lol I want my 13 minutes and 12 seconds back.
Yall do know @ Mako is a person right? Yall talk about him like he’s an object you can just toss around. I’m addressing all this once and once only.
1. Olympus+ and some of the things that came with it in its originating release was something I brought up when I first got the server. It became a dead idea that had no guidelines. Mako made his own idea of Olympus+ and quite frankly has been more than passionate about creating new ideas for the community to enjoy. If Oly+ was all about filling our pockets and about the money, then truth be told I’d sell this server to one of the multiple 5+ figure offers I’ve been given. Only reason I haven’t is because I openly said I do not want Olympus to die, and selling to make a quick buck would do exactly that. Or even put up the advertisement on billboards that certain brands tried to buy on our server (some from people actively playing in the community). In which is very much appreciated, it was something I said no to because those brands aren’t something I’m ok with advertising knowing the age range of people that play on here. @ Ebzekro is definitely an important person to Olympus, and everything he has done has been very much appreciated, however the majority of the money he has spent on Olympus has been under McDili/Peters Ownership, not mine nor does he fund our expenses lol. Old news, do more research. The only time I ever was ok with shutting down Olympus was when the server literally exploded when I first took ownership of it @ Millennium is an expert of this era but after that it’s all been jokes. That was the one and only time Mako has convinced me to keep pushing forward.
2. The reason why it is my IP on all platforms is cause… it is me… (which btw everything everyone does, even looking at my profile in AdminCP is logged so you mentioning it alone throws that staff member under the bus if true ). Not that it’s really anyone’s business here, but the reason I haven’t been around as much and have been keeping it short and sweet is because I’ve been dealing with some recent health issues, and have been in and out of hospitals these last few months, so naturally this is the last of my concern when I have a competent team that can run things in my absence, in which the senior staff have been notified of, so again… do your research.
3. I was one of the founders of #BlameMilo, and to this day am a @ Milo hater. So for you to say I’m out of touch on one of the things I started shows bad journalism, again… do your research.
4. Community members, more recently after the conquest update, have messaged me in regards to the concern of certain things related to not listening to civ council, in which I replied to and have went down the chain to make a fix. If you asked the proper questions, you would have known this.
5. The people in leadership have been around since the Stone Age of Olympus… shit @ Grandma Gary himself is basically retirement home status. These guys countlessly trying to stay motivated to give you all a better experience, and yeah they might make mistakes but that’s also because everything Olympus does going forward is new to us. If you all deem it necessary we can reduce 95% of their stress and do shitty bug fix updates and not push anymore content, but all that would do is put us in the same position as other current communities.
6. @ Toretto and @ stayclaxxy are 2 dudes that work a big boy job and come home to play/work on Olympus purely for their enjoyment and care for the community and quite honestly have taken up a lot here. Anyone that argues against that are hard trolling.
7. Last and final thing… the dono goal literally advertises a server wide event. Events like this usually have involvement by me. All things you would know if you… did your research
I probably missed some other points in this video, but these were the main ones I wanted to address anyway
TLDR for everyone else, Olympus Times needs to work on their research and asking the proper questions to continue being a credible news source. Maybe then I’ll finally agree to be on one of these as I don’t interview for CNN 2.0
