    So recently as everyone knows, Temp and Ken were demoted. Now, both of them got penguin. Me and a few other former staff (not all by any means) feel a little cheated that we got MVP and they got penguin. I'm curious as to why they got penguin over us?

    Ken and temp did serve on the staff body for a long time, longer than most of us. But, many did serve on staff team for a good while as well. And Ken and Temp did not donate for penguin to my knowledge. So I guess it kind is a little dissapointing that they got penguin and we didn't.

    I know it is kind of hard to give like 10 people penguin. Its a big donor rank. But possibly consider handing it out?

    Thank you for considering this.

    I would just like to say that Temp was given penguin before he even got mod again.

    To be fair they were both staff for almost 4 years.

    temporarilyalone was given penguin because he had penguin before his mod time. Whether Ken should have received MVP or not is of course more questionable, however I feel like it was appropriate as he is pretty much the longest time staff member we had. I hope this clears up some confusion.

    All former staff members should get Penguin. Giving something to 2 people and then refusing to give it to the majority is unjustifiable imo...

    We cannot unfortunately give everybody penguin as we can only support a limited amount of worlds. If you all feel better I will demote Ken back to MVP.

    If we gave out penguin to every past staff member there wouldn't really be a point apart from the fact that the were staff. Temp already had penguin so that's beyond it but Ken was staff for almost 4 years and didn't give up. So personally I don't think that people who may have been staff for 4 months for example should get the same, if they did incredible things in that 4 months then it's understandable but it's not a mandatory thing, Ken got it because he deserved it and it was a thank you gift.
    Don't get me wrong we are thankful for everything past staff members have done and we are grateful for it. But in actual fact I haven't heard anything that Ken has said against the server and he has always kept up a professional front, whereas these past staff members you want to get penguin, most have slammed the server and I know a great deal have from things I've seen, I'm not saying they all have but few have.

    I second this.

    Sorry Quick, I didn't factor in the world thing. Demoting Ken isn't necessary and should be out of the question. I understand now.

    Having been a retired staff, it's frustrating as hell when they're generalised into a single category :rolleyes: And then people wonder why they slam the server in the first place...

    But yeah, alright, I see what you're saying nonetheless. Case clooooosed. ;)
