Aethereal: Okay job, but as many have said, he tends to add to arguments rather than defusing them. I like him as a person, from what I can see. 7/10

Chaos Nyte: It is his site, yes, but he's a bit of a . . psycho about it. When the Paradox Lounge forum was still active, he would have had a lower score, but now that CP is dedicated to game design, his attitude, while quite egotistic and confrontational, does a good job to keep this place in line. I really wish he and Fyre would get over their little feud, because all it does from my view (and much of the community's, from what I can see) is annoy us and hinder us in whatever we are trying to do.
8/10 as CP's police officer, 4/10 otherwise.

Cube: I rarely have seen him act on his abmin power, as I don't visit the plotscripting boards very often, but from what I have seen, a good person. However, I don'tfeel I've seen enough to make a judgement. N/A. Probably around a 7.

Orchard-L/Friend: Good attitude, level-headed, a great artist, and good at game design. Tends to try to stay out of bad situations, which is good. Overall good at administrating. 9/10

Squall: I really don't see much administration from Squall usually, but his job of moving all those reviews gives an A for effort. Also, his administration of Renzo I approve of. 8/10

Misteroo: When he was here, good. However, he has diasappeared from the forums, so: 0/10. Remove him, but keep the spot open in case he decides to come back at some point.

Setu Firestorm: A great person, but he fails at being level-headed at times. Also, he tends to go a little nuts at times, trying to be funny, but often coming off as an (ahem)hole to some. I didn't mind the word-filtering myself, since I don't usually swear, but many people disliked it, so I have to ding him for that. A great person to have around the community, but not good as an admin. However, we should keep him on somehow as our resident music man. 9/10 as a person, but 2/10 as an admin.

Inferior Minion: You can't tell he's administrating. That's good. Also, his work with the site itself, making everything work, and fixing things when they're broken guarantees him a high score. Level-headed, as well, and tends to stay out of arguments. He doesn' post that often, but when he does, usually it's reassuring or helpful. A well-deserved 10/10.

Chaos Nyte - 7 - Tough Love

Confrontational with certain people, speaks his mind, doesn't tolerate any bullshit. In general, step out of line, and this is the guy who will tell you off. While his original role as overall admin of CP is now tranferred unofficially to Inferior Minion, Chaos Nyte fills the role of Policeman very nicely. Sometimes his emotions do get the better of him and some of his posts can be (for lack of a better word) downright harsh or insulting on occasion. "Tough love" is a phrase that perhaps fits CN the best. Because of his inability to enter IRC, his duties are restricted to the actual site itself.

Inferior Minion - 10 - Underdog's Champion

Castle Paradox's welcoming mat, and overall most liked Administrator, for many reasons. He looks at all sides of an arguement, though for the most part has a bit of a soft spot for people being picked on, and will generally take their side to defend them. He's hardly confrontational, and will for the most part go along with a good joke when he sees it (specifically the mIRC shennanegans [sp], though he is greatly missed). He IS responsible for most of the code of the site, and along with Cube works to keep the site up. He also champions a bit of OHRRPGCE/Castle Paradox intercooperation, which is something I'd like to see more of in the future.

Aethereal - 6 - Quality Control

More or less in charge of the Review acceptance, and serves as a kind of 'quality control', ensuring that much of the game reviews are at least interesting to read. Personally, I'd like to see those reviews being accepted being a MUCH larger length. Because of Aeth's efforts we're not sitting chest deep in two sentance reviews with no screenshots. Aethereal could also be nicknamed a "Kinder Gentler CN", in that it would appear he shares much of his views (though this may make him come off as a kind of 'Yes-man'). Being one of the original 3 Admins who still has acess to #Paradoxlounge, his duties recently have been expanded to cover that aspect of the site as well.

Cube - 10 - Team Player

Like others have pointed out, Cube oversees the Plotscripting forum and helps with much of the programming and maintenence of this site. Popularly elected into his position, he fills it quite well, and his job of keeping the Plotscripting forum clean, and answering people's PS questions is top notch. His posts, while mostly confined to the Plotscripting forum, make him come off as the voice of reason in arguements. As such, he may be somewhat more cool headed than even Inferior Minion. He contributes what he can, when he can, however he can.

Squall - 9 - Energizer SeeD

One of CP's most active Admins. He runs Renzokuken. He transfers the reviews from Op:OHR. He helps with the general maintenence of the site. He also mods #Paradoxlounge. All this work and he's yet to snap, and each day he proves he's an excellent addition to the CP admin team.

Orchard-L/Friend - 9 - Anti-Gonterman

The phrase that the Art forum doesn't need a mod because it runs itself is somewhat a paradox, because Orchy's in the fray critiquing, and making suggestions to help others develop their art skills. He also releases games regularily, and sets a good example for others to follow. He's also got a great sense of humor.

Setu Firestorm - 6 - Network Censor

His duties mostly include the music forum and... well the word filter's off, so I guess he doesn't really do that much anymore. Censorship advocate. In general he's also on the Newcomers' side of things, helping them out with whatever advice he can, and is a bit more tolerant of what others consider 'N*wbieish behavior, which makes a lot of our younger members look up to him.

Misteroo - 2 - Kidnapped by Ninjas

Back when CP started, Misteroo did a LOT of the graphical work, not the least of which included the original mascot Bam. Now however, he's... well he's vanished off the face of the earth to put it bluntly. The logical reason for this is that he's mired in a job, full time college, a leadership position amoung tthe staff of Disasterlabs, and working like mad on the final installment of the Arfenhouse movie trilogy. The position should be kept open, but realistically there's very little chance of him coming back or making any more OHR games, though the ones he's released have set the standard for what other people must NOT do to make a good game.

-Unofficial Admins/Moderators-

Gizmog - 5 - IRC Overlord

Basically fills in for Inferior Minion and Chaos Nyte in their absence in #Paradoxlounge, and has more or less taken over the moderation of it. He's also replicated THE RED BUTTON, and brought joy to many.

Hunter Green - 8 - FITE MASHINE

Helps admin Renzokuken for the purpose of killing spam and spotting questionable activities amoung Renzokuken's membership. Since Renzo is technically a part of Castle Paradox, his listing as one of the staff is valid.

Fenrir-Lunaris - (You'd think I'd rate myself?) - Only Actual Moderator

Runs the Furry Forum (same position at OHRRPGCE.com), and contributes minor graphical touches to the site. Hopefully you'll see something pop up in the very near future. Also helps admin Renzokuken for the purpose of catching hate-related posters. Blue text pisses off only 0.5% of the population.

Aethereal - 7

I honestly have always respected Aeth, although I didn't always agree with his ways of dealing with people. As an Admin, he really does a good job, and even steps into other areas left vacant by the others who were kidnapped by ninjas Raspberry! .

Chaos Nyte - 6

He's done a lot that I have disagreed with, although I do admit that he is very passionate about his position here. He is very dedicated to this site and keeping it from getting out of control, but he does, on occasion, have his fits that he will take to the extremes. Even though I, personally, don't like a lot of what he does (excluding my little beef earlier), he is actually a dedicated admin.

Cube - 7

Another man I truly respect. He remains calm, is very level-headed, and is very learned in addition. Even though his admin actions are not frequent, I can't deny that he is good at what he does.

Orchy - 5

He has told me himself that he restricts himself to the Art Forum (which he'll throw things at me if I'm wrong Big grin ). All around he's a balanced person, both humorous and logical.

Misteroo - n/a

I don't see him in CP anymore.

Squall- 4

This isn't because I don't believe in Squall. He is a very understanding person, as well as a darn good leader. I give him a 4 simply because his appearance and work in CP hasn't shown lately.

Setu_Firestorm- (((Inner Setu: Doesn't count, cheater! Raspberry! )))

I try to do my best to support the music forum, help out people that a lot of others tend to look down on, and encourage those who are struggling in OHR and CP. I do agree with the criticism that some of you have pointed out about me, both that I am over-lenient and that I tend to piss some people off. To those whom I have offended, I'm sorry.

Inferior Minion- 10

I think he does so much that hardly anyone really thanks him for (myself included at times). He is very good at what he does, as well as being fair to everyone.

Chaos Nyte - His time in Japan his given him an addiction to worthless do-dads. He and Fyrewullf are so similar in personality that I think they're twins seperated at birth, and now they're locking horns in a contest to see who can clutter thier board with the most useless features, a contest that will end with both boards taking four hours to load up in broadband. Chaos can be a bit of a jackass to people on occasion as far as things like "starting huge arguments by publisizing a warning that should have been private" or "making his posts sound even more concited than fyrewulff" goes, but he does a good job of keeping people in line and dealing with troublemakers. And since he hasn't actually put that rortating 3d interactive animated shockwave review button into every post yet, I give him a 7.

Inferior Minion - He's the one who actually owns and runs the board, and he's nice about it. seems to be rael popular amoung the members.
I give him a 10 for the buttloads of owrk he's put into maintenence, and also for paying for all of this and not asking for anything in particular in return.

Aethereal - I don't know him that well,but he seems like an allright guy to me. N/A.

Squall - He admins here too? I've never seen him do anything. Doesn't mean he shouldn't stay admin though. N/A./.

Orchard - I like the way he handled Eggie's first thread, It's just too bad things didn't end there. 8.

Setu - I never liked his WF tape, and the IRC "prank" that got him banned from ohrrpgce.com was completely retarded. He seems like a nice guy, but he really does some dumb stuff sometimes. 6/10

Misteroo - I don't remember ever seeing him even post here. he hangs around #starfoxrpg on IRC, which is like most IRC RPG threads, but with a twist. The twist is that no one ever posts there. N/A

Gizmog - Kickscripst sound like fun, but in paractice they grind all sensible discussion to a halt. 5/10

Hunter Green - Renzokuken execution squad member #1; the sheepdog. His job is to warn people on renzokuken if they are causing problems, and ban people who step too far over the lines. The louder and more visible member of the renzokuken execution squad.

Fenrir Lunaris - Moderator of the furry forum, and Renzokuken Execution squad member #2; the wolf. his job is to track down banned members who continute to cause problems and stop them completely. The less seen, but much more frightening member of the Renzokuken execution squad.

Shadowiii - I did close down the Paradox Lounge forum, but the idea was not solely mine. The idea was discussed among several of us (I forget exactly who was involved, but I know Cube and IM were involved) and we decided to shut it down. I merely shut it down and posted an explanation. Therefore, don't fully credit the closing of that forum to me. Raspberry!

Aethereal: Peacekeeper. Aeth tends to end things a lot, with force when necessary. I'd say he's doing a decent job. Between him and CN taking care of things, I can say that I sleep well at night, knowing CP will be safe. And if they ever go overboard, IM's always there to save the day. 8/10

Chaos Nyte: Newbie's Worst Nightmare. Sure he's strict, but he's usually reasonable. So, maybe he lets his emotions get in the way sometimes, but he's only human. I admire that he made good on his promise to delete all of the games on the list that didn't have a file or a screenshot, even though it included one of mine. He's tough because he's got to be tough. If he wasn't, then the forums would've gone to hell a long time ago. 7.5/10

Cube: Plotscripting Master. Sure, I'm a decent plotscripter, but I've got to pay my respects to this guy. He does what needs to be done, helps on the plotscripting board, and is a generally neat guy. 8/10

Orchard-Lafayette: Friend, the Pixelizator. Friend's always there, making little jokes on IRC, and, though he doesn't post on the forums too much, he always post for a good reason. That's the cool thing about Friend, among his few posts, you will always find a point. Since he's pretty level-headed, you can bet that he won't start fighting unless there's a very good reason. He's come in and resolved things many times. 9/10

Setu_Firestorm: He's a nice guy, always open to being a friend and generally fun to talk to. Unfortunately, that can some times be a problem as an admin. Setu's come uner quite a bit of fire, but I admire how he's mostly kept his cool through it all. He's got a ways to go, but he's coming along. He won't let us down, trust me. 6/10

Squall: Uber Review Historian. He's done a lot of work, and you have to give him credit for it. Sure, he missed my Orb: Descendents of Saviors review, but at least it gave me a chance to go through it and change some stuff around. 6/10

Inferior Minion: Lord of the Manor, King of the Castle. IM's a generally fun, lovable guy, and he sacrifices so much, with little return but appreciation by all us nerds here. 9.9/10 (because I don't give out 10s XD)

heat: Ninja-admin. heat's been doing well, with what we see and don't see. Can't say too much, 'cos most of it isn't seen. Plus, if I do say too much, the ninjas will get me... 8/10


So, CP's generally doing well.

Fenrir-Lunaris (9.0) - all round nice guy and great to talk to, even about pr0n, which is almost always brought up in a conversation with him womehow. "what starts with porn ends with <damn, i forgot>, and what starts with <damn, i forgot> ends with porn" was his statement, and i only find that true amoung teenagers. The most disturbing thing was when i first saw his furry avatar, my reaction was --> What?!?! <OMG!>

Gizmog (7.5) - Good guy, knows how to keep something alive, even though it's been dead for 5 years. He most definately is open about his sexuality, but knows how to keep it in moderation. A fair mod and channel operator.

Aeth - Have you heard of the phrase, "those that speak up get blamed." It's kinda like a taddle-tale thing... (kindergarten stuff) anyway, somethings may not need an explanation as big as that... could've been a bit more discreet. i have nothing against you, and i respect the decision made on Paradox Lounge. trouble is, some people came here to socialise and not compete, which is why some hate you...

"Inferior Minion (9.5) - Great Host (aside the occasional network problems from wireless and such) great guy to talk to on IRC, reasonable and is willing to help whenever someone asks. Note: the 0.5 loss was from "why did you get banned on IRC?" "
That's totally irrelevant and useless. For one, he was just banned from Espernet. Second of all, it's not his direct fault. Would you have read any friggin details you would know. And I KNOW you're in the IRC addict user group, so if you give me that "I didn't know" crap then NULL to that. Really.. try not to judge him.

Yeah, I give Fenrir a 8.459 since I din't before. He likes furries and SquareSoft, and I do too. Well, actually, I hate furries, but I draw furries anyway. I'm like Fen except human, mouthy, non-mod, Linkin Park + 2Pac + Eminem + Andre 3000 + Coldplay + Evanescence + Good Charlotte + J-Lo loving, newbish- like old CPer. Something like that. Actually, I'm quite different. The only person I can relate to is Jabbercat.

Interesting how I've managed to squeeze myself into the 'rate the admin' thread. Actually it was something of a joke, but... Well, since people are rating me anyway, best to pick up the slack and contribute to justify that opinion. CN, whoever... you can initiate that 'trophy' addition to CP whenever you're ready.

I might as well post here--got directed to the thread n'stuff.

For those who don't know who I am, I'm the moron responsible for the Arfenhouse series. As already explained, I was originally asked to work on the graphics for this site and haven't been asked to do anything else since then.

Eventually college and job stuff got really busy, and to put it straightforward I lost track of this place. I retired from OHRRPGCE about 2 years ago, so this isn't exactly my kind of home field anymore.

Anyway, I understand the circumstances--and have mentioned in the past to CN to go ahead and replace me at any point in time, and from what I see it looks like the time's here.

To make this story short, this is one of those official 'goodbye'/resignation posts... except it doesn't have traditional "OMG I H8 u ALLLLL g00dBYE 4 EVAAAA :{{{" posts or flames in it or anything of the sort. If anything, I'm sorry to not have gotten as involved here as I probably should've.

Anyway.. OHR's still a fun engine, and was definitely an inspiration I'm glad to have known, but by now life's taken another course I'm kinda out of the picture :T I wish everyone the best of luck with all upcoming projects. Take care n'stuff!
