I think both of these responses/questions are fair sorry about ur rep Tea and likely the 2 main sticking points of this app. 

i dont want to relitigate the past but since you would be deciding on these things, what is your opinion on the big drama that happened a couple months ago?

I want to be clear. There is a reason I did not comment much/dive into the drama at the time.

One reason was I spent my time focusing on keeping the server alive. I convinced friends to come play who had not played on our server before. And did my best to kick start the server pretty much every day for over a week back in April. At the time the server was dead and it took me and a few other dedicated players to get it going each day. (often times playing with 4-8 players for most of the day). 

The second and much better reason was each time I read a post I had nothing constructive or beneficial to add. Pretty much every response was hinting at or referencing some behind the scenes screenshot, comment, or action. I did receive summaries of situations, but all of them were from people very deeply involved. If you gave me the set of facts being presented by one side I would agree that probably the other side was unhinged and should be excised from the community, but I never had access to those facts only bits and pieces. After the official bans released I did directly ask multiple admins both their feelings on the situation making clear that I only wanted them to tell me what they felt was  acceptable. After I asked like the announcement advised there was a statement put out pretty quickly after about mining for information and how victims were being harassed because of it. I received something hopefully similar to whoever else asked which was a repeat of publicly stated issues and that specifics could not be disclosed for the sake of privacy. With that being the message received I have stayed far away from relitigating the issue and would only take a strong stance as an admin for appeals coming up or if significant information was brought to my attention. If you know the term Stare Decisis (look it up if you dont). There is a weight to existing decisions and should not just be changed or relitigated on a personal opinion or whim. 

This is probably the best I can give without accidently leaking something about the situation or making assumptions. Only other things I'll say is that There is no "project 2025" for if I get Admin. i.e a planned set of actions to flip the server on its head and some how make things right or something. RyanHighman's advice is something I have heard from a few people and I am going to do my best to follow it. 

While I share these praises, there is a glaring concern I do have. From my view, I think that your lack of involvement with server-related stuff (I.e.. Server Updates/Dev Team Stuff) concerns me with how serious you are with getting new things added to the server. While this is not a HUGE criticism, I believe it is something worth addressing as you will have the reigns to make large decisions that impact player's interaction with the community. 

For now, I remain neutral as I would like to see a response from you on this critique. Best of luck, brother!

This is the issue with my app and promoting me to admin. This is a weakness compared to someone like Chibill, but I fit more in the area for some of our more community focused admins. The reason I pointed out what I could do is I wanted to highlight my willingness to spend the time and put in the effort to do these things that are not within my wheelhouse. I wanted to show my limitations, but also what I feel I can accomplish in that area. Maybe I directed the attention a bit in the wrong direction since its at the beginning, but too be fair that section is only like 1/5th of the app. Updates can be slow, but the biggest hole that I see right now especially with Icey being out of the picture is the community connection to players to the highest level of our staff team.

Tbh my greatest skill in life is to send a message, wait a few days, send another message, wait a few days send another message, rinse repeat. 

The goal was to highlight that I am not a bring brand new content person, but am more than capable of making the small changes to keep things fresher. One of those being to immediately switch to Winter Mansion as we are now in the Winter months south of the equator @KaptainLes .
