<p>Strider: Contribute moved to Crom</p> <hr /> <div>[[Category: Immortals]]<br /> Crom, RETIRED Executive, &quot;Been there, done that&quot;.<br /> <br /> &quot;I began playing Farside (Avatar initially was this game) in 1993. I played for<br /> 2 years, became an Immortal and also the Area Coordinator. The areas in those<br /> early days were tied together somewhat weblike with no central hubs or real<br /> organization. Instead it was just a hodgepodge approach with no world-theme. I<br /> redid all of that and it is still in place.<br /> <br /> After a few years as the area coordinator, I eventually was given Code access in<br /> 1998. I was able to make some significant changes and additions with the focus<br /> being on player-viewable modifications rather than simply coding imm toys of<br /> dubious worth. During my tenure in this position, I was elevated to Executive<br /> and began the process of adding Trackies to the game. This allowed me to bypass<br /> the existing hiring process and get a much-needed staff boost.<br /> <br /> Ultimately, through a poor experience with Ubercon as well as constant conflicts<br /> over development and staffing needs, I felt that the stress was not worth continuing<br /> with my hobby. I still believe that we should have been open-source, that we should<br /> never have promised Legend and Ranger, and that players deserve to be twinky whenever<br /> possible.<br /> <br /> If you have no idea who I am...read the help news files for my coding contributions<br /> and read the area list for my area contributions. Many of the AVATAR writing titles<br /> as well as Odin. I don't know if I contributed a TON of stuff but I think I made<br /> a positive impact on the development of the game. Some would say that I nerfed<br /> quite a bit of it, but you'd have to make a list of everything I added compared to<br /> what I removed and I think my record stands for itself.&quot;<br /> <br /> See him as: Strider (still reading notes!)</div>
