We will listen

[Gamma 303]

     Hello. As you know Viva currently leads Vega and I am the current 2nd in Command. Together I believe we have gathered a small band of merry men that can hold themselfs up and can be respectable members of the community. At the same time there is always room for improvement and sometimes we need to enact warnings or even punishments including certain members of said band of merry men. After the most recent accepted post about Skrt many people said that Viva and I should have never let him in. People saying we should have known better. I want to say that people on this server change a lot. Just because someone fucked up doesn't mean they can't change. I want to inform everyone that I believe in second chances but I am also a strict person when it comes down to the wire. Currently Vega has had some issues with staff and the server in the past and we are trying to open ourselfs up as a kind, respectable, and dependable Faction. But going back to the main topic people are blaming Viva and I for Skrt making it into the faction. I want to say that personally no one came to me saying Skrt was cheating. I don't know about Viva but since he didn't talk to me about it I doubt he was informed either. People I want to inform you that Vega is 100% against cheaters and we are willing to even bring our own members to the hammer and nails. Having said that I would have loved to see people report Skrt and ANY other members cheating in Vega or in other factions but that wasn't the case. 

     At the same time I would like to say that if you where really suspicious of a player then bring it up to the faction leader. I doubt the whole faction would cheat and get away with it for too long but information is key to success. I would have hoped to hear more complaints brought towards Viva and I but it seems that people think if they do tell us then the cheater will be informed. I'm happy to say this isn't the case as me and Viva are 100% against cheaters and strive to keep Vega a skill based faction and not one that relies and 3rd party software to ruin others fun. Please if you have ANY concerns involving Vega bring it up with Viva or I and we will do our best. Without others saying things a lot can happen without our knowledge. So please, inform us and we will listen.

idk why people always blame the faction leaders for cheaters. Most of the time its just lack of information. Glad you posted this gamma, should help in the future.

I really hope that I'm wrong about my suspicions and from this being posted, it's making me think so. In the end I just want people to be honest with each other and work together to catch cheaters. I know that isn't what's happening at all, hence friend groups coming on and cheating together. I found it hard to believe that skrt's friends didn't know he was cheating, saying as they play side by side with him everyday. Maybe I'm wrong, I'm just speaking my mind. My intention wasn't to start something, rather bring light to the fact that this is deeper than just one or two players cheating independently. I want to be able to talk to players like Viva and yourself to help catch people like skrt, so we have similar goals in mind. I hope that together we can begin to bring attention to these people and get them the proper punishment.

Honestly couldn't have been said better with PDSS. Flame and I have been working to turn this faction around and repair it from its old ties. We will always be open to criticism but not insults. Please contact me or Flame if you see anyone suspicious in the faction.

Knowing Viva and you personally yall have always had a high standard in terms of skill who you let in and often go out of your way to catch cheaters trying out as you have done in the past (ForestGump). Blaming faction leaders for people who may have started cheating possible after even joining is pointless. Honestly you don't notice when you play on the same side for most cheaters, it is way easier to catch cheaters when you go against them. The blame should be put on faction leaders once they are told about the situation by staff or trusted members and they still chose the ignorance path. Well said Gamma :).

To be honest i find it extremely stupid that someone would blame another person for another cheating shouldn't you blame THE CHEATER not some guy who didn't know anything about what was going on behind the scenes

If being a faction leader means anything anymore, then it would also mean inclusion during investigations on members of said faction. Piling that on top of the fact that Viva himself is on the staff team- a Head Moderator, at that, he definitely should have been included. If a faction leader and staff member can't be trusted to be a part of these kinds of investigations, or even be told that there are allegations/rumors/etc that one of their members is cheating, then why would they be in that position in the first place? Poor decision making on the investigating party's side trashed Vega's reputation, as well as Viva's. No one can be blamed but the person who was cheating, unless you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that others are involved/knowing. Viva/Vega wasn't given that chance.
