Correction: I didn't hire people who aren't far beyond capable of the job. Nor was it entirely my decision. The people who became admins, Horace, Ocelot, Lysander, Kenzie, Arys, Cappy, Tito, Shotty, and CheekyWarrior I did not speak with to any degree before they were admins. Top I only knew from Lonelyhearts, who was also an admin on East and Trojan. There is absolutely no grounds to your claims - I literally did not speak to a single NA Nexus admin a lot until after they were made admins.
I'm not going to go accept all sorts of crappy admins so they can spawn gear for their buds and have horrifying habits and abuse their powers. I suffered through all of that for nearly 3 years.
What the 'critics' seem to forget is all of NA Nexus' accomplishments towards the benefit of PW as a whole. 200 concurrent players on an NA server. Literally no admin abuse. Consistent server uptime (up until Peasant's DoS attacks in November). Regular scene changes. Effective forum complaint solving. And most importantly - giving North American PW players a stable environment to play under that does not experience rapid power shifts and large scale cyber-warfare.
But no, that wasn't enough for some people. Some people wanted influence, power, control. So they decided to take some underhanded actions to bring Nexus down - congratulations. You depopulated the (as of now) last stable NA server with the largest populations PW has ever seen, all so you can type in a password and have admin powers for your own good.
