Following this entire thread in one sitting was tough, and I honestly have to reread the (good) posts in order to properly get the gist. But what I've gathered so far has:
Karlotta: She (or he, doesn't matter much to me anyway, everyone in the internet is equal, right?) may -seem- kinda harsh, but many of the points she pointed out I can hardly disagree with. I can't prove/disprove if she's making exaggerated fiction because I'm not very good with history, but she -does- point out long-standing problems I have noticed in this community, like the need for more lore in-game than on forums for one (commodities on every house that stated their laws, DETAILED history, etc. would be nice, having the in-game CNN dynamic would also be awesome), and the corruption behind-the-scenes.
JihadJoe: Honestly, I'm disappointed. You came off with a civil start, but then started to "stoop down" to Karlotta's "level". A few of them were even, frankly, low-blows that shook the very bonds I had with my ancestors. I was expecting ADMINS to "always stick to the moral high-ground", but unfortunately you just proved Karlotta's point. Still, you're human, and it's understandable to blunder, but out of all the posts you posted here only 1 and a half were considered mature.
Alley / Sindroms: You guys are a mixed bag, or as Karlotta uses, "double-standard". On some points you raise pretty good arguments, but on others you just reverted to petty insults and simply going back to the Karlotta-is-an-ass stereotype / it's-just-a-game excuse. True she is harsh, but apparently not without good reason. If what she says is true, I -myself- would've also raged about it. Faction members abusing indies, and can get away with it without problem because of powerful friends? Yeesh!
Crackpunch: I dunno what to say dude... you're waaaaaay too washed up by the flood. You should watch the movie "Life of Pi."
Also, I have my doubts about the Nomads / other so-called "elitist" factions being more open. But that doesn't mean I support it, either. But based on my observations in my time here, there have been COUNTLESS times that properly- and well-written RP has been denied simply because the powers-that-be have thought them not worthy (I know... I have a good friend who's been down this route). I can't support/rebel against that, because I honestly have never been an admin, so I don't have the experience nor the reputability to make a proper judgement other than through pure assumptions and conspiracy, so I reserve my final verdict, for whatever it's worth.
Thank you, Karlotta, for opening my eyes a bit. You helped me realize that I -have- become apathetic and somewhat of an ass-kisser, that I should really work harder in getting to know this community better, and to voice my opinion. Not for the sake of rebelling, but to persevere for justice, and honor.
But as a prominent Benitez once told one of my characters, "If you really want to bring change, earn their trust, not break it."
This thread is filled with karlotta alts just crusading for the sake justice in discovery without him we would just be sheeple.
No im not being sarcastic at all.
Maybe making more alt accounts and getting banned repeatedly breaking the server / forums rules (ban on the forums is a ban on the game and vice versa) will show us how much of a robin hood he is.
Karlotta is obviously being hounded by the admin team since they refused to listen to his ban appeal and now shows us regular members how unfair the admin team is.....
Cut! Cut! wrong script! Wrong script, this all never happened. That was some other guy.
