thank you sir! def forgot a few in there, such as @badhbh, but there are a lotta people around here who made a huge impact over the years!

YOUVE GOT MY VOTE MSABA MAKE SAN ANDREAS BAG AGAIN

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

This may be, singlehandedly, the saltiest reply I've ever received. You can stop begging me for the justifications for Matt's promotion, seeing as I highly doubt it'll satisfy your craving to be right. Your proof of my hypocrisy is, what exactly? Interacting with members of the faction? My brother in Christ, I do not know nor care what happened between 2021 and early 2024 - I wasn't here. From my return in May to my exit in the end of October, I was deeply involved with the faction. I spoke to a lot of people I don't consider friends, nor do I like, in an effort to be professional and make a difference. Iudex and I stopped talking when he became Undersheriff, as it was clear what was to occur. Matter of fact. What's insane to me is how you accuse me of things without actually showcasing a fleshed-out argument for it. Who do I cozy up to when I was already ES before? Myself? Iudex and I were going to go into Executive Staff within a short period of time whether we sought it out or not. Iudex actually never benefited me in any of my promotions seeing as he never had a single hand in them, it was purely Brasi and Jack. Romiro and I butted heads so much we barely even spoke. I'm not even gonna stoop so low as to call you a liar considering the fact you're regurgitating information you've likely been told 2nd hand, by people without a positive intent in their body. You also say you never thought highly of me - Thank you for showcasing your responses are emotionally-driven and not rooted into repairing the issues that got LS-RP to the place it is. You only serve 1 purpose on this thread, and it's to try and be a troll and cause havoc because of a vendetta against SD leadership that found you to be incompetent. Don't you have a Youtube video dedicated to trashing SEB? Why, cause your feelings got hurt because you weren't chosen to be the lead-DMer? Discord DMs between Iudex and I on the day he got U/S The day we all got tired of it. My conversation with Wildcat about Iudex You talk about being spineless and gullible, but brother, I knew what was happening from the jump. I was here to do one simple thing - Enjoy the game and not let people take that from me. What drove me away? Mismanagement, dead faction, dead playerbase. I'm used to working with incredulous, slimy little snakes like you Saucedo.

I didn't give reasons for it because I don't need to prove to you that Matt was prepared for promotion. As a matter of fact, Matt and I weren't even friends nor did we have any personal level conversations until after the LSSD's leadership team exploded. What's crazier about this is... the only person Matt needed to 'prove' himself to (I put 'prove' because this is a fucking video game) was me, as I was his direct ES Liaison. He satisfied that and we put him up for promotion. Per ES regulations, CS promotions may not occur without the TOTAL agreement of ES, meaning 100%. If one person dissents to your promotion, you do not get promoted. These regulations were used against Matt, Cano, and Justitiae. But were ignored for Storm's promotion, despite myself and Unlawful showcasing clear dissent to the promotion at that time. That is why we are where we are. That is the mismanagement I speak of. All reasons why Matt was eligible for promotion were communicated to official channels. But you just can't accept that, Saucedo. You begged for position, begged for rank, threw a fit when you didn't get it, and went inactive when you were told to earn it. You're holding out hatred and aggression toward Matt because he grew into a position that you, unrightfully, felt was yours. Operations Sergeant would have been your position if you didn't have the problems you're showcasing right now — an inflated ego, an aggressive mindset, and an inability to have dialogue without becoming accusatory or disrespectful. That manifesto you speak of wasn't written by me for no reason. Michael and Izumi reached out to me to get my opinion. I simply shared what I told to them, since that's the only thing I've written in detail about this entire situation involving the SD and previous/current leadership. It's pretty impressive how this thread became a 'who's friends with who' contest. All of you glazing Storm or white-knighting for Iudex are really showing your true colors. You say we're all friends and try to help each other, but you're working hard to dismantle the perspectives of the actual people who have the experience and the time in rank to have been exposed to these issues. We complain about inexperienced, illogical people running things — yet we listen to the loud, salty minority of people who burned their chances to gain the experience. So instead they scream from the tops of the buildings about stuff they have absolutely zero knowledge about. Unfortunately, being a member of a faction and failing to earn ranks that you whined about not getting, does not qualify you as an expert in that factions leadership. Despite you wishing you were.

Wonderfully written with actual, real experiences. Thank you!

i love you BowZ my pastebin was regarding a reply that was focused on Iudex, it was from months and months ago

Fair! Just sad to see the prime example of what is wrong with this server. Angry, misinformed, inexperienced, illogical people tossing their aggressive opinions into the hat. These are the people @Eren is speaking about, with incredible amounts of trollish toxicity. Yet complacency is the preferred option. Follow the path of least resistance. These are the enemies within your own kingdom. Thankfully I have nothing holding me to this kingdom any longer!

No argument from my end! But definitely not in good taste for this to be the only response to come from any lead admin! As far as @jcgortez, he still calls it the SASD. That's all that needs to be said about the validity of his opinion. Read the thread where we wanted to promote hi- Oh wait you can't.

Not to give you any more attention than your self-inflated egotistical character wants, but I'd like to go into this a little bit more. I immediately confronted Iudex when I returned to the server and him and I became friends, though I knew he would snake me out eventually. I can give you Discord logs of me discussing this with friends from back then, and even now. Iudex still snaked me, and a lot of people out. Surprising, isn't it? No, not at all. I just hoped 4 years of growing-up would have fixed his issues, but they didn't. Faction leadership in a channel with other faction leadership?!?!?! THE HORROR!!! Brother, do you realize the amount of shit we did? Pretty sure my resignation topic was the only one to get a thank you from Iudex, seeing as I put in crazy amounts of work into DD. You are the reason the server is in the position it's in, with your own mastubatory 'better roleplayer' comment, it's evident you have no idea how to have a conversation. You are the only one allowed to be correct.

While I appreciate your ability to be told what to feel, and feeling it, your opinion is ridiculously irrelevant when you start reading into what you’re saying. Iudex rode on the coattails of myself and others who put an unbelievable amount of work into the faction. It seems your lack of access and knowledge has become your own undoing. You posted stats from a publicly accessible forum. I’m so proud of you. You have no frame of reference for the actual work put in behind the scenes because you were never able to earn the positions to do so. As far as Brasi goes, I did try to make changes within my position. Brasi, Iudex, and the failure of HoLF put a halt to all of it. You say my pastebin is shit yet you only say that cause you’re too busy wiping Iudex off your lips, seeing as you have zero clue about what you’re speaking of, my good friend.

Hey guys! I am no longer an active part of this community due to the egregious nature that the staff team, more specifically the faction management aspect of it, has been run. I will not be pasting 4 paragraphs like everyone else simply because I am tired of putting mass amounts of effort into a dying community. But I'll gladly hit you with some shorthand information that will help you line up the issues here. People have failed you. A lot of people have failed you. You're constantly being failed by your inactive lead admin and senior administrative team. Unlike the rest of you with skin in the game, I have none. For that reason, I think it's best we do some name-and-shame. Unfortunately, @izumihas failed you several times. If you've been active in this community, you may have seen this post But the response given by Izumi was "This isn't a rule for regular players to suggest. This is an admin rule." - That was in September. 3 months later and we're having the same issues. Last time I checked @izumi @Mmartin @badhbh(never even seen you) - without your community, your admin team is worth fuck-all. Your 'regular players' feed you, provide something for you to do, and pay to keep this server running. Kindly fuck off with the 'not for regular players to suggest' cause that's a load of horse shit. Your entire purpose is to serve the regular players of this community. You failed to serve the community, so you're losing it. On the other hand of where Izumi has failed you, the players, has been in their ludicrous mismanagement as Head of Legal Factions. A few months ago, several key leaders of LSSD left within a short period of time due to extreme leadership concerns and issues. People that had been around for years and had put time and effort into this. A massive faction report was filed against the LSSD for mismanagement. I have put my response to the faction report in this pastebin link here. Unfortunately, Izumi is known to be very friendly with Iudex and co, as can be exampled by how we were asked, and I quote "Were you involved in organising mass resignations or rebellions against LSSD faction leaders?" THE SAME FACTION LEADER IZUMI WORKED TO PROTECT, HE WAS FORCED TO BAN FOR CHEATING. IN RESPONSE, THEY PROMOTED ANOTHER CONTROVERSIAL FIGURE INTO THE SHERIFF POSITION, WHO DOESN'T EVEN HAVE INTERNET LOL The admin team failed Michael and now he's back to being Grey-Name Imperium. The admin team constantly fails the playerbase and now it's dying. DYING. 17 players when I get home is crazy, when it used to be 250. The lead admin team has been constantly failing MMartin and the administrative team. Inaction from Martin's side speaks volumes as well. Here is another example where you're BEING IGNORED AND BEING FAILED AS A MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY. Horrific mismanagement and inexperienced, privileged, entitled people running things is what's killing this community. But what do I know. I've only been around since 2012 and have been in SD leadership for a majority of that time. Let's rattle a list of people who I genuinely have never seen in-game or on the forums: @badhbh @bobster @Dos Santos @jungsaeo The five of you are in positions of great power. Where are you in this? Look at Eren's post and look at your activity, are you inadvertently staring into a mirror? With the powers and positions you are in, if you aren't working to fix the problem, you ARE part of the problem. Quite frankly, I applaud you guys for dishing out so much effort into trying to fix this place, but it's past repairable. The wrong people were put into the wrong positions under false pretenses and they fucking blew it. They waffled. They failed. They failed YOU. They failed MARTIN. I applaud, genuinely, the efforts of Martin because I know how much he loves this place. Years ago we used to play CSGO and it was evident THEN that he had an immense amount of love for this place. It's a shame that those he trusted should have never been there in the first place.
