Because it was requested to have european admin to cover time gap in admins being on.

How about yukie, reddragon, orca, at least someone that is known throughout the community?

There were other euros that could've fit, but they weren't in AS, so I guess it was a moot point.

Lol. I had nothing to do with him being picked, nor do I know why. You'll have to take it up with Spock. I just know that they were looking for a new european op.

I find it very amusing that people can in one part of the forum whine and complain that there arent any active admins, then whine and complain when a new one is added.

The problem is, how can we know if he's active enough, if the majority of SMR don't know who he is?

Does he post on the webboard?
Does he come to chat?
Has he played SMR before this game? (Stats dont look like it)
Is he experienced?
Is he active?

For one, I've seen Strike around for many games. Just because he is quiet at times doesn't mean he isn't active. I brought your concern upto Spock and his answer is:

[15:07] B.O.B.: Shady posted on Strike being made admin, because he is in AS.
[15:08] B.O.B.: I don't know how to address this issue, but maybe if you address the issue and show that it isn't favoritism towards AS would be a good thing. :)
[15:08] MrSpock: why should the one thing has something todo with the other?
[15:08] MrSpock: you can answer that he got the job because he's active and european

Fair enough. I'm sure that the people who say I'm complaining would have the same concerns if someone like Crusher or Redseal were admins (two very active people but aren't really well known). My problem isn't with him, but the fact that I (and many others) don't know him. Nothing else to it. He doesn't have a bad reputation, he has NONE (to others who haven't played in his alliance). But it's your word against mine, and he better do a good job :)
