would it make sence for a company to let employees participate in a customer challenge?

you can say they get no advantages and are like every other player, but they arent every other player. They are admins...and shouldnt be playing.

The admin playing on the CE is not even a .com admin. He is just a player here like anyone else. We have already had this discussion though in the following link. viewtopic.php?f=414&t=23802&hilit=+Admins+playing+the

My face reading this thread

admin joe playing. he is .com admin.

And how well is he doing?

Anyways I am going to bed, good luck in the champions era and have fun.

dead hahaha

On the side note, I always play without knowing if theres even Admin in the era that are playing. Doesnt seem to affect anything IMO

he leads a top alliance not dead.

and if you dont think people that run a company and participate in the events is not right. then you are not thinking about it properly.

This is a different kind of community to others. How many times have you walked in to a general store and had the chance to have a normal conversation with the owner? I'd like you to find another game where the players are able to talk to the admins of that game like they are able to on Battledawn. It's this kind of friendliness in Battledawn that makes you realize the admins don't rate themselves over their players. They are happy to be part of the community so why not let them be even more part of it and allow them to play the game they run?

As to your second comment you really are blind -_- I don't want to be offensive but I feel it's the only way you might listen. Before your comment we're reasons WHY the admins have no advantage over normal players in this game. The only reply you could give is

Nowhere in that have you listened to a word anyone has said. In a game of BD they are just another player. They get no advantages as previously stated and when playing WILL be monitored by other admins carefully. If caught cheating no doubt they would lose their job, so if anything I would trust an admin to play fair over any other player on BD.

But I guess you'll ignore this all again and just give a dumb response like: "But he's admin... admins shouldn't be playing", without any real evidence as to why. Save the effort, you'll just make yourself looks stupid and come reply when you have legit reasons as to why admins shouldn't be allowed to play.

who is monitoring the person monitoring his/her friends?

and me saying admins arent just an average player is pretty great reason. if you can't comprehend that an admin making an account is still an admin of the site then you must not know a farmer getting banned and making a new account is still a farmer.

An admin has an advantage only using his admin account. Admins do not use their admin accounts to play on the server. They use their regular player accounts. And they are being monitored by Seth and Ilona.

Secondly, admins are the first point of contact for the community, players, issues in game mechanics etc., As such, I expect admins to be on top of the game every single time. An admin needs to be able to understand how the game works, as a player. Only then can they serve the community properly.

From this point of view, the fact that Simmen, Joe, Tom etc have chosen to play the game is commendable.

There is also a basic level of trust that you have toward any admin. Irrespective of how you feel about the person. Hence why you let them adjudicate any issue on an era. You show the same trust when an admin plays with his player account, and the other admins say that they are monitoring admins that play. This is not so much about "business ethics" as most of you are making it out to be, it is your ridiculous accusation that admins are favoring certain players etc. Its basically an excuse for your failure. Get over it will ya!
