the entire original staff of MeepCraft was fired and disbanded
~ @Fuzzlr
Woah woah woah. Being one of those staff members that was affected by this, I remember it a bit differently.
Now I am aware not many people will even care about this subject in the slightest, but I want to clear something up regardless of it's relevancy. It's a bit late sure, but being the first time I've actually read the fine print, I may as well speak up.
The entirety of the staff that was "fired" was not forcibly removed from the staff team, rather we had all resigned of our own volition. Resignation was the easiest course of action for us, because we knew that serving under CrueltyGaming and Fuzzlr at the time, we were considered "Drones that can and will be replaced." This was simply not how we, as those who volunteered our time and effort to be treated as. Being viewed in this fashion was a cue to simply resign, because if we were to stay, we would no longer be anything more than the drones we were labelled. And just like that, the spots we had left on the team were immediately filled without hesitation.
This point was not meant to be any sort of aggression to Fuzzlr or anyone for that matter, it was something I felt needed to be cleared. Also, the reimbursement of previous staff by giving them a rank that was well above what they had paid for was a nice touch, don't get me wrong.
TL;DR
Staff that were no longer staff after the event had resigned, and had not been fired or forcefully removed.
