I'm kinda scarred for monolith now. We have 17 members, and only really 5 of us active. And this week monolith haven't been active at all. It would be great to have a leader who was active in game. Im not sure whats gonna happen. Anyone else feel this way?
We are active, but some of us don't play every waking moment of our lives, as it'd burn us out on the whole SRP. It starts to turn more into a chore then playing a game and having fun. I, personally, have been taking a TWO DAY break to try and get some materials in order for things going on inside Monolith. And don't bring the leader into this, it's not bielecki or predu's responsibility to ass all of you to get on, it's yours. If you make a commitment to a faction GET ON. Go yell at the others NOT getting on instead of trying to pull the leaders out saying how they're neglecting the faction and trying to over throw them. And for what? So you can take their place and bring us from the depts of idleness? In short, yell at those NOT getting on, not Predu or Bielecki. Bielecki said he wouldn't be on for the summer, and Predu's computer auto-shuts down from the heat, so he can't be on all the time. Don't make these pointless threats instead of PMing and talking to the leaders directly, or some of the officers of the group. Also,

I can agree with Duran about the fact of being overly-active can be horribly boring sometimes, I've been in plenty of those situations in the past.
However I disagree with you on the following things:
Monolith is not active as whole, it's not solely the members' inactivity or solely the leaders', it's everyone. I'm sure the rest of the server's populace can agree that the Monolith are an extremely rare sight.
People can refrain from being active because there aren't any other members online. What's the point of going on if you have no one to RP with? Again, I've been in this situation in the past and I understand if you / other members share the same feelings.
The Monolith leaders need to take more action when it comes to encouraging their members to be active.
Bielecki, Predu! You need to make your members want to come online instead of making it a chore for them.
Predu is active for the most part and Bielecki has left HGN for a while not sure how long, BUT I can agree with both Duran and KillSlims comments being active can be boring most of the time due to the fact theres mainly two things a Monolithian can do. A: Passive B: Go on patrols and execute people.
A suggestion of my own is more Preachers...weve got two...only on is FAIRLY active thats Duran. I realize his training Ace aka Brace but that will mean there is only two preachers within the next what say month? Honestly I think we should just pick somone and get the juices of monolith flowing again.
I don't really care.

Well, I'm not in monolith, but I think they SHOULD be a rare sight to see.

Even so, it still doesn't excuse the entire faction to be inactive.
Well just to say that we can't do much if there is two of us because going out of the base need 3 people and high rank person. Also, when we do go on patroll we get freedom coming helf way across the map to kill us and traders attacking us. When we got attacked yesterday we had like 1-3 traders, 4-8 freedom and a few other stalkers who say "Hey look monolith like attack". And most of the time when we win a war (Not likly becuase of lol monolith people) people are like "Omg omg why you killl me" and all that other crap. So to say, i like Rping as monolith when we get some people who Fear Rp with us, and we don't get freedom coming out to kill us (and Traders). THAts my point of why we should not be active at this time because people Think it only monolith lets kill em. That my ponit of all this
Go Killer, Monolith are in constant war with Freedom. Play Shadow of Chernobyl and you will see that 'The Barrier', controlled by Freedom, is there to Stop Monolith pouring into the area.
It is pure luck that the established Monolith base and the Freedom base are next to each other these days. If the Military kept the town as it's base a long time ago, you would have us to deal with instead. Pick your poison.
Also, because the Monolith are enemies with ALL factions in the Zone, you should expect to find a wide variety of enemies on the opposing force.
Still, the way the Monolith is established requires more than 4 Mono on at the same time is quite a bad idea. I suggest that it is to be reformed.
Honestly we get out to do a patrol and then get assraped by traders and Freedom...its fun and all but losing every time is...not so much fun.

Unprovoked? YOU GUYS STARTED SHOOTING AT ME. A TRADER.
Monolith should probably stop attacking people on sight and actually try to check who they're shooting at.
We, monolith, don't walk to a unknown stalker to check who it is, it highly risks us now that all fights are STK. And we know if we haven't sent a second patrol, it has to be someone else than us. We usually shoot to scare people off, now why did we get shot at from the tunnel, that is what totally started it. And why did you stick there when you could have just fleed. So when the started fighting back, like most other factions would do if being shot at, so we countered you with heavy firefight and explosives. We kept shooting randomly in the tunnel, we thought it would make you flee, but nah, you had to call for reinforcements and stick there. When we rushed to the tunnel, I was almost sure that you must have fleed, I even fired a few VOGs to make sure noone could survive, but there you were, alive and well. And the reason we had to go in the tunnel is because we had to fall back to our base, as firefight tends to attract other stalkers. We don't raid traders, but if they get in our way, something must be done.
I think one of the biggest reasons for this is the map. I mean, why the monolith base has to be between the tunnel where a lot of stalkers roam. Hopefully this will happen less in the new map.
If you mean some personalities like me, check "Future Absences" thread.
I AM ON HOLIDAYS. This doesn't mean we have to sit the whole goddamn day on SRP. I can't do that because the time I am on the computer is nearly always controlled which means I gotta go when some event is on. Its better to do something with family rather than sit like WoW nerd and be on an event rather than playing Risk with your family. Once I couldn't go on that event and I wasn't yelled upon. Bielecki isn't active only because he wants to use the holidays to chill out without GMod. Predu with his auto-shutdowns can't be on everything too. So stop accusing them of making the faction inactive (even when you didn't post) and play for yourself (this one stands for the inactive-active guys).
