...so you built it as a joke? As in you built a swastika to make fun of someone else's swastika?

Am i missing something?

what a delinquent

↩  lyicx I don't know what I was thinking
Leaving my child behind
Now I suffer the curse
Knowing now I am blind
With all this anger, guilt and sadness
Coming to haunt me forever
I can't wait for the cliff at the end of the river
Is this revenge I am seeking
Or seeking someone to avenge me?
Stuck in my own paradox
I wanna set myself free
Maybe I should chase and find
Before they'll try to stop it
It won't be long before I'll become a puppet
It's been so long
Since I last have seen my son
Lost to this monster
To the man behind the slaughter
Since you've been gone
I've been singing this stupid song
So I could ponder
The sanity of your mother
I wish I lived in the present
With the gift of my past mistakes
But the future keeps luring in like a pack of snakes
Your sweet little eyes
Your little smile, is all I remember
Those fuzzy memories mess with my temper
Justification is killing me
But killing isn't justified
What happened to my son, I'm terrified
It lingers in my mind
And the thought keeps on getting bigger
I'm sorry my sweet baby
I wish I've been there
It's been so long
Since I last have seen my son
Lost to this monster
To the man behind the slaughter
Since you've been gone
I've been singing this stupid song
So I could ponder
The sanity of your mother

Hello all.

Recently it has come to my attention that our Executive Community Manager, otherwise known as Lyicx, has been trolling and being a general overall buffoon. He has entertained this idea that we are being "racist" towards him, which is entirely untrue and baseless. In fact, it is quite ironically the opposite. You see, we refer to him as names such as "purple man" which is not in fact racism but rather a true, valid fact. This therefore cannot be used as a viable excuse for changing his skin. This is a ridiculous, foolish, evil misuse of his powers given to him and I therefore request his immediate removal from status. Such slander towards the reputation of TotalFreedom and her staff cannot be allowed any further.

Lyicx has changed his skin from the aforementioned purple man to this monstrosity.
. Not only does it make him look like his blood has been drained by something unworldly, it doesn't look natural like a representative of TotalFreedom should be.

Do you guys really want this guy representing our community?

thanks, Luke.

Interesting

fwiw i'm referring to the 2nd plan here..

↩  RedEastWood Constructive criticism is one thing, which I entertain, downright disrespect and actively going out of your way to find flaws with, exploit, and crash a TF server is another.

I seem to recall giving my opinion in a way that wasn't disrespectful nor did it make me go out of my way to find flaws. you then said the whole 'if you dont like it then leave' thing..

Quote

↩  RedEastWood The plans to expand TF into a network haven’t been secret in any way. Ryan has stated many times that this was his end goal, and when it was said initially it was ignored for the most part. Now that the plan is well in motion, there seems to be a huge community backlash

Is it really news to you that we didn't read what Ryan put fully? Are you forgetting we were literally weeks following Seth's deletion, we had no other alternative and Ryan was kind enough to host temporarily, and showed that he was good enough to be an owner during that period? Shit was chaotic. Forgive me for not reading everything he put and forgetting the things I did read.

↩  RedEastWood I’d also like to point out that this wonderful and rich community being talked about here lives in the forums and in discord - not in game. A lot of the people I saw posting on the official announcement have not been in game for a considerable amount of time. As such I feel the need to question the nature of this community - if it does not play the actual game and only talks on the forums/discord, then what is the issue when it comes to editing the game?

What's your point here? They can't challenge what you're doing because they're inactive? If that's the case let's ban them from voting on apps, suggestions, etc as well as disallow them to talk about anything related to TF in a critical way.

Quote

↩  RedEastWood If the active community on the forums and discord played the game, we wouldn’t need to do any of this. Perhaps you don’t want to play, don’t find it interesting anymore, or don’t find it fun anymore. If this is the case, then let us do what we think is best for TF’s future, and move it forward.

So tl;dr the gamemode we hate is our fault for not being active enough, we should be quiet because we're too inactive to know what's happening and we need to move on?

Red seriously I get you're frustrated by this. I truly do, I've managed servers before and I know full well how it feels to put in effort just to be chatisised and whatnot. However, you've gotta stop this whole attitude of downright trying to tell us we need to just 'leave it', saying it's our fault for not playing enough, telling us to like it or leave, or being downright aggressive.

This is just my opinion, in the interest in not making another thread like the debacle from a few nights ago I likely won't be responding.

fuck shit

i'm gonna miss the cunt. he was a twat, but a necessary twat. every server needs a twat like him. guess i've gotta step up

it's downright insulting at times. being told 'yeah well we're doing it anyway, fuck off if you don't like it'. i've been here for 3 years now and in some cases it feels like i don't belong here anymore because we're now looking to have a big playerbase in a network instead of an actual community.

i understand entirely you can't please everyone. i understand it's also unreasonable for yall to cater to my every demand. however i dont think its unreasonable to ask yall acknowledge my (and everyone's) opinion without telling me to just go away if i don't agree. if i (and everyone else who's been here longer than me) mean that little then the TF that actually kept people in is dead. and it will continue to stagnate. yall can throw reasons like 'its because the freedom aspect doesnt work' but when the existing community goes, the fault lies with you.

↩  simplynick i mean theres drama (e.g. my shite in Jan, Ashaz's forum sanction earlier in the year, etc) and then theres all this shit. Theres petty arguing then theres all out flaming that is frankly just laughable.

Objection.

↩  RedEastWood And as I said, if you would let me actually talk and finish what I was saying before freaking out,

What the fuck do you mean 'let me finish', all you said was that paid ranks are coming and that it's Ryan's decision, and that we need to shut up

↩  RedEastWood then go for it lol but when this shit dies its on your hands

Quote

↩  Shdwo You can't act like TotalFreedom was perfect before the idea of a "network" was introduced.

i'm not acting this way in the slightest

Quote

↩  Shdwo I guarantee you there has been people that have joined and left because they didn't like the way TF used to be ran.

And?

Quote

↩  Shdwo The exact same scenario applies here, you can't please everyone - and it's not the "digital equivalent" of going "lalala" in any way.

...but it is. Hand waving criticism with 'lol this is how it is feck off if you dont like it' is doing exactly that. Whether it's intentional or not.

Quote

↩  Shdwo Ryan is more than engaging with your suggestions and ideas, so to say that is frankly ridiculous.

Not really. He's not changed a single thing based on what I've said today (nor do I expect him to before you shit yourself) and in general once he says he's gonna do something he generally just does it regardless of said criticism. Is 'engaging' the same as 'acknowledging and refuting'?

Quote

↩  Shdwo Again, you can't please everyone.. and if you try to, you're a fucking idiot

i'm not claiming you can. you can listen to others without going 'if you dont like it fuck off' though.

your mistake here is thinking he (or you guys) should never say this at all. This isn't what I'm saying. I'm saying it shouldn't be used as a way to hand wave criticism. Ryan has used it legit before, but in this case I sincerely don't think us complaining about this should be met with 'if you dont like it leave'

↩  Shdwo but red is saying to leave tf entirely. note he says

Quote

↩  RedEastWood you are more than welcome to leave

Not 'you are more than welcome not to join'

this is a common thing with yall (leadership team), especially ryan in which criticism nowadays is met with exactly this which is kinda counterintuitive and is the digital equivalent of sticking fingers in your ear and going 'lalala'

Quote

↩ @'Ryan' On the grounds that it already had an active player base, it can't do any worse than things like SMP... At least there is already some level of community established, not the largest, but it's better than fuck all...

8 players. They could potentially all leave by the end of this week. If they're a close group all it takes is 1 to leave for all of them to leave.

Quote

↩ @'Ryan' I wasn't involved in agreeing them merging into us, I simply approved the end result.

Based on general management experience, people merge because their shit is failing. Based on the fact that their playerbase was literally 8 people, I can safely say this is why.

Quote

↩ @'Ryan' It gives us a better chance at surviving than doing nothing, which was my point.

Disagree. Based on history it'll just fizzle out at the same rate, only difference being people play skyblock for a few weeks before getting bored.

Quote

↩ @'Ryan' I think there's an aspect of rose tinted glasses there, I can't say as I ever recall TF being "Charming",

I say charming for lack of a better word. By this I mean we lose what it was originally created for, which is an all inclusive freeop instead of a generic network.
