dude you dont need an all cap bolded size 5-6 sentence to say something or drive a point idk why youre doing that at all its like using caps on a comment you dislike on youtube.
anyway, now on topic
while yes there were alot of issues in ww3rp and there is no point installing a third server unless one of em flips or we get enough playerbase to even install the third server, 1.now about ww3rp in general, the problem is and was indeed within the playerbase 2.as we kept accepting those that cant rp at all and those that suck at english, poor training etc, 3. then theres the problem of some people minging thus giving a wrong idea for newly trained recruits. 4. Large portion of our problem was minges that masked them as jokes or "just messing around". 5.while i can turn a blind eye to erp, it doesnt mean i approve of it even though im guilty of it as i did it once as well. 6.one last problem is s2kers, there were quite a few people that only came on to s2k, while id love for ww3rp to return, but if ww3rp were to return it should get some serious reforms, choose their staff wisely and return back to the modern age, crack down on minging heavily, 7. make more rp events and ops because fuck those s2k operations are boring, overall endorse rp over s2k.
thats just my opinion
You know, I usually don't try to come out to roast people or come off as a large asshole. But this entire post makes me think you're living on top of a place called bullshit mountain and you've kind fell into the slippery slope of elitism (which given your skill level is still somewhere around bisexual supermodel lesbian who is kinda nutty, it makes me wonder why you rank yourself there but hey. What the hell. Bullshit mountain is as vast as it is tall) . In my likely futile attempt to bring you down from the mountain I am posting about this tonight.
I've taken the liberty of numbering and bolding the bits that stand out and leave me completely in awe to the point I can't stop myself from replying anymore. So, uh, let's just dive right in.
1. From point 3 that you yourself listed I highly doubt even you believe that. Several staff members in fact were outright scared of administrating even though situations the would complain to myself, Not Tiger,
@Blackquill. other SD's, maybe Gurra too about would in no way get them in trouble for handling. Now, don't get me wrong the playerbase carried it's own share of the fault. But to outright say they were the only ones to the point that'd you actually have the audacity to say some crazy shit like that is a pretty clear sign of where the problem lies.
2. You mean, when we accepted people like Mpower? Or
@Mendel? Jeez, man. You're absolutely correct nobody should take responsibility to teach new roleplayers. Because all may seem mingy now totally means they'll never fit into the community and should be outcasted out of our superior roleplay servers! /sarcasm
Both of these listed like many others in the old community (Even if I remember
@Blackquill speaking once, he joined the TS because he got banned in Hl2RP. I should of added him to that list too. But I feel like the point was hammered) kinda make your statement there a walking paradox of cynical bullshit. While some people may never go past being a minge, we have a loooot of people here from LP who were just given a chance. Hudson crusaded for Mpower, defending Mendel made me tired sometimes but honestly? It was worth it.
3 + 4: Huh, the playerbase was the only problem, huh? Are we pretty positive on that one?
5. Thanks for sharing! I remember you ERPing too. It's really hard to get me to regret my life decisions, but oh boy.
6. Actually, most of the problem would likely fall to the "super serious roleplayers" if you're in a script where the weapons are the most polished feature, you can't blame people for fighting or wanting to S2K. Even, though I get that the set up itself was frustrating within itself the end facts were a lot of those people labeled as S2kers did actually try at some point to RP more with others only to be faced with getting labeled as bad for the server and generally disrespected. The truth is when WW3 was best was when both sides had a healthier respect for each other and nobody really bothered with setting S2ker camps and srs rper camps and you know just did the thing they wanted to do and created a lot of roleplay usually hand in hand with each other.
7.
@Mendel and
@Dallas wrote up some baller ass events, and I had some planned but nobody really had an interest in it including a decent portion of the "srs" rper crowd and given you know the TDM events filled the server even with people from earlier crowd it makes me inclined to think not many roleplay heavy events weren't there for a reason, while I am not the biggest fan of having operations decide a campaign, that's about my only gripe.
Anyways, tl;dr. If you really want to know the problem with WW3RP was? Take look at the post you wrote Spectre, and just re-read through it. It's fairly obvious where most of the problem lies.
There you go.
