Much too often you will see people within the State of Firestone, defaming and insulting members of the Development team and the founder. However, they play their game and stay demanding more developments from the ones that they just got done insulting.
Let’s all take a realistic look into Firestone and the rights you have to play it, cause they’re minimal. The Founder has the ability to do what he wishes to do with the group that he puts his money and time into. Let’s face it, I’d like to see any typical citizen to come and make something even remotely close to Firestone. If it was easy, everyone would do it.
I’m not a member of the development nor moderation team, so I can’t speak on their behalf. However, if I were, I’d almost be reluctant to go and want to make changes for the “citizens” here, that have an entitlement problem within the State.
Long threads dont get read, so ill keep it short, but really think into the fact that should we all be more appreciative with the development team, work with them and offer help. You can say that Fedora is only here for funds as some have said, but he’s still the one that brought numerous resources together to bring Firestone to what it is Today.
Seriously, stop making shit posts and comments about the Founder. Don’t like something done by him or his development team, go ahead and make your own state. Find your own development team.
Moderation, feel free to lock if you wish, but please the the thread alive.
I don’t follow.
Feel free to explain more and build up that accusation. Cause honestly, only thing I’ve seen is him introduce new things and regulate things more in depth. He could seize full control of the state, run all departments and remove chain of command. Force DPS to be a thing again and much more, and all of that is in the right of the founder.
Regardless of your expectations of how this group should be ran, none of us paid the developers to make the game. None of us spent time building the game. None of us have the right to complain about the way the person who made a group runs it.
However, we are lucky enough where we have a founder that doesn’t control departmental chain of command. We are lucky that he lets departments run as they want to, with limited regulations regarding that. We are lucky to have a development team that actually notes what we want and works with suggestions. We are lucky to have a founder that allows a congress dictate laws and most in game rules.
Again, it’s the entitlement problem within the group that members think they have right to complain about the groups development or how it’s ran.
Firestone literally has a beast fuckin development team lmao
all of his developers are talented but I feel like Fed doesn’t put them to good use…
also Fed basically wins any argument against him by using the “I own Firestone so anything I do is justified” argument which is selfish in my opinion
Now… I’m not trying to say this group is horrible or going to die, etc etc or we need a new group owner… but I definitely do feel like this group can be way better than it is now
I am one of the original co-founders of Firestone, alongside Kniok and Shawnyg who are no longer present within the state. When he first started this state, he had a goal on how departments should operate, because he feels that it will bring more realism and more fruitfulness to the group itself. The first incident that occurred was with the Public Safety Secretary, that Fed himself appointed (since there was no Government at the time). The secretary wanted things to go his way, but Fed did not like his idea and explicitly told him what Public Safety was, and how it should operate so that it is fair and non-abusive. In efforts to maintain that guidelines, he fired the Secretary and hired another one (which I believe was WaterLostic after).
Now, Fed still puts his belief in front of everything else, but he isn’t as intrusive as everyone else thinks he is. He does shout every now and then the limitations of FSP, SCSO, DHS and other departments so that they can respect and maintain the realism that he wishes to see. Additionally, if you can’t tell, he is actually stopping half of the department wars that haven’t even started.
You all complain about how when you guys argue about a system, fed just knocks you off and “has it his own way.” Little do you know, you are fucking disrespectful and don’t give two shits about the development team or the founder, so you go all pissy while trying to argue with him. Yes, I’ve seen this with my own eyes. It’s simple, just go in his DMs and have a friendly debate. In fact, there’s a debate channel on the Firestone Discord. Fed and I have had many debates about the operation within Firestone, and I’ll tell you, he has changed my mind, and I have changed his mind. It goes both ways. Grow up and learn how to debate appropriately.
Now, Fed isn’t always being a dictator. He does go to the Governor for change. He does go to the Congress for change. He actually tries to follow the set Firestone regulations set by the congress. Please, use him resourcefully, not as a puppet.
