#33  Those are good suggestions, D. We could do any of that. The best suggestion I can come up with right now is working with Raist and Bleys's complaints about lack of professionalism among the staff. We could divide into members that think staffing should be fun, and those that thinks its a responsibility, pretend we argued about this for awhile, then one of us "fun" staffers does something public that "pisses off the more professional staffers" and that causes an uproar. That's the best I came up with so far. |

| Former Staff  | Haha, that'd be cool. 'Serious versus fun', I mean. We've definitely got our own reputations in that regard, we could go to extremes without anyone getting suspicious. It kind of happens already, sometimes, just not in the wildly dramatic way we'd need to invent for this gag to work. I'm all in favour. People seem to think I've been behaving differently lately, so it'd be fun to see which side of the 'serious/fun' divide I fall on. |

| Administrator  | We must get Raistlin to believe everything. I want him to make a massively long LJ entry talking about it. Possible scenarios: 1) Disagreements over the swear filter. The Staffers who haven't replied to Raistlin's thread actually want more swear words to be allowed. 2) I want to unban Baloki (which would make him the first of his kind to actually be unbanned - the only other that I know of is The Model Citizen, who wasn't unbanned but merely re-registered after a board change and we never bothered to ban him again), and we're all split on the decision. 3) We just don't tell anyone what's going on, other than 'we had some disagreements and some Staff decided to step down.' This would probably be the easiest to pull off, but most boring. 4) Some Staffers want to ban ed, Raistlin, Kane and a couple of other members (maybe Doomgaze, Bleys or something) that they think the other Staffers are being too lenient to. We could actually go ahead and ban them just to make things more interesting.  Although that would probably cause more of an uproar.  5) Cid wants to make the brown theme the ownly theme at EoFF. Many Staffers would rather die than see this happen, so they step down in protest. 6) We get some members in on the act and have them start a revolt against the existing Staff. I personally like this idea the most, provided we can get someone like Bleys in on it. We would only need a couple of members to be in on it and others would probably join their 'cause' anyway. xD 7) Unne could ban ed over something fairly minor (ed being stupid, Unne having enough of ed, etc.) and we could easily start a civil war with that one. 8) We could ban one of us, saying that we'd posted porn. That could be amusing. xD We could say it was posted in the Staff Forum, and then the rest of us could debate over whether or not posting porn in the Staff Forum is a bannable offence since we break so many rules in here anyway. 9) The debate over 'fun' and 'serious' reigns on to an extreme, with the Staff getting really edgy and whatnot. 10) Big D's idea of the public debate between two or more staffers over things. Maybe even a bun, unban, ban, unban of someone's account. That could be amusing. It's also notable that right now I have a vB which isn't really being used. If we want to take it really far, we could set up a new FF site and see how many people 'convert'. xD |

Didn't you guys do the unbanning thing last year? It wouldn't be funny. Plus Baloki sucks. 3) We just don't tell anyone what's going on, other than 'we had some disagreements and some Staff decided to step down.' This would probably be the easiest to pull off, but most boring. Yeah, boring. 4) Some Staffers want to ban ed, Raistlin, Kane and a couple of other members (maybe Doomgaze, Bleys or something) that they think the other Staffers are being too lenient to. We could actually go ahead and ban them just to make things more interesting. Although that would probably cause more of an uproar. I like this one. 5) Cid wants to make the brown theme the ownly theme at EoFF. Many Staffers would rather die than see this happen, so they step down in protest. I LOVE this one. 6) We get some members in on the act and have them start a revolt against the existing Staff. I personally like this idea the most, provided we can get someone like Bleys in on it. We would only need a couple of members to be in on it and others would probably join their 'cause' anyway. xD This is fine, but I don't like Bleys being in on it. 7) Unne could ban ed over something fairly minor (ed being stupid, Unne having enough of ed, etc.) and we could easily start a civil war with that one. Sounds cool. 8) We could ban one of us, saying that we'd posted porn.

This one would be fun.  Another idea maybe: Cid could say he can't afford to keep this place up anymore, and one of us on staff (a knight preferably) offers to pay for all of it. They get promoted to head admin and Cid steps down since he no longer owns the place. The new admin does fine for a day or two, but then starts messing things up and gets power hungry and bans a few people. It probably wouldn't work out that much, but it sounded like a good idea in my head. |
