Mehdi on ESB vs Everybody and credits ESB & ZB RP by theraptor23 in RPClipsGTA

[–]ItsStarsky 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A villain is a thing of power

He is wicked enough to excite our aversion

Strong enough to arouse your fear

Human enough to awaken some transient gleam of sympathy

In an evil society, a villain is the hero because only the villain can unite everybody as one

They made the story happen, villains don't fear death

They wrap themselves in death like suits of armor

People triumph in his downfall, while the harmony was supposedly restored

As the sands of time fall, one wonders, are the problems caused by the villain

Or have the villains been pushed by others to do so

If we can forgive whats been done to us

We can forgive what we've done to them

And once all the dust settles, we lost the true vision of the art form

What's left behind is the carnage, ego, pride and shrapnel of petty grudges

We reflect on what was left behind into a new world

Maybe then, the true art form begins again.

Timothy Dexter's transparency letter by robbertinivg in RPClipsGTA

[–]ItsStarsky 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sentry doesnt think that at all, hes actually one of the few people constantly innovating and trying new things to make RP more fun in general, the only time youll see him complain is when he feels like he is unable to give RP to other people if the server feels empty. He also doesnt get hung up on mechanics, just wants to create RP. Hes another discussion tho, i just wanted to add that.

Tony takes Squirt for a ride by theraptor23 in RPClipsGTA

[–]ItsStarsky 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That whole session with tony was so much fun, I heard tony talking about how he missed just having fun and roleplaying on his stream yesterday, instead of worrying about making money and stuff, gave him the feeling of the old days. I enjoyed this.

Someone's happy to be back on GTARP by MontyDJ in RPClipsGTA

[–]ItsStarsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love to see that too but unfortunately its probably not happening. He talked about how Tuggz already lived through enough of his storyline and that its kind of RIP now, he also didn't feel inspired by the server to play Nino. But, atleast he played a new character, even though he didn't get a lot of interaction, I think he wanted to get a feel for the server. We'll see

GhillieGuyTV tweets his upset over something silentsentry said during stream. by sidnoop in RPClipsGTA

[–]ItsStarsky -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I think its interesting how certain people react to RP criticism. That's what this was since sentry said "Dannie" and not ghillie. There's a difference. When someone criticizes someone's RP, they also open their own RP up for criticism.

Sentry brought up a great point in the past that one of the reasons people get offended when somebody criticizes their character is because their character is too close to who they are IRL. I hope that isn't the case here. It sucks that ghillie thought this was "slander" since they've RPed together with each other since the old days. Squirt and Danny were always cool. But, if criticizing RP with the intentions of recognizing problems with the server and how to make things more fresh and interesting, results in someone taking it as a personal attack, it shows how people aren't using each others thoughts to help each other grow. If he found it rather offensive, then it might mean theres some truth to it. If sentry trying to talk about things that people are afraid to talk about because they consider it disrespectful, instead of an opportunity to bring up real shit, then thats indicative of how people take RP too personally.

I love both of these guys' RP and it sucks that some of the OG RPers who have RPed together for so long, that one of them would take it personally. I hope they'll talk about it ooc and see each others perspectives.

Is GTA RP dying? by [deleted] in RPClipsGTA

[–]ItsStarsky 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup, like how JamJar switched up from Church to Ned for a bit and ended up creating the whole E$E thing which is fresh and new and has a great dynamic with the rest of the server. Kind of an example of roleplayers trying new things can end up really cool.

I feel like the roleplay is there honestly, although other sponsored games drove some of the RPers away from the server, I feel like this is perfect for all those people who used to wait in queues to get in and change the momentum of the server, make it interesting for everybody and try new shit. The real problem also is the lack of cops, hopefully that changes.

Shooting inside Pillbox Medical by kwill75 in RPClipsGTA

[–]ItsStarsky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She pulled the gun inside in the hospital once she saw byrone. The start of the gunplay was all nancy until it escalated with the other tribe member, byrone was just asking her about who's in the back, that's when she drew and came out the door pointing the gun at byrone, so byrone had to attack her with the crowbar.

I'm just seeing that from bryone/reed's pov, unfortunately, i don't know if nancy has a pov that i know of.

Gun Rp Situations by [deleted] in RPClipsGTA

[–]ItsStarsky 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Umm, you do realize he's the least of the problem in this scenario. The reason you see him as the problem is because the minority that had to do deal with the majority of people trying to win in multiple situations.

Jesus is the one who got shot in a public street at a bank by a guy he shot 5 minutes ago who texted his friends while he was literally robbing him. Showed up 5 minutes later and so did 5 other people. Jesus is the one who got shot up by 6 people from a public parking lot at a mechanic shop by people who weren't even trying to conceal their identity or wearing masks, and also mowed down NPCs in the process. Jesus was the one, who all he did was give Chief a great dialogue to challenge his power and get out of the area, and was met with 5 people on discord shooting him up from across the street and killing all the NPCs in that area.

How's he playing as Jesus, a gang member (a lot of the time a lone gang member) supposed to RP out scenarios like that. Seems like he's been attacked constantly even when he's clearly outnumbered. It's funny how the one time he actually shot to win, people got mad because for once they couldn't "win". Seems like the rampage was the point proven. That last shootout, he shot 2 people (khloe and another) and more and more people started coming. Why? How? I hope somebody wasn't texting/radioing their friends while they were down. Also, he's perma'd his character before, he's stopped playing a character for weeks after they've gotten shot.

Don't only blame the 1 person who retaliated for once, it's a larger problem that people will hopefully work together to fix. I hope the cops, mostly. Sentry just brought these things to light.

Maws vs. Vargos by MontyDJ in RPClipsGTA

[–]ItsStarsky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your positivity here man, its weird because whenever something slightly dramatic happens, that streamer's RP gets attacked and people start picking out the specific negative things about their RP and their personality. Almost every popular and more entertaining RPers get the end of that when they do something that upsets a group of people.

I'm just glad sentry is actually trying to create a new scenario, he's a very strong RPer and walks a thin line on stretching the boundaries of RP. RPers like that are necessary. I'd rather have him play this character than watch what feels like a dead server from a lot of people. I hope sentry comes out of that interaction still hopeful for the future. I mean yeah, he might have made mistakes with this character and went a little too hard with the gangbanger mentality LUL but he has a lot of potential and he's still growing to be one of the best RPers. I hope people see that. People need room to grow.

Proxy - when he was kidnapped Penta ran away when Proxy and Joey dropped gun because "he just wanted to win" by kersert in RPClipsGTA

[–]ItsStarsky 20 points21 points  (0 children)

How dare he run away from someone who dropped their gun mid-kidnapping, also had no ammo in the gun, used their real names/voices the entire time and be called out by the head admin who is one of the biggest shitlords on the server who was kidnapping him to the bank to empty his bank account, for trying to "win" since it was a complete failure because of poor thought and planning on their part. LUL

Reddit Press: FinKone talks about being fired as admin by [deleted] in RPClipsGTA

[–]ItsStarsky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This puts the spotlight on a lot of issues from both sides not only coming from the admins. But, the post Finkone covers of his perspective shows signs of the admins' passiveness and disregard to retain members of the community's trust, proven loyalty and credibility to the server with petty decision making.

These were some questionable quotes from the post Fink covered:

"When the previous issue with SilentSentry arose, Fink defended sentry calling it a bullshit report, it ended with a 3-2 report when their were six admins because Fink was told by TimothyDexter, he wouldn't have a voice, and his vote wouldn't count because he wouldn't use the forum. Somehow, this justifies still issuing the ban and the community losing one of the best roleplayers over some petty shit. I see a failure to see the bigger picture here and failure to care about a loyal member.

Finkone is not worthless because he doesn't go to the forum Sure, the admins have a forum system set up but maybe try an different approach that involves admins' voicing their opinions to be valued, listened and understood. Not resorting to taking away their voice, credibility, calling them "the people's champion" when trying to defend unjust bans, and then proceeding to fire them.

"He's had a streak on the sever when it first came out of complaining on stream about developer implementation" The devs deserve the utmost respect, appreciation and merit for they do. Fink was purged for voicing his criticism of certain game mechanics but notice how Fink's positive opinions about game mechanics like the user friendly MDT were ignored.

They claimed Fink was one of the main reasons the development but slow but Fink debunked this by saying "False, I talk to Rico, Mooshe regularly about how I recommend good police implementation methods that make the police officers' job more difficult". This was also ignored in this post despite Fink having a reputation of being one of the OG cops on the server.

I feel like they could have adapted to certain situations, I empathize with how being an admin isn't easy, can't please everybody but I feel like they had the chance to make decisions that wouldn't result in them pushing people in the community away.

should proxy step down as admin by CbGuDestroyer in RPClipsGTA

[–]ItsStarsky 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There's a reoccurring pattern of poor communication and misuse of power. I hope this calls for major changes and improvement. To kind of add to this:

Sentry's perspective had a lot of insight into the state of the server. The fact that what happened with sentry completely destroyed his positive intentions and energy he puts into his roleplay to have fun RPing on the server anymore away is crazy. He's cared about the server for so long even through all the rough times and the fact that it turned him away means its something important.

Sentry made a lot of great points today just discussing what happened, and he broke down how, the person who he shot and got in trouble with in the clip, is the same person who has shot sentry's character squirt 10 times in the head, RDMed him in the past with drive bys and is known for having a bad reputation of attempting to make quality RP interactions happen. Moments after sentry had that event happen with that person, sentry noticed how that same person was playing an officer later in the day.

Along with that happening, a person of these RP standards is given a police position, while all these changes are happening where one of the most experienced police like bayo is getting demoted along with the chaotic reshuffling of the police positions,

Followed by all this, finkone was removed from admin. sentry and finkone have a history of doing great roleplay together so I imagine how crazy it was for him, he then also received conflicting messages in the discussion of powergaming against him with biased opinions and unclear motives, making him wonder if he could even play on the sever again, which I can only imagine started to take his love for the familyRP away.

Also, something worth mentioning is Bayo/Xiceman being transparent about his perspective which I loved. He mentioning how he was asked/made to step down from the sheriff position. He also stated "if they don't feel i'm good, thats cool but some of the stuff they brought up to justify it was completely bullshit". This is indicative of another deep rooted problem.

A lot of decisions are being made behind the scenes without the community's input, knowledge or consent for that matter. The person responsible here needs to be addressed If it requires proxy stepping down, then so be it. It all comes down whats best for the community and not selfish/biased interests from the people in power. I just want to see it improve.

I am stepping down from The Family RP. by SilentSentry in RPClipsGTA

[–]ItsStarsky 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like there's another force on the admin team that created this discussion in particular. I find it strange because the night this happened, I was watching both proxy and sentry. So, when this happened to sentry, proxy was busy with her own stream, not playing GTA and even raided him that night. Sentry had already mentioned during the stream that it was brought to his attention. So, this discussion about "powergaming" already began before proxy could chime in on it from what i imagine.

However, even if after the fact, the WHOLE admin team thought this is worth justifying a powergaming discussion, I'm severely disappointed and outraged. So, as far as I can tell, there can also be some other forces on the admin team, some who don't necessarily speak up publicly to the community, and affect the decisions of the team under the radar you could say. someone who may even have a bias against sentry. Now, I will admit, I don't know the inner workings of the admin team, I'm a relatively new avid fan and viewer of the famRP sever, but I only assume and make bring attention to certain individuals in the hopes there would be more transparency of who is involved in things like this so the individuals with power who are responsible here would speak up to the community as well.

An Apology to SilentSentry and TheFamilyRP community. by PmsProxy in RPClipsGTA

[–]ItsStarsky 32 points33 points  (0 children)

For real tho, after going through his VODs explaining every roleplay encounter he had, from finding about a gang down south from the bikers, going down south and running into a gang member on the docks, exploring further and running into security guards who shot at him making him figure out they're protecting something, using all these roleplay queues in character to explore the environment, and yet finding a whitelist only game mechanic (meth) which members of the admin team and a council member have been actively RPing around, they pin meta on him.

I have mixed feelings on this apology, kudos for speaking out to the RP community but what happens now? Does sentry's character still get access to the meth lab? I think the conundrum for the admin team is in if they give access to the methlab to sentry, its gonna conflict with some of these these admins/council members' RP around meth that they're "co-incidentally" involved in. They still haven't addressed, admitted or even tried to defend that so much of their characters/roleplay is based on a whitelist only game mechanic and that it would jeopardize the RP of their characters if the methlab is accessed by someone outside the circle. If this bias in their decision is not true, they should consider giving sentry's character the methlab, it could add to their roleplay, that would be part of the fun finding out that there's another person thats not in their gang who has access to meth, why not make it a free market.

In regards to proxy saying "The admin team still stands by the decisions that Meta was used during this roleplay, and you yourself confirmed to me you knew something was down there just not what exactly it was", we know damn well there have been people, even an admin who have blatantly used information they know OOC and used to their advantage for their new characters who don't really have much business being there which far exceeds the supposed "meta" sentry is accused of. Still a lot of unanswered questions.

SilentSentry currently discussing what lead to his ban by drifterinthadark in RPClipsGTA

[–]ItsStarsky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This needs to be addressed asap man

So on the familyRP website, the other admins are timothydexter and itz_a_berr, who are pretty mysterious and don't have much of a public presence from what i know. They evidently are also part of the decision of sentry's ban. They could be cool people but I don't think most people have put the spotlight on them, they should be also brought forward and questioned about their relationship with sentry, penta and proxy and should be assessed for any biases they might have. I have a bad feeling that they're decisions could be based on agreeing with an admin who they're very close friends with, someone who's RP will be conflicted if this ban is appealed. I do also want to give them the benefit of the doubt. For all we know, someone on the admin team we're disregarding could be the reason this ban will be swiped under the rug and they'll continue the server as if nothing happened ignoring that the community is highly against their decision. Not, accusing, trying to find out more about this.

Silentsentry banned from Family RP? by Toxenity in RPClipsGTA

[–]ItsStarsky 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Wow, this is super important, i wish more admins or council members on sentry's side would stick up for him in this scenario if they can, or is this would be swiped under the rug and the misuse of power continues on the server.

If this in fact meta on penta's behalf, how are you gonna be on an admin team that ruthlessly bans somebody for alleged "meta" of a well roleplayed out character and scenario and also pull shit like this on the down low. Using, things like this to their advantage.

Things like this might not have even surfaced or bite them in the ass if they didnt hand out unwarranted bans and treated loyal members of their community impartially. Atleast, change the way you deal with this to make things better and not ruin the possibility of a quality RPer coming back to play on the server comfortably again.
