    @'Ryan' you don't seem to understand what we're saying here

    @'Ryan' This wasn't a "We'd like to do this, what do y'all think", this is a "We're going down this direction because we feel it's in the best interests of the TF Network, tada".

    nobody is saying it was. people are saying it won't work.. because it won't

    @'Ryan' We've absorbed an established server into the network, and while right now today it is not fully integrated into the network, it is an established server, that requires no additional effort from our limited development team, and in the longer term will allow folks a totally different experience compared to what they've had to date.

    Don't you think there's a reason that the network you've absorbed had to be absorbed? Can you tell me what the playercount on there is like?

    @'Ryan' TF in it's current format is going to continue to fizzle out until there's nothing more than a discord and a forum

    And it's not by introducing Skyblock?

    @'Ryan' I appreciate some folks won't like it, won't agree with it and won't play it,

    The issue is that nobody is going to play it not just some folks. It's skyblock. It's been here for years. What's unique? Crates?


    Who's actually gonna play it, Ryan? The 'preexisting 8 players'?

    @'Ryan' Just because other gamemodes have failed in the past, does not mean they always will in the future. Give it a chance to thrive before throwing your toys out the pram, especially when a lot of folks don't actually know much about it, much less have bothered to even join the server...

    ..but it does. Patterns form. Clearly new gamemodes (or at the very least basic overdone gamemodes) don't work for TF. Instead of generic gamemode #2, go for something lesser seen that'd be more fun. Why not do minigames? I'm sure that'd fit in amazingly with Lyicx's job? I'd love to see paintball, spleef, etc.

    @'Ryan' As I've said before, long term we will be moving away from "TotalFreedom" as a key brand name

    And what will we be going for? 'ATLAS Network'? Because seriously if we keep doing this shite we are literally going to just be another bland as shit network that nobody actually stays on because they could go somewhere like Hypixel or elsewhere. There's modernising TF to ensure survival and then there's making it into your own network that is completely lost what originally made it charming.


      videogamesm12 please say this is a joke

    the whole totalfreedom thing doesn't work when its not totalfreedom instead its a network with a freeop gamemode among other generic things like skyblock


    red you make excellent servers, URF wouldve gone well if it wasn't shut down, but the thing holding this server back from expanding is itself. tf aint a network and won't work as one. that's just how it is.

      burger we are punishing that admin for not "facing the problem straight on".

    honestly the only two who are arguing this are two people who did this stuff to Ashaz... i'm gonna be frank it feels that those votes arguing about how he mishandled it were done more out of spite than anything..

    Quote

      simplynick This has happened countless times before,


    @'anzu' this is a reoccuring thing,


      Shdwo it's starting to become a very frequent thing.

    (As an admin) he left 4 times 4 months ago.. and those times he left for entirely different reasons.. what do you guys mean by 'recurring issue' or 'very frequently' when it's literally been once in 4 months



    If someone could embed it'd be appreciated

    Alright so

      Wize I fabricated a story that implicated my assistant at the time (Darth), divided the community and put Seth in an awkward position. I was removed as a result.

    Huh? I couldve sworn you were removed for being inactive as shit and everything came after

    Quote

      Wize After seven years of good behavior, I wanted to gain attention by being an anti-hero. I fabricated a story that implicated my assistant at the time (Darth), divided the community and put Seth in an awkward position. I was removed as a result.


    I am returning to this community as I'd like to end my storybook here not in the dark, but in the light- how it started. I have seen multiple dynasties since Mark, worked among aforementioned anti-hero's and hero's alike, have seen this server with 40 players and full-kicks, and times where we've had 3 (all of which were staff). I'm not here to coddle you and use my pseudo-professionalism as an example of my changed behavior, I'm asking for a second chance to be done through a probationary period to prove people change. This community has made a substantial network of connections for me, and it's time to pay it forward.

    My only issue here is that you say you've changed yet still maintain this whole fantasy 'hero' kind of thing. It just strikes me as odd.


    As I mentioned above, I remember you saying you'll return July 2021. I remember you also saying it'd be wild or exciting or whatever cuz you'll be revealing something. It just makes me wonder if this was all a coincidence or not.


    Neutral now.

    But with a twist


    Your Minecraft name: ShdwoIsTheBest


    Are you using the same forum & Minecraft account that you used when you were a staff member in the past? (Yes or No). If no, state all former account names and be prepared to verify that you're not an imposter. Yes


    Note: Reinstatements will not be approved until the EAO can positively verify that the person applying for reinstatement is the same as the past admin - the burden of proof is on the person requesting reinstatement.

    d. I was removed or suspended for misconduct (Yes or No) If yes, explain why and detail your plan to ensure it won't happen again.** You can find the details listed here


    What current activities have you performed to merit reinstatement?


    e. Have assisted in improving policy or general moderation of the TF server or forum? (if Yes, give examples)


    I have made forum sanctions & have assisted staff in their duties on the server as well as over Discord.


    f. Other (provide detailed explanation)


    If you are reinstated, how often will you be able to do staff duties? Probably a few times a week


    Have you reviewed the server rules and banning protocols to ensure you're up to speed on any changes that might have occurred since your return from inactivity? Yes


    Do you have a family member that's been on the perm ban list within the past 60 days? If yes, your request will be denied. Nope
