If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

I made a post on the network, about all this stupid Freedom infighting. But seems it fallen on deaf ears. It is now a stuck in stone rule that if any Freedomer fights without another Freedomer without a reason I explicitly deem valid will be removed. This is your only warning. Rank does not factor in with this rule, anyone that breaks it will be removed. All this crap is just reducing the overall roleplay quality of Freedom, and making us all look bad. Its going to end now.

Seriously people. You are fighting at the drop of a pin, name calling. Grow up, and grow your characters up this is just not acceptable. You people need to start roleplaying your characters to a higher standard. For example, today Btos character Erin was servealy injured collapsed on the floor. It seemed that there was quite a few Freedomers around her, but no one cared. Do you honestly think this is how your characters would react to a badly hurt fellow members of Freedom? You need to get rid of this attitude of "Oh she will be fine" and Its ok he/she is a cool character she can get uncaptured". It is just very bad roleplay.

Freedomers are supposed to be a very close knit group of like minded easygoing individuals that smoke weed. They would not go to fisticufs over namecalling, and very insignificant reasons. That is just very immature any only serves to damage Freedom as a whole.

Officers, start setting a better example to the rest of Freedom. Act like officers and assert your authority in situations where you deem it necessary. I cannot lead Freedom 24/7, and I cannot keep things running smoothly 24/7. That is the point of officers, keep a good command structure and things like this don't happen.

Everyone else, start roleplaying more in accordance to your characters and responding to situations in more realistic mannors. I.e, don't leave a wounded Freedomer without helping for no good reason other then, "Oh oocly, he won't die. So why should I put in the roleplay Ic'ly" because that is not acceptable.

I know i'm partly at fault for being too soft, and letting things slide often. But seems this attiude has been abused by some, and i'm going to have to start getting harder on people.

The ultimatium is, if people don't help me fix Freedom by doing what they are asked and start roleplaying to a higher standard. I may have to resort to a faction wipe, and rebuild Freedom from the ground up.

Post comments if you wan't, but don't flame or de-rail or your posts will be removed.

Dunno if I can post here, seeing as I'm not Freedom, but I don't see why not. Hell if I'm not suppose to, Mr. Tasker can just delete this post and we can go on with our lives without, "OMG U NOT FREEDOM! U NOT ALLOWED TO POST HERES!" And with that out of the way...what the hell? I've noticed it, sorry for bringing it what's already been said but I'm an outside the faction opinion. For the thing with Erin, I don't see how someone couldn't help her. Goliath left her with a broken rib or two before letting her go, she was covered and blood and gashes from bloodsuckers, and god knows what else. You mean to say they just let her lay there? And yeah i saw the radio in the console, "Hey, Erin's passed out on the floor." ...K, I would have been calling it in, yelling for others help, while checking her over. Not calming going, "Oh, hey, Erin's on the floor bleeding to death and wheezing. Just thought you guys should know so you don't accidentally step on her until she wakes up." And yes, I know that may not be what truly honest to god went down, but it's what it looked like to me. Hell a few days ago there was that incident where Nikki was shot by ANOTHER Freedomer, and it leaded to a lot of injuries. At this point we won't have to attack Freedom, we'll just wait for them to rip each other apart, and then move in when none of you can move. Seriously guys, what's happened to what Freedom use to be and mean? I remember when I first joined the server, every day I'd see them circled around a fire and passing a huge joint around. Laughing and having fun, hell I'm laughing right now thinking about it. Lets leave the macho shit at the door. Freedom isn't in the zone to have the largest penis, they're there to be free, and fight for free access to the zone. You're suppose to be crazy sons a bitches. Leave the macho-gun ho get-pissed-off-over-spilling-your-beer to Duty.

Honestly, it has become an issue... Mostly with the new recruits. I think it started when Tyr stepped down. Now Tasker is a good leader, but he did let a lot of things slide.

I know people think Freedom is all about drugs and doing whatever, but it's not. We are here to let people get into the Zone and reveal it to the world. We are thought of as hippies because we want to protect something, while a military organization wants it destroyed.

The game's version of Freedom was about helping everyone out, opening the Zone to all, and keeping mutants at bay. Now another thing is, not everyone in Freedom has to play Mr. Pothead. Only those who feel like it. And it should be done only when they person has down time.

We need to really have schedules or something to keep people in line more. We slack way to much, everyone is off doing whatever, whenever. When we call people back in with a radio, half of them show up. (Or at least this happen recently to me...)

If you ask me, Freedom feels like it's a faction without any ranks or orders. You join, you get a free gun and suit. Your orders, are to slack off and smoke.

We rarely have anyone watching a gate, or on lookout, ICly any group could sneak in anytime and catch us off guard.

More organization wouldn't be any fun. We tried that back in the day (this being 8 months ago) and Freedom had all of 3 active people in it and we'd get buttfucked daily by Duty and Military. Slightly more discipline would be nice but going over board would be stupid. Freedom's identity is based around them being more relaxed than the other major factions.

At the same time though it is fucking stupid when people do shit like beat on each other for small insults or bring guns to drunken barfights. No one thinks you're a tough badass so knock it off.

[Khorn]

I wasn't suggesting to go all Duty or Military like, but to get people back into ranks. And actually have assigned duty.

We need to reinstate patrols(Not like full map patrols), we need people watching, and we need people to stop smoking joints before fights. We can't have every single person who is on the server hanging out at the bar or watching TV.

I've been having a lot of trouble with this, and it's really been pissing me off. Thing is, you can't really regulate things if everyone is a cold hearted badass that never gets intimidated ever. Damn near every conversation results in someone killed, and the whole wounded Freedomer thing got downright hilarious when the medic, instead of tending to the heavily wounded officer, went out on a spur of the moment raid on the military with only a single stalker as backup, leaving me to die in the bar. Of course, the medic consequently got captured, and I ended up getting tended to by a random merc that seemed to give more of a shit. WHAT. I don't know what happened after that, as I just logged off and went to bed after that bit of mind-numbing silliness.

I Got to say, I'm Fine with whatever happens, If everyone feels we need more Order, by allmeans, let's have more order, sometimes it feels like im the only character who's watching the Tunnel in Redemption, looking for Monolith. or the only one Standing around the entrance, But I'm probally overlooking someone, and i'm sorry if i am.

[Goose]

Okay so you are fine with letting an injured freedomer bleed out and die on the bar floor?

Was all a misunderstanding by the way and has been cleared up.
