for whatever reason i hit an unknown key on my keyboard with my fat ass fingers and posted as soon as i started
Anyway, I stopped playing primarily because I felt I reached the furthest I was probably ever going to go in terms of replaymaking, technical knowledge of Toribash, and staff experience. I felt there was not much left for me in this game and decided to take my leave, only occasionally hopping on to say some dumb shit in a discord server or to make a replay or two, which aren't nearly as good as the ones I made in roughly February - about July, after that I fell off.
I can't blame the community or its staff for driving me away, because it didn't, but I have my gripes. Some of the members of the community are unbearably self-centered and extremely annoying to read and/or listen to, pushing their ideas and/or beliefs(I wonder who I'm referring to) onto you when man all I wanna do is click some fucking balls. Some of the staff adopt the "we know better" mentality and completely disregard what your average user thinks, sometimes making poor decisions with their applicants, for example. A couple are/have been straight up incompetent and it makes you wonder what the fuck they were on when they thought bringing these people in was a good idea in any capacity.
Edit: But in light of that, I feel it's fair to mention there are also a lot of staff members currently that I very much respect for their reasonable contributions and their ability to listen and understand what the problems are and come up with reasonable fixes for them, so it's not all doom and gloom.
I figured for fun (and because I have massive testicles) I would make a short list talking about Toribash staff additions I thought were problematic, and staff members I think are exceptionally great:
Melon - Super incompetent and immature.
Chick - same issue I have with Melon, but except doing even less. I expressed my concerns about this applicant when they originally applied (I resigned shortly after) and no one cared to take my concerns seriously.
Milf/Malfunction - A little before my time, but this guy was a complete clown.
mwah (the second time around) - Not really sure how I could convey it, mwah just kinda sucked all around.
Fox/Parrot - I like the guy, but he was always inactive, and I never felt he should keep the role due to his unpredictability, however when he
did make time to do staff things, he did reasonably good.
Ancient - Also a cool guy, but maaan was he immature.
tabby (myself) - I was brought into staff when I was 12-13, lied about my age and leaked shit relatively often. I was a pretty terrible pick and carried a couple times before going on long periods of activity. When I was active I was good, when I wasn't I was terrible.
Sucy/Chiya/regotten/Toph/phish - get out of my dms ape
Swosh - "tabby host

"
Typhon - All around great guy, super competent and super passionate about his work.
ed - Been staff for forever, and I have nothing but nice things to say. Very great SMod and an even better lead, super assertive when necessary but always easy to bring things to.
sir - good
tabby - im fucking epic
Hikou - Was pretty much the best you could've asked from a HS member when that position was a thing. Completely new to the position and staffing as a whole yet was one of the best HS members I remember.
Divine - I always had a strong imprint this guy was an R Word shitposter, similar to Demon. However I was pleasantly surprised by how well he handled his positions.
Zeus - It's a shame this guy was added a bit late into Toribash's lifecycle, because this guy is fantastic.
Swosh - Super friendly and competent, never had a bad interaction with the guy. him being on offline all the time was very imposing tho and i heard he was a kinda bad ES member sometimes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
None of this matters, I saw a discussion about staff and how bad it is and wanted to give my own personal thoughts on who specifically I thought was bad but I also wanted to be fair by recognizing the talents of those I personally thought were great. It's inevitable that I missed people for both lists but you know who you are, probably.
