What's up with Kael?

Rastilion · Posted Wed 05 Apr, 2023 3:38 PM

Have i just missed Kael going on vacation or has he stepped down from posting the STO news?
Since March 30th, the news were posted by Fero (one of the german CMs).

Anyone know what's up there?

I saw
And don't get me wrong here... Having correct dates in a (seemingly) proofread post is nice for a change

I haven't managed to watch the stream yet. Is it worth going back to see this? What happened?

Short version:
Jonathan admitted some things Kael denied in regards to the DilEx / botfarms / etc. and gave a tiny bit of background info on it.

It's only a short bit of the stream, but quite entertaining if you're interested in that "drama".

That's what you mean. I was watching it thinking the wrong bit of the Stream was linked as Kael wasn't there and wasn't talked about. So basically we have caught Kael in a lie about DilEx and someone else has done the post today

Not just today. Every news post since march 30th was done by someone else. 4 or 5 now.

Kael has done denials about farming, he effectively rubbished the ideas and information put forward by Spencer (CasualSAB) - meanwhile, the other guy just outright said the opposite and what happened with it, leading to a very uncomfortable moment for Kael that just makes him look like a liar (which essentially, he is in the eyes of the community at this point) singing from his own song sheet, whereas the dev was a straight shooter and is probably one of the first times in years where the players have been told both what they wanted and needed to hear.

I mean honestly, how Kael hasn't been sacked and replaced by this point is nothing short of a miracle. He's consistently shown to be lazy and incompetent at his job.

To quote my former head of department: How pays peanuts gets monkeys. Meaning good personal isn't cheap.

Ah, I was surprised he rubbished the ideas. Play silly games you win silly prizes.

What's up with Kael?
