Conversation for a different topic, so if you'd like to continue it further elsewhere please do feel free to do so and I'll move the few posts above there, but general answer:
Oftentimes I'm doing something else and, because I'm an admin, I'm able to still be involved in the game and helping make the whole thing better for everyone just by observing and occasionally interjecting, so I do. When people adminhelp I'm able to hop right over, assuming I'm not already watching, which gives me a lot more information than having to glean what I can via IRC and/or joining the server some 30 seconds later.
Because I'm doing other things I tend to only step in when I need to, which probably comes across as "the big bad admin is always grumpy". I'm not grumpy, it's just that if an admin needs to be involved it's generally because someone's being a bit shit and, because I'm trying to do something else, my messages are likely rather terse.
Outside of that, I enjoy watching you silly twerps getting into all kinds of shenanigans, it's kind of like having the television on in the background. Trust me, I wouldn't do this if I didn't enjoy it.
Regarding the perception of "people aren’t playing the way I would like them to", my general goal is for everyone to be enjoying themselves. While antagonists can be massive nerds and just rampage on LLJK2, it doesn't tend to make for a good round. Similarly, killing an antagonist just for being one takes one of them out of the game, so it's no longer any fun for them and there's now one less person making things more interesting for everyone else. Most of the time, this is a Bad Thing. It's not against the rules (on LLJK2) though, but just because you can doesn't mean you should. if I can steer things towards being more fun for most people, so much the better.
Of course, most of you are murderous little shits who will look for any opportunity to kill someone within the confines of the rules, either as an antagonist or someone hunting them. I don't get that mentality and I'm sorry that you were hurt so deeply during your formative years. I guess I just don't get so emotionally involved in a farting spaceman game as some people do.
