The staff system

[GeorgeTheBoy]

The problem with the current system (imo) is that it gives people who are friends with admins a huge advantage. I'm not saying that anyones being biased at all, its just a fact that you are much more likely to be noticed and put forward.

I'm not saying the current system is bad at all, it works well, I just think a hidden application system (only viewable by staff) would be a useful addition and would allow players to make themselves known.

You say it as if we ask friends who have never played Fearless before to hop on once and receive a staff position. Of course people we're friends with tend to get staff positions. They are usually the good roleplayers who cause the least amount of drama and are the most helpful. That's why the staff befriend them in the first place.

We aren't going to promote those we don't get along with as that won't make for a very functional team. That's not to say we ONLY promote those players who we know well on a friend-like basis. I didn't know many of the more recent staff very well but went off their records and what the other staff members had to say. 

Stop using the "omg admins only promote their friends" argument - it's so badly flawed it makes me laugh.
