Well then, replace my baby eh?
I agree with the principle of the Event Team, having a group dedicated to helping with running PvP tourneys, sandbox comps, and holiday events is a fine idea.
However. I do not believe it should replace the Arena Team/GW Team (2 names for the same thing). The AT has a very specific job in mind. We judge new arenas, we make minigames, we create new and exciting modifications to existing plugins to bring interest and enjoyment (think back to my Lucky Chests creation from the SG Plugin).
If anything, I say that the AT and the ET work in tandem. The Arena Team judges, creates, cleans, and adds to my beloved world. And the Event Team uses the maps, arenas, and everything else they bring to the world to run more productive, enjoyable, and entertaining events to the community.
I know I have little say on the matter, due to the fact that I am no longer staff. However I will always consider the AT a point of personal pride in my staff career. I brought up a team from me working alone in a mostly forgotten world, and brought it back to the spotlight. I would hate to see it go, when there are much more efficient alternatives.
If it meant keeping some semblance of the old team intact, I would personally reinstate myself as SOP, and take the lead role among the new team. The GW did very well under my previous leadership, and I feel it can do so again.
Once again, I would like to stress that the Event Team, NOT replace the Arena Team, but work together to benefit a wonderful world.
