Alright, so, I don't think we should demote people based on friendships or relationships. It's about their job, and whether they've done it well or not.
Here is my take on all of the current Moderators/Penguin Watch.
I'll go ahead and start by saying I don't think I've seen a singular penguin watch online in weeks. Demote all of them for all I care, none of them seem to be doing their job. (This doesn't include Sadie, just the Penguin Watch themselves.)
Now, the Moderators.
Aqilius - A good administrator. He gets the job done, and he does it efficiently, and he's plenty willing to negotiate. Keep.
Brit - A good Emperor Helper. They're active enough, and they get their job done. Keep.
Abushekaus - Remind me why he's an admin again? I understand he's in the military, and he serves our country, and that's respectful. But what has he done as an admin? I think he should at least be demoted to some rank like Free Fighter or Master. I don't think he's done anything as an admin. I respect him as a person, but he doesn't even remotely do his job as an admin. Demote.
Damen - Runs the game. Keep.
Turin - Why does Aqilius need a ranked alternate account? Demote.
Orbay - Orbay is extremely inactive, but he gets his job done. Keep.
Julianhak - Julianhak has done near to nothing. He is extremely inactive. I haven't even seen him. Demote.
Loki - She's active and gets her job done. That's all that needs to be said. Keep.
Rouge11X - Inactive, and I haven't seen them do anything as a moderator. Demote.
Jenna - Fairly active, and gets the job done. Keep.
Lush - I've seen Lush around a lot more lately, even though she was gone for a while, and she seems to do a good job. Keep.
Lyss - I've never seen them online except maybe for a few minutes, and they've done absolutely nothing as a moderator. Demote.
Orlock - He comes online enough, and he keeps his island clean. He does his job well. Keep.
IWUVJADEN - I've barely seen them online. I've barely seen them even remotely do their job. Demote.
Sadie - Extremely inactive. I don't even think they remember who the Penguin Watch are. Demote.
Joseph - Extremely inactive. He did a good job in the past, but I haven't even seen him online. Demote.
victoralex09 - The POTM. He's extremely active, and gets the job done. Keep.
Ariana - Active and gets the job done. Keep.
Majorhalo - Fairly active, but hasn't done anything as a Moderator. Prince can stay, but he should be demoted from Moderator. Demote.
Sled - Extremely inactive, except for the forums. Keep him in the forums, but demote him in the game. Demote.
Rootss - They're fairly active, but I don't believe they've done much as a moderator. Demote.
Flame - Extremely active and gets the job done extremely well. Keep.
PolPot2 - Extremely inactive, and last I checked, dead. Demote.
Melian - Rather active, and they get their job done, keeping to the rules despite being a Dark Forest Child. Keep.
Zpheal - Active enough, gets their job done. Keep.
This is simply my opinion looking from a business standpoint.
I'm not looking at relationships, I'm looking at how well you do your job. You don't have to agree with me, I'm sure there are a few that I simply didn't catch online.
Regardless, good luck on the redemption to all of the moderators. (Also, yes, I know included admins, who aren't even in the picture, but this is simply what I thought of how well they did. I know being a rank like that is hard, but if you're not up for it, don't take it.)
