The other night when I spoke with you, you gave me a choice. You said "It's either both you and Sebbe, or it's neither of you." Well, I finally got tired of covering for an inactive admin, servicing the people the supposed admin was supposed to be servicing. Processing complaints about how annoying he is, and even going so far as to explain details to him two to three times over. Being overly courteous to members of our server due to his unwillingness to accomodate a griefed player. And also, having to deal with his unending complaints in a public setting. Essentially, I got tired of babysitting someone whose only acts as admin were to boss me around, fly, tp, and dodge his responsibilities.
The point is Mitunzz, you were unwilling to make a decision on the matter. Treating problems like they don't exist doesn't fix problems, it only allows them to grow unchecked. I would also teach Sebbe how to rollback, considering unless you've done it in the past day or so, he still doesn't know how to properly use his commands, much less help players in sticky situations. Oh yeah, you should also consider re-teaching him how to whitelist, instead of patronizing someone else for whitelisting. Especially since he hasn't touched the command in the past few days.
All I can say is that I made my decision. I stand by the act that removing Sebbe from the server was the best choice for it's players. Even if that meant forfeiting my own rights as admin. If you choose to keep him as admin, I wish you luck in dealing with the headache that he provides. Unfortunately, not servicing your members, while not white-listing, typically ends up in members leaving unannounced, followed by a swift deadening of the server. I dearly hope this does not happen, but I fear it will with my former co-admin in charge. Have fun dealing with his public rejections of your authority and his lack of proactive administrator duties.
My closing statement is this. If you truly wish to see how your server views it's staff members, merely ask them how they feel about them. Ask them in a 1 on 1 environment, and assure them they will have no penalty with whatever their answer is. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Thanks for the interesting time Mitunzz, it's been a fun ride. I wish you luck with this server, and with all the friends I am most likely leaving behind.
You're an extremely untrustworthy administrator. I'm not having you on my server to unwhitelist and ban another staff member for your own personal reasons. He isn't inactive. So shut up and leave my post.

Brief description of your personality/your strengths in a community: I use to own a server and once in a while I do. I have a group of people from another game that would play it. After we get bored of the game, we'll all go back to the normal game we play haha. Anyways, I use to have a big server before all of this but it got shut down due to funding issues. During those times, I also owned 2 forum licences (IPB and vBulletin) and created a website for my community. They are now inactive unfortunately... Anyways, I'm looking forward in playing on your server! =)
Mitunzz, I heard that you went ahead and killed the Enderdragon with a small team and took the egg for yourself
This made me mad also. I have been excited about the enderdragon event after people had talked about it and I have been waiting for an event announcement. I think the descision to go ahead and kill the enderdragon was a poor one. Whenever you disregard the effort a community puts into a project, it makes the community lose respect for you.

Mitunzz, I heard that you went ahead and killed the Enderdragon with a small team and took the egg for yourself (Edit: And now I hear that it's in Sebbe's house?). Quite frankly, I'm really pissed off. I found and completed a portal about two weeks ago, and have been ready to fight it since then as well (with all the necessary gear). I could have gone and killed it myself long ago, but I didn't.
I didn't kill it myself because you told me that you wanted to schedule a day so that everyone who wanted to fight the dragon would be able to participate. Instead, you randomly decided to go and kill the dragon without any prior notice, with no where near all of the people that would have wanted to fight it, and not even with the person that found and completed the first portal.
Not only did I put the time and effort in to finding a stronghold and completing the portal, but I also set it up so that it was easily accessible to anyone, even publicly telling people where to go should they wish to visit the stronghold. I did this because I thought it would benefit the server as a whole, and eventually lead to a fun event where we could all kill the Enderdragon (contrary to my previous experiences of having to solo it, which is boring), and put the egg in a public place such as near the spawn.
I should also mention that my finishing the portal was not only by my own hand; I had help from the server community as well (especially WLF) in gathering the eyes of ender. It's not just an insult to me, who put in all that work, but also to the people who contributed and helped me out. I'm sure they would have wanted to fight the dragon together as well.
I hate to add to the drama that I saw earlier in the thread, but what you did was just flat out rude and insulting. I would really like to have a peaceful community that I can enjoy being a part of, but from what I've seen of you as the server owner, I don't know if that's possible.
I don't have much else to say, other than that I'm extremely disappointed in you, and feel very insulted by your actions. Because of this, I may or may not continue using this server.
This made me mad also. I have been excited about the enderdragon event after people had talked about it and I have been waiting for an event announcement. I think the descision to go ahead and kill the enderdragon was a poor one. Whenever you disregard the effort a community puts into a project, it makes the community lose respect for you.
I apologize for actions that can easily be undone. On another note I think you're getting the wrong side of the story, I went into the end with a group. I assisted this group in killing the dragon, unfortunately for you guys I pay for the server and I own the world so I decide what goes. Your actions here have disappointed me deeply.
I don't even own the egg rightfully. It belongs to Sebbe767, he is an administrator. Do not be confused... Administrators cannot spawn, steal, cheat or any act with that sort of behavior. Administrators are legitimate players, so when Sebbe767 has the egg it belongs to him. I just was there helping kill the dragon, I gained nothing. I didn't get exp or loots. I play legit also, just because I'm the owner of the server it doesn't mean I can't play legitimately. Complaining about me playing legitimately may have consequences, so don't push it.
I can vouch for the fact that Mordeth had the End Portal up and running a week early. In fact, he even asked me about setting up an event multiple times. Although after he told me that Mitunzz had planned on taking a group in, I just told him to wait and it should be announced at some later period in time. We both fully expected Mitunzz to announce the event, instead of doing it with his "friends".
I can also vouch for Mordeth spending hours doing calculations and gathering Eye's of Ender for finding the Stronghold, seeing as I was on for a good portion of these, if not all of them.
I applaud your loyalty as well Mordeth. Even after I told you to go ahead and take a team of your friends in to the portal, you still decided to wait for Mitunzz, simply because he asked you to.
After this event, I'm assuming you understand why my position as admin was willingly given up, and not taken. (By the way, the reason that he was so touchy about being legit, is because he's not used to playing legit, so yeah. Give them a little slack on that one Mordeth, it's new to them )
Yeah, I get that it's your server and all, and I know that you went with a small group, but to my understanding, it was a small group consisting of mostly mods/admins, rather than a large group that you had told me you planned to have for the fight.
Did you seriously write that, or am I seeing things? Disappointed in my actions? How does that even make sense? I was the one that spent hours preparing the End portal, and when I wait for a server event for everyone to participate, you just go ahead and do it without any prior notice, so not even I, who found the first portal, can so much as fight the dragon.
I have honestly no idea where you got this. [/size][/font][/color]I said nothing about you not playing legitimately. All I said was that I was insulted that you didn't give any notice before you went ahead with the fight, even though I had held off fighting it because I was waiting for you and everyone else on the server to be ready.
And Sebbe, you mentioned that getting to the egg was a race, but if that doesn't excuse anything. I spent many hours finding and preparing a portal, and had it completed and I was ready to go a week and a half ago. So if I was "racing" for the egg, I could have gone and killed it a week and a half ago.
It could have belonged to me if I went ahead and fought the dragon a week and a half ago. But you know what? I didn't. I didn't, because I was considerate of other people on the server, and assumed that other people would like to participate. I have never fought the Enderdragon with a team. I have always had to solo it, which is why I was anticipating fighting it with a group.
Wrong again. I can judge someone and claim beforehand that the dragon belongs to me. Well, that's not exactly true, but I could have claimed it by killing it and taking it for myself a week and a half ago, which is when I had the portal and my gear ready to go.
I would have been perfectly fine with everything if you had announced an event to kill the dragon prior to it actually happening then killed it with a larger group of people, even if I didn't get the egg. Is that really too much to ask after spending hours finding a stronghold and completing and setting up the portal?

How about you just leave my post and stop embarrassing yourself, you have caused your problems by yourself.
Why do you want to join Planet Vanilla?: Because the last Vanilla server I played on made me quit by resetting the map and making a huge protected spawn zone, which just removes the vanilla feeling in my opinion. So I'm searching for a new vanilla server and this one seems to be a good one, and I hope to not encounter such things.

I like to think of myself as a Technical kind of Minecrafter, who does a lot of redstone work, and likes to make cool, original, and interesting builds.
