When Sirken first transitioned from player to GM, believe it or not, he was not anything like the account perma banning, zero tolerance, evidently biased, raid scene micromanaging GM that we've witnessed recently.

Everyone needs to realize that he was the all-powerful master of this server for 7-8+ years. He wouldn't have done anything that he was rumored to have done had he any inkling that his authority would be taken away for it. That power clouded his judgment and he made some poor choices that cost him his hobby.

It's a simple case of "absolute power corrupts absolutely." I think putting anybody in such a position for an indefinite amount of time will eventually lead to this (see P99 historical track record of GM's).

One Possible Solution: Lead GM Term Limits (maybe 1 or 2 years) which would help prevent extreme personal biases from forming and help prevent burnout in our GMs.

All that said, I really do think Sirken did much better than many others would have done in his same shoes.

So hats off to him for the work and effort he put into the server and community.

HEDS

+1 on this for sure, especially the part about HEDS!

He did more good than harm, by a long shot.

I don't have to be smarter than anyone else to be right about that.

A cop was on the police force for 20 years, and arrested hundreds of people, but then they found out he was giving drugs from an evidence locker to his girlfriend, he was giving gangs insider info about when other gangs would be making deals, and he arrested anyone who said he was corrupt.

It's all okay because he arrested hundreds of people who were guilty though, right?

I like the analogy but wouldn't give said cop the death penalty.

Suspension and desk job, off the streets. Farva status.

Time for someone else to put up with that retarded raid scene anyway. Y'all seriously need a Zeelotin. Seeing all these smug cuckers actin all mighty, sophisticated and shit now that rules protect them... barf.

Hope Rogean does yank the system and Emperor Getsome brings in a new age.

This is the dumbest thing I've heard. He blatantly blackmailed guilds, made up reasons to raid ban a guild for MONTHS, summoned items to give to a chick who sent him titty pics, gave timers to multiple people for YEARS, and banned innocent people who brought up even the slightest accusation that he was corrupt.

This isn't some isolated incident where he made 1 bad decision and he can learn from it. He was actively corrupt, and made every move he could to cover the shady shit he has been doing for years. There is proof he was doing it, period. Stop defending the scumbag.

bravo good sir

are the tit pics confirmed?

this isn't the SATs, this is trump norrath.


McQuaid - loves coke
Rogean - claims 1/5 of donations on taxes, enjoys the sights of Bali and Tahiti
Sirken - gets boners sometimes
Derubael - Mexican pixel lord


there's no ethical propriety on p99. our ethics exist in a vacuum here.

that would all depend on a lot of things.

1. What kind of drugs? Tylenol?
2. What kind of deal info? Could it be the female only gangs planning to trade lipstick at a skate park?
3. What else was said other than corrupt? Did it include RL threats?
