Just a reminder, don't ask for votes, only makes you look bad and less likely that you win. Don't use lies to get votes, I've seen people saying things like "Art says she'll vote for me because she thinks I'll be a good Mod" and I personaly think that people who spread these lies wont be good mods. And a last advice, do NOT vote for someone just because they are your friends, vote for the person who suits the moderator job the best in your opinion.
Remember being Mod isnt all about fun, it's mostly a hard job, as much as you enjoy giving out items and doing placements, the pressure isn't very nice.
For reasons that have not been a problem in months, and because the past few days we have been continuously antagonised and put under stress from other people Kav has been demoted. I know she has had some trouble in the past, but for a long time she has been a great admin. On more than most if not all others, puts in more time with people than I ever could.
Considering what was done to us the past week or so, considering the people who caused it and that through it all she has only been doing it for me, this shocks and disgusts me.
Obviously I cant keep playing where she isnt welcome, because it means im not welcome. As much as I care about the servers and the people on it, I wont keep playing when for the past week I have felt bullied and berated, where we have been under so much stress, and then at the end of it, where we came back and started playing happily, she has been kicked off for actions no worse than other staff members.

This is ********, Minecraft is a game. You play it to get away from the stress of real life. This is exactly why I left this damn game last November, I went to experience real life to escape the stress of a goddamn Minecraft server. Going eight months without any gaming at all taught me that life is terribly important. The outside world is going to leave you in the dust if you put all your attention to an online community. Games, on the other hand, will stay pretty well the same. Exactly the same; It's nothing but trouble, people can't get along and play one of the most relaxing games of all time because of a pseudo-class system that pitches players against one another to compete in psychological, social, and emotional warfare in hopes of earning petty titles. I don't know if this post breaks forum rules, delete it if it does. But it's ****ing nonsense and nobody likes it.
I'm not talking specifically to any one of you, but every one of you. This message also goes out to myself months ago, who got jealous every time another admin got "privileges" or "favoritism" aimed their way. It's a pointless thing to worry about; if you want to be an asset to this server, then be a goddamn asset. If not, don't pretend to be one. Get the hell along with one another, it's a game. It's a game.
I'm not leaving and I'm not saying anything on the subject hereafter. But it's all too much and if this server's community continues to collapse upon itself I won't be part of it. And if I'm not going to be part of the downfall, be damn sure I won't be part of the aftermath.
Find holes in my logic if they will have you. That's all I have to say, won't be sharing any more opinions. They're not usually my thing.
It is, but it doesn't mean im going to keep on playing after an unfair demotion. People only seem to say "Its a game" when they aren't on the receiving end. Why isnt it ever said before stuff goes down? Instead of talking things through people get demoted and everyone shouts AFTER "Bu-but its only a game!"
Whatever way you look at it, being demoted somewhere you have put work into for almost 2 years isnt a pleasant experience.
Well what a ruse I’ve woken up to, moments after leaving out my door to work, informed after the fact an issue involving another admin in which I stated I would no longer silently take the brunt of her passive aggressive comments, and told things are fine, a rather bias demotion comes into play. Seems me and Demon will be sharing some words on this.
Nevertheless, the things I’d like to say; no matter the final outcome of this horrid situation, are towards the Trusted of the server.
As I have said time and time again, you all are the backbone of what we in the beginning have creative, what we have moulded you bring to life. These past two weeks so many of you have come to me and showing me yourself simply how grateful and respecting you are towards me and my girlfriend. Many of you rose in support of us and truly showed me in an almost tearful way simply how fantastic you all make the server.
Never forget one simple thing, it is you, you trusted, you members, you noobs, you ancient players, that pull our hectic community together. You are the server, and promise me you will never ever let yourself be undermined in outburst of any self-indulged players claiming otherwise. Simply smile and laugh, knowing you are what makes Keystone what it is, and the reason why I personally have stayed as long as I have (despite the fact my girlfriend did play!)
No matter what happens in the end, as I jokingly yet affectionately say, you all will always be my wonderful morons. Whatever is to come, I will not break communications with those who want it either. So any of you wondering if you won’t be able to talk to me because of this rubbish, the answer is you absolutely will be able too! I’ve got skype, and since the…let’s say ‘large’ amount of friend requests I’ve gotten the past two weeks I’ll ask if you include your in game name so I know who you all are. Manic.Kaval the one in Chernobyl. I’ve a large, ever growing skype chat that any whom I missed wishing to join can gladly do so, so we can keep in touch.
There is still much to laugh about, joke about, and always to talk about. Possibly more so now! Any questions or concerns you have about my demotion or possibility of leaving do not be afraid to send a skype message. My bark is far greater than my bite, lovelies. You will see me around this week briefly as I gather screenshots.
Lastly, with a pit in my stomach I would like to clear two rumours, for those knowing what’s been spoken about on the server feel free to look in the spoiler below since I might no longer be around to clear them up.
Alright lovelies, a common misconception about me and Nistune I would like to make clear since many of you on the servers seem bewildered by. Yes, we are dating; I am gay, and no, not married. That ‘marriage’ we had (as I have explained many times over) was simply a Minecraft wedding. Why did we do it? For the fun of it. Dragovi, a good friend, made a video of it. It took place on the old survival map.
Secondly, the one in which almost makes me sick to think of what might have been spread. I’ve kept a secret from you all for a while now save for a few modmins I had once called friends in case it arose once more and I left without word. Seems the past month when I say I am sick, comments I notice later such as ‘I know what she has’ comes up. I understand I should not have trusted many with this information, yet I will not have people assuming now that word has broken out.
Now, I did not make mention of this simply because I did not want any of you looking upon me differently, or worrying like many other of my friends have. Yet, I have had leukaemia in my years, a kind known as ALL. I still deal with the reproductions of the treatments I once endured when stricken by it. My health has never been good and those who noticed would know that, yet I am in remission. I have battled it more than once, and I cannot say it won’t come back. Yet it hasn’t yet, I am free of it now, and I am very much okay.
I might not be around to brush people’s assumptions under the rug anymore, and knowing how a previous game I played blew up with assumptions and rumours of me still having it, dying, or other medical issues when left in the dark with whispering curiosities of it I would like to just come and be straight forward about it.
So many of you I have been able to proudly call my friend the past few weeks, you Trusted and Members. Take my rank, yet never my gratitude to what all of you trusted have done for me. You kept me so strong in my lowest points. I hope to see many of you on skype in the days to follow. And those who I won’t get the chance, Stay classy! My lovelies, my wonderful morons, I love you all.
Clearly, I'm one of these Ancient Ones.
I guess it just adds more to the whole "Omega doesn't age, he's just some horrid, immortal machination by Skynet".

Because of the selfish actions of some people, Creative and Survival have lost four admins. If those people could've kept rude comments to themselves, you guys would probably still have all four of us. I'm sure they know who they are.
I have been keeping this all in for so freaking long. I have been keeping all my anger within me. But now I can't keep it in. This is to the person who made us all leave, and get Kaval demoted : You have made me so mad. You rage at others when they do no wrong. When someone makes a mistake, you act like they are the dumbest people. You have made people cry, and you've told them to suck it up. At this point, I don't really care what good you did to the server, if any at all. Because of this, people have quit. People of the community, and staff members. And no, this post is not breaking any rules, since I haven't mentioned any names.
I figured since everyone else is raging here I might as well too... AS;DLFJASD;KJAF. There's the extent of my rage... Wanna know why? Because this is just a silly game. Everyone here is taking this way too seriously. Everyone needs to calm the hell down for a few days and just put this behind us. What the hell will any of this matter in 2 months? Most of you probably won't even remember it. Everyone needs to stop getting so butt-hurt over things so easily. The fact that I'm even writing this annoys me because I shouldn't have to be writing this. Anyway, nothing's ever set in stone and things will always be changed. Seriously though, everyone just needs to take a breather. Most of us have become really good friends or were really good friends at one time. Why are we letting some stupid game ruin that? Does friendship really mean that little to you all? If so then I fear for the future of this world, where friends are in need and we do nothing because of something they said to someone 2 months ago. If none of this made sense to you after reading it then just know this. 1) Minecraft is a game calm down 2) Friendship shouldn't be tossed around so lightly. There may come a day when you need that person. Hope all is well with everyone and you're all enjoying a great start to school again. Except Omega because he's like ten bagillion years old and doesn't need any more schooling.
And there I thought I couldnt see this place as sinking any lower.
I was just messaged on facebook because my little sister has been IP banned because I used the account at some point. Its nice to know that choosing to leave results in this. IGN: meramisi
Edit: Dev said he tried to unban her, not sure if it worked.
Well I'm stepping down as Admin as well. It's been fun, but I just can't stay anymore.
Most of you are amazing, fun to be around and great to talk to. You are the reason I spent nearly 2 years on this server, its just a shame that one or two people had to ruin it for me.
I have been here 2 years. Admin for 14 months of that. During this time I have made some truly amazing friends, friends which I can tell anything and everything to, and I would just like to Thank them. The entire time I tried my best to serve and help you guys, I only hope it was appreciated. I have watched people come and go, and now its my turn to part ways. I remember the very first time I logged onto the server back at the start of 2011, and I'm glad to say that the huge amount of change that has happened, I was a part of.
"Its a game!", Yes, but its also a community, and when that community causes you stress and sadness, that's when its an issue and its time to find somewhere else.
So long my friends, you are what makes keystone what it is. Because:
"Players are the currency which keeps a server alive"
Where is this server going too now? ALL FOUR OF MY FAVORITE ADMINS GONE! Idk if I should leave or not myself. Its a giant choice for me. I just wish this never happend. Just...Just WHY! I love these servers, but its just going insane.
Does anybody else think of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern whenever Ack and Omega post?? I think it's awesome
? Sorry, We didn't get that far into the old stuff in high school. They saw fit to cut budgets for any actual learning to fund a bunch of dense cheerleaders and stuck up jocks for about a year's worth of funding per 4 years.

Hey so um, I know I was not in the position of the people that were being unfairly treated, and I get that, and I understand how you feel about people saying: "Oh it is just a game" People say these things because they have never experienced the feelings that these people have felt.
I truly feel sorry for these people for the way they were treated and wish there was some way I could have helped. I am not here to complain, I just want to say a few things. Don't worry I won't mention names or be a jerk x3
Okay, so I have been around for nearly 20 years and I have learned the hard way in life that life sucks and doesn't pick favorites. You need to learn to deal the hand you are dealt. I had an great uncle who told me this a few weeks before he passed from pneumonia. He was 92 and in PERFECT health and out of no where got pneumonia and died. Was it fair? NO. Did it have to happen? NO. But life sucks and things happen that we do not want to happen. I happened to have been emotionally distraught for about 2 weeks after he passed as I was very close to my great uncle.
But I remembered what he told me and I realized that it happened for a reason because life happened.
Yes, having your hand forced to quit sucks, but look, you left a mc server not your career job. You aren't homeless from losing admin, you still have a paying job, you still have friends. There is more to life than minecraft. As I said before, I was not in these people's shoes, so I can not say: "Oh this is not that bad". For these people I am sure it is, and I get that.
Basically what I an trying to say is: what happened, happened. You can not change the past but you can change your future. Dwelling in the past only makes things more difficult then they have to be. Sometimes moving on can be hard, and it can be painful, but it needs to be done.
You can't always find a doorway to happiness, sometimes you have to make your own.
Ok so I said what I wanted to say. Bye everyone! n_n
