    -1 From my experience, gets very emotional during an argument or debate and can sometimes have a temper if things don't go his way or someone doesn't agree with him. I'm sorry but I don't think you're right for the staff team.

    So do you.
    gonna +1 this keep up the good work kid.

    Wouldn't that be just one general point not 3 different topics?

    Whatever. Maybe the 50th time a meeting like this has been held will actually solve something instead of 30 minutes of circle jerking and "uh" every 10 seconds?

    While most of the comment is unnecessary I do agree that they have to actually go through with stuff that is discussed in the meeting, unlike before where everyone basically fucked off afterwards.

    I disagree to a point. Comparing the MP5 with other weapons defeats the purpose of your argument because every weapon is manufactured for a specific purpose. Obviously the MP5 will beat a shotgun at long-mid range. Any real life SMG can, considering a shotgun is MEANT for CQC. What dumbass is sniping with a shotgun on the server?

    Yes but for a weapon to be balanced it has to be compared to all weapons in a sandbox, and currently the MP5 does too much too well, if you read what I said about the weapon. However, I will explicitly state why it is over powered here.

    The MP5 does too much too well, it has no downside to using it VS other weapons in the sand box.

    So let's compare it to the other weapons in the game.

    SMGs. It outclasses every SMG in the game in all categories except for ammo capacity Which the P90 beats but is no longer being used.

    ARs. Less damage, but significantly higher fire rate, with similar range means faster kill time for MP5 which can kill someone in less than a second even without headshots.

    Shotguns. Shotguns will outdamage it at close range, but in all other scenarios it gets outclassed.

    Sniper Rifles/DMRs. The MP5 will do what all snipers do and so much more. The only time a sniper is a better choice of weapon is when it comes to extreme distances, which with the current movement speed is negligible.

    Summary. The MP5 has no downsides except for the fact that it can eat through ammo extremely quickly. It has faster kill times than ARs while maintaining an AR ammo capacity and a snipers range. Couple the high fire rate with little to no recoil or aim spread, and gameplay with the weapon is the same that can be accomplished on the desk top. Point and click, wait for the person to die. Repeat until all are dead.

    @gg.x [Cody Drax]

    The same can be said about any weapon, however, this is not CSGO or R6 Siege where the gun has recoil, aim spread, or some other mechanic that must be mastered for the gun to be good. The weapon has negligible recoil and aim spread, so you are not punished for spraying and praying. If you give someone who first joins the server an MP5, they will be able to use it with no issues what so ever, unlike other weapons on the server which can punish you for misusing them.

    You talking about the time I was talking with you in TS and he barged in memeing? Yea, I was talking about removing you a few weeks prior, along with the rest of the server. Also, the old "oh, there are a lot of people who don't like you as SA" story is..well..old. I would have thought you would understand this considering your "leadership" role of a falling faction. Any leadership position is always met with distaste and negative criticism. Granted, this is a game server and I don't expect children to understand this. I did also notice the things you did apart from playing wars, like reporting someone for accidentally switching jobs as you call kidnap, say yo uare going to hold them for 15 minutes, get them warned and tp'd back, then execute them on the spot. You're a G. ?

    There is a difference between criticism and outright hate.

    Our talk, constructive criticism.

    The PMs I get and stuff I am told by others is hate.

    Key difference.

    Also that report was just me getting pissed off due to the relentless basecamp by RU during that war, so I'ma take the blame on that.

    It's good to see you are aware of the criticism you face as an SA, and I hope that other's who bring up ideas won't be shot down with "You are very passionate about something you do not understand."

    Calling me a child is not even a good insult my dude.

    I'm going to be 100% real with you, hopefully you'll check back and see the replies.

     

    I think most, if not all the criticism that pushed you into making this decision and feeling isolated came from, at least from my perspective on it all, a severe disconnect between you and the people under you. At least from my perspective, I think you took a much too callous approach to how you were to take command of DF, and I understand why you'd potentially want to go that route, with DF being the flagship of US capability, I think it caused huge issues however, because your lack of personal connection and trust with your fellow members was something I noticed from time to time. Perhaps that's where some inactivity spikes during your time as leader came from? What kept me playing on the server time and time again is the friends I made on Teamspeak and in-game, going through the troubles of keeping a faction alive, fighting in wars- it was because the experience was shared that the enjoyment took its home. Maybe a callous form of leadership is necessary in the real world, but remember this is a game, and the most synergized team is a team of friends - no one is afraid of speaking their mind, everyone wants to hop on together and play, and communication flows naturally. 

      

     Anyhow, that's looking at a brighter possibility out of a few that, honestly, I hold with serious skepticism. For all I know, you could've just been an asshole sitting on his rank, but I'm not willing to pass off speculations as deductive axioms- I already have enough pricks in my Philosophy field doing just that, I'd rather not be another. 

      

    Best of luck with whatever you do next Mitch,

    I tried to allow the guys below me to pretty much have reign over the faction, which sometimes worked and sometimes didn't.

    Thank you for the words of encouragement Duel, best of luck to you too.

    @Vibe   Idc, I'm not going to be on the server for a long time.

    • Proceeded to get on for only wars with his men and getting off between wars to appear active
    • Started doing tryouts and letting in players with 7 hours under the mentality of "They passed the tryouts."
    •  All the new players who passed left the server within a week
    • Continues to hail Shephard as the messiah of DF
    • Comes to me for help
    • I give him advice
    •  He accepts it with a straight face > Proceeds to do the opposite of what I suggested
    • Talks trash about me to others expecting to get beyond Admin, hell even keep his rank, after all of that
    •  Been nothing but a bottle of negativity and after I stuck up for him when others demanded his removal, he continues to be a snake
    • One last hail mary: Applications

    I should have removed him earlier. I truly hope he learns to become a better person and be more sociable rather than talk bad about people behind their backs. I knew about it, but never said anything about it to him because I just wanted him to change and approach negativity with positivity. Oh well, now he is gone in a blaze of fire.

     

    He certainly "tried." Tried to make himself look as stupid as possible. Peace be upon you, Nomad.

    Ironically though, Zoro called you out.

    "Weren't you just talking about removing him?"

    As for a bottle of negativity, most of the people I have had interactions with on this server have been positive.

    As for my criticism's about you, I still stand by them. More people do not like you as SA than you think. But you were a good gen of Marsoc.

    I hope the server keeps improving under your leadership Phantom.

    Sincerely, Nomad.

    P.s. I was active enough, you just don't care to notice that I do more than just play wars.

    As you can see, this is my final goodbye.

    I have had a wonderful time on this server, that unfortunately was ruined towards the end of my time here.

    I am resigning for three reasons.

    1. I have lost interest in the sever as it is no longer fun, due to the people on it, and Garry's Mod in general.

    2. My mental health. I can only take so much verbal abuse before I've reached my limit, and I have reached it thanks to some of the dedicated people of this community.

    3. I have been here for almost a year, and in that time the people I once called friends either left or turned out to be assholes, and I no longer belong in any group here.

    Vandal will now be assuming active command of Delta Force.

    @Shephard McSwiggity  Thank you for caring about this faction more than everyone else who lead it. You are a true friend and someone everybody on this community should inspire to be. You where there for Delta when the other commanders did nothing, or tried to change it into a husk of a faction.

    Thank you to those who have been actual friends to me on this server.

    To all my old friends in 75R.

    When I get to heaven, Saint Peter's gonna say "How'd you earn your livin' boy? How'd you earn your pay?" I'll reply with a whole lot of anger, "I made my living as an Airborne Ranger!"

    The inactive quote was directed toward myself XD. That was one of the lessons I learned. I was playing 2-5 hours a day and was "Inactive"

    There are always going to be hateful people who no matter what you do, will attack you and belittle you just because you are you.

    You can give people the sun, and they will still complain.
