RIP mini... Sometimes life just fucks you. Lost a good guy. Really hope there is an afterlife and he's there living it up. 

RIP mini... Sometimes life just fucks you. Lost a good guy. Really hope there is an afterlife and he's there living it up. 

Mini was such a good dude spent countless hours playing with him, like sjuol said met up with him in Denmark and he genuinely was a nice guy. Such a shame that such a good person goes out young.  RIP (had to dig out this doodle from the doodle thread from 2016) Would have loved to meetup with him and Levi in the future
 

Thank you, everyone, for the kind words. Mini was not only a good person, but he was a fantastic partner. We initially met on Asylum maybe 8 years ago. We played on and off for a long while. Countless games played, countless drinks drunk, and some of the greatest memories that a person can have. He made the last 3 years of my life truly amazing and not only that but he also made me a better person than the one I was before. He became the love of my life in that time. His loss is absolutely devastating, so I am grateful to all of you for the support and love you've shown. 

To Mini, if you can read this, you were loved and cherished all over. Hopefully one day we can be reunited. Until then, love of my life. 

Hello everyone. 

Unfortunately i am bringing some terrible news to the community. 

One of Asylums Old long time members Minibagge unfourtunately passed away on Tuesday 21st of May, in a car accident.

For anyone who has been here for any period of time, you will more than likley have interacted with him. He has been in asylum for as long as i can remember. Way back a decade. 

On a personal note, Mini was a goofy lovable fuckin teddy bear that Drunk Squad was privileged to have had in our ranks. He was an absolute nerdy sweetheart. We had the pleasure of watching him and Leviathan start to fall in love and start their relationship that evolved to an engagement before he was suddenly taken away from her. 

He was a fully non toxic, down to earth stand up lad who brightened up our teamspeak daily. DS are feeling the hurt and i cannot imagine the hole that must be left in the lives of Levi and his family. Obviously sending nothing but love and thoughts their way. 

Nothing but love gents. 

-DS Billy

 

Maybe I should record myself molesting fruit. That'll surely get everyone to laugh at me. 😉

For the community meeting can we subtract the community part and just have the meeting? Matter of a fact, let's just axe the whole thing all together.

You know... there may be a fully rebuilt Athira HQ just waiting to be put in that may help counter such an office building. *cough cough*

I would love to RP as Dirty Hairy. 
But it should definitely be illegal. Not like that stops anyone from using anything. 

Yes sir. A thousand apologies, my feeble admin mind was misguided. Please forgive me. I will devote my time to honor the one true Kavala gang by making the new Kavala Bamboo Union Stash House Fortress. 

This is kinda what the Stash House was supposed to be. It may change to be controllable like a turf or remain the same. TBA. 

First off, thanks for sharing your experiences thus far. I think you'll be happy to learn that some of them are already being addressed and changed in the very next upcoming patch. Stay tuned! Secondly, not trying to flame you here; however, I have to set the record straight on this since you called out Crimson in particular.

"For a gang that has so many admins in it"
There are only two active admins in Crimson, myself and Nathan. Darkkknight is also there but he doesn't really fight with us, he plays cop. In addition to that, Nathan rarely plays on the main server outside Gang Fort/Gang Boat/Domination. Hell, even I don't play that much with Crimson. That's the reality behind "for a gang with so many admins" angle. I hope this helps set the record straight. 

"all whilst being extremely toxic"
You are correct in the regards to there being some very toxic people in Crimson who in particular love talking shit on side chat. None of those people are admins. Also, I'm not able or willing to control their speech (or anyones speech) on sidechat as long as they don't start dropping N bombs and don't elevate things to the level of harassment. Even if I tried to, they would rightfully tell me to kick rocks.

Listen, I get it. All global chats on video games always boil down to a vehicle used to shit talk everyone in any game ever. This can get pretty discouraging, especially when you are losing and they are shit talking. However, if we tried to police the shit talking on side chat then this would quickly turn into a PC enviornment which would be even more repulsive to players than the rampant shit talking that is currently taking place. It's the old addage of "Just because there is a problem doesn't mean that the solution is worse".  
"in exactly what they do/the way the behave/treat other players in general" 
I spend almost 50% of my time when I am on civ TPing around to players on the map seeing what they are up to. If I find a group of newish players, I RP with them, give them a little cash, and teach them the ropes. I've done that to many multiples of groups of players this week alone. Just because your experience with some of us at cartels was negative doesn't mean that everyone in the gang is toxic, you know? 

I won't address each and every point, because then that would turn this reply into something almost as long as your original post. However, I must throw my hat into the ring here and say that you missed the mark on a majority of what you mentioned specifically in this section. I have a hypothesis as to why you may think these things though. I'll include that in the paragraph below this one. You are 100% correct about the toxicity from a few players in the gang though. Either way, I enjoyed reading your thoughts on the rest of your post. I look foward to what you think about most of these things after this next patch. 

Here is my hypothesis on your assumption on Crimson. I have seen you solo push us on cartels multiple times (as you have mentioned) and died rather quickly. Not because you are or are not a good or bad player, but because on many of these caps it's easy to see people approaching and a single fighter solo pushing without armor is rather limited in what they can do against a group of moderately skilled players with armor. When you were killed, you might have been mocked for being ineffective. I honestly do not remember if you were or were not derided, I just remember you solo pushing multiple times. I think you've taken that annoying experience and coupled it with the shit talking you've seen on side chat. Then, I believe you've further added the fact that Crimson has admins in it and came to the assumption that all the admins/players in it are basically just douche bags and are forming a toxic echelon to ruin all new player's experience and the overall game in general. The only grain of truth to my hypothesis on your take is that Crimson certainly does have some toxic players in it. A very, very vocal minority. Is that the way I prefer to play the game? No. However, I won't ask someone to stop playing the game the way that they want to play it simply because they talk shit in side chat. The alternative of policing side chat is far worse than its current state and only if those exchanges get elevated to a apoint of harassment can the admin team step in.
