Interesting discussion that transpired here; I think there are some misunderstandings.

A few months ago I left the team voluntarily, due to the fact that my personal life was getting quite busy and there wasn't enough time to do much for ddnet. A few people pointed out my inactivity, which was entirely true, so I had no problem leaving. Now for the summer, I've got a lot more time on my hands and am happy to participate again and contribute whatever I can. Not sure what the future will hold afterwards, but we'll see.

@Ryozuki: I haven't been active in game over the past month or so due to exams, changing apartments a few times, and getting settled into a new job. However, anyone who plays on USA or talks to me in game would know that I was in fact quite active for the months prior to that. Also I read the discord numerous times daily, and have been doing so for a long time - I find that there isn't always a lot to say, unless I want to stick my nose into discussions or topics in which I'm quite uninformed. Perhaps I should try and actively engage more often, I'll think about that. However if you worry about activity, I'm there daily and anyone who messages me will get a fast response.

I want to develop my own personal skillset to gain experience and improve the project and the community, which I plan to invest plenty of time in throughout the summer. Teeworlds is truly my favorite game of all time and I hold it dear, so believe me when I say that I have good intentions.

Hope that clears a few things up :)

The thing is, what you do as a administrator? From what i know the other ones actually do something like releasing maps, coding and maintaining servers. So what is the reason behind your admin status? Isn't moderator enough or there is a strong reason we don't know here?

Also even when you are "active" i still don't believe fully in you being active as an "admin/moderator".

Honestly, I'm partially still figuring that out.

When I first started a few years ago and pretty much up until when I started going inactive, I managed the moderators and dealt with any community related problems. Whatever was left of that role was sort of pushed onto aaa when I left, iirc, so I'll go back to doing those sorts of things. Often times, in discord or in game, I've seen people complain about a lack of activity, or lack or relatability/understanding with the administration team. I feel as though I understand the community quite well, and can be an easy point of contact for anyone who has immediate problems or concerns. That's sort of what I used to do.

That aside though, I do plan to learn more about the server structure of ddnet and how its maintained, so I can be another point of support if there's a problem and the rest of the team is out or away, which has been the case in the past. Will also be looking into the source code and seeing what I can contribute. My studies and current job are both closely related to this sort of work and I've taken more interest in it - I just never really gave it much thought in the past with the other stuff I was doing. Now, these are just claims so I'll tell you this: If you're still interested, ask me what I've done in a month's time from now, and feel free to call me out on my shit if there hasn't been any progress.

So basically you don't have a single reason why you should have the admin-rank. Stuff like 'taking a look into code' isn't an exclusive task for admins only. And your tasks as let's say "community-manager" and your way to handle moderators (give all your friends pw) was very much disliked by the community. So all in all we can sum up that you are just admin, because your are the friend of certain persons.

Democracy ! lol. But you know it's only a free open-source game, there is no company behind it. If you make your own game you want someone trustworthy to help you moderate and administrate it and not to some random. And why are you for talking for the whole community because from what I read before, ddnet community doesn't seem united when it come to opinion and I'm not sure about your ability to represent the community opinion either.

And since gdin turned out to be not trustworthy...
