[Tenacity]

My thoughts can be summed up by the number 42.

Ok, i'll elaborate:

-I know the admins generally have the good of the community/server/mod at the forefront of their actions, but I cant help but disagree with how some of the admins are 'elected'. I know several others have brought up this point, but basically... the only nominations for new admins are chosen by currently-existing admins, rather than the players of the community. It just seems a bit biased to me, even though the majority of the admins I know are handling things well, it's just a select few I have issues with.

-4.85 is taking far long to release than I'd like =)

-I honestly think the admins have lent too much of an ear to the vocal minority, listening to those whining players instead of the factions. I dont want this to turn into another big faction vs indy flamefest, but really... every official faction has to be admin-approved, and every one of them has a structured ranking system and a set of rules they operate by in order to best manage their players.
On top of that is the cost of the faction, a billion credits overall once a system is purchased. Despite this, in the past few months admins have removed any and all power or influence official factions once had here - and I know I was heavily outspoken against faction control before, but things change. There are good faction members, and bad faction members, just like there are good indies and bad indies. Problem is, the indies have no accountability, no one to 'report' to when they screw up, and that basically lets them get away with whatever they want within the server rules, even if it goes directly against their affiliation's normal RP.

-4.85 could've been released by now, y'know =P

-This mod owns, as I said in a thread a while back; if the movies made by frozen for 4.85's "previews" had been advertisements for a new game coming out in stores today, I'd probably spend 60$ on it. The developers have done an awesome job keeping this aging game alive with severely limited tools at their disposal.



EDIT:

-I agree with everything jinx said, too many sanctions being tossed around, lighten up. Even though we have that message playing on the server "Sanctions are a LAST resort, not a goal!" or whatever it says, it seems that sanctions are the first course of action to any offense here. Personally, I never post a sanction report unless the player in question has done the following:
a) refused to listen to in-game advise on what they're doing wrong and how to fix it
b) blatantly disregarded RP (i.e., pvpwhoring or F1'ing)
c) is using cheats/hacks/mods to gain an advantage
