Over the years I have been part of many Mmorpg projects, I have witnessed many different types of madorators team but the one in CoE is absolutely the worst. I am of the opinion that a moderator Manager like Serpentius should be like a impartial Judge that should help the Community to connect with the Devs. Someone that will help you fit in and not feel excluded. Soneone that will relax atmosphere in the forum and discord.
Mr Serpentius is doing right the opposite. Is putting one entire kingdom under the spotlight with false and unjust accusations. Eraseing post that would show what he is doing to the Ceo Mr Walsh. All ygr rest of the CoE Team is doing the best as they can to build a everlasting Mmorpg or Meow and Mr Serpentius is doing the opposite create tension in both Forum and Discord.

And that’s what’s Serp been doing rather successfully and if the rest of the team, especially Casp, wouldn’t be endorsing this perversion of community building, he would have lost his position a long time ago.
If Caspian and the team didn't know about how an awful CM he is, they would be considered completely retarded. And then the problem would be another one.
COE has posted nothing worth watching for the past 2 years. If ever... They must have a dog like him keeping anyone from expressing any logical thought such as: Why? When can we see progress? Why is the map still not working? Where is alpha? What the fuck are you guys doing all day? Why is there not even a video of programmers working? Is there anyone really working at SBS? Is SBS a real company?
The people who liked a post asking for why CM was doing such a bad job have all been banned and contacted personally by Serpentius. What a shame.
At the time higher priority work meant they were only going to get what was escalated above me, and very often not even then.
It was a shitty job and a no win position for me. The stakeholders grew to hate me as I had gone from being an accommodating partner to becoming "Mr. No" and I wasn't permitted to truthfully tell them how bad the situation really was or how unlikely their request would be met.
Worse, every escalation around me was viewed as a failure on my part and held against me in my annual reviews despite the fact senior management frequently caved when facing the angry wrath of senior business Execs.
Business partners of course slagged me in their "Satisfaction" surveys and it all lead to my actually having a stress related breakdown which took me over a year to (mostly) recover from.
So I don't envy Serps job at SBS, nor hold his actions really against him. He's battling to keep his job by working on the game while keeping the barbarians at the gate at bay, no small task I assure you.
Not everyone can handle the Kobayashi Maru scenario with the same grace and aplomb (or cleverness) as Captain James T. Kirk.

Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
So why would anyone TRY to make sense of a moderator or anyone working for that dev team?
usually if common sense is shown,nobody questions it so yeah just forget this developer as a con artist.Why would anyone even be following this game or wannabe game anymore,go out and find a finished game,lot's to choose from,albeit not a lot of good ones but lot's nonetheless.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
His bank account is quite healthy.
That’s all it counts.

This isn't a signature, you just think it is.
Just saying.

Serpentius whole attitude seemed to have changed sometime last year. Before he was just about hunting the real trolls/overly toxic people. Now he mutes/bans anyone that dares say anything negative. While generally trolling the trolls and sometimes just trolling people that have honest concerns. Even seen him been rude to new people. He then holds a grudge and attacks anyone that has done him "wrong" before. The guy seems to be on a massive power trip and seems to be loving it.
As for Serps attitude I think I can see where the pressure is really getting to him but perhaps if they can start delivering he'll be able to relax some.
