Im sorry ambrosia, but after so many years this is not that respectful and prestigious community where is an honour to hold a rank. Now you give a rank just because he can do something that others don't? He been here like a year?
It might seem unfair but honestly, coders are rare to come across in a gaming community, and even rarer are those that are willing to give out their services for free. Without coders, there would be little to no improvement on the servers and as such, their skills are valued and they'll be rewarded quicker by a better position or such. Additionally, I don't think the argument of time really weights a lot here or should even matter, some people are more competent than others, do a better work and thus may get promoted quicker, it's really all about what you can bring to the community and if you actually accomplish what you promise. Heck, that's the same that happens in real life and it'll be a hard reality if you aren't getting used to it already.
Not only that, but he actually needed that rank to do improvements which he actually wanted to do since a while although I think that the access he has now been given should've been given to him prior to that.
Arrogant and filthy. If you are his friends like me or todo - were, then be sure that you will be wasted when there will be no more use of you.
Whilst being arrogant might come in the way of his work, he's still under the Emperors and they can put him back up in his shoes. Aside from that, it feels like you're adding your personal issues with him into the discussion and I think that's something you should fix with him and not bring them here or just perhaps just ignore each other.
This is not the place like it was. Look ali norway and csa. Ali n was just another arrogant c* who luckily have left, but now we HAVE a bunch of guys who bought their ranks so easy. Then we have guys with a skill and superb behaviour. Then we have guys who came from other communities when they have abandoned ambrosia. Look now ambrosia. You can see your leader in the spotlight. This guy gonna lead you into sunny and shiny space called rank1 server worldwide, just like community, the banlist, statsme and webpage..
This is a gaming community, rare are the people that will display a perfect attitude with an amazing skillset. You really have more chance to get hit by thunder than finding one of those people here. Due to that, compromises have to be made and people need to be recruited even if they have blatant flaws and try over time to perhaps refine them enough for them to be close to what you actually want them to be.
I highly doubt putting CC into a Comunity Leader position will get Ambrosia to rank 1, no one can bring a community this far alone, however I see him as a motivated person and you can't deny that his coder abilities are needed so I'm sure it'll be a step forward. He definitely has an attitude out of the line at times but that's not something that can't be worked on so I think it's worth giving him a chance to show what he has to bring with what additional access and responsibility he has been given.
Congrats.
