Q4 2025 Parole

[Luke.]

We're not asking you to write an essay for it, but we need a tangible way to see that OFs are active other than log-in time. RP is RP, we intend to keep our side of the bargain with expanded perks and rights, and this is what we ask for in return. We are of course open to ideas and adjustments, we never weren't, but again an update from factions isn't asking too much especially when it's once every 3 months. Hell, staff also exist in these factions. It's hardly like we're standing atop a pedestal and shouting orders. We want to engage with it too.

People had jobs and lives years ago too when the server was busier, and yet writing was enjoyed in great capacity. Regardless, this is why we haven't limited it to just the 1ic needing to write and publish the report. We understand not everyone has time. Staff and devs work full-time jobs in some instances too, yet they've not been afforded respect in some cases when it comes to lack of productivity. It's a two-way street. We're motivated to push forward with things that have needed doing for a long time now, so we kindly ask this of those in the position of OF. It's not coercive, it's standards that staff absolutely fucked up with keeping in check in years past, but OFs have always meant to exist as the leading example.

Staff/Devs are also collectively and acutely aware that this alone won't solve the player numbers issue, but OFs need to be worth something again if it's still to exist as an attractive system. We've done our best to ensure that it's made worth it for those willing to engage within the limitations of the game. We welcome suggestions and additions, but the rework stands.
