Do the Founders care anymore?

Over the last few days, there have been quite a few notable events with the Founders (FedoraMasterB98) interacting with the community in some displeasing ways.

To start, I am legitimately convinced the Founders no longer care about the future of the community. I mean, fed even said it for himself that they’re full-throttle on V3. Apparently “full throttle” is promises made and promises delayed. We’re going on a year of delay and we’re only in Alpha. I’ve seen very little progress and I’m losing hope, to be frank.

To put this into more context, this is what @Ogax said beforehand. Others legit added in how it affects them too yet fed is convinced that a broke game is enough to sustain a community while we wait a lifetime for V3 to release. The courts can’t do their job, the Military Police team is still broke, applications are history, and fed’s logical response was that he doesn’t care? As a leader, he should at least be reassuring and backing his community members, not that blunt. I’m not gonna speak for everyone but I joined this community to roleplay because it was notable and had a reputable past. I can’t do the one thing I want to, roleplay, because Fed tries to defend inactivity among the Founders and fail to address the issues. This is a ROLEPLAY community. You can’t do much of that when the game is broke.

Another incident was over the tragic death of Officer Anthony Dia. Fed makes it mandatory for all officers in Firestone to wear mourning bands. Let me just say that not everyone is willing to spend money on virtual Lego cops so not everyone will have mourning bands when it takes fed 1 month to pay people out. Fed says that he will DPS Doktor in response to Doktor making the point that is is not feasible to wear mourning bands on CRT rigs because… there is legit no badge. Not to mention FNG has no mourning bands. Fed wants to fire people because they can’t possibly do as Fed asks.

FedoraMasterB98 is in the constant mindset of “My way or the highway” which as a leader, is a huge issue. For example, Fed is yet again trying to justify a broken game with a trump meme. It is very frustrating when a leader can’t take simple criticism and respond in a decent matter. At least on this forum post something changed. ASU got a concrete block with an H to land near the hospital. Doktor also made that post about how shooting from a helicopter is FRP. Right here fed proves he doesn’t understand V2 tech.

He made an illogical rule that doesn’t hold true in real life. Despite getting told otherwise by others, he recommends repelling down on the 2 stubs per second line. Trust me, you’d be dead before you made it halfway down the line regardless of altitude. He also recommends leaving the hostages with the taker but whatever, that is nitpicking.

Conclusion/tl;dr: The Founder(s) has proven that he does not care about the core value of the community, which is roleplay. V3 has been delayed and delayed and delayed. I question if that day will ever come. He openly expresses his general lack of interest in the current state of the game on multiple occasions. He also tries backing up this flawed FRP logic which we all know how that went. He is closed-minded (“My way or the highway”) and as we’re going into V3, that is the last thing we want. He spends so much time telling others why they’re wrong where he could just listen and better his community.

Disappointing but whatever

If this isn’t fixed some time soon, we can confidently say that this is the beginning of the downfall, it will progressively get worse from that point.

If you could read what I said then you can diagnose the issue. I don’t think I said people don’t have lives, just that fed legit said the founders aren’t focusing on V2. Basically saying they don’t give a fuck about the databases. But as this does not affect you directly, I understand why you don’t get it.

i don’t get why people can’t make valid criticisms anymore without people saying “if you don’t like it leave!”

it’s the same thing that happens in real life. people in the US criticize the government and propose change then people say “if you don’t like it move”

i’m going to remain impartial on this particular matter but my point here holds true no matter the subject

change can’t happen if everyone who wants change gives up and leaves

because aside from the unlucky past month, we’ve managed to run it fine. a little downtime wont hurt too much.

and trust takes awhile to build, especially when access involves personal stuff in terms of group management

That’s understandable GetEnveloped, the only issue is really pertaining to Fed’s actions. Of course, there isn’t much we can do, but he should at least fix these issues so the community’s game play is not jeopardized.

Hey look, you’re not even really an issue. I can say, for a hefty chunk of people, that you’re our favorite Founder. Path comes in not too far behind you. I feel, and many others, like Fed has just formed into more of a dictator than anything. Now, you don’t really show that you take a side, I respect that you stay neutral a good amount of the time. You follow orders and do what you need to, to help this community improve. Whereas Fed, is doing more bad than good. I can’t speak on the behalf of everyone, but I’m quite disappointed with Fed’s recent actions.

P.S. Good luck with your sister’s wedding

oh believe me i get it. FS is your child and its personal to you. but i don’t think it would hurt to have another one or two people with more management powers. people who you know and have been a pillar of the community. developers maybe, even.

Precisely. I get life happens but feds actions, with no attempt to conceal anything, said straight up the founders don’t care about V2, which is the issue with me as he’s legit the founder.

You all dragged path and I into this by saying Founders…

That’s fair. But as he made this clear before, fed does not script. If I made it solely saying “Does FedoraMaserB98 case anymore?” then it would definitely be taken down for targeting someone. Not gonna let rules suppress the truth though.
