Any mission statement or short introduction (less than 300 words):


Anthony Playerismus was born on 13 June 1975 (aged 40) in the small Argonathian town of Palomino Creek to Costa Playerismus, who later became a senior customs official and his wife Dinie, who was from a poor peasant family. At primary school, Playerismus showed great intellectual potential and was extremely popular with fellow pupils as well as being admired for his leadership qualities. However, he lost his popularity among his fellow students and instead preferred to re-enact battles from the Argonathian Independence war with younger children. At the age of 18, he moved to Los Santos with money inherited from his father's death in 1993, in order to pursue a career in art, as this was his best subject at school. It was also at this point that Playerismus first became interested in politics and how the masses could be made to respond to certain themes. During the Intervention in Haiti he voluntered to fight for the Argonathian Army and gained the rank of corporal, earning accolades as a dispatch-runner. In October 1998, he was blinded in a chemical gas attack. In 1999, Playerismus attended his first meeting of the Argonathian Workers' party, an anti-corruption, nationalist group as a spy for the Argonathian Army. However, Playerismus found he agreed with the party, so he decided to join it. It soon became clear that people were joining the party just to see Playerismus make his speeches, which would leave the audience in a state of near hysteria and willing to do whatever he suggested. He quickly rose through the ranks and, by 2001, was the leader of the renamed National Socialist Argonath Labor Party (NSALP). Playerismus and his party can see the terrible economic conditions and rapid inflation of Argonath. Playerismus and his party care about the famished and impoverished, about the average Argonathian worker. Determined to win these elections, Playerismus and the NSALP aren't going to disappoint or fail at their goal.

Correct, he is a manager.

Scripter, but same thing really when it comes to this subject. So what's the big fuss about him having another account? Gimli used to have many different accounts, not to mention UC accounts. And every admin has another account for roleplay as well.

Yeah, but it's what it's being used for. Like Seskom said the reason for them was to get a little break from admin work, not to use as an advantage in roleplay groups. Back in the day there were actually people interested in joining the FBI while on their admin account they were criminals, but it wasn't allowed back then.

Personally I'm well aware what Teddy is doing is in his right nowadays, but what people are saying is that it's still unfair because it's a huge privilege regular players don't enjoy, which is why it didn't happen a few years ago.

[TheGreasyChopper]

 Regular players are limited to one account, limited to access in certain parts of the forums, limited in other aspects. But Teddy, perhaps you should realize sometimes the administration have limits too. Changing the rules so you jump over those limits is cheap and doesn't really look good in the eyes of the community.

I still don't see the problem, nor how's that different from past experience. How's he gonna use his"break", his legit account, is he gonna be a cop, criminal, hot dog seller or Mayor is his own choice of roleplay.

It's an advantage.

The problem had been explained a few times already... Admins can use an extra account for roleplay purposes having fun and break the tense from admin duty, but not using it because their first account doesn't meet the requirement of a group they are looking to join, it feels like the purpose of the extra account is being abused, players do not get to have two different roleplay character they only get to have one roleplay character, so why admins should?
This is the third time I explain the problem, each time using different words but same concept, if you still do not understand whats the problem then I guess you wouldn't even if I explain it a few more times.

A non-admin account can be utilized however they want it to be utilized. That is the purpose of it, no where in the rules does it state that a non-admin account can't be used for means that your primary account doesn't meet. The purpose of a primary account in today's standard is to focus specifically on administrative duties and if you want to roleplay on the side, you are more than welcome to when time permits. However the non-admin account was designed specifically to allow users the ability to roleplay freely without having to worry about responding to reports, you have the opportunity to roleplay in whatever capacity on that account because it is in no relation to your primary account for a reason.

In which case Teddy's non-admin account should be used for the position of FBI Director and any other ROLEPLAY positions/characters. Be it Rosso Family or whatever.
 Admin account should be for administrative duties only.

At first, I thought Teddy only applied for mayor because there was no candidate for LV and there will be elections soon? Anyone else thought of this before going straight in talking about two accounts and stuff we already know.

+1

You can't claim such stuff unless it was his words, I would love to see if others apply to become LV Candidates, Teddy will withdrow his application...
aslong as that doesn't happen your theory means nothing.

If you would have read the topic, you would have seen Salmonella applying to become LV Candidate.


How about everyone quits the whining. You can all just vote on Salmonella or set up your own campaign for Las Venturas Mayor.

[Teddy]

The whole "one roleplay character" thing for players is bulshit. This is Argonath, you are permitted to change your RP character freely. I just happen to do it with another account; which I never even use. I haven't logged into [WS]Teddy since like early summer. There is no advantage to this at all. On my EvilTeddy "character" I know of a leak in the FBI; but don't act on it using my Teddy character because he doesn't have evidence of it. So, I see no real advantage.

And Sal, saying it didn't happen a few years ago is funny. I guess you weren't aware the true volume of how often this actually happened. Don't worry, can't blame you for not knowing something people were secretive about. The difference is, I am being fully transparent about it and not hiding it from anyone or in anyway trying to cover it up. You should consider this a good thing.

Yes. This is actually the only reason I applied. When I closed the apps I noticed nobody applied for this city and setup simply to fill the vacancy.

I'm a big bad wolf now who abuses everything and is corrupt as fuck... simply for trying to help. #ArgonathProblems

Well, You're right there is no such rule that states admins are obligated to roleplay only on their non admin account, but do you really want players to think that admins get privileges that they don't? Players are obedient to the rules and admins orders but they aren't stupid,stop giving out privileges that were never given out to anyone before you. That is just far away from the main purpose of an admin having another account, main purpose was because while on duty admins didn't have time to roleplay and have fun during their playing time so they were allowed to have another account in purpose getting a break from their admin account and have fun...
I said it somewhere before in one of my replies, admins this days are acting like admin duty is a key that open the door to whatever they desire...

[Teddy]

but do you really want players to think that admins get privileges that they don't?

So we shouldn't give admins access to /ban? It is after all a privilege that players don't have.
