I mean....technically there's one for GRU already :^)

Glitchtext that takes up the entire page, say no more fam.

You're staff, you don't need a formal report for this, just warn him, if you have evidence. If you're unsure if it's warnable, talk to a higher staff member. Honestly this seems pretty tame. Not exactly a fan of Fetn, but this is unnecessary of a forum report. Have you asked him to stop? 1st clip is talking over bodies, which while frowned upon isn't formally against the rules. 2nd clip is somewhat self deprecating as what I can make out appears to be "dogwater like half my MARSOC enlisted" followed by chaos. If he did say spic, which I can't make out, maybe it's just me, then yeah, that could be warnable. The screenshot is banter. Agreeing with Soldier in this regard that it doesn't seem targeted with the evidence provided.

Set up guards, patrol the base, officers watch the doors.

This you as well? The ban you're appealing for this account happened over a year ago, and you didn't try to appeal sooner why? Seems like you got caught ban evading on your alt, so you made a ban appeal to get your ban undone on your main. -1

Well the RU one was at one point, as it's owned by me. No idea who owns the US one. I was more offering that these discords are set up and have everyone in there already. Like Shrimps said earlier, TS was not a viable strategy for organization.

I believe unofficial discords for both RU and US already exist.

So in this case, how are you doing this? What makes your faction desirable to others? How would you implement these changes or give advice to other faction leaders? This is the thought process I used when advising/ leading factions. Not to mention when on the staff team. Is there someone in MARSOC that you trust that would uphold your values and commitment? Yes? Perhaps it's time to help another faction and bring your skills elsewhere to help the server grow. No? Pick the person who you feel closest represents these values and train them for the position. First thing I did as a faction leader was plan my departure. Last post on this thread unless someone needs clarification.

I had a plug-in that I was looking at that massive improved NPC AI. Worked on the test server I had going, they actually became a threat. Don't remember why I didn't push it through though. Honestly, the greatest issue I had with the GM system was the inability to spawn in weapons, and the lack of a meaningful rewards system to the factions who "won" the event/participated. Well for me personally, I got burnt out, had a lot of personal shit to deal with, and didn't feel it was fair to sit in an Executive position and do nothing. Currently, I work full time, and attend school part time. I don't have time to come back and spend six hours a day on Garnet. A forum post takes five minutes at most. So, I'll ask a question seeing as I don't play anymore. What do you think new players want?

I came up with it because we did it once before, and it worked out pretty well. If those players of the closed faction want to actually play/contribute they'll stick around, if not, nothing of value was lost. The finer details, such as a merger between the two tier 2's could be left up to the staff team. Doesn't have to be a full removal. If no one is getting on, and staying on despite running four events, then maybe it's time to re-examine what keeps people entertained.

Preface by saying I don't play anymore, but I hang around and talk with people who do, as well as observing overall reactions/activity. Seems like a good start regarding snipers. Can't say I've play tested the new guns, but I heard the sniper changes in particular were a bit too much. Most players at the time didn't care at all about Airforce/the higher skybox. What people were really excited about was the CQC based map. Not sure how true that holds today. While Omega wasn't my favorite map, it wasn't a bad map by any means. Could be time for another rotation. RU is fairly dead from my observation, I really don't think this would be in the server's best interests. Here's what I would do. Time to Merge/Lock T2's again on both sides. People with proven experience and staff go improve base + SOC. You don't need to lead a base/SOC for 3 months to make an impact. Set up the structure, get dedicated players, and then hand it off, with supervision. Likewise, if you're sitting in the same spot for over 2 months and doing the bare minimum, it's time to move on and let someone else get a chance at leading. Leaders need to start enforcing TS usage, I've hopped on several times in the last few weeks and it's usually the same 8-10 people sitting in locked SOC channels. This will help build a sense of community some players won't get ingame. Overall, adjust things a bit at a time regarding weapon/map balance. Sweeping changes aren't going to help much at this point. Prevents burnout too. That's pretty much all I got right now. An MRP Official Discord, yeah I know, wouldn't be the worst idea either.

Then fix the weapons, not the bases lol. Sounds like you need to make an entirely different thread.

One of those is mine, but I honestly don't remember his specific ban. Because I banned him however, it was almost a certainty it was malicious mass. I am/was a bit more forgiving when it comes to newer players who are bored/stupid.

What I said specifically was that we had different rules for Mass depending on the situation. Yes, when I was staff, in a claimed DB, Officers can enforce KOS on mingy privates. I'm not staff, meaning my words are my opinion, I also wasn't there. Also, it was up to Python's discretion. @Python I believe this one is yours. Normally wouldn't respond, but I don't like people quoting me on stuff I said unofficially in passing, especially when my opinion has no bearing on the situation.

See you on the Howling Abyss, Summoner!

This is why I didn't make one, lol.

There are a lot of problems with MRP. The exodus of veterans should be fairly telling. I for one got tired of being a broken record player. Really, a re-evaluation needs to be done on why people play. That's all I'm going to say.

We have a meeting on Thursday. I won't be able to attend it, but this will be brought up. Unfortunately, there isn't one blanket fix we can make to fix things like this, as staff are human. We have different bans for Mass for example, but ultimately, it's up to the staff member's discretion in the sit. We have written punishment guidelines for each offence, but obviously there are sometimes circumstances that can affect the final decision, whether bad or good. If you think staff members are banning/punishing out of line, you can reach out to a staff member higher than them. This only applies if you were directly involved in the sit. If you really feel someone was incredibly out of line, reach out, but if repeated claims are made and found to be baseless, then that reflects more on you, the general you, not you specifically, than the staff member. Ultimately, Ozzy and I oversee things the best we can, but we can't be everywhere at once, hence the chain of command needs to be followed. We also have a process for warns/bans given out that the recipient may feel are unfair. Each ban message contains a link to appealing said ban, very few members appeal their bans, so to me, most of the bans being handed out are valid. I cannot say if the same message applies for warns, but the same principle applies. If someone feels they were warned unfairly, they can appeal. To say MRP is losing it's player base due to staff punishing players is a stretch. There are several reasons player count has been/is low, but it's definitely not that. Thanks for the post.

@Whiskey1 Please provide your side/justification of the warn.

Current members of SOC factions will have their whitelists grandfathered in. It'll only be for new members starting today.
