The Auditor.. Out

To the Fearless RP community,

It is with a broken heart that I write this farewell message. After months of trying to hold on to the hope that things could change, I've come to the painful conclusion that there is no future for this community under the current leadership. It’s time for me to walk away, not just from the server, but from everything it once represented.

Pollux and his management team have proven time and time again that they are not equipped to lead, to make the right decisions, or to revive the server. Their violent attitude toward both players and staff alike has created an environment of fear, frustration, and apathy. Promises have been made — promises that were nothing but empty words meant to placate the community for a little longer. Lies were woven into every conversation, and the truth about the server's condition was kept hidden from us all. The lack of transparency has been devastating, and it’s only deepened my realization that nothing will change as long as Pollux and his team remain at the helm.

Haarek’s comments, harsh as they were, have turned out to be the most truthful thing said throughout this entire ordeal. There is no hope left for the server. The people who truly cared about its revival have either already left, or are in the process of doing so. The exodus of players to LL is clear proof that Pollux and his management team are failing at every level. The community is shrinking, and nothing is being done to stop it.

I applied for the Event Coordinator rank in the middle of all this chaos, hoping to be part of the solution, to breathe some life back into the server, to help rebuild. I believed I could make a difference. I wanted to try. Yet, despite my genuine desire to help, I was declined. Pollux himself told me they couldn’t give me the proper trial. In other words, I was rejected because Pollux himself couldn’t, or wouldn’t, take the necessary steps to help the server. It’s clear now that he was never truly interested in bringing change or reviving the community. He would give other people — people he knew personally — whatever rank they desired, but an optimistic player who actually wanted the best for this place, someone who was willing to put in the work, was cast aside. It speaks volumes about the state of things when someone like me, with nothing but good intentions, is turned away, while others who do nothing to move things forward are given free rein.

I’ve received countless complaints from staff members about Pollux’s decisions, about his lack of leadership, and about his refusal to listen to those who are actually trying to make a difference. It’s a pattern that can no longer be ignored. There’s a reason why so many people are walking away, and it’s because they know the truth — Pollux doesn’t care about the server or its community. He only cares about maintaining control, even if it means running everything into the ground.

But I believe that, somewhere within the current management team, there’s a glimmer of hope left. If this server is to ever recover, it will be because someone else steps up to take ownership. I’m not optimistic that Pollux will make the necessary changes, but I know that someone within this community can step in and give us the leadership we need to rebuild what has been lost.

To the one who might one day take this responsibility — if you are reading this, understand this: the future of the server and the community is in your hands. But if you choose to take over, you need to make some very difficult decisions. The team around Pollux will not be the foundation for any successful future. They are not here for the community, they are only here because they are Pollux’s pawns, and they will leave once Pollux is gone. If you want to bring this community back, you must change the team. Start fresh. The current management has shown they are incapable of making the necessary changes.

To the community, I’m sorry it had to end this way. You deserved so much better. But it’s time for me to move on, to leave behind a place that once held so much potential, but was ultimately crushed under the weight of poor decisions and lies. Maybe one day, someone will come along who truly cares about this server, and can restore what was lost. But until that happens, I’m afraid we’re all left to watch it crumble.

Goodbye.

Hello Auditor,

It's always quite difficult to deny an application, especially when someone is clearly passionate for FL. I do want to make it clear that it was not solely my personal decision, but rather the decision from the team as a whole via a vote and discussion. I was the one who responded with the team's verdict, and made sure to be as detailed as I could and gave points for improvement, alongside the opportunity for you to ask any questions if you had any. I don't usually handle Event Coordinator applications, and only intervened after you requested I do so due to the lack of response beforehand. Your application received more attention than most because we recognised how passionate you are. This made the decision much more difficult, which is one of the reasons it took longer than usual to provide a final response.

I understand that being denied a position, especially one you care about, is disappointing, and I respect that it left you feeling underappreciated. I've been in the same position before, and I know how much it sucks. We wouldn't have denied it if we didn't feel that it was for the best, and I still stand by the decision we made, which was explained very well within my response.

Outside of your application, you've raised several other concerns. You've raised some good points, such as our lack of active communication and transparency. This is something we've been trying to improve for some time, and while we have gotten better, we can always do more and will continue working towards that. Apart from this, I strongly deny any accusation of a "violent attitude", "an environment of fear, frustration, and apathy", that I don't "care about the server or its community", alongside many of the other things you've mentioned along those lines. All of these accusations are categorically false, and it's upsetting to see anyone believe that they are true.

I'm still here because I care. I almost never decide things on my own, and try to always discuss with others before taking action. There have been a few exceptions (I can't think of any recent ones though), but only where there isn't any other choice. FL has had a long history of letting perfection be the enemy of progress, and in these cases, a decision just has to be made for better or worse, especially as we can always iterate on something after. My primary role on FL has been development of the new gamemode. Almost everything I do outside of this has been out of necessity rather than desire, because I care.

I really don't know what else to say here. I'm ultimately just confused as to how there's such a disconnect between what you've mentioned and my actions/intentions. I don't mind you or anyone else holding such a negative opinion towards me nor do I take it personally, I only care on how it was reached so that I can better understand and improve on any issues that may exist. My DMs have always been open for anyone who has any concerns, both from those on the team or the community. I can't change things I don't know about, so I'd encourage anyone with concerns to let myself or others in management know, as this is the only way we can resolve them and improve FL. I have no intention of stepping down, regardless of how you or others may feel, simply because I can't - doing so would kill FL for good, and I can't do that to something I care so much about.

I wish you all the best, and hope I can prove you wrong.

Pollux

Pollux, You may not care about it but i am only replying to you because you respectfully and professionally replied with a good attitude and because most of my massage was directed to you..

Good luck, I hope you prove me wrong.. That is all i wanted for the past two month..

Pollux has made some horrible decisions, been frustratingly complacent, ignorant, elitist, hypocritical, profoundly stubborn and close minded - however these are all traits I expect to see in a  developing brain.

He is getting older now - wiser - as a matter of fact 24 years old. His brain is soon fully developed. He will pull through - maybe he'll even go back and read some of my earlier arguments and reconsider. As much as I hate to say it and have truly tried to advocate against it in the past - he is now in control of FL - and it will remain this way.

But seriously, there is no point in pettiness: surprisingly - what I wrote over is a bad attempt of some long needed humor - I have no animosity against Pollux and only wish that he keeps FL alive.

Soul said when he was owner that he would never let FL die - and keep the forum alive even from his own pocket - I also believe Pollux will withhold this - I do truly think he cares. If he didn't he wouldn't have responded to your post and wouldn't have kept working on FL.

I have full trust in that he will do everything he can to keep FL alive.



As in regards to your application - I think you should trust his judgement and rather re-apply in the future. I am sure if you truly want (and able) to help FL efficiently he will let you. So give it a few months and reapply.

And that is also why I have hope - because I know for a fact that if someone steps up with the needed dedication, time, knowledge, trust and perseverance he will let them in the team.
We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever.
