    @allstaff
    Do you consider yourself a staff member that is a player, or a player that's on staff?
    Is there any specific situation that you are most proud of handling, and if so, what was it?

    Nice questions, and tough ones! xD Considering all Staff positions are temporary and can end any time, I'd personally say player on Staff - even though I've been here nearly 9 months. However I also say the Staff member as a player, it's kinda hand in hand in a way if you know what I mean. Being on Staff so long, it's what I'm used to now :p

    As for the specific situation thing, I'd just say getting GameAdmin in general. I never imagined myself as a GA ever. I remember back when there was a Staff Question and Answer thread when I was a Moderator, one question was asked how far you would like to go. I answered saying GameAdmin, but said I'd never get there... oh the irony.

    I would say that I don't think that future events will end up like this and I'd like to see you join in!
    Of course this event didn't turn out so great, but other events did on other occasions. Maybe this one time it was a fluke?
    I think all involved were frustrated to some degree, but you never know, maybe the next event you enter will end with enjoyment.
    I'm not sure anything will be done (again as this particular event was the only indecent), but I did make the suggestion of gathering the prizes before the event starts, this way staff doesn't have to rush around to get the prizes and members don't have to wait on them. :3

    I'm a player who just so happens to be on staff.
    I'm always proud of myself when I can help and be there for someone who needs me/a staff member.
    The down side... I also have to be the 'bad guy' too when handing out punishment to the ones that have done wrong. Not all people who have done wrong can see the wrong they've done and this causes it to be so much harder.
    It's bitter/sweet being on staff. :3

    Who of you has never hugged 314 or has never been hugged by 314?
    (If you are fulfilling both criterias, you can at least change the first immediately. :roflmao:)


    You disappoint me. When given the choice between pancakes and waffles, you need to choose oreos.

    I have always considered myself a player of ecc. Being on staff doesn't change that. I'm happy that we don't get any extra perks or advantages to the game from being on staff, it ensures we still play the game like everyone else. At the same time being staff has always been a thing for me, it just tends to be apart of my gameplay, part of everything I do every day. Like oreo said it's a hand in hand thing.

    I don't really have a specific situation I am proud of, mostly because none stand out. I do some many things a day and talk to so many people that it can be hard to pick out a specific situation. I can say I am most proud of my ability to just help people. I try to be there for those who need help and assist where I can. Whether it be a simple question, an occasional free erep or just to talk. I'm usually a really reclusive person and it's been a growing experience learning how to socialize regularly.

    Is Minecraft something you discuss with your family and/or friends?

    How often do you log in when you don't feel like playing but log in just to help moderate?

    Not really. Well only to like 2 or 3 lol

    More often than not actually. Most of the time I log in solely to moderate, I go though a phase where I loose interest in making money and just want to help others lol.

    Does the staff team hear server news before the users of ECC do?

    I don't really have that many family members left. My dad, 2 brothers, and aunt are not close with me, I don't even talk to them about serious issues in my life, not going to talk to them about the game I play. My son and fiance (@Mission001) play the game a lot, so I will talk to them about ECC and just Minecraft in general. My daughter, I've mentioned Minecraft to her a few times, but she isn't really into it.
    I sometimes talk about what I've done on Minecraft with the couple friends I have, but they don't really know what I'm talking about. :)

    I log in everyday and 80% of the time is me just standing around waiting to help someone. I tend to only focus on one thing, so if I'm doing something on Minecraft, I just block everything else out. So yeah I'd say 80% or more of the time I spend in-game everyday is mainly just to help people/moderate/do forum work.

    How often do staff read suggestions?
    Why are there minimal high ranked staff responses to suggestions?
    If you could add anything to the server or change anything what would you change?

    -I thinks this is a great idea for a thread, thanks for doing this.

    I'm not aware how often they're read by others, but I read them every other week or so
    I'm gonna go on a limb and think you mean't as in give their responses. I tend to leave my response if I agree with the topic, otherwise I just leave it alone unless I really feel a reason to post.
    I wouldn't change anything really.

    Do you know when horses will be invincible again? I know I have asked this question a lot, I have lost a lot of horses to this glitch also, @lexi731rocs , @Rose188 , and some more people. Lexi lost 80 horses or something like that. Rose188's horse got murdered by a player, and most of my horses died of fall damage, only a few murdered. By the way I like to transport horses. Also, you should add a feature where you can breed horses every like 20-30 days, or something like that :D, I know breeding causes server lag tho :(. I Hope you reply :D!

    About the events we are certainly going to have the events run smother. I to want to apologize for the lateness of the prizes.
