one day Powley approaches me wanting to do HaloRP as LP was sinking faster than the Titanic, but then I remembered (mostly) everyone liked the concept of FTRP so I suggested we do that instead
but alas that was due to the rose-tinted goggles of nostalgia
afterwards, we had plans for our own community based around FTRP as the core gamemode and actually had some financial resources set aside before Toasty came outta nowhere with the nebulous.cloud plans and we eventually migrated there along with the rest of the potential playerbase
then you know the story after that, we attempted another iteration of FTRP but due to my gross lack of experience with being an SD as well as a lack of preparation in some departments amidst other things that i can't remember from the top of my head it eventually crashed and burned along with my motivation and creativity, not to mention
@Powley was in a car crash early into the weeks after launch so officially it was me and Toasty handling the behind-the-scenes things like applications, staff, etc whilst the staff team functioned on the server, Bork and Thy doing their quests as well as everyone else and whatnot.
I also had exams at the time so it was a massive juggle between studying/horrendous amounts of coursework and dealing with the server when it was some days where I was solely running things
and with that, I learned that it can be stressful being an SD of a hyped gamemode with everything riding on you and the staff for success, and unfortunately I - and FTRP - learned that the hard way. It was a shame to see the gamemode become attached to the reputation it is today but in the end that's down to the fact that it could've been handled much,
much better than it was
nonetheless it was an enlightening crash course and as much as I regret a lot of things about the way things went I still had fun in the end, and it brings me to commend SD's like roosebud and BQ, the latter fervently juggling between CM and SD
in essence, FTRP could've and would've been executed far better if I had been prepared for undertaking SD, but I can't lie that FTRP had some really gucci moments
but yeah back on topic after that I went to WW3RP, played as staff for the majority of my time there, took another break for first set of exams, came back, gotta take another break for exams in May
there's an extensive history of my time here
despite the fact that FTRP was actually the original iteration on LP (and NC as a result) and has spawned on different communities in the past, long before LP
i think you're slabbering about QZRP lmao
