New staff promotions

[Moritzva]

Though, we really do have a lot of staff members now.

I suppose the next Drive will be more promotions to Admin than new recruits, if that's true.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Details shouldn't be talked about too publicly, but I'll just say there is some feedback from a few current staff about recruitment drives being faster than usual. I'm happy for each and every promotion here, but I at least see points from that feedback.

 

[Antvasima]

Well, a lot of the old staff have been busy IRL, and I need lots of help with the daily maintenance of the wiki.

After the current calc group recruitment survey, I don't think that there will be much more of this for a while though.

After the current calc group recruitment survey

*starts frantically doing more calc evaluations*

 

[Antvasima]

The only way to get recruited to the calc group is to do calculation blogs oneself that can be evaluated.

Huh. I could have sworn someone told me that commenting on calcs helps improve your case on the matter.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

I have made multiple calculation blogs, and I do evaluate calcs from time to time, but I don't always have time to make calculation blogs. Evaluate other blogs on the other hand is something I don't mind looking at regularly.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

I don't mind it either. I've made quite a few calculations, although I've been spending more time evaluating than calculating recently.

 

[Antvasima]

You can suggest yourself as a calc group member candidate if you wish.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

As much as I'd like the position, nominating myself strikes me as a bit pretentious. If any of our other staff or calc team think I'd be a good addition I wouldn't mind helping out with evaluations.

 

[Antvasima]

We have an official thread for this: https://vsbattles.com/vsbattles/278323

 

[Antvasima]

Anyway, I have added you as a future candidate. Thank you for helping out.

Boi if only you suggested yourself like 4-5 days ago...

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

I think a few people have suggested me back in 2018, but as I said. I'd probably be more in line to how Kaltias treated the position; in where he declined the offer, but was given permission to approve calculation blogs.

[Antvasima]

That is still a tad excessive, just like I told you previously. If you are trolling, it is inappropriate to do so.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

That looks like a shaken up beer bottle that's getting reactive due to what happens when people shake beer or soda, but some people could see that as an innuendo. I agree that stuff like that might want to be avoided; though I don't think he's trolling. More so just didn't know better.

 

[DarkGrath]

I very highly doubt they were intentionally trolling; I wasn't even aware of the innuendo until Medeus pointed it out.

 

[Antvasima]

I meant that the reaction in the gif is exaggerated, so since he did the same thing recently in another thread, I thought that he was being sarcastic.

 

[DarkGrath]

Ah, right.

Well again, I'm doubtful that was intentional either.

 

[Andytrenom]

I feel like you're looking too much into things Ant

 

[Antvasima]

You are probably correct. Sorry.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

It's probably fine then.

 

[Nepuko]

That's a common gif used in Discord to congratulate someone, so really it's fine.

 

[The_Wright_Way]

Agreed. Just an overreaction. The gif is fine.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. My apologies.

 

[N_Kardashev]

Well that was quite the buzzkill

 

[Antvasima]

Sorry.
