span of a month. You guys need events to keep your server alive and to get people happy to play here. 
Another issue is the direction you guys are going. I really don't get what direction it is if you guys want any direction at all. I really don't believe I will be explaining this well but you seem to go on steps 4,5 and 6 when 1,2 and 3 need a bit more work before you move on. I can explain more tomorrow.
Fuck forgot the animal part. Pandas cause they are so fucking adorable.

Every official is allowed to screenshare, they all have a guide. We ask them to screenshare, they say 'no, idk how to' when they have a guide.

"Do you love to eat food?"
More of an alcohol person myself 
"

Not a huge fan
"

2.3
"

Vanilla is always a nice flavor 
"
Have a nice day!"
And to yourself as well.

It's obvious that your Officials are not well versed in the art of screen sharing. As stupid as that sounds it's true. Get them to screen share each other before a tournament. Anyone would know that a little guide will not help them in the fact they are going to be shared shitless to do it once.

Don't know them well enough or what they do.
"

Not the best but not the worse. They aren't killing the server at all so I don't mind them.
"

Pie is always my babe. He just seems very unmotivated at the moment to do Admin duties. Fouled is meh. Posighdun needs to go through a PR service before he speaks on issues on the server.
 "
- The current builder applications?"
Don't know who applied but one person and I would recommend the person on any application. >.>

"Opinions on the DEV team"
Kashike and yourself make a great team.

"Atom or Sublime"
Both mean the same thing, to be honest. They are new gadgets helping newer people out. Code on Notepad and hope you don't crash a whole website takes away enough years of life to make you understand Javascript or HTML.

All anyone asked for was a guide. If they want to organise a practice session, sure we can sort that out. That was never asked for.

Don't really have anything against the moderator team. There are some that fuck over the good mods but you guys aren't really halting the server in process, nor are you guys making a huge difference.
