Do not refresh topic till you've read it and/or saved it. It might get deleted by HQ, again.
The following topic is meant to introduce and portray Argonath RPG's current mindset and what it has become. May I please note, that this in no way should provoke or insult anyone mentioned, but rather used to show to everyone within our community, both players and the staff, what needs to be improved.
Mistakes here and there, are done by all of us, but this is not one of them. Argonath RPG has been at a decrease for quite some time now and these issues need to be addressed now more than ever.
I'm going to begin with the latest issue that has created some chaos within the Law enforcement and Criminal sides. That being of Matthew Carter. He was banned less than 24 hours ago by HQ on made up charges of witch hunt when all he was doing was gather evidence against corrupted members within the SAPD. He was panel banned on June 14th 2017 at 22:59:36 for "Unacceptable behaviour, Cyber bullying" by [Rstar]Andeey. But wait, there's more. You might have something against the known-court-cunt Matthew, but that doesn't change the fact that he was wrongfully banned and something should be done about it. Not only that, the FBI division is now being held as a hostage by HQ Member, [Rstar]Brian, despite the fact that not a single federal agent wants him around. As a FBI Agent, I can confirm this. This isn't the first time this particular member went around doing no work whatsoever taking high ranks such as: ASID in 2014, CIA in 2015 and SAPD in 2016. HQ are claiming that its 'temporary', in reality, we know its not. FBI Members are already being offered script support and what they want within the Bureau changed, when none of this was available when Matthew was still in lead. Claiming I don't know shit because isn't going to work. ;)
Personally, I have nothing against anyone, I am just merely stating out mistakes and faults from HQ's side that not on myself, are seeing that has been on-going for a while within Argonath. HQ claims that its the players who have no idea what's going on because 'holy HQ' is private and whatnot. We are active more than the entire HQ put together, we can see the smallest detail that not even in a thousand years would you have caught. We all know how this is going to end, most probability with me being community banned and censored, and this topic gets removed off the face of the forums. Anything can be done, won't change the fact that this would have been shared by a majority of the players and the word will go out of what our HQ has become.
Since I've began with Brian, let's continue. You might think "that's some messed up shit, it can't get worse", well, you're wrong, it can, it's going to. To continue on how corrupt things really are, Brian recruited and set a new Supreme Judge, Pulse, by himself, without even consulting the actual correct one, [Rstar]Peter. Right after he was set, Pulse was appointed to Chester's case that very second, which whom's court case was created by Matthew Carter who has managed to already take down SWAT Leader and High rank SAPD, Jay Hunter. Matthew was banned for 'witch hunt' on Chester, whom he had a court case on, and for manipulating players in doing dirty work for him (gathering RP evidence against Chester).
A small note to the public, there was a small leak of this topic before its post which told Carbon about it. He was asked if he's up to get on board and help in changing the server, he refused with insults on several occasions, also threatend a guy to remove his forum account in order to censor this:
[15:07:55] [R*]Carbon/Grimbeorn: Retarded players
[15:48:04] [R*]Carbon/Grimbeorn: Bunch of idiots
[15:59:32] [R*]Carbon/Grimbeorn: Im going retarded
[18:05:41] [R*]Carbon/Grimbeorn: Stfu
[18:05:50] [R*]Carbon/Grimbeorn: fucking noob
[18:06:17] [R*]Carbon/Grimbeorn: you are a fucking retard , fuck you :D
[18:13:01] [R*]Carbon/Grimbeorn: Hahahaha shitbreak left the server :D
[18:13:09] [R*]Carbon/Grimbeorn: Nah, ill delete your forum account aswell :D
[18:13:18] Ramo Hawk: Why trying to hard with the censorship
[18:13:27] [R*]Carbon/Grimbeorn: haha, cause you are just talking shit
[18:13:52] [R]*Carbon/Grimbeorn: haha, you really think i give a shit ? :D
[18:13:53] [R*]Carbon/Grimbeorn: LMAO
[18:14:46] [R*]Carbon/Grimbeorn: nah, i dont let retards fuck up everything
[18:18:17] [R*]Carbon/Grimbeorn: Im not wasting my time for some idiot kid, go fuck yourself and get a life
Sadly I wasn't told anything else because he blocked the player right afterwards, oh well. Anyhow, Carbon went to HQ and told them about it. In fact, a couple of minutes afterwards Brian already went full rogue on FBI and started investigating every member for leaking. :lol: He also changed his rank from Director to Server HQ because he was notified that I would mention it.
It wasn't the first time Carbon has shown no interest in the server or the players, he stated it plenty of times. It's a known fact that he has spawned millions of cash for personal gain, which normal players would take months and months of time in order to achieve. Proof of spawning (Total up to $33,410,000):

He has insulted countless of players and what can be done about it? Nothing. Childish behaviour, immaturity and ignorance is visible to everyone. Not the first time someone was promoted while he was drunk, throwing ranks randomly without a care. He's the leader and you pretty much have to bow down before him or get punished. He's a puppet which can be controlled by anyone. I'll give some examples:
Insulting Dimos (a harsher insult is also mentioned but won't be shown):
[23/01/2017 22:42:23] [R]Carbon/Grimbeorn: Yea i see but Dimos..
[23/01/2017 22:42:28] [R]Carbon/Grimbeorn: Abusing cunt
Here making fun of [Rstar]Dylan when Ramo Hawk brought up a discussion of why Dylan decided to leave HQ:
[26/01/2017 22:24:40] [R]Carbon/Grimbeorn: He is doing that 8-9 times? :D
[26/01/2017 22:24:50] Ramo Hawk: ffs
[26/01/2017 22:24:51] Ramo Hawk: hes the best one you've got
[26/01/2017 22:24:54] Ramo Hawk: make sure he stays
[26/01/2017 22:27:35] [R]Carbon/Grimbeorn: He is like a girl.
[26/01/2017 22:27:37] [R]Carbon/Grimbeorn: Like for real.
Carbon throwing an admin rank:

Jay Hunter was also given a Helper Rank despite the fact that both Brian and Andeey didn't agree with Carbon, showing how he's overruling any decision taken by HQ in order to give his friends what they want. HQ were discussing promotions and new helpers, Carbon ignored them and went in-game whilst under the influence and just promoted recklessly.

Is this the kind of leadership Argonath RPG is going to accept? Is this going to be let roam around our community unnoticed and they have the audacity to call the players idiotic, ignorant, clueless, rulebreakers and so on? This is the kind of leadership every one of us are accepting when we do not address it. This isn't a cry topic, Brian, as you mentioned that's what was being done to Carbon. It isn't. This isn't a cry, because nothing was done to me, personally. This was done to the players you are failing every day when you are being biased and/or corrupt. I don't think that's enough to be honest to show how the entire HQ is messing up.
Now there's [Rstar]Andeey. Andeey is someone who I have the least to talk about, merely because he speaks the truth. He sticks with what he says and says it how it really is without a difficulty. But, there are still his negative aspects such as letting his group Highway Runners with Official Status despite the fact they've been inactive for months. Andeey might be the only one who's actually trying to do something, though.
[Rstar]MrTrane, the last of the herd. Trane started his administrating career quite well, he kept himself out of arguments and he stayed clean. That has all changed right when he managed to get the Manager rank he desperately wanted. Once this was achieved, he went off road and started to mess up. Such as; helping Chester Campbell despite the fact of several screenshots which clearly show his abuse. Proof:

There has been occasions where [Rstar]MrTrane was also proven to siding with decisions he has no clue about, such as the removal of Corleone's status. Another instance of how biased HQ can really get is if any normal active player makes a terrorist joke, gets permbanned from the server while if a a HQ Member does, it gets laughed at.
Proof of Trane making a 9/11 joke and proof of a normal player's ban for a joke:

This is a complaint letter that was done on [Rstar]Carbon and the HQ, to the server owner, Gandalf. Gandalf replied with nothing but a promotion to [Rstar]Carbon from Division Leader to Community Leader. Actual complaint sent:

To conclude, may I let everyone know once again, that this is not to be used for insulting or provoking any HQ Member but more of outlining what the HQ has become and that things need to change. I myself am not going to change the server, neither will you, but together, together we are all able to unite and get things done. This topic wasn't made for the removal of the HQ, but rather for them to notice what has been happening, and to realise that they all need to get their shit together before its too late. Get your shit together gents, man up to your faults and start fixing the problem. Censoring this topic and myself is useless and by the time you do, it would have been already saved by most of the population.
I sincerely am sorry that this had to be done, but it was required and you were warned about this if things weren't going to change, you refused everything and continued with insulting other players.
Thank you for your time.
