A public service announcement and a Formal apology:
Welcome to 2016 everyone, I have some news for you. Among other things that happened this week Dread Syndicate is now back and fully active.
Why? Because Blade falcon and its leaders, views, opinions, and way of operating are different from my personal view.
Blade falcon
does not care about its public image, or being a good morally correct faction inside of the community that promotes pvp or pve.
Blade falcon
only cares about its members and its own progress.
However due to its leaders lack of any emotion and morals about what is socially acceptable It ends up promoting a trolling and offensive way of treating its members and the outside world when in reality the consistent lack of regard for the feelings of both its victims and its members leads the faction into both internal and external struggles.
The constant spam of youtube links to completely unrelated trolling videos with the intention of having fun at someone else's expense is a great example of this.
I do not believe in the way blade falcon operates.
When I first closed down dread syndicate it was due to "old times" and nostalgia. Initially I was unaware of the extent of the issue until I found myself behaving in much the same way as a troll. Instead of taking a morally correct and honorable standpoint in even basic conversations that I had with others I began not caring about others and their opinion/advice.
Secondly I began not caring about my public or my factions public image and as such gained a more aggressive standpoint both in game and here viewing others as lesser then myself or my ships regardless of the reality.
I had copied blade falcon. I had became more like a troll/asshole then an honorable person I once tried so hard to be.
The first hints I had at this issue was when vehcklox started arguing with bobby over griefing rules such as camping and intentional hunting down of players, among other things. I soon realized this sort of mentality was closely related to the type we took on redshift and being the single most hated faction and players on that server I was concerned about losing peoples respect and friendship as I had with the admins on redshift.
We tried to apply redshift logic that had got us so hated and feared there to GenXnova and I found that at most times I was disagreeing with vehcklox on his opinion of fair pvp or honorable pvp.
For these reasons and the lack of change/progress in both the faction itself and the leader of said faction I have left blade falcon with the intent of restarting a morally correct and honorable faction that promotes fair, decent, and friendly pvp.
I must personally apologize to the following factions and people here on the forum.
I am sorry to
Lecic for my dishonorable conduct towards him, Though his behavior towards me is also poor I must admit my own faults. My response to his criticism or input is to view is as "not relevant" or "not correct" when in reality he could be presenting a case worth looking at. I have behaved poorly to him and in general been an asshat to him. I hope we can mend the relationship between us.
I am also sorry to the combined membership of odium for letting myself commit dishonorable conduct such as intentional baiting and trolling of their members and stating misinformation in a trollish manor when any of their members enter the channel. I hope we can resume honorable fleet ops soon.
My final apology is to the entire forum for my cynicism towards both the starmade community and its general members. I have not been trusting of information presented to me when in reality I was completely wrong but unwilling to admit so.
Our return is final and I shall not be rejoining blade falcon, I want to thank vehcklox for his time in redshift and his friendship but our opinions differ to much to deal with, I hope we can remain friends and I do not have any intent of provoking or attacking blade falcon.
Thank you
Zackey.
