nebulous

We didn't develop the framework in secret - we've involved our own staff and had public playtests. It wasn't going to be perfect on launch - such is impossible. However, we needed to take these steps in order to restore the server back to working order. The framework we use doesn't dictate how the resistance rp goes or whatever, that's something easily adjusted by admin changes or item changes or whatever.

@Powley I can take some "joking around" but the posts have consisted of nothing but "fuck head staff lol", 'server is shit", etc. for a few weeks straight. It gets annoying to see everyone's hard work put into the HL2RP server being constantly shat on.

In any case I also decided to make light of the situation by throwing my own jabs in, but it obviously also came off the wrong way as well

@`impulse Yes the framework doesn't dictate how resistance RP and other aspects of the server are going to work, which is why I said you guys should play on the server in its CURRENT state, so that you can understand and accommodate for people on an IC level rather than an OOC one. After all, nebulous is a ROLEPLAY server.

I also don't think it's fair to throw jabs in then subsequently ban the person when you yourself literally just did the exact same thing, that's just kinda hypocritical.

We're told to act more "professional" and then we get shit for being too strict. We're told to loosen up and stop being so strict and we get shit for "fueling the flames". There is no side that we can stick to without getting shit either way, so we decided to be less "gmod professional business" and participate in the community the same way they do.

I believe the post that started all this was not a "fuck the head staff" joke, it was something about what happened directly after I was demoted. I personally made that joke myself on my profile and it wasn't exactly harmful.
It was more of like a "I didn't expect this sort of reaction" post, Take it as you will, but deleting it just made it worse

Powley's first ban was going to be issued one way or another simply because he had started drama back up when it had long subsided - causing more headaches when there didn't need to be

btw, it's only been like 3 days since it happened. I'm sure as hell not going to get over it that quickly, and I don't think everyone else is either. Making memes about the situation is a form of expression.

should we ban u for starting drama in the first place

Also @afric chiming in proving my point that while I'm trying to resolve a situation here, we get stuff like this thrown our way

its sounds like ur trying to justify not resolve

ur funny

It sounds like you're trying to bait not have a constructive conversation

ur funny

@John McRee "shut up" -Powley

I don't see how headstaff should be completely exempt from reprimand when returning heat or participating in toxicity, nobody in a community should be toxic, it's certainly telling that the fish rots from the head down when community leaders feel themselves imbued with the godly power to shit on everyone.

To reiterate, I'm not getting over this quickly. The drama won't be over with in the matter of days. Sometimes I'm content with the result, and other times I'm pissed off about it. Don't forcefully make the drama go away is what I'm saying. Deleting posts will only make it worse

@`impulse Perhaps people are being toxic towards you because your actions have reciprocated said response.

But I'm just Roman I don't know shit lmao.

Roman why did you tag me in some random ass comment Powley made on me?

So that you could see it and shut up.

Pow asked me politely, so....

no u
