Works for short term, but hurts in long term. Just saying lol. Car companies prove this as well to. Of course you always put profits on your mind, but you cannot grow without raising expenses. Just had to point that out Kemp. Otherwise, that's all I have to say.

    Not to throw this off topic, but to point out the biggest business in the world and it has a larger economy than many countries. Wal-Mart, they put profits above all else. I worked for them some years ago, you should see the propaganda they peddle to their employees and the dirty underhanded tricks they use against customers and employees alike. They screw everyone over because as the #1 reason for a business is to make money, they do it however possible. They are the most successful retail company and they are the major retailer that governments look at to see how the economy is heading.

    If you come to a fork in the road, take it!

    We were discussing the business of Evony, were we not? Some general discussion of business is warranted, I think.

    Kempion, you and I will continue this discussion via pm's.

    As for player advocates: your unpaid, volunteer moderators who have a direct line of access to the reps....your mods who are drawn from within your own community....your mods who have stood up and defended the forum members countless times ARE your player advocates.

    You have forum members who have mods and reps on skype. You have forum members who talk to the staff in-game and out-of-game and offsite of the forum. You have forum members who take to the staff issues that they think are being missed or ignored or that need to be reconsidered. I can't think of a single person on this staff who is not willing to go above and beyond their job description to speak to the members of this community on whatever issues are troubling you.

    It is my considered opinion that Kempion is only pushing this player advocacy idea because he fully intends to be that advocate, and he thinks he is going to either be immune from infractions, have some sort of power here that nobody else gets, or that he's going to be given direct-line access to the Development Director. I tell you now that I cannot see any of those things ever happening.

    I am closing this thread and I will be dealing with Kempion privately. If anyone wants to discuss this further, please feel free to pm me.
