Staff Feedback Thread

Back by unpopular demand, me!

I have some stuff to drop, and I apologize in advance for some of the text being blurry. I will provide context as I drop it.

The Xeno Alliance has been trying for some time (years, actually) to get a custom shipline. Several factions received their own lines instead of being restricted to civilian ships, so this isn't out of the ordinary. What is out of the ordinary however, is the current person working on the models. Yes, Reeves is not known for being the most cool-headed fellow. Lots of us have our tempers (me). The resulting commentary from a Game Master on the other hand, reflects rather poorly on the community, and says a lot about not having someone presiding over the staff in a way Igiss did way back.

The screenshots mostly speak for themselves. I also was given permission from Jaypate to post his testimony. So here we go. There will be swearing, and I will not censor it for posterity's sake.

First and foremost, Aerelm decides to withhold the release of the Xeno shipline due to Reeves not acting in a manner which he approves of.



Okay, that's fair I suppose. If it was only Reeves waiting for the release of these ships, and not more than a dozen other players both part of his faction, and indies as well. According to Aerelm however, he's not punishing others for this, just Reeves, a fact he seems to take pleasure in. (Hilariously, punishing a group for the actions of one person is against the Geneva convention.)



Here Aerelm is calling Jaypate a leech for standing up for Reeves, and apparently for a past instance where Jaypate needed help with a project. It's understandable really. I would be angry too if someone wasn't so intimately familiar with the tools and techniques for work like I was.



Reeves asked him to sketch out the ships to pass on to Lucas to create the models. It's likely they were working together, and Aerelm simply took over of his own accord, as my trip through the XA- chat has no mentions of Reeves asking Aerelm to make the 3D model, making me believe he began working of it on his own accord.

It's been 5 months since the post on the shiplines progress was edited, and very much lines up with the fact he has been withholding the release of the shipline just to spite Reeves. Continuing immediately following the leech insult.



I'm certain this is good for devteam cohesion, happening after the fact.



Finishing up.

Calling him out on his bs with this being Deja'vu of the Blossom drama
Same shit
different faction
Xenos are fucking livid
so are GC

Code:

aer has been purposely putting progress back
may even be withholding the finished meshes even
Same shit happened to the GC Blossom, we ended up turning to Wyrm thinking it wouldn't be done, turns out that two days prior before we even thought of asking Wyrm, Aer had already completely finished the stuff he needed to do, and had not told us
And he TOLD us
not to bug him about it, or it would get delayed
and then b*tched because
I didn't ask

This gem was a month ago.


I don't have much else to add, these speak for themselves, and they speak volumes.

Aerelm of course is free to offer his own side of the story for this event. I don't have the full log nor access to the art thread to confirm the full flow of the conversation, and am simply playing devil's advocate.

God bless.
