Question for Iyoforeayo
I still check in here once a month or so as Atlas has aspects to it that are absolutely amazing and even with my protest, I still have hope that this server becomes what I thought it was (where I would return).
My question for you Iyoforeayo (and anyone else is welcome to chime in if they wish) is twofold.
Are nations of great power still encouraged to create barriers, or to attack as a means to hamper, on other nations ability to progress; specifically nations that begin to advance enough to challenge the "great power?"
Is there some aspect of public accountability yet, or are decisions made by the moderation still private as a means to hide what punishment is given through favoritism?
This second question was one I protested and eventually left over because I felt (and feel) that there should be some public awareness about the accountability of punishments visited on someone breaking the rules; because lacking that, the mods could simply say someone has been punished, when in reality nothing has happened.
The first I remember was problematic and the combination of these two things lead to several people leaving the server over it.
Your "In regards to the server" post a few weeks ago made me curious enough to ask if these things have yet been addressed, or if they are still... not.
I would reiterate, both of these things, by "great powers" ruining the fun of lesser ones or mods hiding their decisions, very effectively fall under being a dick, and while I understand and agree with the sentiment that every path should be available for players to enjoy; that has not traditionally been the case as the consensus when I played was that peace was never an option for anyone and that punishment was selective based on who the mods liked.
Thank you for any response you may have here, and even though I still protest these things, thank you for helping building something that even flawed, is so uniquely amazing.
