User:Warwick/Userpage Statement

This wiki is dying, not only because of our dwindling userbase, but also because the wiki itself has had nothing new to comment on. The game itself is dead, because its almost never updated anymore.

Sure, the occasional skill "balance" (aka the latest skill stupid-nerf and stupid-buff), and sometimes little things like M.O.X., but the game itself is dying. Too many bad decisions, having people who are bad at the game as the balancers.. You get the picture.

Auron can be an asshole, he can be rude about getting his point across, but hes right. The wiki is dying. But you could also say that the wiki is "Completing". There's nothing new for us to add. But thats optimistic crap, so we won't Value it. :P.

Entropy asked me to wait for her to get online yesterday, so we could talk about my rfa, etc, why it was closed. Some interesting points were made. I asked Entropy precisely why she decided to close it, especially saying that we both knew it was going to happen from the start. One of the reasons she gave was that "people would ragequit the wiki if I was sysoped". Shadowcrest has stated that he would not leave, Shadowphoenix is already rather inactive, and Auron recently raged because MENDEL was sysop'd. I can't see any proper reason that mendel would make a bad sysop. He's almost never had a proper conflict with anyone. That just proves that Auron can be immature at times. Or maybe he's just sick and tired of this wiki. Who knows.

As well as that, I asked Entropy what she probably would have done if I'd been judged on myself over the last 6 months. She replied that she probably would have sysop'd with "why not?" as the reason. I believe that several people, Entropy included, said that my rfa didn't have enough "Why I should", and that "Why not?" wasn't a valid reason for adminship. Let's take Isk8 for instance. He was, no offense intended, less qualified than I am. He's also inactive now. The reason given with his promotion was, in fact... "Why not?". :|

As well as that, when you actually consider the points in my favor, I think that people were basing past reasons over whats now. The past will always exist, so let it go. Truthfully, I've been slightly disheartened about the wiki by this, but hey. It's wiki. Srs bsns and all.

Anyway, we're hosting a party tonight, so I have to go help get everything prepared, in case anyone was wondering where I was and why I don't respond. I'll write more to my point when I don't have my mum yelling for me to come help.

Oh, and to Entropy, if there's something there you asked me not to say, I truly apologize. I couldn't remember what it was you asked me not to say, but I don't think it was any of those. If it was, I am earnestly sorry. :<
