Can we bring back the old playerbase count?

I think it’s best to acknowledge this - whilst asapdev is no doubt a talented developer, his motives and refusal to help out until being given developer access and stuff you can only access after signing an NDA, amongst other things I won’t disclose publicly, means this isn’t going to happen. I tried to work with him previously so that he could contribute as he says he wishes to do, but we couldn’t find mutual terms.

 

 

First of all, thank you for considering me a talented developer.

 

I did not refuse to help in any way until I was given what I could access. I tried to reach out to you and others in the dev team, but none of you got back to me in time. It's also worth noting that I haven't been formally approached about being a developer, which means that your statement “we couldn’t find mutual terms” doesn't hold any truth.

 

 

 

When I contacted you about my suggestion about “Better Roads”, I was in the process of moving from my current location. Nevertheless, I contacted you and told you that I would provide you with the necessary files soon, and when I was going to deliver the files to you, I found out that I was banned. I waited to find out the reason for my ban and to be unbanned, and then I would deliver the files to you. I think that all of this is not because I did not “find mutual terms” with Development Team , but because Development Team did not take enough time to deal with me and did not contact me.

 

Obviously there is a misunderstanding, I would love to be a developer for LSRP. If you reach me “on time” and really want to talk to find mutual terms, please add me on discord (I'm already friends with you @Cashew)

 

Thank you.

Time to give @asapdev a fair chance. Cause we firstly need a consistent developer on the development of the SAMP server. If he is up for it! @Mmartin
 

 

 

Thank you for support.

I hope we in fact don't have any leakers on the staff team.

can tell you from personal knowledge you’re got more than leakers… the amount of hackers on the staff team is crazy haha

Shocking, do you feel some admins have more street cred which is why they're still staff? Screams favouritism, and in the real world it's something HR needs to look into.. what do we call HR here?

I'm not at liberty to disclose too much as a former staff member and developer, however i feel like leaking is a cardinal sin and should result in execution (or expulsion)

Is that why Iudex got removed? He stood against the equilibrium and your colleagues removed him instead of removing the actual people who ruin the server?

I'm surprised at the amounts of time my name was mentioned. All I did in the LSSD was promote capable people who have integrity and a vision for the faction with the correct experience. Despite people leaving cause they didn't get a shiny rank within a few ranks of one, trying to get listed on speedrun . com for their achievements in LSSD. 

 

We had certain people trying to go from DS to ES within a couple of months, when it took people years to achieve that rank for the first time. Kayayday and I were REINSTATED into ES based on our experience in the past and our ability to run factions unlike some people who had zero to no experience in handling the bureaucracy. I personally was involved in having people like Azuko promoted into ES by vouching for them and their abilities, so it's odd I'm shunned by them when I was their biggest supporter.

 

Storm was promoted by agreement of LFM, Brasi and Azuko! Suprisingly Azuko agreed to it, but states the contrary here and I have nothing against Azuko, the opposite. I am one of his biggest supporters and I personally think he did a lot for the faction. Storm deserved the promotion. The only one to disagree with it was Unlawful on the basis of, "He has done nothing in TB, all he has done is work for WTU." 

 

We decided that the vote he cast was invalid because it contradicts itself. He states he has only done work for WTU and not TB, when WTU is actually part of TB. Once Storm was promoted to Commander, the faction was revived. 

 

Matt's promotion was denied because:

 

1) He constantly was AFK on duty to get ABAS up, once being /kicked by myself even admin-to-admin for AFKing in public.

2) He left abruptly and resigned himself from SOD without informing ES, until he had to be spoken to, to revert it.

3) He did not work much in ELS and openly told us he was not interested in it, this is documented in the Sheriff's private forum.

 

Matt was capable at the end of his tenure and was due to be promoted to CPD Commander, but we had 0 reason to rush it and promote him 1-2 week(s) after his resignation from SOD. It felt like just a means to promote him and this was documented in the Sheriff's forum.

 

Storm on the other hand, never resigned like Matt and co, always stayed in the faction and was loyal to the faction itself, not any specific person or resigned when he was made to wait for a promotion or assignment. Based on contributions, ABAS and divisional work, Storm was easily the best option to move up to Commander and even ES. Unlike others, he actually cared about the faction and not the rank.

 

I'm surprised at the amount of lies people spew, especially things that are made up. I'm more disappointed about certain people who I always backed and thought highly of. Azuko, I never snaked him at all, so it's confusing to see people try to speak up about things that never happened.

 

I think that LFM is a great asset to the server is working fine! 

 

Despite any accusations made against me, I did a lot for the faction and this cannot be denied. The best decision I made was promoting Kayayday and Storm & reinstating Duco. They truly care for the faction and will always run it like I imagined. 

 

As for ScubaStef, he was a notorious and prominent leaker within our faction, leading us on a "Catch Me if You Can" chase that lasted for a while, leaking private confidential faction material, at some point he even tried to bargain with ES saying he won't ajail @Paxton Bagwell if we complied with his demands in a recorded TeamSpeak conversation (I still have it), we did not comply, we have more integrity than that.

 

He was warned about handling scenes and saying the N word on TeamSpeak. He kept being racist and this is also recorded and available. He kept handling scenes as an admin that were not allowed to handle. He was unfair to players. This is not to mention his unfairness during an admin situation as a player of LSSD. He came across a situation where a man had a shotgun /place'd in a car and ScubaSteve saw the gun cause of his illegal car modification 

 

(ScubaSteve's game, when he was so DM-hungry that he RPed it taped to the exhaust, when a normal Premier showed it was physically inside the car.)

And he decided it must be RPed taped to the exhaust. This was absurd and wild. That's why we could not handle his quality of RP (or lack thereof). So I implore the staff team to open an inquiry into his position, as he was reported multiple times and even certain leads are confused as to why he is still an admin. A racist, leaker and RPG player does not belong on LS-RP. 

 

This is not to mention ScubaSteve spectates not just players, but admins randomly. 

 

(Stefan Castillo being the only person who was not at the place. He was spectating us without due cause and reason!)

 

He is a notorious rule breaker, and it is surprising to see his kind still on the admin team. His warning of Storm on the forum is simply retaliation for his failed career in the LSSD. 

 

 

Despite the numerous allegations against my name, I did the best for the faction despite the coup d'etats orchestrated against my faction to get me removed. People were going around shopping for others to resign (Proof is available in the private Sheriff forum) and their coordination was lackluster which is why they failed. We even had people be friendly with us while leaking to others trying to get us removed, which is sad and unforunate. 

 

People tried to brownnose @Kayayday, @Storm or I and be all good-good with us but ended up trying to spy for others when we are simply ordinary and good-natured players, trying to find any fault with us. 

 

The very same people who tried to complain to LFM and still complain to LFM right now are ones who:

 

1) Want to bring back the SASD (2014 version)

2) Used SPAS-12 on SWAT deployment to undermine criminal RPers

3) Used Sultans to drive-by suspects and tried again to undermine our criminal RPers

4) Used admin commands (ScubaSteve) to identify criminal RPers while on TeamSpeak (leaking) to target them (documented in Sheriff forum)

 

This is the things I can recall from the top of my head, but these people did not nor do they have the best intentions for the LSSD in their mind. They want to revert it to the stone age to increase shootings with the illegal faction population and at some point advocated for AIR patrols to call out guns anywhere. 

 

@Kayayday, @Duco and @Storm's administration is the opposite. They are with the illegal side of roleplayers which is why I promoted them. They are people who were around from the start of the server and handled it before. Not like certain people who have zero to no experience.

At this point throw the whole staff team out and start fresh with a select few 

[frost.]

my post may get deleted after this, but im not surprised at the playerbase dropping.

 

you got admins like Eren banning players without even asking both parties what exactly is going on. ive been banned twice by eren and in both those occasions not once was i asked what am i doing, what lead to this xyz. never have i ever seen that happen on lsrp. what is this? a dictatorship?

 

in my honest opinion, ifm never really had a backbone, they never really put their foot down and was too scared to outvote people in management and get rid of certain people who have clearly done wrong.

 

as always, when you make a staff report, nothing really happens as the outcome. why is management too scared to get rid of staff members that are clearly incompetent and making the playerbase decrease even more?

 

ive heard and seen so many scenes of ScubaStef trying to fish more DM, but when he gets absolutely killed in a scene, he tends to cry like a little baby. is this the attitude an admin should have? especially if you're on /duty and spawn back in with the guns. honestly @Iudex im not surprised ScubaStef is a notorious rulebreaker and leaker, people think they can get away because they're admin, and that tends to be the problem.

 

when testers were reported at the peak of the server, the testers were clearly in the wrong but they were brought back because of "clean staff record" when it was blatant DM. why are we bringing back staff members who are blatantly rulebreaking and killing anyone and everyone for no reason? what on earth is "clean staff record" and "education over punishment"?

 

i've seen someone with one ban from years ago get banned for DMing, this clearly isn't education over punishment

 

people don't make staff reports because it's too much of an effort to go on the forums and wait weeks for it to get handled

 

you remove admins like @Iudex who actually know what they're doing and how to actually administrate on the server, a good admin on the server. but yet you keep admins like scubastef who are abusing their position and singlehandedly ruining the playerbase

This thread has gone on long enough and has gone far off topic. Instead of being constructive, people have decided to attack other members of the community. Forum bans have been given out along with discord bans for those that decided to carry this there. Locked.

[jack]

It is not our intention to go on a spree of hiding posts and banning members of the community from the forum for simply stating their experiences with certain staff members. We've already been through some of the hidden responses and unhidden those that were not directly attacking someone or stirring the pot, ones that did will not be unhidden, not because we are censoring but they add nothing to this discussion. We are also unlocking this post so allow further discussion between the community, but that means;

 

This is a final warning, if this becomes a channel to just argue and share issues with particular members of the community or staff then I don't want to see it. If you have issues with staff and have evidence to back up your statements I want to see a staff report submitted so we can ensure it is being handled accordingly.

 

This isn't a topic either for players who are banned to try and prove their innocence, we have staff reports and appeals for this and it should be utilised. Same as before, if this is the case then I want to see it submitted.

 

Come together as one and share valid and constructive feedback, constant back and forth with members only floods and hides what could be important messages.
