Official Faction Activity Third Quarter 2022

[[Renegade]]

How many here have applied to be a moderator, developer, or admin?

I've been involved in organizations that extends from before my time in the military, during, and after. I've participated in every facet of those organizations whether it be sweeping floors and scrubbing tables after events to sitting in the top chair and making decisions. I will gladly perform either role if it is for an organization or community that I care and believe in.

It has been months since I have logged in and flown on the server but I've kept tabs of the community in hopes that something happens that would change the culture or direction of the community. I was also asked to review a post regarding my old ConEx group (which I endorse, please approve their requests!!!).

I saw this post and thought I'd submit my input.

Any organization, whether it be an official faction or the community that governs them, must have refreshment in leadership positions. One trend I have noticed about this community and it's factions is that once leadership is obtained it is nearly impossible to relinquish despite lack of interest or activity by the leading party. Therefore, it should be no surprise that we continue to see once thriving and fun factions now failing simple activity checks, let alone perform any kind of meaningful role play to boot.

If the day to day players that have ideas and ambition do not feel heard or do not see a pathway moving up, they will no longer have motivation to continue doing this and will leave. The turning point for me was when I was passed over for moderator by a toxic inactive and somebody else who my first run in with this person thought that a potentially 15 year old who was given a tampon by an older gentleman was good roleplay for Freelancer. Yup, read that again if you like. Meanwhile, another moderator was wasting space that couldn't even conduct reasonable faction diplomacy let alone moderate a community. He's since been fired, but you all know who I'm talking about.

Until this trend ends and this community sees a change in culture, from players and factions up, we will continue to see single digit player counts when the server was almost impossible to enter at one point.

Thats exactly true Racer ........ and straight to the heart of what is wrong here, but of course there is always the one who says " What is actually wrong "

If they cant see it or feel it ..... then its like flogging a dead Horse......

+9000 from me and I stopped playing this server and being part of this community because of what Racer wrote "The Truth".
RIP Discovery

RIP Indeed
