So knucklehead, from your point of view, and I would appreciate an answer on this.
Would you, after just making a decision to distance yourself from the drama that is causing you stress and effecting your personal life and work life, log on and read this thread after just saying that you don't want any more of it?
Seriously, after he just did the whole speech on "this is effecting my real life negatively"?
And if you want to get nitty-gritty, he's the one that wen't there with the whole "no life" bull. I simply pointed out he should look in a mirror if he is logging on from a computer at his families while he is supposed to be celebrating thanksgiving with them.
One of my freinds has left the community and accused me of cheating.
The Major Admin just resigned.
Were all witnessing a soon-to-be flame fest between DO and Wolf.
This is all messed up.
I havent seen the vid on youtube fully yet (the quality!!) but i know i wasnt cheating. Mistakes are always made though and i forgive that and still count you as one of my friends. Sorry if me still wanting to be your friend offends you. If you could PM a linky to me with a quality that i can actually read the writing then i will watch it and see what you saw from your point of view.
Wolf, If you must leave, then do so. A paycheck is more important than a game. We all know that and i for one am confident you will return once things settle down. We all need some distancing and i respect that.
The conversation that Wolf and DO are having now is ludicrous over what i see as a small thing. If, however, angel was cheating, and you know she was cheating for a fact, then you have nothing to be concerned about. If you are totally confident about that, then just stay away from her. Sure, we would all like a quick response with everything, but somtimes it just doesnt happen. Patience is a virtue, and if all of us can wait for Christmas, then im sure a week or two to sort out a crisis cant be that much of an issue. Im sure your confident about me cheating too. Thats fine, because i know i wasnt and you know i was. Its hard to judge somthing against your own beliefs about a certain subject and i can see that. I am usually very stubborn and i know it annoys others. If you want too, you can stay away from me to. Unfortunately, you chose to stay away from everyone, which is sad. I dont want too see you go but i cant stop you. Its a shame that you went from my best friend on the server to Co-founder of a BH organisation, to Order against your creation, then leave the server all-together. I would never have predicted it to happen that way and I really do want to see you stay even if you still hate me :( .

That was *never* the point of this. The point was to get the entire admin staff to start taking their responsibilities as administrators of this community seriously. This has never been a "Gank Wolfpack" thing, however I have been VERY hostile towards him because he has a tendency to be very crude.
We do comply with our responsibilities. If not, you would not be playing in the current server, there would be no rules and this place would be full of spam.
I don't know anything about the Angel incident. But I've seen McNeo video and the last one you posted. The quality was not good enough to get anything good out of them. That's why i asked you to upload to my gspace place the original video.
Also, I didn't found any proof on the video about cheating. I've fought two of those ships. and they are way too maneuverable. So its no wonder they can out-turn you.
I've today discovered a few tricks and maneuvers that allowed me to out turn an eagle. And i was on a raven's claw. For example, the ship will turn faster than maximum turn rate if you move the mouse cursor to an angle of the screen. That is because the max turn speed is at a side of the screen, 90 to the centre. Ask Dab if you don't believe me. He lost the battle because of that.
Admin action against a cheater takes time here. An investigation has to be done. After all, cheating is a serious crime. We have to be sure that the one accused is guilty. We can't act too quick and ban an innocent player.
(If you find any mistake in my English, please let me know via a PM)
(Really, I speak terrible English, so please, tell me if I make mistakes. I'd like to improve it a bit )
McNeo, I never hated you. Never will. I may be wrong in my suspicion of you cheating, but that doesn't change the fact that Wolfpack saw what I saw, yet did nothing. Even if what I saw wasn't what I thought it was.
McNeo, you will be my friend (Hopefully for a long while) but I am so "Anti-Cheat" that I will report even my own associates and friends if I suspect them. You were there for that stupid speed mod thing, you should know.
I don't know it's all just plain irritating. Lack of administrator action, on just about anything, not even MY complaints/problems and the attitude of a certain clan (Phantoms) who I would love to be "friendly" with on the account of the fact that they are fun to fight over some stupid piddly thing that they *think* I did and in fact didn't, having something to do with a certain female on this server. It's all piled up and I am plain sick of it.
An administrators job is to ensure peace and tranquility on the server. Not just to monitor the server status and stop arguments. They are supposed to help solve them. Mediate. And if necessary punish. And if they say something, they don't necessarily have to follow through, but they should damn well respect the person/people they said it to and have a civilized conversation with them and explain why they changed their view/decision.
That is the job of an administrator, I should know, I used to be a volunteer Adviser for Funcom's game Anarchy Online.
I have seen nothing of the sort from any of the administrators on this server, yet they claim to administrate in a professional manner.
So yeah, overall my attitude and the reasons I am upset are because I enjoy this community as a whole (even the ones who treat me like crap.. *cough* Marauder..) I really enjoy gaming with everyone here, and the admins, usually, don't bite. But the fact that they can't even properly investigate a cheat that is reported really upsets me.
I don't care if I am wrong. In fact if they could give me proof that I am wrong other than them saying "I can't do it, so they aren't cheating." I would have faith in the administration.
Not to mention the quality of both videos has been complained about, mostly the second. This is due to the fact that I have no software for converting the files to reasonable size for internet use. Low quality videos quite obviously screw up how it looks, hell even the video I posted on you-tube was crammed from 2:51 to 1:05 by some error and made it impossible to really tell.
As for the Angel thing, that was plain ignorance on my part. I trusted when confronting an administrator that they would do the right thing, take responsibility for their actions. I didn't even ask for it to be dealt with publicly. Simply to be acknowledged that there was a reprimand of some sort. After that incident I have kept logs and screenshots of every conversation I have had with an administrator about anything dealing with cheating/server rule violations. Why? Because they proved that they can not be trusted.

I apologize for using your own words against you Korrd, but that comment right there shows that the administration is not properly investigating any accusations of cheating. Especially since I sent the initial PM to all the admins. Including you.
Wow, people really into this stuff. But I'll keep my post short,
NEVER, EVER, FORGET THAT FREELANCER IS JUST A GAME! Nothing more. I think this is scary because it has become like real life. My god, at this rate, you guys would start hiring lawyers to end disputes. I sometimes get fed up with people who get to into this stuff. No game should affect your "real" life in ANY way.
Also, one more thing, this community is what people make of it. Just keep in mind that all of you, not just the admins, have the power to change it's direction.
And now, my agreement of the above post finished, I withdraw from this thread. I am not getting tangled up in this extreamly vile and loathsome mess.
This is the real true story of rock and roll; it was not about anything more then, how to live your life, as a gangster, in sartorial splendor, and turning the world into a place where normality would never return again...- Malcolm McLaren
