You are standing here right now quite literally insulting the owner of this community and nothing happens to you. Try doing that with half of the admins/managers IG and you'd be banned, or on the forums at the very least the topic locked and you forum warned.
I don't see how stating a fact that Gandalf himself has said before could be considered as an insult. It's no secret that he has no more time to be actively checking his servers, it's something normal that happens to everyone and I'm not complaining for that, what I see wrong and I'm sure many more people do is to have him come here like if he plays daily and knows everything about how the server goes and tries to add and enforce his points of view onto something that it has been said many times before that it was made for the players, for the members of this community. Now he comes and punish people calling them trolls just for disagreeing with him? for doubting his credibility considering that the last time he was in the server was on the anniversary? Trust me, there's a long difference between insulting someone and criticizing his thoughts, fun fact is that my comment was not even directed to Gandalf but to Jov, who has suddenly changed his mind of a "hardcore RPer" to a "Argonath vision fan", all of this started due to this new script that was trying to be released which I still consider it's something that a roleplay server does not need, everyone got triggered and started to go against everyone, I've only seen a few posts around here that can be considered as constructive, but tell me, how can someone be arsed to be constructive when you are gonna get forum banned for stating your disagreement? Seems useless.
Now going back onto what this script tried to give us, apart from enough salt to make a new dead sea, of course. You get a system that covers onto territory for owning properties, nice way to make people increase their hunger for money to get properties around a certain area, like if it was already needed, like if we don't have enough shootouts for "YOU ARE IN MY PROPERTY LEAVE NOW!1 *1.5seconds pewpewpewpew*" you can say "we'll have RP barricades and patrols around our territory" That's sounds grea... oh wait, didn't we had FBI fighting against FLA for doing the same thing on Flint County? huh... guess they at least inspired someone to make something, gg Mikal.
Gandalf says we should focus on the new players, apparently they are what it keeps the server alive. I'm sorry but what kind of fucked up logic is that one? I've been administrating the server for almost two years (1 year in 2014 and almost a year now) and the only thing I saw from our new players was hacks, advertisements, deathmatching and /q'ing whenever we have tried to get in touch with them. How can he shit on regular players like that? They are the only god damn reason why we still have a bit of roleplay in the server, shit they have even managed to bring back even older players call them regulars or veterans they are all the same, most of them have stood on Argonath even when everyone else said that it was gonna die, yet here they are trying to bring it back on its feet by the only way they can, roleplaying.
Them along with the previous HQ and scripters worked their asses off to bring back the esence of roleplay, something that was no longer in the server since the ends of RS4. The fact that we now get to see them arguing and sometimes provoking each other on forums is quite disappointing, I'm not gonna say who's the fault on that because is something that I really don't know, but people leave for a reason, right? Something curious now is to why we have to see Teddy leaving (again), Dylan resigning as manager and scripter along with Fuzzy, but that's gotta be a different story.
The main problem on this now is that without them we probably just lost all hopes to have new releases at least for a while, and most of the scripts everyone has been waiting for now are going back to be on hold, like everytime someone leaves, but heeey, we were gonna get territories because it's totally what the server and players need! how cool is that? I just hope the server doesn't goes straight back to having 10 to 20 players per day after all the shit that has happened, would be very sad to see us at that stage again, specially because then we will have to agree with Gandalf on not removing blips and not add scripts that gives new players "disadvantages".
We are going to disable this edition. ASAP.
Thanks. You prevented alot of shit.
