Our Benefactors - Serious HL2RP, Back to its Roots - Games

[QUOTE=Sansa Stark;45740672]Uh. We're still alive and kicking, and bigger than before. Here's my post about it: To begin to defend myself, I would have to start from the very beginning. I joined the original Our Benefactors server perhaps a month ago. It was a Clockwork server, and Triple himself said he was just about to let the payments run out before he met me. The server was empty, besides an admin, himself and me. I added him to steam and I spoke to him, and I said that if he wanted a great server, I could help. I showed him my experience with mapping and coding, and he was in awe. He agreed for me to help, and the server was dead as soon as the only two people to ever get on, didn't get on. We were using Elpishost at the time. For those unfamiliar, it's not very good (at least in my opinion). It was down constantly, and you had to jump through hoops to get the file manager to work. We were testing a custom Nutscript schema when the server went down for almost a whole day. I suggested that he purchase a server with NFO, but he refused due to the fact that he didn't have any money at the time, and that his paypal was limited from charging back on Steam. I had to pay for the server myself, and I registered it under the name of "Our Benefactors". This was the first sign of trouble. We were using NFO and a Nutscript schema, when Diss began to sell Combine Control at a discounted launch price. I jumped on the opportunity, as it was an amazing gamemode and would fit what wanted perfectly. A day later, Triplethink paid for the gamemode (but through me, because his paypal was limited) and we launched the server almost immediately. The first ever player on it was Nyan Bonk, who is now the co-owner, due to my trust in him and his dedication in making this server great. The server was a hit almost from that very day. Triplethink and I were both very ecstatic. This was the second sign of trouble. Beyond that point, Triplethink began to be offline a lot more. He works two jobs, and he didn't have time to be on. So, I took up the responsibilities of being the server owner. I, at first, only gave myself "owner" on the gamemode to help develop. The server was in its infancy and I had to help. We had a lot of minges, being a very new server, and I was the only admin on. Triplethink would go days without ever getting on, and I began to grew disheartened. Another thing was the fact that the playerbase he made vanished. Only one person who was ever on the server before, the time it was on Clockwork, ever showed up. The rest were ghosts. As time went on, Triple and I began to grow apart. He was barely on and I was always on. He was recommending admins I didn't feel were right, and making demands without actually being there through all the chaos. It was at this point that I decided the dream that him and I both shared had moved past him. I felt he was stuck in the past while I was thinking forward. I made a choice, after thinking about it long and hard and getting so much flak from it, to start my own thing. It was what I felt was best for the community. I told people, and still am, that you don't have to join my server. You can do whatever you want, and I wouldn't think badly upon you. People made a choice to continue to play under the new name, and for that, I am very grateful. Again, thank you everyone for sticking with us through it all. I appreciate every one of you.[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/F1Ta44J.png[/IMG] lol

*call* *hang up* attack sent bitch nice ip bro anyways i suggest you all become buddies again and start over again honestly it was kind of an ass move and if triplethink got 2 jobs it's not his fault, he can still be on sometimes, no need to kick him out and make your server good luck

[QUOTE=Liota;45751462]*call* *hang up* attack sent bitch nice ip bro[/QUOTE] okay i love you

That post on someone predicting this would die within a week or so is terribly ironic.

[quote]"Triplethink had fallen forward and lay on the earth as though sleeping. Turning him over one saw that he could not have suffered long; his face had an expression of calm, as though almost glad the end had come." Tyranny eventually finds its way into the hearts of those who once stood to stop it. Sansa Stark took the server overnight, locked me from it, and took the first step in making her server no greater then any other before it. History will repeat itself, and we can only hope the same, with time, will happen to her. There was a dream that was once Our Benefactors, it was filled with the ideas of democracy and community, the idea that power was to be disregarded and distributed to the player. Creativity was cherished and to be the same on our server was to be equivalent to death itself. The dream lives no longer. - triplethink[/quote] [url]http://www.forums-ourbenefactors.com/forum.php[/url] What an interesting read.

Maybe if both of the owners weren't so .. how do I say it, stingy? Maybe the whole thing would work out. But oh well, 5 players and a new schema, stalkerRP, from what I'm reading. Good luck.

[QUOTE=paulisdead18;45752399]That post on someone predicting this would die within a week or so is terribly ironic.[/QUOTE] It is? We still have players. Besides, this thread is pretty much abandoned by me.

Time for me to hijack it. [B]*raises original Our Benefactors dongers*[/B]

[QUOTE=Mr Wesker;45754053]Time for me to hijack it. [B]*raises original Our Benefactors dongers*[/B][/QUOTE] You really don't need to do that (Why would Sansa disagree)

What a fucking trainwreck lol. Did anyone else cringe at "so watch your god damn mouth" from someone who is likely still in school. I love this fucking drama I love this fucking section <3

[QUOTE=DeathByKittens;45759739]What a fucking trainwreck lol. Did anyone else cringe at "so watch your god damn mouth" from someone who is likely still in school. I love this fucking drama I love this fucking section <3[/QUOTE] Yeah, that was inappropriate of me. I was a bit angry and that doesn't happen too often. I try to keep a level head. Am I supposed to be shamed by your accusation that I'm probably still in school? I won't stoop to your level, but for the record, I haven't been in anything equivalent or below high school in almost half a decade. A mod should probably lock this though, considering OB is dead. Thanks. [QUOTE=DeathByKittens;45759739]I love this fucking drama[/QUOTE] Hardly drama, because I am hardly upset.

Dear god, Triple NEVER played on the server. It made sense for him to be replaced. The event that caused all this was him appointing an admin who powergamed and caused a three hour long argument and then triple demanded that we do the RP again, at his own times, so he could see what was happening. Most people involved flipped their shit. The new co-owner actually plays on the server, so it should be an improvement.
