## Overview

C\_Alamo (known as Alamo publicly) is the incumbent Chief of Staff and Head Administrator of the Pheton Discord and former Photon SMP Administrator. He was appointed on October 29th, 2020, by Photon as a Pheton Moderator at the recommendation of Adventurer32. He very quickly was promoted to other high positions both within Pheton and the Photon SMP and established himself as a *de facto* co-owner of Pheton.

## Accomplishments

### Pheton

#### Reformation

Since Alamo's appointment as the first official staff member to serve Pheton, his role has mainly been summarized as a high-level bureaucrat for Pheton. He instituted almost the entirety of the bureaucracy and apparatuses that operate Pheton, and he maintains their daily operations. Notably, immediately following his appointment in October 2020, Pheton rapidly adapted modern moderation, rules, and permissions management under his direction. These changes have collectively become known as the Reform Period in Pheton's server history. He has consistently implemented reforms and modernizations of Pheton throughout his tenure. This role as a high-level bureaucrat has carried over onto other Photon platforms, such as all iterations of the Photon SMP.

#### Pheton Legacy Policy

His Pheton Legacy Policy governed most of the modern era of Pheton since its implementation during the Pheton Reform Period (November 19th, 2020 - July 29th, 2021). Pheton Legacy Policy's implementation overturned the previous set of rules written by Photon, which were considered unfit to govern Pheton as the server expanded rapidly. Pheton Legacy Policy was overturned by the implementation of Piss Orb Policy on July 29th, 2021. Pheton Legacy Policy's reception has generally been considered a positive one on Pheton due to the establishment and preservation of server stability.

### Photonic Codex

His four iterations of the "Photonic Codex" have governed all iterations of the Photon SMP as a form of sole law code. His iterations of the Photonic Codex are famous within Pheton and Photon SMP for being far more comprehensive and detailed than what would be considered "average rules" by the general populace. The concept of a Photonic Codex originated when Photon instructed Alamo to create a new set of rules for the Photon SMP I within certain requests.

#### Photonic Codex I

His first iteration, the Photonic Codex I governed the Photon SMP I (November 28th, 2020 - March 15th, 2021). Though initially a fairly short document (numbering only about three or four pages on Google Docs), the document would grow to over ten pages due to consistent changes nearing the end of the Photon SMP I. Its reception has generally been mixed, being described as everything between an all-encompassing founding work or an overly-convoluted legalese document.

#### Photonic Codex Europe

His second iteration, the Photonic Codex Europe governed the Photon SMP Europe.

#### Photonic Codex II

His third iteration, the Photonic Codex II governed the Photon SMP II (July 7th, 2021 - September 5th, 2021). Its reception was similar to the Photonic Codex I. Notably, the Codex II restricted the Photon SMP Administration within Article V, stating that the document could only be amended upon a majority quorum of all Photon SMP and Pheton Moderators and a majority quorum of Pheton Administrators. His original intent was for this system was to avoid redundant or power-abusive amendments from being adopted to Codex II (as had been seen under Codex I). However, events around the *Photon SMP Server Guild Classification Act* would lead to Article V being suspended.

#### Photonic Codex III

His fourth iteration is differentiated from his previous three works. Instead of the Codex acting as the sole law code, the fourth iteration was divided into a Codex and Code. The Photonic Codex III served the supreme law of the Photon SMP III (December 27th, 2021 - February 27th, 2022), which both empowered and limited the Photon SMP Administration and guaranteed "protections" (a form of rights) to all members. The Codex could only be amended upon a proposal of an amendment by two-thirds quorum of moderators and ratification by a majority quorum of administrators. However, the Photonic Code I served as both the civil and criminal law code for the server. The Photon SMP Administration retained full legislative powers over the Code I. This is generally considered to have been the most successful and stable method of rule implementation.

## Criticism

#### MEE6

Alamo's reformation of the MEE6 moderation system on Pheton into a Dyno moderation system has been criticized as being rapidly implemented and not following public demands.

#### Personality

Criticisms of Alamo's policies on Pheton and the Photon SMP among the public and staff criticize his wording as non-sense and a symptom of his uptight personality. This sentiment among the public and staff contributed to the overturning of Pheton Legacy Policy in turn for Piss Orb Policy.

Alamo's perception of high-level bureaucrat among Pheton's members and staff has often been accompanied by personal characterization as cold-hearted, uptight, and empathy-lacking.

It's a regular retort on Pheton that Alamo retains the lowest approval rating of any staff member in Pheton and the Photon SMP. However, no official approval rating poll has ever been conducted on Pheton.

Many think of Alamo as overly formal, especially for a Discord server.

## Trivia

Alamo has revealed that he is hispanic.

He lives in Amarillo, Texas and is generally perceived to be a conservative.

He also serves as the Chief of Staff of Adventurer32's Discord server.

He also serves as an administrator for this wiki.

He is a notorious pedant according to Photon.
