Let's make Fearless great again!

Bro I def don't think I'm a messiah. I'm just Vauld.

I get it's a different time and like 1% of the people remember who I am, but it's not that hard to have a conversation with me. I'm pretty comfortable with my past and role in the community and feel like I added value, which I think should be recognized to a certain degree. But I also understand things are very different and again, it was like 10 years ago. So I get it - I really do.

I just think it's super mundane and pea brained to immediately write me, or other veterans off. Like OBVIOUSLY we have some insight into the history and there's inherent wisdom in that insight. All the veterans are older, and I personally don't have the mental capacity to invest in trying to convince everyone that I would add some value to the community - it's just not worth my mental capacity. My mindset is I'm open to having a conversation, take it or leave it. But I'm not gonna futz around and spend another 7 years or whatever working my way up the community to say what I think.

You can choose to recognize that the oldies add value, and have a conversation with them - or you can write them off.  You chose the latter, which is cool, I honestly don't give a shit. But I just hope you recognize that it's an objectively really stupid thing to do. Writing off people with 10+ years in City RP, who shaped the community, and have seen the entire history of the community - seems big dumb. Like you know you can just talk to people, it's not that hard, ya'll just have big egos.

It's unrealistic to expect to come back for quite literally two days and be promoted. There is an activity requirement for the rank and it was very likely you'd fail to meet it - there's no point in us promoting someone who would potentially lose it next month. We also don't know much about you at all. The post you made also doesn't help at all.

It has nothing to do with our egos, your expectations were unrealistic and you were relying on people knowing you which isn't the case anymore. It has been several years since you've been around here and we'd at least like to know you a bit and see you around.

The issue with anyone who played several years ago and hasn't played since then is that they're almost always extremely out of touch to modern FL. We can't just take someone who comes back without seeing how things have changed, it'll just cause issues for everyone. It has happened multiple times in the past too, it isn't just speculation.

The bottom line for this is basically we still need to know more about you and you need to know more about us and how FL is now. This is why you were denied.

You can also do events better as a vet than EC, you get a higher proplimit (150). If that's all you want to do then I don't get why you need a rank with it straight away.
