EtH Vs Staff: M U G G Z

Interview With M U G G Z

EtH: I want to start by welcoming M U G G Z to the interview. I know he will be in anticipation about what's to come, so time to put him out of his misery. You looking forward to this?

M U G G Z: sigh... order my casket..
xxl please

EtH: Okay, well to start, you requested that you not be asked "admin questions", can you explain what this means?

M U G G Z: Dont ask me nothing that I dont know...simple...things dealing with $, etc

EtH: Why don't you know about this stuff?

M U G G Z: because I do not handle the money of LB...duh

EtH: But you say that you donated yourself, you aren't in any way interested as to what might end up of your contribution?

M U G G Z: no... I sent money to the site.. all i care is if they receive it or not

EtH: So if Pugz was to say, spend this money on himself. You wouldn't mind as long as the site received the money?

M U G G Z: we're only talkin about a few bucks... under 100$ nothing to worry about...i spent that on food at the arcade

EtH: So people shouldn't bother contributing if it's "only a few bucks"?

M U G G Z: If they want to support the site.. send it in.. but why make a huge deal on 10bucks?...if 10 bucks is alot to u.. then dont give it away

EtH: Because 40 people donating 10 bucks is 400 bucks?

M U G G Z: yes that does equal 400

EtH: So you are saying that you don't really care about where you, or anyone else's money, might potentially go after making a contribution to the site?

M U G G Z: If its now in the sites account.. then I supported.. its like flipping a dime into a wishing well... do u worry about what happens to the dime? Or are u okay with the wish u made?

EtH: So you consider contributing financially to LB like "making a wish"?

M U G G Z: once again... depending on how much u contribute...imo

EtH: Do you think that it's not you, or any mod's place to question the admins?

M U G G Z: I personally speak my mind.. I feel everyone should.. It's just how you go about it.

EtH: Do you get listened to when you speak your mind?

M U G G Z: I would like to think so.. to be heard.

EtH: What if you weren't being heard?

M U G G Z: I would consider how important what Im sayin is...if its about some non important stuff... who cares

EtH: What if you felt that what you were saying could turn the site around for the better? Would you allow it to slip through the cracks or fight to have your opinion acknowledged?

M U G G Z: i would then lead by example and start the turn around of the site with myself...action speaks louder than words

EtH: Your promotion was met with decent controversy, at least behind closed doors. Why do you feel that you got the spot?

M U G G Z: non of this caught my attention

EtH: But what are your thoughts on it? And if you could answer the question...

M U G G Z: i did what any other basic member would do... vote, battle, be active in the forums, try my hand at hosting tourneys
As far as people not agreeing with me being Mod.. Im not concerned with them

EtH: Off the top of my head, Dysfunctional has been more successful with tournaments/PPVs, votes more, is more active in the forums, and battles more. Why did you get the promotion over him?

M U G G Z: Your late, but I already covered that. I have more votes than him.. the number dont lie.. and I vote on BOTH arenas

EtH: You joined I believe 7 years before him. Do you think voting in both areas is an important mod feature?

M U G G Z: I believe so... it only helps

EtH: Then how do you feel that the owner of the site, Pugz, never votes on text battles?

M U G G Z: I feel that when your providing the platform, it ok for voting to fall secondary

EtH: So you believe it's an important feature for staff...as long as that staff isn't Pugz?

M U G G Z: Pugz is the owner. He also made sure that although he may not vote, we do have a army of Fair Voters are in place.

EtH: Are these fair voters you refer to 'the FVC'?

M U G G Z: Yes

EtH: A lot of people feel that the reason you are a mod is solely because you were interested in the radio, a feature who's focus is considered "misplaced". What do you think of that?

M U G G Z: No one has came to me and expressed that. How do I feel? Im fine with it.

EtH: Do you think that doing one radio show would be enough to warrant a mod spot?

M U G G Z: It would warrent a mod consideration
if it was my site, but its not my site.. so you would have to ask the people who made that choice

EtH: You can't have an opinion on the choices?

M U G G Z: Yes.. but its just a opinion.

EtH: You earlier said that you speak your mind, but now you are playing down your own opinions. Why is that?

M U G G Z: Yes I do speak my mind. But ONCE AGAIN I look into the importance of what Im saying...I said that too

EtH: And you don't feel that the site moderators is something of importance?

M U G G Z: my opinion OF THE SITES MODS... why is that important? I think the Mod are hard workers and do a great job. They welcomed me with warmth.

EtH: Just answer the question please.
So as long as they are nice to you, you won't have an opinion about them?

M U G G Z: Regardless if they are nice or not... IMO The importance of a opinion doesnt matter. Its just a opinion. And for the record AGAIN.. I think they are hard workers and do a great job

EtH: You and Pugz kept in close contact with Grizz while he was banned and neither of you have addressed the fact that he has cheated multiple times. Don't you feel, as staff members, this gives a bad image of cheating on Letsbeef?

M U G G Z: No

EtH: Care to elaborate?

M U G G Z: He cheated.. got caught.. got banned...its the same for everyone

EtH: But no one else talks to the site owner frequently whilst banned.
Or a moderator for that matter.

M U G G Z: How do you know that Eth? is this YOUR OPINION? or do you have a fact sheet somewhere?

EtH: Well, I was banned. I have first hand experience. I also know for a fact that you guys were talking to him, as I have Grizz on facebook. So yes, the fact sheet is right there.

M U G G Z: You said No One Else Talks to the owner... We know you know about Grizz... but who else?

EtH: No other banned members.

M U G G Z: Does or doesnt talk to the owner while banned..who are u comparing it too? How do u know that Eth?

EtH: Everyone who is currently or previously banned?

M U G G Z: You talked to all of them? Lol

EtH: I can get you statements from banned and previously banned members if you'd like. But I don't feel you're really looking for an answer, more so trying to change the direction away from yourself.

M U G G Z: Your talking as if u already did that...
but u havent...YET, correct? so thats a OPINION...continue

EtH: That's not the definition of opinion.
We've filled up about a page of Microsoft Word now, so I think we'll call it here.

M U G G Z: Thanks for your time.
