Staff Planning Thread

[Shlup]

No, Rantz, you fail. Fail at everything.

[Levian]

Seems like a good enough order than any to me.

ZX and eestlinc leaving early is believable because of their low activity, *snip* *snip* could leave early-ish because he's actually thinking about leaving too. That way he'll get to see how sucky his life is going to be as a Former Staff. Psychotic, Rye, L-BoB and Kishi should probably be the final 4.

[Shiny]

Anyone who has already quit before should be at the top of the list, so tuh and Levian being two of the earliest ones ordered would be believable.

[Del Murder]

Don't forget that quitter Amanda.

[Shlup]

I did quit, but I hated it.

[Roogle]

You're not leaving over drama, you're leaving because you don't care anymore with everyone else gone. Duh.

It just doesn't sound like something I'd do! I wouldn't even know how to act about it because people would ask me via instant messengers and IRC about what is going on, but, on the other hand, I do know how to speak like a public relations department.

[Del Murder]

Just say you left due to 'creative differences' and you wanted to 'go in a different direction'.

[Shlup]

Well obviously few of us would actually do this! It doesn't matter if you think you'd do it, it matters if the members think you'd do it. I think the members would believe this from you. You aren't a super active poster but you're into the chat and frontsite enough that people wouldn't believe you'd step down due to lack of interest in EoFF in general, but there's not much point of you being in here if everyone you like leaves.

You can't be one of the stayers! There can only be one! Or two if everyone insists on Kishi but I think Kishi should go.

[eestlinc]

I think Del should go right after me. And I think Psy should go early too, because he is an old fart now. But we need to make sure we don't act too obviously still moddish while we are "quit".

[Roogle]

Okay, you can just phase me out at some part, then.

[Wolf Kanno]

I would like to be one of the last, and I would find it amusing to see some of the remaining staff that are not Admins suddenly get the title. Just to see if people would cry in dread or joy if so and so became an Admin, we could even throw titles on some of the Site Staff to really throw them off (course no one like Tav or Baloki cause Raistlin would catch on and ruin the joke) I think it would also be funny to play with the whole "different direction angle" and maybe change a few things on the forum a day before we unveil its a joke. Course we should make silly threads about the changes in the Feedback forum or announcements.

We'd also need to make some of the early changes low key as well. I feel we should strive for total chaos here. It will be glorious...

[Psychotic]

I still think it'd be funny if we had like, Kanno and ZX as the only ones left. People wouldn't know wtf.

[Loony BoB]

Yes, I could totally see BoB going insane. Maybe by the end, when it's getting ridiculous and unbelievable, he could create a new faction of moderators called Town's Knights, who sign a .pdf contract that they will serve at least a year's term of moderation to keep stability within the forum, or something. xDDD

What? I wouldn't go insane. You people drive me insane! With you all gone, nobody could stop me from demoting the none of you that are still here when you go inactive!

EDIT: Fun fact - I actually have 'quit' once before. So anyone who says "He'd never" is wrong. I'd probably never again, though...

[Levian]

Allright, someone tell me if this is possible.

-I leave staff, say, Monday, or sometime next week.
-I make an announcement saying something like "It's hard core study time, folks. See you all in mid-June!"
-I'll get bumped to Former Staff and officially I'm On Leave, like foa.
-I never log into the Levian account again until April 1st when everything is revealed
-Let's face it, I'm not going to be able to keep away from EoFF for 1,5 months, especially not with FF13 coming up
-So I make a newbie account, say, Lightningstorm, so I can discuss FF13 and be active in General Chat.
-you guys *snip* Lightningstorm so I can see what you're up to.
-When April 1st comes, merge Lightningstorm and Levian.

Too Cuh-rayzee? Come on, it's not fun to do an april fools prank if we're not going to make it elaborate!

[Rantz]

Sounds good to me If anyone else wants to "leave" and go back to being a spammy newbie again I think it'll just add to it.
