Deterrence [DTR] - Feedback

[Eternal.Journey]

Out of respect to the staff, and the recent post by Petitioner, this will be posted here as Deterrence Feedback, seeing as it concerns DTR the most.

It's even more hilarious because it's my RP that got nuked after spending days to set it up/writing it etc. And despite asking staff if it's acceptable to post and secured green light ahead of posting. Then, the justification being that my RP was too powerful and it would essentially destroy two factions. That was never my intention - just to create something interesting. I log maybe once every few months and I do enjoy political RP on the super rare occasion that there's an opportunity for it. Now I can't be bothered even with the occasional RP. I got a warning for it too. That's spilled milk under the bridge now though. No ill feelings, no harm, no foul - just pointing out the facts.

The point is - this victimhood complex really doesn't suit you. Go touch some grass, lend your ear, have some chingwag or something. Said in the most positive possible tone. Genuinely not trying to be facetious or aggressive. I don't even know who you are as you weren't active when I was.

Also worth mentioning that I am just speaking from my perspective, not from DTR's as a whole. In case somehow someone misconstrues that.

This being the uh. Same RP that was Cloaked Freelancers who then had to get Extra Screenshots after the fact of it already being Metagaming to give no counter to you catching Noth out, of a Station you wouldn't have known existed InRP, nor be able to get that close to it InRP? Yeah, that's an epic example to use of "Roleplay being shut down", isn't it? Would not call it RP tbh. Would even say its worse than AI generated stuff that a couple people do. And you did that for DTR no less, to help them get Noth outed as aliens. So that you could invalidate their whole roleplay effort. Yeah, you are right. That IS hilarious. That you expected it to succeed. At least you learned your lesson from it, I hope?

Victimhood complex? I guess. I just want a taste of Deterrence's Staff Protection, alongside most everyone else who also doesn't get the same level of consideration your faction gets. I haven't once seen any other group offered the same kinda courtesy that Deterrence has been repeatedly shown. But so too does Deterrence suffer from the very same victimhood complex you say I do. The complaints about anything voted against your favour and the immediate responses to, say, the Iota PoB scenario, or the Rule 2.3 change, or the Community Warning previously a Deterrence Faction Warning. Let's not forget how quickly there's at least four individuals from DTR trying to beg for most of these instances to be changed, or altered to include others, or to be lessened in favour of newer playerbase etcetera. I mean. Really? Wanna play that it looks better on you guys? Nah. That is something you should check yourself and your own faction before you throw it onto others, Ravenna.

I tried talking to DTR Leaders. First, Grey, then Knusperflakes. Neither of them liked seeing me in their messages, neither of them took my troubles with the members of their faction as serious as they maybe should have, and when it got to the point where it kept happening, even after the attempts, they resorted to either flip the blame on me, others or threw insults at me. One of DTR Leaders was courteous not to do the latter, but y'know. Can't expect much when the faction LEADER throws you insults for bringing a 1v8 to their attention, alongside saying that he has no say in what his members do, or control over his members. I had more success through Bishop and Humphress, than I did out of your 2024/2025 leaders.

Touch grass? Yeah, I do. Every day if I can help it. Admittedly yesterday I didn't because of self-inflicted illness, but hey. I can share a picture with you if you like, from today? Me, physically touching grass with my hand.

I don't really know you either, but that's irrelevant. You are a human being, on the same blue and green marble I am on. I am also a human being, believe it or not. Capable of thoughts, emotions, feelings and frustrations despite my Alien Ingame Tendencies much like you, Deterrence and everyone else forsaken to keep playing this nineteen year old mod.

I invite you to ask around and find out Deterrence's general appearance to others. I am sure you'll get a mixed bag of feelings, along the lines of: "Yeah some of the big fights are okay, but others they really do just overload a few guys with a fleet, and its just not always fun to interact with them whatsoever." This is what I expect you'll find a fair bit of, and in far nicer words than what I'd expect some to say about your repeated behaviours. If you take nothing else from the staff feedback thread (and this post here in your feedback thread) that has been quite on fire of late, at least go talk and get something done to change the behaviour of your members. Everyone contributes. Nepo is under my guidance to do better towards you guys, but how can I convince him you're worth a chance of redemption when all's we get is the same old DTR from before the Community Warning?
