Official Notice - Development Team Strike - Durandal - 07-01-2016
The men and women of the Discovery Freelancer development team have observed the recent actions of the server’s administration and cannot in good conscience continue work on the mod at this time. We find the recent matters regarding both the bans of Impy, Karst, Lythrilux, Mephistoles, Snoopy, and Swifty as well as the administration’s attitude towards any dissent on the subject deeply concerning. In addition, we find transparency and justification for the bans to be lacking. We do not find the canned and pre-prepared statements given by the administration to be sufficient in justifying their decision. Finally, we find the administration’s response of “If you don’t like us, leave” to be damaging to the game environment that we in the development team attempt to cultivate.
Before we can resume work on the mod we demand that the following terms be met.
The Discovery Development Team Wrote:1.) The Administration shall make available in full all forum and skype discussion which led to the decision to ban the aforementioned individuals.
2.) The Administration shall concede to any further terms laid out after the discourse and evidence requested above is reviewed by the development team, should we deem more terms necessary to continue work on the mod.
3.) This thread will not be moderated to an unreasonable extent, locked, removed, or made invisible.
Until the Administration meets our terms in full, the Discovery Freelancer development team shall officially remain on strike and no work shall be conducted. These terms are non-negotiable. Should Discovery’s administration choose not to acknowledge the above terms, you can consider our positions as developers to be null and void.

This would have more weight if the lead dev was posting it
RE: Official Notice - Development Team Strike - Jayce - 07-01-2016
It holds plenty of weight. The names on that list are the names of devs that actually do things, sans Alley, who does FLHook things.

Really? Because I'm looking at the entirety of the Dev list right now (provided by the lead dev), and this seems like the minority number of people

Jammi has a yellow name, and hasn't played or dev'd in nearly a year. That should tell you all you need to know.

well, either way point #2 won't be met, who agrees to terms they can't see

Who agrees with sanctions with evidence they can't see?

Understandable.
Creativity cannot thrive in a toxic environment of mistrust and the prospect of the Disco project going to hell.
