I realize that it sounds that way but I mean I love the feel of hanging out with you're faction and building it up and defending and general steampunk fun

I'm sorry to complain...
..but I've waited what, about two days now to get whitelisted?!?!
I've been accepted, and still, I'm not on the whitelist! I've been checking every once in a while to see if I'd finally been given permissions, but no! *sigh* This is beginning to bug me a whole lot. I would at least like some explanation as to why I and others aren't whitelisted yet. I'm seriously considering dropping this server to find another-but I really dont want to! Please take this into consideration.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Procrastinator? No! I just wait until the last second to do my work because I will be older, therefore wiser.
Alright rev since i refuse to pay for this server anymore i have verified my paypal to allow donations. From now on the server will run on donations because im not going to pay for something i am not going to utilize. Once everything is set up i will give you the beastnode password.
I did only write a few sentences but later noticed that others had written paragraphs. I was confused at the term "RP Example" as that could mean any length, but I digress.
RP example: The air smelt of gunpowder as the smoke cleared and only I was standing. The floor of the ship is littered with COG scum. I wipe my feet on a soldier's trousers before strolling to the lower decks. As I ease the door open the bitter stench of whiskey wafts under my nose. "No wonder..." I mutter to myself as I saunter over to the Captain's Quarters. The door is locked, not to my surprise, so I pull out my Geardriver and get to work. It is a simple mechanism, but has been double bolted and takes me about 2 minutes to pry off. All the while I hear the scuffling of the spineless man's feet. I open the door to find her.
A woman? Surely this is some hallucination. The steam from the engines must be getting to me if before me is the trembling, crying figure of a woman that I am about to murder. But there she is. I raise my left pistol and do away with her in two shots as she lets out one last whimper. I loot the jewelry off of the corpses, snatch the gold pieces from the counter tops and make my way to the top of the mast. I deploy the dynamite charges as the escape ladder is rolled down from my getaway airship and watch the carnage crash into the briny depths of the sea.
I am going to have to check with Julian next time I find a supplier, he'll know the details on my targets. I am greeted with a light clap as I make my way to my cabin and take a hot, uncomfortable nap in the middle of June.
I just want to say that we have rules on this server for a reason. They are meant to be followed by everyone. I had to ban an admin today for griefing a faction area to the point of having to rebuild from scratch. when/if you come back you will be stripped of your admin title.
But I feel like my time as an owner has long since ended. I tire of logging in daily to have to deal with people spamming global with useless things or people going on and breaking rules in front of my face. Time and time again I have banned and gotten the whipslash of not only those whom I have banned but those who have been banned by others and have deserved it.
I feel like I have long since lost who I was, a tolerant person and have become someone I didn't want to be, a person who gets walked all over and when I actually try to state out the truth or the rules, I just get shoved on my face and apparently me, the person who is trying to make the server a good place for everyone in the wrong? I feel like everyone is trying bypass the rules, find one small flaw and blame me for the system. I tire of having to go very specific, having to have people break rules daily and put me in the blame. It doesn't feel good if I'm always the bad guy.
The other thing is how this server has long since evolved into something I didn't want it to be. I wrote it to be simple; an oppressing government vs the people who hate the government, it's a diverse thing that if you choose to be in a faction it's like "Do I wanna be in a strict high end military or do I want to be the liberator"? But now it feels like my lore and everything that has been written has long since been screwed over. Apparently we're going to have two governments and that would just seem... Kind of bland.
Not to mention, a faction base has long since been destroyed and everyone who worked hard in it is going to be rewritten with their characters and now I have to write new lore about a substitute? And now I have to lead it. I feel stressed enough that I have midterms and then I am forced to bend over backwards for a server.
I can't even get on skype without someone complaining to me or telling me what's going on on the server. I even put my status as "Don't talk to me about server things" and yet time and time again I am contacted and harassed about fixing something.
And then apparently I am at fault for everything, for not letting people break rules or play the way they want making me the bad guy.
I am done.
Unless convinced otherwise. I have the donations set up and everything. If you want me to stay and keep the server going, convince me. Because I tire this thing evolving into something I never intended it to be and I'm tired of being hazed or needed for small things once I log on server. I feel like it's been long that I grew tired of this server because I have my hands full on things to ever build or RP or have fun anymore.
If you want to continue playing on server, say so now, and try to fix things.
I am tired of trying to fix it all myself.
I want to know who's support I have before the server and I crumble.
edit:
If this server were to end:
I don't want anyone to try to rebuild it, if you do please use a different name. I don't intend for my writing to further be butchered and then have it become nothing than what I intended it to be. I feel like we are straying away from the main theme of this server and it makes me feel bad as I, a fan of steampunk myself see people delighted to see a steampunk server but I get complaints about it not being steampunk enough, or feeling myself it isn't at all.
If we continue:
I beg that there will be less rule breaking and less focus on obsessing over guns and PVP. This is a roleplay server and it feels like we've long since strayed away from roleplaying and now it's like "who has the bigger ship" or "Who has the best guns or more guns". I request there be less chaos, I don't want to run a server where no one can even get to own a ship without one being constantly blown up or stolen.
I request moderation.
rev, I would like to see the sever continue, perhaps in game change your user name so you are not bombarded by people. I suggest a brake and get the mods to hardline the rules to show no messing, and change the rule to no griefing. This is a great sever and I really enjoy it so I hope it continues
If you want I have some ideas about the law and would be quite happy to help
Rev, don't let noobs/newbies get you down so quickly. If they complain and whine about things too much in game, just /mute them or /ignore them. You aren't the bad guy, if you were bad, you wouldn't be working so hard to keep this community up. Your a good person Rev, a very good one. Now im not saying this to get good rep with you, I'm saying this on the behalf of the server.
I love this server, even though I'm barely active, it's really fun. So keep in mind, you can ignore all of the people who get on your nerves, /ignore, /mute, block them from Skype for a time, or block them from any way of communication for a time. That's it for now, I hope that convinces you.
"Do not pray for easy lives, pray to be stronger men"
here here I completely agree. You are a good person
:smile.gif:
Just ignore the annoying ones as if you spend to much time paying attention to them you will find your time has been wasted
I think that if cog dying is the problem we should just restore the map back to pre-riot and delete the faction and then remake it with a new leader. And commando, if we are to accept donations I'd rather it be on rev's paypal as this I her server.
I have to agree with rev, although I have not really been helpful in fixing these issues it has been straying from its original idea. I created Guns to be an addition on the server, not the main point of it. If removing Guns will help to bring the server back to how it is supposed to be we may have to do that, although I personally would love to see them still being used the server's integrity is more important.
I vote to keep the server going but instead we default back to the beginning, if needed we can plan out lore beforehand as to give better shape to it and continue on the main time line. The CoG was never meant to be defeated, but was a result of commando having never been on to lead it and no second in command being named. While I was not as active as I should be for Bones, we do not require a strong leadership to function. I love this server, and have always tried to continue it and make it grow. I will work to make it continue and prosper only if that is the will of the people and you rev. So now it is up to the players, hopefully they can convince you to continue this going and if not then it has been a great ride.

Zim havent you noticed that the ip hasnt changed since the vault? We are still using my server i just let her run things as owner, I still pay the monthly fee. And tyler i did name a second in command but he was banned. But anyway I vote we continue this server running on donations. And i vote we bring back ossendar as dev guy. Sorry tyler

Thought I'd have my 2 cents.
First of all Rev your probably one of THE most hard working owners of a server out there! Not only are you managing a very active and large server. But you've also got real world problems like exams to deal with.
Without a doubt this is easily one of the best servers out there that I have had the pleasure of playing on. I can completely understand how being the owner of such an active server could become so stressful(especially with the immaturity of certain individuals). Hell sometimes just looking at the number of complaints and or request in global can be enough to make even me a little angry and I'm not a staff member.
This community of players ( from which quite a few members have been around since the vault over 4-5 months ago) is one of the best out there. I feel it would be a great shame to see it come to an end because of hard working individuals like yourself, being overrun by the endless request's and or complaints from members.
As has been pointed out quite clearly the lore has been kicked aside and it's become a pissing contest over who has the biggest ship/guns etc.
I feel if we want this server to continue the rules may have to be more severe/strict (But that's not for me to decide). I think the key point here is that a great deal of input is needed from the community to ensure we stay on track.
In short this is a great server, and you are a great person Rev - regardless of what others may say.
This may seem a bit forward but I feel I may as well just say it.
I don't know if your recruiting for mods at the moment but I'd like to put my name forward. I've been a head admin on an large and busy creative server before and I'm pretty good at resolving issues. Furthermore half of the time i'm on this server I don't do a whole lot other than farm/craft which means the other half of the time I'm not doing anything highly productive. Id be happy to sacrifice this time to help assist with the hefty amounts of issues that players seem to be having., especially if it means that other such as yourself rev get a chance to relax and enjoy the server.

I think he deserves it if the server continues. He has been around since i started on the vault. He is a good player and he treats everyone with respect. He helps people when he can. Lastly he is active. In short i believe he is good mod material.
Commando, I request that if we do continue the server, I really need what it is to make me full owner.
You said yourself that you wanted to be treated like every other player on our community. If I have to be owner and take the heat for running the server, I want to have the same responsibility of paying it. I don't want you to have to spend your money on the server and I have to babysit it; if people want it running, then we will need some money to keep it up and going. I say we use my paypal and try to get the beastnode fully in my name, that way, if you ever want to quit you don't have to worry about even looking in the beastnode to do anything or do whatever it is with it. You don't even have to be admin anymore if you so choose.
I say if people want to continue making the server run, my paypal is here.
Not only do I need support in word, I need support in paying. I don't have a job, and I don't do anything else to get me paid besides allowance. I might try freelancing again if you guys want the server to keep going.
I just have to say, we only have 3 days until it fully shuts down.
Zim havent you noticed that the ip hasnt changed since the vault? We are still using my server i just let her run things as owner, I still pay the monthly fee. And tyler i did name a second in command but he was banned. But anyway I vote we continue this server running on donations. And i vote we bring back ossendar as dev guy. Sorry tyler
If your second in command was banned you should have tried to get another, and as for ossendar being a dev go ahead. If everyone wants ossendar back as dev that is fine with me, I have no problem with it. I only think that it is a bad idea for one, he has serious problems with me, and two, he has be banned for breaking rules now. Hopefully we can continue this server going but if not, It has been fun and hate to see the community fall.

Correction, his second in command was banned for only three days then got unbanned and broke more rules.
Not only that but he took commando's ship and tried to take another illegal ship.
Not only that, but he smuggled beta launch, and I wonder why he is not still banned.
Edit:
Not only that, but he constantly tugs at my apron backseating all the time.

Then he should be perm banned and commando should find a new second in command, that is if we continue.
rp example is lacking
accepted, though cog is for lack of a better word gone
