Provide a brief summary of what your faction has done this month Stuff.
What roleplay has your faction been involved in? See above.
Is your faction experiencing problems the community could help with? Nah not really. Join the faction if you want to play on our side of the park.
Are there any outstanding requests linked to your faction? Uh, some but can't remember them entirely. From the top of my head I can recall the Sigma-15 ZoI extension in light of recent updates.
Is there anything you would like to add? People often complain that Core is some sort of harbinger of doom that doesn't impact the server positively e.g "muh delete core!!!" memes and similar. Whilst I think that's all entirely rubbish, and seeing whingey posts in my feedback make already dull days at least a bit more fun, ideally I would really like to see Core| doing more things to promote activity and create enjoyable server-wide experiences for as many people to get involved in as possible.
Unfortunately, no matter how many lengths I go through in order to create such experiences with other leaders and factions for the greater community, I feel like the staff themselves are actually trying their best to stall and stand in the way of such opportunities. The amount of abrasiveness I've gotten for doing something as simple as just creating a bloody plugin event for the Nauru stuff is utterly ridiculous. Talking with staff of all sort I feel that at the end of the day they just don't really care at all about factions cooperating to try and create something for the community to get involved in.
Going all the way back to last year it's just felt like some big overblown wild goose chase that has just been messing around the leaders involved as well as our members who were excitedly looking forward to such an event. And heck it doesn't just end there either. The Edge Worlds are STALE. They're STAGNATE. I mean I can easily get my faction to merrily dance at the top of the tracker if all we want to do is to just organize pews via Skype e-chats and the like but is it so wrong that not just Core, but other factions would want to pursue other kinds of activity?
The DROP event was an immensely fresh breath of air. Not just for Core but every faction in that region, as well as external visiting factions. It gave everyone something to do that wasn't just solid PvP and for those that did still want PvP, they had plenty of opportunities to go for it. And lets not forget the awesome and huge amounts of roleplay it generated too. And post-event during the cooldown we had this massive ball of activity with huge potential to harness (Omicron Delta was the 4th most active system and the Mako was the 5th most active ship) and what did we do? We let it all evaporate to pursue an event in Liberty that created little but QQ, acid and bitterness. Real constructive. Lets host the next event in my toilet if we're going to continue a trend.
And then actual players - not people making WEED events on a whim - get together to try and plan something. And what happens? Constant walling, messing around, and a general emanation of snide and cynical behaviour from the staff. I get told that we'd have to fund all three lots of 5.5bil ourselves if we want to do an event because "it'd make for a cool experiment!" which completely negates any possibility for the unlawful side to get involved and greatly limits the number of players involved.
"oh but core rps like a house so you should pay for everything yourself lythrilux!!!" "you just want to do it for your personal fun lythrilux!!!"
Like wtf? Couldn't the last few plugin events be just as justified as, if not more as, personal fun? And if we're really going to be that stupidly pedantic I think we should start forcing house govs for station, ship no doubt liberty will be over the 1000 naval capacity cap and planet maintenance for 'ultra-realism!' and the like. Can we start applying stupid hard limits to Coalition, CR and HF too because shock horror us disco factions actually like to branch out and be more dynamic with our roleplay? Oh wait I forget creativity is a crime and trying to be interesting is cancer. Whilst we're at it we might as well the respective playerbases of disco factions to get bent.
And I can already hear the staff reeling back in annoyance that someone in this brownnoser community is actually criticising their conduct. I'm awfully sorry for complaining! Please don't push my player requests back a few more months! Anything but those! [rolls eyes audibly]
In all seriousness my concern for the mod is at an all-time low. The level of general organisation and efficiency of the staff is terrible and nothing gets done. They are unable to actually see when players apply genuine effort to try and create something decent for the wider community in an attempt to help revitalise our obviously dying community and mod. I'm just giving up because what's the point in faction leaders and community members putting all this effort in if the staff just don't give a damn. Maybe it's because I'm black or something idk.
And it's highly likely this rant will fall on deaf ears because either A. This FSR will just be ignored like all the others because the staff don't really care about factions as much as they like to give off or B. "hee hee it's lythrilux wow he's so mad lol!". But I don't really care anyway. There is utterly zero point in putting any effort into any aspect of this mod, especially in leadership. Factions aren't rewarded for doing well, nor are they punished for doing badly. There's no praise nor criticism on an official level. There's no standards or guidelines. I could drive my faction into the ground or ascend it to greatness and it wouldn't matter. We're all just cogs in a system that can hardly sustains itself and is slowly reaching breaking point. And I suggest the rest of the community should really let go of their woes, concerns and cares. Disco is worth a lot less of the effort you put in people. And it's sad because I see legitimately great roleplay stories or background lore by other people and I can't help but think that effort would be spent better elsewhere. Seriously.
When this ship penultimately sinks at least I can look back and say I tried. Mod is dead. The staff killed him.
