Provide a brief summary of what your faction has done this month Leader is out of action due to PC technical issues. Hopefully that'll be remedied in the near future, but unfortunately as a result I haven't really been able to get my guys roaming around lots and having an active presence like the usual, which is a shame because Edge World activity has been good recently and Order| are now back in the Omicrons again, which is great. When I'm able to log with my members again I'm going to be running several events to compensate for the missed activity. I've also been prepping a few more RP projects, ranging from getting down what Nauru actually is on paper as well as some secret stuff (nerd)
Is your faction experiencing problems the community could help with? I could set up a gofundme to get my replacement parts quicker, but that might not actually be a good idea. Same as before more or less. Would be nice to see more Core indies also and more players in general taking an interest in the Edge Worlds.
Would be good if people could stop with the idiotic 'HURR DURR #DELETECORE xxdddxXXddXXDDDD' meme though. Yeah it's really funny to make hashtags and point out why xyz faction can be deleted because you're either jealous of us or bitter that you lost to Wesker in a cap fight. I'm trying to build activity in the Edge Worlds and that really requires encouraging newbies and the like to fly around in the region. And whilst it certainly isn't all of it, part of the Edge Worlds experience entails interacting with my NPC faction. I'm trying very hard to build up my very small indiebase by trying to get people involved and interested in my NPC faction whenever possible. Going to the index page and seeing "hurp durp #deletecore such funny meme xdddd" in the shoutbox is a bit upsetting, especially when I consider the shoutbox is one of the first things newbies will see. It seriously doesn't help to have idiots left right and center displaying toxic and detrimental attitudes that just undermines the effort I not only put into running the faction, but helping to keep the Edge Worlds active also. It demotivates me and my faction members. It's beyond being a joke. Put yourself in our shoes for example, it's the sort of joke you can chuckle at with others the first five times but after that it's essentially one-sided trolling that is not enjoyable for the affected party.
I'd actually like to call on the Staff to help out with this if possible. I don't want to sound needy or whiney but the admins putting their foot down in accordance to "Administrators are obliged to develop and safeguard the health of the Discovery Freelancer community, official server, and forums" would be really nice and a big help. Idk with these word filters we have filter out 'deletecore' and 'delete core' or something to 'lemonade'. It'd be the first instance of using the filter constructively! Jk, that's probably a weird idea.
Our faction isn't perfect (and I can definitely think of worse factions that isn't subjected to the same treatment), and I'm not trying to ask for an immunity card, but can the memeing please stop. Piss all over the player faction in the feedback thread if you can't contain knowyourmeme.com in your pea sized brain, but lay off the NPC faction. It's really not constructive. If people have feedback, they can put it in the feedback thread, or contact me via PM. Hey notice how factions these days are slowly locking all their feedback threads? We haven't done that yet. But we don't even get respect for keeping it open. Hey look, lower down in this post I mention three events that I'm organziing to try and get the community involved in, and even near the beginning of this post I mentioned I have more planned in the future. I don't see other factions showing the same sort of commitment we do to not only our region but the server as a whole.
It just makes me think "what's the point in trying to maintain any sort of standards at all or do anything for the community as a faction leader if people are going to just crap all over everything I/we do for no reason other than it being a 'nice meme!' no matter what". It's really sucking the fun out of being a faction leader, as well as the mod in general, for me. In conclusion I guess you could say I'm angry.
Are there any outstanding requests linked to your faction? Luneburg ZoI
Core Super Economic Event perk request
My two plugin-based events although as Alley suggested I'll probably go to the devs to get those sorted
I feel like there's more in the player requests section that I've forgotten.
Is there anything you would like to add? I found an adorable sized version of this image on my USB stick so I decided to post it along with this report.
