losing is insanely fun if its done right

christ some of the best development ive gotten across a multitude of rp servers came about because my character or my character's side lost
I am still mad i was told i'd be dewhitelisted if i got my ota captured in overwhelming odds

its called grandfathering
it's worse than that

these dinosaurs haven't changed in years and still espouse the same wonky CPOG / s2k worship shit that's made them relics from the same era as when it was lead by headcops weed addict, n-word enthusiast & mister date rapist, they haven't evolved and won't ever change their minds even for a fraction of a second.

that's why they refuse to consider anything else but deflection, demands & the only card they have left is another mass resignation threat.

I may not be the most qualified for this thread, as I only recently started playing towards the end of Boreas, after quitting in the middle of RP_APOC, but I'll throw in my own opinion here.

I originally resigned from the civil-protection faction near the start of RP_Apoc, after I'd gone rogue, blew up the combines generator and deserviced a Rank Leader that'd pissed off my character. The reason for my resignation shortly after those events, is because I'd felt unwelcomed by the higher-ups at the time (many of whom are still Rank Leaders to this day). It felt like an elitest club, and if you weren't best friends constantly grappling onto the RL's legs and trash-talking rebels in VC, you'd be left without much to do. I saw the S2K mindset start taking place, and throughout RP_Apoc I constantly voiced my displeasure to @rob in discord DM's. Now, given, at the time he didn't seem to believe much of it to be an issue, (not that I blame him, I was whining alot) but I see that opinion has changed recently given all of the issues I complained about then are arising now. This time with a public thread, rather than my own silent displeasure.

I thought maybe the faction had changed when I came back, until this happened during somewhat low server-population.

Yes, that is a squad, entirely consistent of RL's, /doorkicking doors that specifically have text preventing that. As well as VC spamming the entire time they do it, and to taunt after they kill me.

After witnessing this, and given opinions posted elsewhere on the thread, I've reached pretty much the same conclusion everyone else has. There needs to be a shake-up of leadership geared with a more roleplay induced mindset, like I'm told @Ron was. That's just fact.

While the very fact that Neb is still dealing w/ shit like this is an incredibly tiresome thing just to witness, it is comforting to know people are all more or less on the same page about getting shit straightened out in this regard.

Nebulous’ hyperfixation of combat gameplay has always been what disinterested me from engaging with the servers over the years. Well past the time to break down that culture once and for all & rotate out the people who keep perpetuating it.

We are… dare I say…… universally unionized…….

I'm tired. That's it. I wrote a few paragraphs, but there's no point. All I can do is add my anecdotal experiences w the RLs which are bad and do nothing. I'm tired of our current leadership and I want change


All i have to say

very easy to remove people from a position

far harder to then replace them with someone who actually wants the position in their stead, disregarding the issue of "basically no one in the current CP roster that isn't an RL right now has ever been an RL in the past" afaik
