ty!


Well, that happens. Now, we try to do that, CPs show up, we wipe 3 of them - and the walls moves. Our shit is done for. We did win nothing. You pin it on bad fuckin' luck, but it seems we got alot of bad fuckin' luck all days now.

And your solution to this seems... being pissed at us that we complain and not wanting to do anything for us? Good, then do Combine only events, work with them. And we just... Subeh, what do you want us to do, for real? I ain't having fun because I am being fucked all day. And you may explain it with this and with that, but the same thing comes out, we are being fucked.

I am not a happy player anymore. And I don't know what to do anymore. If you all have a perfect preperation for our losses ready any time we complain - and you cut support for us because we complain - where does that lead? I dunno.

I know what you can do

Cope?

Nothing wrong with taking Ls, it gives you something to passive over - you won’t have to be John Freeman every day

does anymore need to be said ?

they don't know we are nearing the stalingrad arc, where rebels are closing in on cp holdouts. OTA seen committing suicide due to their impending doom. everything is cut off

rebels resort to eating rats as they go through the city looking for cops to shoot and eat. every corner is deadly, bandits live here, headcrabs of all kinds. zombies, zombines.

renegade bands of OTA turn on their garrisons to find purpose in a purposeless resistance. it all crumbles in the end

4 more map rotations

i want this

it seems like even the most minor losses are filled with complaints. I talked to numbers about some odd event and it was fairly close, cops killed like 13 rebels - rebels killed like 9 or 10 cops. the forums was still a complete bitch fest with everyone whining and crying that staff wouldnt make it too easy for them so they could mop the floor with the other people also just trying to have a good time

you'll lose, probably a few days back to back. happens to most people. dont be a baby about it and use it as opportunity for character development centered around loss and how you will be trying to bounce back from it instead. honestly, if you want to win all the time then go play a competitive game you're good at, roleplay isnt a medium where you should expect to destroy every event you walk into

if there was a genuine interest in the health of the server and having more interesting/fun events, you'd think that rebel players would be open to this same level of critique when they win events - but that's obviously not the case. it's self-centered complaints fueled by bitter people upset over a loss than any genuine issue with the production of the event. big surprise, any server you join will have things you dislike, and you will lose - just need to grow up and learn how to flip loss into character development, and stop caring about winning so much when you're just trying to have a good time with everyone else on the server

If it's any consolation, after we perma banned him I was seriously considering reaching out and overturning the PK on the grounds that the player came here to intentionally cause trouble.

Only reason I didn't was because I was concerned about the precedent it would set, the PK was technically valid, even though it was bullshit. Then again, that happened sometimes.

it was bs, but it was still /technically/ legit, which is why it was denied

didnt want to make it seem like long term/"important" players had some sort of weird privilege where they would be untouchable, and in my eyes at the time the dude did to it legitimately. Felt like it'd set a weird elitist precedent where you'd need to be some sort of figure to have an impact on shit

I was really against that since I heard stories about weird elitism, and i was part of the "new wave" of players that came in at the end of CW/beginning of helix, so i did butt heads with older players on a lot of shit, and i did have disdain towards the old guard cause i felt excluded at a lot of points

the dude turned out to be a huge dweeb, i might have insisted on keeping the PK or something? I dont remember what happened in all honesty, maybe DW contacted me but in the end decided against overturning it by himself (at least thats how i vaguely remember it). But the dude was a bad faith actor and only came to just be a dick, if he was genuinely jnterested in the server and was set on playing a snitch, for whatever IC and okay reason, regardless of if he was a new player it wouldve probably stuck and the blame wouldve been on DW for being careless with his identity


At the time I believe I got chewed out a bit for being lenient with PKs, and was told that if it was done by the rules it should stick, so maybe it played into why i decided to stay with the denial

honestly looking back i made some huge mistakes at PK staff, some verdicts were horrible, some shit that i said was flat out wrong, and honestly even looking back at other shit ive said i cringe at, so take this as a general apology too towards everyone for being a dweeb at times

You handled it well, you don't need to explain dw

I call it bullshit because the dude was basically a troll, he showed up, caused shit and got permabanned in less than a week. That's why I felt bad about it but you know I think we decided to just stick with the rules rather than muddy the waters with how we felt about it

Like I still feel bad about it lmao. I think by the time we realised it was too late to really go back on it/it'd set a bad example.

I get what you guys are saying, and I do agree with you lot. Yes. And yes, there is nothing wrong with losses, and having losses advances your character because they need to deal with loss and grief and whatnot.

And perhaps, I am wrong.

I'm curious to hear how this Gonarch event played out from the Combine perspective. It went super intense super quick from the perspective of Vorts (and human tagalong), and from what we saw, it seemed to end in a draw that was slightly in our favor - if only because I found a way to make the Gonarch go after you lot instead of us.

S2RP always tends to be finicky with range involved, don't have many complaints that aren't just inherent to S2RP as it's commonly used.
From the sounds of it our impromptu objective upon finding you was achieved, which was fucking up whatever negotiation you were trying to do with the Gonarch.

(Sub-note; this was unironically stumbling onto the objective, we noticed zombies fighting each other so I thought "What if someone's trying to mess with the Gonarch right now?" and behold what we found)
