the mining, the ai id and other stuff...

I like cannons server idea.

I think cannon needs to make a server and make it so hes the one and mighty authority like palpatine without the senate.

As for the id issues.

Admins need to have thier roles reduced to services and serving players and processing sanctions.

People a little less busy and more specialized for the balance of play or developers whom are active shouldn't be afraid to rip it all out collectively.. quite frankly to see how this business with the ai id go from fine to worse to stupid is like trying to cure an itch with a lobotomy.

Its clear that the problem here is that the hall monitors are writing the rules and this is a disservice cause its too big of a job for them.

All we can do is ask unanswered questions.. like

Was there a grand ideal or plan to make the AI id public in the first place just to cut down on some perceived SRP que?

<strike>How many brains out of the collective on the team are suffering a tumorous growth</strike>

was it to kick the id into a quagmire of overuse and abuse and thus make it favorable to get rid of ON PURPOSE?


granted as i see in general a DECLINE in AI rp (rp in general on the server maybe cause of this crap?) we sure as hell would have lasted longer had someone not by consensus or some assumed conflict or problem thats only solvable action was to have made it public. To screw with was not.... broken...

this was never....ever.... explained accounted for.. So what are we going to do here? Well Im going to keep playing and i will bitch and write posts like this when stupid unaccountable crap like this happens nauseating anyone with common sense until a few people get a bright idea that there SOMETHING WRONG HERE.


As for retaining players.. this is simple.. make it fun. No really this is it. what makes the server Un fun? ... look at the top and work your way down.. sure as heck could use some attention there.

Change the admins job to "cop" .. that wont be too hard to succeed. make a much smaller conclave of developers that can make faster decisions and more importantly BE AVAILABLE FOR FEEDBACK AND QUESTIONS. Change doesn't have to be a scary thing it CAN be productive and it can FIX issues.

There are a plethora of real tried and true administrative and development teaming systems that can fix all of this. The only price is change and the will to make this a more professional integrity.

The automation of half of the sanction-able abuses is possible.. trouble is whos programming for FL anymore?

if i can make it so that my own players cant be killed and reenter with the same character with a simple timer thats checked on connect its gotta be possible for FL.
