Yes.. Somebody named Mesota came into the game the other day and banned everybody. I saw them say "/cmdbar" and then spam "BLEH" they were right next to me and I saw it. I said "Are you hacking..?" and they continued to try the command wit and without a /, and then I was briefly able to get in an "I'm scared.." before being banned. I couldn't get on for another hour.

What's worse.. I saw the admins the day before, all of them together.. they started spamming a buttload of burning leaves and messing around. I got it all on camera, in fact. They started spawning a buttload of gunpowder too, and the bits that didn't explode were scattered across one fourth of mainland.. I was there and I was able to collect it before any noobs could get their hands on it. When I began collecting the huge pile of burning leaves, they spammed more on my head and I was buried. When I got out, one of them killed me with a survival knife (instant-kill weapon that is only given out to admins and/or during the santa claus event)

However, I did notice that a particular admin named Bugslinger was especially active and especially responsible. When he got on during the admin's shenanigans, he did not join them but instead lurked around the rest of the game with invisible on, and then left. One time I tried to speedhack, and he caught me not moments later with the /freeze script (I didn't even know he was in the game) and said simply "Stop." Let's just say that put me in my place and I'll never speedhack again. (though I talked to him about Skill Hacking and he seemed chill with it)

We have to understand that admins aren't always responsible and they can't always be here for us but they still do their job as best as they can. The current admins are people Davidii knows and trusts and I think if anybody else were to.. say.. "Sign up" as admin, it could get out of hand.

I was part of an admin group once for this popular game, and the owner made somebody named Launch an admin. They knew each other well and passed all the requriements, but recently a thread began saying "Nobody make launch an admin ever again no matter HOW MUCH he requests it." by the owner of the game. I wasn't active while it happened, but I know it did. Somebody else he knew, a few weeks before, disbanded the entire group and we had to start over.

So, my point being I don't think we need new admins. We don't want to put the game in danger in it's already fragile hands.
