I suggest more admins with... diffrent timezones, gmt +2/gmt+3/gmt+1 and anything near that, so when it's morning we can play without griefers. Thanks if you add more guys

Yea, even though i'm EST, I have a night schedule. so at 4 in the morning, there are no admins. Though sometimes that good, I had a four hour round where it was admin-less. It was good because we were actually able to get our jobs done. As the CE I saw we finished a good fleet of Riplies for mining, R&D was successful in crating some nice items, even genetics was able to keep most people alive. However, as so ans an admin came on, we had a hive bot attack, which kinda annoyed me, but the round had been going on for quite some time.

(Is there a way to end a round without calling the shuttle or setting off the nuke? I've never seen it happen yet, Death squad always come. So if an admin was on and most every crew member died to Atmos breaking and all the air being replaced with CO2. Would the round only end if EVERYONE died? meaning there could be a few who hid with internal who could make the round super long? I don't know, I need to stop thinking now...)

There are to many admins already (Non-direct quote form Foos)

Besides, an election would only consist of the 6 people that frequent the forums...

Like you said, the round also ends when there are no more people playing (either by being dead or disconnected). Though personally I think long rounds are great, because pretty much everything on the station is repairable (including the singularity with some work) and as long as there's someone with a captain's/HoP's ID you can still assign jobs to people.

I usually don't do it myself but sometimes an admin creates an event solely to give a reason for the shuttle to be called and the round to end (e.g. hivebots). I know it can be quite annoying if a round is purposely ended before you want it to end but I'm sure an admin is willing to cease/delay his event if you adminhelp it.

As for no admins being on at certain timeframes, it happens. Usually when I get on there are 3+ admins already on, including mornings and evenings, though I understand there are times there aren't any because we can't be online 24/7, despite how much we want to. There are a lot of deciding factors deciding if an admin's on other than timezones, we don't have specified timeframes taking turns on getting online.

edit: Also yeah, you're right that we have a lot of admins from around the same timezones, but the same goes for our playerbase. Most of the people including admins on our server are either from the US or from Europe.

But most of these admins are inactive... I really didn't saw more than half of them... meh

Needless to say if there's so much grief going on how hard is it to take a screenshot or save the log then make a ban request?
