      Cafe72 I am intrigued.


    I am willing to hear you out and work under the assumption that you are in fact innocent in this matter. Could you please explain how the incident occurred, and the events leading up to it (the test server) in as much detail as you can.

      videogamesm12 and yet we choose to ignore it like a bug on a windshield. Why?

    Because you can't keep flip flopping on what you want. Months ago you and the rest of the community made it very clear that you wanted sole focus to be on the freedom gamemodes, so that is what you got.


    But that's besides the point, let me expand on why I believe Anarchy is a terrible idea.


    We are already designed to offer as much freedom as possible in a friendly way

    TotalFreedom's Freedom-01 server by nature offers as much freedom as it possibly can, and the reasons for its limitations are ones that will still be prevalent on the Anarchy server.

    1. Language will still be monitored and expected to be clean, as is a feature of all ATLAS Media gamemodes. This means that your "true freedom" anarchy server will have a clean chat.

    2. All exploits will be banned, especially those that crash the server in any way. A huge selling point of anarchy is that it allows players to truly stress the server to its maximum. I know this firsthand from when I used to run my own anarchy server, and dickheads (cough cough @"simplynick"#11) lagged the server through Columbus griefing. I could not outright ban that, so I was forced to upgrade my hardware - because again, no one wants to play an anarchy server with any sort of rules.

    3. Builds will be monitored. An anarchy player on TF can fully expect to have their build scrutinized by staff members. On my anarchy server you couldn't go a couple hundred chunks without seeing some sort of distasteful build (in the very bad way, not your average penis build). Players will see that this anarchy server they had been sold is actually heavily restricting, in relation to other anarchy servers available for players to join.


    How will it be different?

    The amount of shit that me and Ryan had to endure for failing to provide a shiny brand new and original gamemode idea means that all new gamemodes absolutely 100% must be original, else you are all hypocrites.


    What is different about this anarchy server? What makes it better than Kaboom, or the surplus of other up and coming anarchy servers.


    It is just a phase.

    I would like to bring your attention to the MiniSMP event. It was a roaring success! For the first month.


    Players get bored, and we've seen it so clearly recently. Unless we produce something completely original, players will become bored of anarchy and its obvious rules (which go against anarchy as I detailed in my first point).


    The main crux of my argument lies in my first point, the rest are smaller (but still very important).


      Luke Took the words out of my mouth.

      lyicx Kinda sounds like an endless cycle of doing nothing everyday because you’re “free from work”.


    Think back to the COVID lockdown, when students like myself were given an entire year to just fuck around as they pleased (at home of course), and while it may sound fun to just play video games or talk to your friends all day, it quickly got depressing.


    Humans need a goal to work towards, else life becomes meaningless and empty. It’s also worsened by the fact that if you somehow die in this Enders utopia, you are immediately revived and put back in the meaningless cycle 😂

      Zarcana Look, genuinely, i dont want this thread to turn into a 200 post debate, so fucking stop arguing here. This is not a fucking place to debate shit.

    This is extremely hypocritical - you are the one who initially asked the question. Being the one who asked the question, you bear the responsibility of actually hearing out what the other person has to say. If you hadn’t asked the question, and subsequently responded to the answer with hostility, I doubt this thread would have spiralled as it has.

      Zarcana No, im fucking sick of your shit, grow the fuck up and stop fucking complaining every chance you get.

    This is not the kind of behaviour I would expect from an admin, have a bit of an patience and show a bit of restraint. If you’re mad about something please don’t take it out in this way on a very public thread. I suggest you edit this response to something a bit more tame.

      erin why do random threads end up spiralling into you complaining about your indefinite ban again?

    This one is because he was directly asked a question about his indefinite ban request. Not sure if we expected him to just not answer the question or what. He was then asked again on this same thread by Miasmus.


    @"billy7oblos"#267 prove to me your maturity in this moment by putting the indefinite ban behind you, and ignoring comments related to it. I don’t think you’re aware of the massive stigma surrounding you at this moment, and while I accept that other people have and continue to provoke you, be the bigger person and ignore them. I expect you to stop bringing up your ban request, even if provoked, because it evidently does not work out well for you - and I will not be in a position to defend you every time.


    @"lyicx"#21 Could you please merge the following posts into a new thread, preferably titled “Billy IBR Discussion 2”, and subsequently lock the thread. This forum game has potential, let’s not ruin it.

    @'Ryan' because the activity policy itself was supposed to have changed already to better manage these things.

    How will the updated version of the activity policy better manage executive in game activity? If you can outright veto this suggestion because the activity policy will be changed I assume it will fix this problem?

    I am not comfortable with vouching only due to your previous track record. I can see your reasoning for a change in your character, but you also said you’d changed many times in the past.


    It is apparent that your previous conduct is not welcome at all and I really do hope that we won’t see it again should this appeal be approved. I would be willing to vouch if you could provide me with an ultimatum, something to give me and other members a sense of security with your change.


    Perhaps we can agree on the proposition that should you get banned again, you will leave the community for a longer amount of time? That way I can be in a better position to vouch knowing you have more to lose if you once again break our trust.


    Object for now

    Vouch, I respect your straightforward and utilitarian approach, your fact driven mentality and your critical nature.


    In my opinion, your previous issues can be negated as a misunderstanding and are not serious enough to warrant my objection; I would however advise you to be careful in how you conduct yourself as an admin. If you are even caught making a build vaguely resembling a swastika then that’s it for you as an admin.

      jwmphall So what I would do (have been offered basketball scholarships in the US and have played pro games overseas), is try and find overseas race car leagues and completely dominate them. It’s what I did for about a year with basketball, and then I got scholarships because of that. If you are as good as you say you won’t have much difficulty competing overseas. I’m not sure how many overseas racing leagues there are, but there are sure to be a few. That way you can make somewhat of a name for yourself before coming back to the US and competing. Try European leagues and the middle east, I know a lot of people who’ve had successes there.
