Pointless comments.

Why does everyone have to make criticism over someone? Like you're a perfect human, oh please..
I have no idea where some people are trying to get with this, probably trying to show to owners that Roni isn't worth for the position? I don't see anyone else in this community that deserves that rank more then Roni. I also heard that he is spending a lot of time fixing the servers you play on while he has a job. Roni's attitude might not be perfect in some cases, maybe because of real life issues and that's why he has anger sometimes? I gotta say this is a gaming community and not some sort of government so instead of taking things too serious about something, re-think that the person you're talking to might not be having his/her best day? Even though he is mostly a great person. I don't know what Roni did since there is a bit of hate in the comments however those people should give him a chance and if he fails on his job owners can simply take actions? While i absolutely think he will grow and make the community stronger.

Afterall, i'm happy that Roni now has the chance to show himself more into the community and we all will be here while he makes it better/worse so just leave this thread alone and complain later.

Didn't have the chance to say, congratulation Roni and Santa.

Not unexpected but not a very wise choice. It feels like a forced promotion to me especially knowing RoNi's general attitude.

Don't get me wrong, he can be a very nice guy but he's not the type to sugarcoat his opinions, he posts what is on his mind at a time without thinking it too much through. It causes several issues and often he can't back off from his opinion after because it's simply too late.

Besides that, he's the type that when angry can really overreact things very badly and that even publicly, he's not the type of person you really want to talk to when he's mad and you can't expect his next course of action when he is. You have to wait for him to calm down but it's very hard to deal with him at the time and so he can cause things that will get people immensely pissed off.

That brings us to his leadership or management abilities, from what I've heard, Surf GG was left in a poor state and he basically told that it was up to Pim to fix it (from hearsay, if RoNi denies that, then I guess it's a he/she says kinda thing), I mean can you really respect and follow someone that leaves stuff up to you on a whim and may refuse to help you out, will you listen to someone that tends to overreact small stuff and acts in general very control hungry?

I haven't seen him really excel in solving issues either or well I've seen him create more issues than solve to be completely honest due to the aforementionned reasons. His english also may be a cause as he doesn't express himself well at times or it just doesn't come across as he intended due to the language barrier.

Additionally, I don't see the level headedness in RoNi that I see in other people. I see a hot headed person that gets mad too often and acts too much based on his feelings. I feel that when things don't go his way, he often rages and act in a way that is barely staff material, let alone CL material.

Yeah he works hard from time to time, yeah he's been here for years. But being an oldie and working hard does not mean you deserve or are ready for a promotion. Promoting someone to let him show he's capable isn't a very viable strategy either. People have to be capable before you promote them to eliminate any risk of issues coming up.

I do agree with certain points you made here and week back I had a conversation with Roni and when he asked me for a honest opinion / critique I said things of similarity. I do think it's a tad unfair though, to write him off immediately without giving him in a chance. Bear in mind, there is a trial period if things go wrong and secondly, some people indeed change with their responsibilities, myself included. I am a rude, immature asshole if you meet me on league (or any other non-ambrosia related thing), I just learned where to keep my act together. I do think Roni needs to work out on his public appearance and the way he tends to overreact (I even said that to him in our private conversation) - this however does not mean Roni cannot change for the better and personally I believe if Roni does try hard enough he can become a representative figure. He may have a long way to go, this however does not mean he can't possibly get there.

Hello Everybody,

Thank you for your comments everyone. I have to agree with your negative comments but this sort of thing happens to everybody. Well i do understand everybody here and believe me i know that i have some negative side's of me like i said before i can get mad really fast that's true i can be mean sometimes. But nobody is perfect as we all know everybody have some bad side's. I do agree my attitude its not the best but the only reason i am here is to make ambrosia a better place for every single one of you. And about my anger problems i am working to fix that and everybody is aware that i have anger problems, but believe me that i will always take a fair decision when it comes to the community. Ambrosia for me its my second life, everything that happens bad to ambrosia will affect me too. I am the guy who is stuck and addicted to ambrosia. Because its simple i love this community and the people that are here in this community. I will support any member that has any problem with anyone. I am not here to eat anyone or to destroy anybody. Like i said i am here to make this community a better place for every single person here, but you should also remember that we can not please everybody. Every human being in this world likes different things, everybody has different opinions and i respect every ones opinion. I will do my best to control my anger problems and i will do everything for this community to be good. But please give me sometime to prove my self i just got this rank yesterday.

Thanks for reading.

I understand your concerns maki regarding your opinion on Roni and I too was doubtful at first. However, I spoke to Roni a couple of days ago about some issues he was dealing with and I felt that he handled the situation ok. He accepted my comments and took onboard the the advice I gave him.

Some people are already made for leadership roles through experience gained in work and real life experiences but others need tutoring and I believe Roni is the latter. However, in saying this we all have to start somewhere and this opportunity should provide Roni with more challenges than ever and he will have to grow with it.


I've never been a fan of promoting people prior to showing themselves ready. It's counterproductive. It brings a lot of backlash to the person when people actually knew he wasn't ready.

Don't get me wrong, taking gambles is alright sometimes but I just don't see the necessity here, besides that, can we really come to say the promotion was necessary? There was no need to rush it out and testing out someone in the hopes he turns out alright can go sour very quick. Heck, we've seen multiple cases of those where people got it when they shouldn't have gotten it and problems ensued. The tutoring has to be done before, not after.


I do agree with certain points you made here and week back I had a conversation with Roni and when he asked me for a honest opinion / critique I said things of similarity. I do think it's a tad unfair though, to write him off immediately without giving him in a chance.

He may have a long way to go, this however does not mean he can't possibly get there.



I'm judging his general behaviour that is fairly recent that has shown clear signs of him being unready and I'm writing him off based on that. People should, to say it once again, only be promoted when he has the capacities to handle the new position and not before. I don't see why you're talking about yourself since you quite clearly already knew how to control yourself and act before you got promoted which isn't the case here and even you seem to admit to it.

I'm not saying he'll never fit, almost anyone could fit with effort, motivation and time but you should generally wait until that time passes or guide him until he's there and not hope for the best after the person got promoted. It's not surprising quite a few promotions turned out sour if you adapt this kind of protocol.

Anyway, I'll leave it at that. I've given my opinion, there's no need to keep arguing here. You know where to find me if you want to talk.

Good luck to both of you.

every promotion topic there's those pointless people who just start the fire and want to start an argument because they feed off it,  if you don't like so and so getting promoted, tough luck, deal with it.

if you've got nothing nice to say, then keep it to yourself.

He's an oldie
He works hard, don't you think there've been desicion made on that class of his, even without these 2 points? He at least has them ;)

I can fully assure you that he will do well at his position and won't rage quit cause there are kiddies in the community.

Congrats to your new rank Santa + Roni, don't let us down =)


PS Maki don't get anything wrong. You left an impression behind to me which wasn't that "NICE" even though you have the good reasons which I don't know due inactivtiy or due the fact they were between you and the staff. But as I said, I go with the facts I've seen and judge on that.

I'll some up Maki's comments with a tag.

#CocaineeforCL  8)

I'm sure Roni would be determined to prove you wrong and improve on those aspects you've mentioned.
Do not be rude in speech. Restrain Anger. Be good to others. Do not be arrogant. Forgive others for their mistakes. Speak to people mildly. Do not ridicule one another. Do not say a word of disrespect to your parents. Do not follow anyone blindly. Grant more time to repay if the debtor is in hard times. Do not engage in bribery. Do not break promises. Stand out firmly for justice. Women also have the right for inheritance. Protect orphans. Do not consume one another’s wealth unjustly. Try for settlement between people. Avoid assumption. Do not spy and backbite. Spend wealth in charity. Help those in need by finding them. Speak to the needy kindly. Honour your guests. Be dutiful towards your parents. Practice what you preach. Stay away from corruption. Fight only with those who fight you. Keep striving. There is no compulsion in religion. Choose rulers by their merit. Do not burden a person beyond his scope. Do not become divided. Men and Women have equal rewards for their deeds. Do not be miserly. Do not be envious. Do not be an advocate for deceit. Stay away from sin and aggression. Be just. Avoid intoxicants and alcohol. Do not gamble. Do not insult others’ deities. Eat and Drink, But Be Not Excessive. Protect and help those who seek protection. Allah will forgive those who have done wrong out of ignorance. Invitation to God should be with wisdom and good instruction. Do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge. Keep aloof from what is vain. Do not enter others’ houses without seeking permission. Walk on earth with humility. Judge with justice between people. Do not neglect your portion of this world52. Enjoin right, forbid wrong. Do not walk in insolence through the earth. Women should not display their finery. Do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Decide on affairs by consultation. The most noble of you is the most righteous. Act justly to people of all faiths. Seek forgiveness of Allah. He is Forgiving and Merciful.

well maki if i remember, you did't accept some criticism in an old promotion topic when you were FM, you were always saying it is not "the right place for this or that" , well again ill say it to you it is not the right place for what you said. emperors made their decision, i think it is well deserved, and yes we aren't all perfect , but he did a lot for this community, before you come and after, am sorry but oldie does matter a lot, proof,; we still here , and others just left, why is that ? we just love this community, we still loyal, we argue , we joke, we talk, we fight, but we are here, in the good moments, and in bad moments
again well deserved guys

Now.. RoNi

In my opinion i believe that he's not ready for that position because the job of the Community Leader is to Listen and act. and i believe that the current RoNi cannot Listen even if he's Wrong or not sure about some subject or discussion.

Note: I'm not saying this because i hate RoNi for banning me from TS3 server , i'm not the first and surely not the last who got banned for that reason.
