Nobody's saying 'no more admin gimmicks ever', at least not since this thread resurfaced. This thread was brought up once more because recently (at least, recent when the most recent discussion occurred) most of the admin gimmicks seem to be ill-considered gimmicks just for the sake of running gimmicks that are laggy, unfair, and unnecessarily spiteful to the crew who protest or simply show disinterest - the stuff that most of the gimmick detractors have been arguing about.
Speaking of recent posts, it was the wrench thing that prompted me to bring it up once more, actually. That particular gimmick came on the tail end of a string of several poorly-conceived gimmick rounds, but that one probably took the cake. To this day I have no idea what the admin(s) involved thought it would add to the round, nor why they seemed so unhappy when people rightfully pointed out it was kind of shitty to make half the crew's jobs pointless right at the start of the round (and throughout the rest of the round because every opportunity to obtain a wrench was denied).
