[Evan]

Unsure why people are jumping on the "-1 you ask for help and should be able to run a server of 32 people alone with no ability to ban any trolls whatsoever" train, but I believe Evan is more than capable of handling tmod. Asking for help shouldn't be seen as a negative. Even Mods need help sometimes. That's why there's more than 1 staff member on the team to begin with. It's, ya know, called a staff TEAM. +1 from me, I've seen Evan staff and have interacted with him a lot within the servers and discord. He's more than capable.

Time does not equal shouldnt need help.

Asking for help is completely fine, but for me, the concern is consistency at which he does it.  Staff members are not obligated to staff alone but it is not unreasonable, in my mind, to ask that those with t-mod and above should be able to handle a server by themselves.  This does not mean that they have to staff but it does mean that they should demonstrate the ability to do so so that if an issue arises on the server that is challenging they will not freak out and overreact or mess up their reaction.  What I have witnessed in my year+ staffing is that whenever Evan is the only staff on the server he pings on-call staff, to me this demonstrates that he lacks confidence in his ability to control or effectively staff the server at any point when he is alone. 

Overall, my questions to Evan would be :
1. Would you feel confident in your staffing ability to be able to handle a full or semi-full server without immediately calling for help?
2. (If No)  How would the new powers, that you would gain through t-mod, help you staff the server if you would still rely on                     other staff members to help you staff or staff for you?
    (If Yes) How would you use the new powers you gain to further develop as a staff member and staff more effectively?

I am still a -1, but this would be subject to change with Evan's responses.

I am confident that I could handle a full or semi-full server with the only exception being if I had to deal with a large (4+) group of trolling friends particularly set on causing problems.  Individual troublemakers aren't nearly the same concern for me anymore, if they want to cause issues I can just record/screenshot whatever is happening alongside enforcing the rules.

The main T-mod powers I see as helping me staff more effectively are bring, C-say, karma banning, and stop sound.  Bring, self explanatory, helps me move stuck players out of stuck-city.  C-say not only is distinctly and clearly a staff message, but due to how its displayed is pretty hard to miss, making it a pretty useful public address system.  Lot easier for someone to miss you in text or voice chat telling them to stop something than the floating white text in the center of the screen.  Karma banning is basically Kick+, a solid tool to keep someone off the server until a moderator can ban them for real.  Stopsound is a bit less generally applicable, but being able to stop a queue that's extremely loud or otherwise an issue is a helpful tool to have.
