That was when there were more than 8 people online, why drive 2 sultans when you can drive 8 NRG's?

Yeah... try 7 sultans full of criminals... the most memorable group I remember with that many people was Stracci as I was a part of it, but I seem to recall Gvardia reaching (or exceeding) that level of activity!

Lets see what the future, and tomorrows birthday brings us.

Maybe they unban us both

[eymas]

Not interested, nor am I fit for it. Plus all the haters.

I remember when you were a moderator.

I'm actually serious tho I can actually fix this.

You can tell me what you would do and perhaps we could see if it can be done. After all the community has given us some good ideas in this topic already. Now it's to find some time to implement them...

...and I am packed for the upcoming weeks so only time may tell.

Maybe they unban us both

I remember when you were a moderator.

Ya, punishing cops for DMing in CBF era.

[Julio.]

We're especially good at that round here, most topics tend to turn into general discussion... despite our actual general discussion type topics never really taking off!

[Dennis.]

Hope not.

Pretty interesting to see how everyone is screaming for strictness, new rules, no bias, etc, yet also want strictness removed, give chances, want rules removed and propose biased solutions. If you read all the posts in this topic and evaluate them, you can easily see there is never a good solution. What suits one, does not suit the other. And no one wants to loose something that they believe is "theirs".

I understand, I am named the bad guy in this a lot. As said, not all changes will suit everyone. I am here long enough to the understand impact of decisions and to know how players will react. As expect I turned into the worse HQ member ever according to half of the community. But nothing is done without reason, discussion or days of reading logs. You might not agree, but at some point you have to suck it up.

To be harsh, at the end of the day this is still some sort of dictatorship and the general daily salt production will not change that. This however does not mean we do not listen to the community. Almost every day I try to read every single suggestion that was brought up. But for the implementation I refer you to the first paragraph again; there is never a good solution or decision so for half of you it might feel like you are ignored.

I have had personal discussions with a lot of players and that gained me a lot of information. But also some tend to push the rules and level of what is accepted a bit too much. The decisions that were made lately might seem harsh, but are far from unfair when considering the "good old times" everyone is referring too. For all the time Argonath exists these discussions has been going on. Last years we have been more accepting than every. We have been listening more than ever. However if your statements are only biased, self suiting, full of sarcasm or purely provocative or insulting, than it is pretty hard to listen. You might find it harsh, but it has been accepted for way too long. Talk with respect and you will get respect.

So what now? There is not much we can do with a direct effect, as said in the first paragraph. We will continue listening and helping those that need help. We will continue to be harsh to those that show no respect. We will continue developing new features and improving existing ones. And we expect you to play fair, say sorry when needed, say thank you when someone helped and compliment a RP when you had fun.

I am always open for a constructive private discussion. No matter if you hate me or not.

Keep the off-topic out and please continue the constructive arguments. However keep in mind that everything you propose cannot always be implemented or changed.

Glad to see you finally break the silence after days of shying away from this topic.

I surely deserve the div leader pos for starting this topic and letting community members give those ideas:3

[Khm]

In my opinion there should be only one (someone neutral) leader (w/e u want to call him/her) to choose what's right to do and what's not. Having too many people wanting different stuff (most of them are shit) would bring nothing but headache and endless arguments.

[Ramo_Hawk]

We will continue to be harsh to those that show no respect.

Doesn't matter if you're the best Dictator or not, respect is earned not given and you didn't do much to earn it.

And it's not that we dislike you that much, its just that some of the abusive administration are let to be abusive while they are under your leadership.
