Why are supervisors allowed to play in events they're supervising? It makes no sense. Given the current batch of retards that currently hold up the ranks of the proud down syndrome suffering crew, they should not be allowed to participate as I can only believe it will lead to bias for themself/their team

Nice point in theory, but you're kind of missing it entirely. Under current conditions it makes sense, and I'll tell you why. - The player count does not hold for many events to be hosted and often the person supervising will have to play in order for the event to actually take place without massive holdups.
- There is currently only a few GCs to supervise the trials, and many of them are on for short amounts of time, while they're expected to host themselves too. As there are not many, yet the players want events, others such as Thor, DC and Mighty have supervised but also want to take part in the events too as it is not their usual place so they shouldn't have to supervise. The tools are generic, and the help is on hand if they need it, hosting is not rocket science.
Supervision by definition is to oversee, and unless the event stretches over a large distance, I see no reason why the supervisor cannot take part. There has been no actual instance where the current trial GCs have had an issue, and there has been no instances where a GC has claimed that a decision has been out of bounds because he was on the team it was called on. Even if a GC did that, supervising or not it could still be done as they're still up for voting to the next stage.

Oni just awarded himself a ticket while "playing" with his GC tag on.
You were saying?

Rufus is retty much right on this one. They shouldn't participate while on tag but I see nothing wrong with supervisors participating. Hell, if you've ever noticed when I supervise I'm hardly ever doing so on tag... I'm usually participating.

well, seeing as he was abitrator and got to decide who got what tickets, yes he gave himself an advantage by awarding himself a ticket (even though Gem said to give it to Shimmy), in spite of the rules.
He knows the rules dictate staff members cannot play on tag, yet he ignored it. So yes, he had an advantage by being able to break rules from his position as supervisor

I'm sick of these few rommiels trying to get me fired. I supervise all day and for the past week i've been hosting my ass off. You yump and shimmy just come in to give people a hard time. You act like I use my Game Coordinator as an advantage to win events even tho I can care less if I win or lose, I just give away my tickets anyways because I have all the prizes. I won musical chairs fairly, but yet all of you make gemini feel like he messed up and start complaining so I had to (in my mind) corruptly give shimmy a ticket to stop all of your guys harrasment. You need to chill out and if you talk trash to me in any more of my events your out. Dont wanna play in my events anyways? Then it's your loss, and If you talk trash to the trial GC's I'm gonna let them know not take your garbage either. Stop treating GC's like sht cause they waste their time to make classic a funner place.

As a matter of fact no, he is not the "abitrator" in the event, Gemini is. We're talking about supervisors here, and that is exactly what he was doing. There was no advantage, and Shimmy got the ticket as far as I know. He knows the rules dictate staff members cannot play on tag, yet he ignored it. So yes, he had an advantage by being able to break rules from his position as supervisor What rules? There are no set rules for GC's and there hasn't been for a long long time. There are guidelines, but that's as far as it goes. You're stretching for something to complain about now and I must say it's pretty pathetic. You've gone from something that appeared to be an interesting point at face value into some petty spat that nobody is interested in at all, find something else to complain about.

Seeing as I was removed/warped out/forbidden from playing events whenever I would try on my Developer Tag, forgive me for believing it must be a rule that Staff do not play on tag
If Gemini was the true arbitrator, why did Oni receive a ticket? He told Oni to give it to Shimmy, not himself.

If he turns off boots+ godmode, there should be no reason why he can't play. Besides, why the hell are you arguing with night.

If Gemini was the true arbitrator, why did Oni receive a ticket? He told Oni to give it to Shimmy, not himself. Did Shimmy receive the ticket in the end? Yes, case closed.

how is it entirely different? The reason I was always told was that Staff members are not to play events on tag. I don't see anything that allows GCs who are supervising being able to play events on tag within that rule explanation

I don't see anything that allows GCs who are supervising being able to play events on tag within that rule explanation It is entirely different because he was supervising the event whilst on tag, allowing him to be on call, there is no difference between him being off tag or on tag in this instance. What kind of stupid excuse are you going to try to suggest for other staff departments that merits them being on tag in an event? There is not one valid argument there.
