For a long time you, the creators of the server, kept waiting for the sorry state the server’s in to fix itself. Surprise, surprise, it hasn’t. I’m going to state my point in a fair, neutral, and hopeful manner, and I will name names because it needs to be done for the future and sake of the server itself. I know that you won’t take me seriously, and are just gonna skim through the whole thing, so I’m just gonna make a list so you get every point I make here. I’m not going to go out of my way to directly insult or rag on people, but they still need to be called out, and the server, if it is to live, needs to Get it’s shit together
Problems that the server has:
We are all faced by this threat of syle’s extinction, and of all the solutions I have considered (Merging with moonshade, firing specific roots, and opening up power to the people), good old fashioned Hamerican systems work the best. We need to put the power in the hands of the smartest minds of the common community, and the lower parts of administration. (I call them the “holy trinity,” : Mr. Bean, 420Alex, and ‘R.I.P Bob’) Developers need to consider the complaints of the community and fix the plugin and improve the system of map choosing. (Votes for a new map need to last for more than a fucking day where three people participate and a root chooses anyway regardless of the vote) The server’s on a very little amount of borrowed time, and we need to revive it through these methods and consideration of more than the root administrators. To everyone that reads this, pray with me that the server is fixed through consideration and hard work.
Best of hopes,

Problems that the server has:
- Core positions of staff have way too much power.
- The process for choosing a map is completely in the hands of the handful of roots who want it.
- Anyone that has an intelligent and logical opinion/solution is ignored by staff that have power, or insulted by Dane to insure that a root had a bad say in a good idea.
- Branching off of the previous point, roots can single-handedly confirm or nullify any application, new ideas, pitches, and/or forum posts.
- Non-root administrators make basically no difference, despite all the hard work they put in to make sure the server stays intact
- The current developers are too inconsistent with their work and need to fix things that should’ve been fixed a long time ago.
- Root admins; oh boy. This elaboration will be quite long, since it sums up all of my complains about the staff. Let’s go; so, when I come on the server, I usually see that No root admins are playing. This confuses me, because when new maps come on, or any decision comes up, root admins always have the final say in absolutely anything, whether it be with the server itself or the forums. I bet you if all the root admins got together one day, played the server, and tested every (Probably broken) feature they’ve created and had the idea for thus far, they would see the server as a complete mess… And then continue to argue that a fucking Map change is the solution. You need to test what’s already there, and look at the overall experience of the server. Having plants progressively grow into huge-ass trees and having printers and plants need materials is nice and all, but why whenever the map changes, it’s always far from done? Release your updates when they are finished, and stop wasting our time. We’d rather have an outdated plugin that works, rather than a pretty blue one that crashes the server every 9 hours. Admins that don’t play shouldn’t have a say outside of forum features, Ok? Speaking of roots having too much power, when a new idea, cop-administration application, or anything of the sort comes up, every member of staff needs to acknowledge and throw in their 2 cents, position on the discussion matter, or at least something related to the topic at hand.
- Next point, Game’s B R O K E N, if those admins that don’t play didn’t notice. That’s pretty much all I have to say about the state of the game right now. Completely unfinished plugin.
- Now when it comes to Non-Root administrators, I always see the brightest minds of the community having no power. The server’s turned itself into a social class system, and this ignorance is shared with all the other small admins and members of the community. If my post isn’t ignored and genuinely considered, I’d be damn impressed.
- The admins that are roots, hoo, boy. I really don’t wanna rag on these guys, because, y’know, forum/server bans imminent, but I don’t care at this point. This needs to be heard. Dane; his job’s turned into acting like the top dog and making players quit from his tyrannous and cunt behaviour as a root administrator. I’d say the same principle applies to BPN, but not as much. Eas is surprisingly very respectable and a great guy, but he never plays on the server that he’s working hard to co-produce. Eld, don’t even have me talk about eld (A.K.A elderly from not playing). Syle, My brother, you need to do something about the condition of your poor server, mate. Give the innovators (non-roots) the power to fix your server and they will. Everyone wants to be able to fix your server, but you simply won’t let them. It’s suicide, mate.
