SKiNG made that announcement because of personal issues the CLs have with fellow players. I requested an announcement a bit back asking for him to tell the differences between GMs, GLs, and CLs, because a lot of people bother me constantly in-game with stuff I cannot do. I remember a few weeks back:
Person: ____ needs to be jailed.
Me: Um.. why?
Person: (reason here, I forgot why)
Me: screenshot it and send it to Fiesta_Help or whisper a GL.
Person: Nei isn't on.
Me: then PM Fiesta_Help
Person: Can't you do something?
Me: I'm only a CL..
Person: Yeah so?
Me: my abilities are limited to the forums, I cannot jail people.
Person: Can't you get a GM to do it?
That was very rude... and I had to stop what I was doing to have this conversation with the person, which got neither of us anywhere in the end. When the GLs are on... they're working, when the CLs are on, they're playing.
Also.. people assume just because I'm a CL, they give me stuff like candy, when in reality, I don't. I have to use the Fiesta store to get my stuff just like everyone else. Sure I have closer ties to GMs and staff, but that is so they can keep an eye on us and make sure we're not doing anything wrong, and if we do, they can smack our hands for it.
Everyone's entitled to their opinion about us, but when people think we're just lapdogs who get a dog treat for every little thing we do, it makes me want to scream it out to everyone that that is not the way it is with us. I don't want people thinking I'm some lap dog. I wouldn't call it favoritism, but yeah, they do know us better than most players, but thats just by us being CLs, they have to talk to us more to teach us what and what not to do.
