As my statement that discussions about my latest announcement are not going to be discussed is getting totally ignored and since i receive pms about the bad mood on the server and such a shit I intend to say a few words about that.
First of all ppl feel treaten unfair because i punish all and that i better should have punished a few trouble makers.
What a bullshit.
It is not the minority causing the troubles (eventhough they are the worst) ... its the majority causing the troubles.
Writing small comments, insults, spreading rumours, provocating other ppl and all together breaking the agreements they had with me.
By punishing all I for sure wont hit many ppl that are not guilty.
You ppl appear to be suprised about that punishment... but actually i have given more than enough warnings while the last one was extremly clear and did announce what will happen.
You had all time in the world to do neccessary changes... to finally act in a better way but you decided otherwise.
This is not the first time that this happens and the promises of the last times are long forgotten. You never seem to learn. I do. Thats why the years of talking and giving warnings instead of punishments are over.
I tried it with the diplocatic way... now Ill try it the hard way.
Of course I could have punished the main trouble makers here... but there are 2 serious problems YOU did not think about.
1. I am not able to know about everybody who is involved and in which way these ppl are really guilty and that means I risk taking sides which motivates others that get out of the situation unpunished to play dirty games in future (and yes - that will happen).
2. IF i would punish those who were directly involved I would need to ban several clan leaders and even entire clans from CF. The server probably wouldnt survive that.
That are the alternatives for all those who are whining about such a shit with the system channel or the SP rights. If you want that just tell me and i start banning... but be aware I might also ban you.
(after all almost ALL the server clans broke their word)
Furthermore i noticed that there are SP members (several) which think that they are SP to represent the interests of a clan, certain roleplay factions or even their own interests. Actually it would be my job to defend the SPs and their decisions and usually i would do that.
But when I read "we SPs dont get respected and we dont get the backhold that we need" I have to ask myself why it is that way.
Probably because of the continious interpreting of rules instead of contacting me, probably because of one sided judgements, probably of the abuse of the universe channel on the server, probably because of many other reasons.
I had big plans for the SPs once CF1.8 got released but I meanwhile dropped those ideas because they can not even work together as SPs.
The SPs were not supposed to represent clans, they were supposed to represent me while i am not able to be on the server. It was meant that they speak in my name and not in theirs or the name of their clan leader.
I just need to take a look around this forum to see how SPs treat ppl. Sick comments about other clans... sick comments about other ppls roleplay. Absolutly no sight of neutrality.
I dont need such a Serverpolice and since their main activity is not to hunt cheaters but to argue with others I seriously have to ask myself if that is worth it.
Yes for sure the SP job is not an easy one... and for sure the ordinary players also play their role in this sick game but i can not praise ppl to high heavy if the circumstances dont allow it.
I say it like it is. You ppl on the server do your best to disrupt the gameplay. You dont waste a single second thinking about consequences. Once you joined a clan or rp faction all others loose their right of existence for you and you do your best to lay out rules, to find ways around them them and to blame others for any stupid shit. Thats what you ppl do on my server for years meanwhile and everytime i said something against it you felt be threaten unfair or ignored my words.
Nobody of you... ok lets say most of you are not interested in the word "community". You only see yourself. You dont help the community... you only help yourself ignoring the fact that your behaviour does damage the community. And then you even have the nerves to complain for something that you ppl have caused.
There are servers out there which have much more players online everyday and reason for that is not the mod or the hardware. Reason for that or better to say reason for the siutation at CF are the ppl playing there and their behaviour.
How many players have left the community in the past 2 years because of all this shit?
100?
200?
500?
more?
You want CF1.8 and hope that this mod will solve your problems. Forget it. It will not solve the problems at all.
And actually I have absolutly no motivation to work just a single hour more on that mod because of YOU.
Right I stop the work on CF1.8
Maybe the day will come that I see that this is a community that can act better... then i will reconsider to start working on the mod again. But until that day I will not waste my time with FL.
Damnit... you cant even imagine how much time I have wasted with solving YOUR problems in the past years. The countless hours i had to deal with conflicts between clans, the countless hours i spent to calm down members which argued with each other, the countless hours i had to spend with all this RP shit. If i would have invested that time in my work i would be a rich man now.
EDIT: As Huor told me the system chat is still active eventhough the systems are blocked on the server I must asume that since i got the new server that function does not work anymore. Well, doesnt really matter now. Ill work on this problem and get it solved asap.
I seriously beleave the bigger punishment is that CF1.8 wont get released and that the PR campaign also wont be done eventhough that would be one of the biggest chances for the next 12 months.
