Honestly i couldn't care less about the squabbling between two factions of dinks - enemies can exist within teams, and I hope yall can learn how to make apologies and move on like the adults that pretty much everyone involved are. If this can't be achieved then there's no point in trying this.
I think that Laced has good points about what he went thru with Jack, and he has no obligation to throw his support due to that - but there is more to any story than what the headlines say, and I will say that we have staff who have done worse and come back. I think genuine points can be brought forth about a situation without having to straw man one's character - something that would have served well a year ago.
I will say that of the two factions, while I didn't take a side per say nor did I partake in any of the situations, I hang around the Dong/Jack group slightly more than the Laced group, but I feel I get along well with both sides. I am aware of this, but am trying to avoid bias - something I believe I've done well over time.
I've been away for long enough now that I don't care about what happens here. That being said, folks grow up over time, and Jack is one of the very few Dinks folks I've kept up with socially over time, 99% of which via fantasy football. I've seen nothing poor behavior wise from Jack over the past year other than really shitty football takes.
Due to a preponderance of all facts, including admin-only information that I will decline to share here from my time as admin, I believe the situation shouldn't be blocking Jack's entry onto the staff team. If any apologies need to be made, make them and move on.
Sounds like you may need a bit more time to settle in with how the servers are run today but given poor Chibill having to singlehandedly maintain the TTT community I think that's something that can pass over time with the community. For a Trusted position, I see no reason other than lack of familiarity with the TTT operations today - something that can be achieved with regular playtime over the course of this application's review period - and as such I will support Jack's addition to the team for Trusted.
