We need excessive and aggressive truth to spark change. Stop with this bullshit about 'oh no someone could get offended'. And yeah, obviously Soviet has done some shit, but how does that invalidate his arguments?
Quit whining and force staff to take action.
Well.. from my side there were times where we both didnt liked each other.
I was sometimes pretty dick-ish to you and I don't know.. it was just from the beginning way back when you became admin that I didnt like you, I dont know why but it is how it is.
There were times where I liked you more and less (and I think you felt the same way, dunno).
Anyways, I'd like to apologize for being a dick sometimes towards you, even when it wasn't always obviously seen but still could be interpreted.
I'm kinda happy but also sad that you're leaving, there's still the one side that dislikes you for no reason, but you are one of the few that actually speak up the problems and don't hesitate to share them.
Anyways, .. no idea what else to write. I guess best of luck or something like that.
Alot of truth In this thread, peace soviet.
Now I wasn't going to reply back but it seems a lot of people have taken the wrong idea about me with what you have said.
Quote:[font=Arial]PaulB -[/font] [font=Arial]Most likely the laziest developer and worst RP’er I’ve seen gain a rank higher than Member. 1st, you release half-assed updates and when they need fixing, someone else has to cleanup your mess. 2nd, your RP skills are actual garbage.

And actually give a shit for your dev shit. Stop half-assing your job.[/font]
If 'laziest developer' is on about my activity at the moment it's the fact that I'm in exam season. If it isn't about my inactivity read below.
'half-assed updates', I think this is referring to ECSE and not the inventory manager and signature generator? If so at first I was only meant to be doing the backend work as simply at that time I lacked knowledge of front end, I then had the deadline pushed forward and critical systems from other developers not completed.
'someone else has to cleanup your mess' - Unsure what you are on about with this one?
'sitting in a tower collecting contraband' - When I was in that so called 'tower' I was mostly programming for LimeLight, why shouldn't I be able to make money in the game on the side? Furthermore when I wasn't do programming and was on LimeLight most of the time I would actually roleplay.
'And actually give a shit for your dev shit. Stop half-assing your job.' - I do 'give a shit' and I do take great offense from what you have said, it's insulting from someone who has little to none programming experience going to someone saying 'your work is shit' and it isn't just me you've done this to, Spaii as well. I'm more than happy to receive constructive criticism as that's actually useful (e.g making a suggestion to what could be improved).
Quote:PaulB is a developer, therefore he gets paid. It is not free work by a long shot
'It is not free work by a long shot' - I'm going to extremely disagree with this statement, Development pay was never meant to make it a 'job', it's just a incentive / 'thank you' for doing the work. The amount we are paid is extremely under minimum-wage and I'm fine with that as my own personal goals from LimeLight is the experience and to help improve it. If I was only in for the money I'd be much better off going to freelance sites.
Feel free to drop me a PM if you wish to continue this any further.

So, Salty Boi, Soviet, Soviethooves, Gun, Gungranny, Your Mom’s Best Lover, or Dildo Boi, whatever you call me, I’ll be resigning from my Teacher position and leaving the servers for a while. Why would such a magnificent, tactful, and wonderful to be around person such as myself want to leave the team? Well Billy, that’s a marvelous question that I will answer if you GIVE ME SOME FUCKING TIME TO EXPLAIN. K? Thx Billy.
THE TEAM
Firstly, I don’t care for the team and what it’s turned into right now. We are treated like a weird limbo state between staff (Oh boi Soviet, that’s a trigger word) and players. We are told that we are not to be treated higher than players, yet we are given leniency and the benefit of the doubt on the server, asked to be better examples of the community, and to use our powers to encourage RP. I mean, sorry to burst y’alls bubble, but if you give us this much responsibility, trust us more, and WANT us to be BETTER than most players, I think you’re asking us to be considered better than regular players.
My personal stance on the Teacher Team has always been either give them the tools needed to do what Staff can’t do as they’re busy and almost non-existent on the server (Event server powers, more tools to help others with RP, Enhancing RP’s with special commands, and other Staff tools used for not moderation, but enhancing the player’s experience) or don’t have the team at all. The Teacher Team has grown from what it used to be and THAT’S OK (Sorry, I know change is also a big trigger topic, but bear with me). Yes, it used to be mostly about helping others, but in time it has become more focused on making more RP opportunities for players. With that switch, we should be giving Teachers the tools they need to set up larger events or even mini-events on the server. But as it stands, no one like the idea of pushing the gap farther, even though the line has been crossed a while back. The Teacher Team has become a more useful role and takes a load off some staff when they need to focus on Moderation rather than welding something to a car, or setting down a light.
Pick a side. Give them the access to do their evolved duty, or dismantle the team. You don’t need a special team to do what should be encouraged in all players.
THE STAFF TEAM
Before your read this, know that this is my honest opinion of each Staff Team Member and WHY I feel this way. Even if what I say may be hurtful, don’t take it personally. This is just from the side I’ve seen of you over a computer. It isn’t like this is how you actually act. Right?
Temar - Honestly my dude, you were the coolest. I wished I saw you more as you had the leverage to make big changes that even you agreed on, but I never saw the effort put in to push for said changes.
Enzyme - Seriously, my man. You’ve been HR for the Staff Team for who knows how long. From the way I’ve seen staff members act before AND after my access to those areas, I have only seen you put your foot down maybe once or twice. You are the most lenient HR member I can think of and I honestly wish you were more strict with the guidelines you are meant to enforce.
Overlewd - You’ve only been HR for a bit, but I don’t really have an opinion of you in that position tbh. I honestly have nothing to say about you as I can’t think of a good OR bad time I’ve had with you.
Faustie - You do your job and you respond when available, although it may be delayed. You’re good in the position you’re in, but I wished to see you IG more often, but obviously I can’t push that on you as I don’t know your IRL situation.
26’ - This man. This FUCKING DUDE. 26 has by far been the best staff member I can think to have gotten to his position. He knows when to put his foot down and when to go easy on people, moderating and internally. He puts his opinion out there and stands by it 100%. This Canadian is the BEST administrator staff can have, and I hope one day he gets in a position that better fits his following of the rules and regulations of staff.
Bambo - You were cool at first. Once you got to Admin, you changed for the worst. You became irritating, acting like you always knew best, even in situations where you KNEW you were wrong. Your organization and leadership skills need work and I don’t believe you should hold the rank of Admin when you can barely keep the Media Team running correctly. Prove me wrong for the better. You got this far, now actually commit to being better.
Burnett - I got nothing for you man. You do you.
Daley - We didn’t get along most of the time. Granted I get where you came from. Some of the stuff you do as Clan Liaison is shady, but I can’t see the big picture. We’ve had our ups and downs, but in the end you’re a cool dude just tryin, I can see that from you stepping up in your Teacher Liaison position. Keep applying yourself to be a better staff member and leader. I know it ain’t much (Cuz it’s me am I right) but you’ve gained my respect for putting up with the shit that happens internally.
Doctor Internet - Internet is bae. LL will die without him.
Jono - Honestly neutral bro. I talked to you and sorted out my opinion with you, but as of now, you’re just kinda like “there” for me. Keep being a person 
Nacreas - I wish I saw you on more. You have good opinions of topics, but the lack of public appeal doesn’t help in your recent arguments.
Nightmare - You trying man, you trying. From what I’ve seen, you do a little more work publicly for the Teacher Team and seem to care when you give your opinion, but we got different ideas for LL’s future and that’s ok. I appreciate you.
Porg - Best car dealership. 10/10 abuse plz deamote
Termin - I have no fucking idea how you got Mod, let alone Admin man. I’m speechless (Not in a good way mind you).
Cameron - My boi here is a fucking sick Dev and we agree with each other on LL’s future. We need to talk man, it’s been a while.
Mathias - You were here and now you’re not. Where are you? We need you.
Noble - We need your skills. Don’t leave us again. Please.
PaulB - Most likely the laziest developer and worst RP’er I’ve seen gain a rank higher than Member. 1st, you release half-assed updates and when they need fixing, someone else has to cleanup your mess. 2nd, your RP skills are actual garbage. I mean, the green dumpster by Inner Shell has more RP value than you. Apply yourself when you’re on a RP server instead of sitting in a tower collecting contraband. And actually give a shit for your dev shit. Stop half-assing your job.
The Rock - You stole people’s work online and slightly altered in and took credit. Not only did you do this 4-5 times, but after you were warned you CONTINUED to do it until caught again. Not only this but you abuse tools IG. Your modelling is terrible (Unless someone else makes it for you) and should’ve been demoted a LONG time ago.
MrMarsh - Your first day didn’t start out well when you called a player “Retarded” in an staff sit, but hopefully you can recover from it. I hope your attitude issues that seemed to have been ignored in your promotion page adjusts to your position.
Roxas - I’m not gonna beat around the bush. You don’t deserve this position. You antagonize players in OOC, berate players trying to help other, and when approached with a rule breaker, you sometimes just laugh about the situation instead of doing your job. Leave the team.
Stell90 - I ain’t got nothing man. Just keep trying to better yourself.
Toxic - Are you aggressive? Yea. Are you active? A good bit. Are you tired of being a S1? I fucking bet. The staff team needs to decide on you. You are literally not able to do your job in what is essentially a “Pass or Fail” position, and I think after a year and a half, the staff team should have an answer by now.
LL’S DIRECTION
With the direction LL is going, I don’t want to be a part of it. We pride ourselves on being unique, yet when new content wishes to be added, the biggest argument is that we’re “Semi-Serious”. That is a TERRIBLE excuse for any suggestion. People have made very great suggestions for this community, but they’re shot down because they’re “too realistic” or “too DarkRP”. You know what I think? I think when players are leaving and complaining about the government having too much power, they need to be answered and assured the situation is being handled. When we take rules over a great RP, we are losing our point of being a RP server. When criminal players have to worry about every single action because the rules are stacked against them, we need to address the issue. LL has become a strict, rule enforcing witch hunt filled with players who worry more about getting someone in trouble over keeping it IC and just playing the game. The fact that the staff backs these actions doesn’t bode well for the future of LL.
I’ve been an asshole to a lot of people and I want all of you to know that I’m sorry if I hurt you in any way. I apologize for being the asshole guy who would be too hard on you or wouldn’t cooperate with you. I’m sorry to the players that believed I targeted them as a staff member. What I did was for what I believed to be the better action for players, not LL or the rules. I followed that course all the way up to Admin and down to player. Every single thing I did as a staff member was to help the players and I’m sorry to say that I wasn’t allowed to continue.
I’ll be around on the forums and sometimes on the server, but I will be gone for most of the time. I had a wonderful time here and will never forget it.
you are entitled to your opinion your entitled to believe whatever you want, but there is facts in Real World & Real Life consequence behind everything that you just said and while you doing your thing and living the life that you earned by being a genius smart ass the rest of us in this community have to deal with these problems. If you wanna think freely that's fine, but you just setting yourself in a bad spot position right now that you don't want to be in. I come back your free thought with my free thought because my is grounded in reality that I was given, but I'm frankly Disappointed, I'm Appalled and brother I am unbelievably hurt that you just morph into something to me that's not real. That's the way I feel, say whatever you want, but don't come at the Team for their actions but don't expect the rest of us are going to swallow your opinion.
Do you but the life that I live is a REAL PERSON but remember your actions that you just presented to this community is not going to get you no where in life.
That's all i have to say you were a great person I met on LL but now you turned into something I don't respect.

My Opinion is I believe the staff team is great and the community workers are great to because they are actually putting in work to help this community grow. Yes some don't do stuff or inactive but the people that are trying are giving it all they got. you just dissing them is not helping a lot.
I wish you good luck in life

I think Soviet's criticism is exactly that, criticism. A very hard tap on the shoulder of staff indiciating that 'we need change'. You don't get change by not doing anything, like you so happily propose, oblivious to the fact that the community is slowly tearing itself apart.
Holy shit I just read this stuff. Fina-fucking-ly someone who doesn't leave with "I don't want to be calling names".
Fuck yea you want to be calling names, otherwise, people are just gonna think "Naaah he wasn't talking about me".
If you want change and want to (rightfully) complain then you need to address it to people otherwise your (rightful) complaints go right out the window.
, I know we haven't talked, so I guess I'm just a number, but having an American in the server was always a cool thing for me as those fucking brit accents can get boring as all hell.
Fuck yea for controversial topics.

You only got a mic after like 5 years so u still good
Makes me laugh that normal members of the community suck the staff and server off, even when ex-staff have been there and know that its a shithole in some regions.
Here's what I wrote, I deleted it because I didn't want to call all your cringy acts out and make you feel bad and this isn't the thread to do so, but since you fail to understand my intentions or failed to PM me regarding it, I'll have to do so.

and i might've cringed and asked you to leave after you said you were "surprised" a girl turned you down adding onto other really loving yourself stuff. i mean no one wants a person like that in their play sesh, which was gta 5, not tied to gmod at all or my staff abilities
pls no cringe in the future girls might not like you thnx
Please stop painting me in a bad light, I only dislike you and I am only like that towards you because you love placing yourself on a high pedestal and shove it up people's face.
