    Hi there! My name is Mistri and I'm your host for this month's edition of Dentril's New Moon.

    Unfortunately, this month we once again don't have a letter from the co-lead or a development corner due to Navarr being on temporary leave because of personal issues. However, many of the developers have been giving public info to put in the New Moon, so hopefully this makes up for it! Without further ado, I present this month's updates!

    Updates
    Network Updates
    In celebration of Halloween, from this Friday until this Monday for a 2x Shotbow XP multiplier and all classes unlocked in public games of Annihilation! We will also be hosting sandbox events, including new maps!

    MineZ Updates
    The MineZ PTR is now open so players can get a sneak peek at the upcoming changes to MineZ. Help us test bugs and new features! The full announcement and changelog can be found here.

    We also have a thread for you to report bugs and suggest features, which can be found here.

    So, then you become ANNI admin?

    Is it odd that like, not that well known people or those whom speak their mind/be honest, don't become mini-admin/admin?

    Just a quick notice... :) :heart:

    Edit: See post later placed, this post isn't supposed to be taken serious.

    I find it quite funny how when we recruit admins that are well-known members of the community, people say "Wow, Shotbow only hiring the popular people", but when they're not very well-known, we get people who say "I've never heard of him, which means he's a bad admin"...

    Anyway, just because someone is very good at a particular game on Shotbow and is known for that, doesn't mean they don't play any other games. It's like assuming that the only game everyone on Shotbow plays is Minecraft. We all do different things, whether or not we show it, and you can't assume otherwise.

    Am I missing something, I play anni mostly and you guys all say he doesn't so why is he staff on annihilation and not minez? We even have an admin apparently claiming I said he's a "bad admin" after I make a statement that a lot of people agree with it in the anni community because I did ask around before hand to find out he's known for wacky dungeon runs. I have no idea if he's good at annihilation no mind being staff but that's just it, he doesn't actively play annihilation.
    I'm not saying he can't be admin or anything but when apps aren't even open for staff, higher up's have being only hand picking their friends for staff and that is in no way the best way to pick the most qualified people.

    I don't think you read my message:
    If you're not trying to say he's a bad admin, what is the point of your post? You're saying he's unqualified to be an admin, and in my mind that's saying that he's a bad admin. Am I wrong?

    You do not have to actively play Annihilation in order to be an admin. Why would that make any sense? Your only job as an admin is to patrol and ban hackers with an unbiased approach. Please tell me how playing Annihilation helps with that. As long as you understand all the game mechanics, which all Annihilation admins are required to, you can be an admin.

    Omyon is not a "friend" of higher ups, nor are most admins. How could you possibly claim that if you've never heard of him, like you said yesterday? Seems like you're just salty that you're not an admin.

    Pardon me, was quite late and very tired. The stuff posted was quite funny, therefore I reacted like that. Wasn't supposed to do any harm towards anyone. I would like to revoke the posted message. Since it is quite unclear, and wasn't supposed to be serious.

    @Omyon, no hard feelings. Ya got unlucky that I picked you to talk about. Sorry! :heart:

    Before I respond to the other posts: I'm uncertain how far we should take this discussion. Since there is evidence of nepotism regarding few / a lot old staffers (from minis to admins), or current. Also regarding certain staffers getting an admin+ rank whilst they used to DDos people, or worse...

    So all in all... Shotbow, aka its staffers, tries to do her best for the community. And sometimes it takes a lot longer than it is supposed to... Well, sh*t happens :). Like I said, there's enough evidence to create drama, however. That's something I think is not going to solve anything.

    Just joking :heart:
    ------

    If you have only yes-sayers, you won't be getting far either. I recall enough moments where minis were shut due to even asking particular questions... Different topic: sometimes when something is going wrong, IMO you should publicly state it (community openness) *cough* tourney *cough* :heart:.

    ------



    Please understand that we're dealing here with young people, often not that understanding of the damage they can do with their words. I hope Shotbow can see the difference between those whom react to offend and those that try to improve Shotbow.

    ------





    See first paragraph, my apologize.

    ------

    No hard feelings Mistri, but actively playing ANNI, and becoming admin for it kinda makes sense. Same would be actively playing MineZ and patrolling there. So goes for being able to draw / being good at it, and helping out at the Art team.

    Anyway, just saying that it kinda makes sense, not that he can't become it :).

    ------

    C'mon Mistri, you're better than that.

    ------




    If you disrespect the person that disrespects you, via anything. How to expect it to respect you when you react back like this? Does it really always have to be: an eye for an eye?

    ------

    To close off, please understand that I - as a player - have been waiting for so much. For so long. DDG finally to roll stuff out with Shotbow. Gold Rush to be released, or actively being play tested. The tourney to be held-this wasn't staffs fault, but the clans however we should've been done with it. And so on, I love playing on Shotbow, and playing with the people that I've met or going to meet. But with each month passing by, not just me but a lot more, are starting to care less and less... Please :) :heart:

    PS: again, no hard feelings towards anyone

    It is known that we had a sharp decline after summer. This is because of continuous attacks on the network with bots where Annihilation games were either too laggy to play or unjoinable. As you can see if you go on the network right now, you can join Annihilation games just fine, and as long as we aren’t under a massive ddos attack like we stated on our twitter, most games wont lag.

    Id attribute some of that decline to the constant teamstacking issue which should have been addressed last spring.

    We did not see such a decline until the attacks started. When the attacks started it was a very sharp decrease in playercount. That’s not caused by team stacking.

    So teamstacking is not an issue?
