People should hold themselves accountable to their failures. During my tenure as GP, I failed my responsibility as a host, and for that I apologize. It is worth noting that the following is not reflective of any past or current staff, nor do I believe all staff owe an apology. As a GP, you have a primary duty of providing a fair and safe environment to the players. When hosting, you are neglecting that duty in exchange of general player welfare. It is easy to fall into the misconception that events last merely a dozen minutes; factor in the sometimes 500 messages a staff would receives and that couple of minutes turns into an hour or two long ordeal. Knowing the tenuous player/staff relationship and the community's desire for more present staff, I take pride in knowing that I answered to my best of my ability every question I received however tempting the "delete all messages" button appeared. Factor in that I needed to devote considerable more time into responding to reports, hosting events took a toll on my primary tasks and my social life. Due to this, I chose to cut down on the hosting , especially during the last month's I was staff, and focus on reports. In the end I sacrificed fun for security. To all event fans between 2013 and 2015, I am sorry. TeeDee* (Would separate this into paragraphs if my phone would let me)
