    So database logs from 2017 are fabricated? Players filing reports and complaining are fabricated? I was once told from one of these staff members "Logs don't lie", well they sure don't do they? Now unless you're trying to tell everyone that this evidence is fabricated. No, what's insulting is the players that were banned, abused and neglected due to a person in a position of power. Could you please provide some examples? I can name a few for one. Using leadermarkers to gain an unfair gameplay advantage through gaining the knowledge of where every single group leader was on the map at all times. Whenever my group used to play on the server we would assign a 'sheep' to be group leader, which essentially means sentencing him to die at the hands of Ya Mum, and surely enough this happened every single time. It wouldn't matter if you where 15 meters apart from each other, he would always kill the group leader 90% of the time. With jets, rockets, drones and finally wall banging with a APDS Lynx. If you're telling me these reasons to not equate to disgruntled players as they would die due to a major disadvantage, any element of surprise or stealth went out the window when you where either a group leader or a Single Indi player (Counts as leader). If anyone questioned him in global he would come up with any excuse to say he wasn't using an unfair advantage. Anyone should sure as hell quit the server after being shot through a wall with a Lynx multiple times, and he always gave the same excuse "Your gun was through the wall" etc. Multiple times.. If you don't see the problem here then why even question StrayaGaming Leads. No you cannot but you can sure as hell run it into the ground through abuse of power. What exactly does 'dirt' consist of? You make it sound like hard evidence is to be ignored because it is 'dirt' Of course if someone is banned unfairly they will try their best to get unbanned. Imagine if you spoke about kits in global and got permanently banned, doesn't seem right does it? Or if you saw an admin spawn inside a jet then went to question it and got banned? It sounds like you cannot accept the hard truth of the manner. Your friends cheated and they got caught, you can make any excuse you want but at the end of the day they're in the wrong. So you're telling me the ability to spawn in fully kitted with a Thermal helmet, AA, Ghillie, Lynx and Nightstalker isn't unfair. What about a Compact, Thermal Helmet, Navid and Nightstalker. This can be argued as gear does not equate to skill. However when you combine that with the use of Leadermarkers it opens the gates to so many possibilities. Tell me exactly how the use of these kits which would normally cost near 90k each isn't unfair to be used unlimited times , or how it does not unfair affect others, or how it is a minor perk. You can't? That's alright, I wouldn't be able to either. The whole arrangement of "it is a minor perk as mentioned for people who have to spend their playing time moderating the server and not accumulating money" is invalid once the people who have access to it played every single day for 30 days straight for multiple hours per day. Anyone could accept the use of those kits if they had limited play time, or that they are hard at work developing for the server, or expanding the map. But once you give a function like that to someone who plays more than 80% of the playerbase and allow him to do as he wishes it becomes a major problem. On the off chance he dies with all these advantages or a player kills him despite him knowing their location all the time, he can spawn another in and do it all again? No, anyone with half a brain would call this an unfair advantage, but you call it a "Minor Perk" and argue that it does not negatively affect others. Additionally loadouts to my understanding where allowed for moderate use, not for usage unlimited times within the day. I cannot say my opinion on this manner as i do not know what goes on behind closed doors at StrayaGaming, however i'm sure the Staff members where warned. It also makes me sad that this kind of behaviour was allowed to go on for such a long period of time, and i am thankful for Red & LuckyB33f naming and shaming the staff in question. How exactly was it unfair, maybe it unfair to the players that where on the other end of it? What and when he chooses to do when your are playing is completely up to him, however even though you may of never seen him use kits recently, the server logs once again are there and they do not lie. And i'm sure those newer staff members have done more for StrayaGaming than Ya Mum did in his entire years of 'hard work', of which all he was an over glorified moderator. He was given power to do good and he abused it and was dealt with. How exactly isn't it true that he abused his powers, you cannot look at the cold hard facts and accept them, please tell that the the many people that have quit Wasteland due to him, or the individuals that where unfairly disadvantaged due to his 'non-abuse' of power.

    I appreciate the response beef, Even with that though, I play with 2 of those staff members every day, I heard most of what was going on behind the scenes and I still truly believe that the whole situation was completely unfair. I understand that kit use may have occurred in the past, but it was allowed by the server manager, and within the past 2 months I have not seen him use a kit with me me, and I play fairly often. Regardless of that I think you can appreciate that a server administrators job shouldn't be pulled into question by the use of some kits in-game, and years of his hard work questioned by leadership staff that came into the server well after he had taken on his role. I think that he should have at least had a chance to try and fix the issues with Wasteland in a co-operative environment instead of being put up on display as a person who abuses his powers, because that is not true at all. That fact that a poll was started to fire him from his position while discussions were still being had about how to help the wasteland server population and fix any issues with staff is completely wrong. I know this post probably won't fix or change anything but I really hope that the new team that has to come to try and help the wasteland server doesn't get such a harsh go, because at the end of the day they are giving up their free time to help your server, they should not be the ones being put on trial.

    Wasteland Changes Lads, We undergoing some changes with Wasteland Staff and Server. We are aiming to upgrade the server over the next few months. We will not be updating the current server while we work on the new server unless there is a massive issue. We aim to rebuild the population back into this server. Cheers LuckyB33f

    I have known donk for over a year now and his role play on and off the field is great! He shows dedication and goes down to the nitty gritty on role play making the play expericnce very immersive. He is also a good driver and communication in combat is an easy 10. I myself am a Senior Constable and I see donk as someone who is more than capable of filling the role of Sergant. Thanks, -K10W

    In response to this thread: I didn't really want to make a thread about this, i'm normally a fairly quiet player on the server and since retiring 2 years ago when J17 was around I tried to avoid getting involved in the politics of a gaming community, but this thread really did push me over the edge. It sickens me to see such rubbish being spouted out by a supposed "Leader" of this community, a person who was brought in and catapulted straight to the top due to internal friends, all of which is completely fabricated and insulting. The primary issue with this all is not only is he insulting peoples work that they have put into this server for years and given up their own free time instead of playing the game, he has done it to people who have done it for no reward, and clearly no personal gain now that this thread has come out dragging their names through the mud. This entire fiasco started due to some leadership staff increasingly putting pressure onto the Wasteland staff to "Boost the numbers" and "Provide better support for players", yet they had taken no notice of why the players were leaving the server, nor that it had nothing to do with the people who put in their own time to maintaining what little player base there was. You cannot moderate a server to popularity, and the sole responsibility of increasing population for a server lies in the hands of the developers and the owners, no one else. I understand complaints were made for some staff, as is expected with any moderation role as you need to make decisions which obviously the opposing party are not going to like (e.g. abusive players getting banned for being abusive, they are going to complain to get unbanned and pull any dirt up on the staff member they can). But that is not grounds to make people feel like they are worthless and that all the work they have put into this server was for nothing, they are what kept this server from falling into dismay and the fact that you would go as far to say that LOADOUTS, an arbitrary at best function given to admins was the reason they were somehow abusing the playerbase is absolutely pathetic. Loadouts were allowed at all times by the operating staff of wasteland as it not only doesn't affect other players unfairly, it is a minor perk as mentioned for people who have to spend their playing time moderating the server and not accumulating money. This new group of server leadership staff seems to have a persistent trend of pointing fingers instead of assisting their staff or resolving issues, and it really does put a poor light on what this community once was, a mere shadow of what it used to be, with poisonous people using their appointed ranks to do whatever they want to try and save face. It really makes me sad.

    The new StrayaLife doesn't have a decided time of arrival just yet, Connor and further staff are helping to develop it and try go as quick as possible, in my eyes i say why not join back. You'll have a good amount of time to play, a couple of months at least. The reason for the lengthy reset is due to the depth and coding amongst this "Update" of such. But you will definitely have enough time to make sufficient money and have some fun.

    Recently there have been some staff members that have either been getting bored with the work they are doing, or are unable to work appropriately with other staff members. Some have retired, some have been removed from staff and one has even been community banned as a result. I would like to point out that I am targeting the ex-staff members and making it very clear that we will never tolerate this kind of behavior. Unfortunately, when it comes down to it, this is the sad reality of any online gaming community. There is no legal obligation for staff to perform and act correctly, they are all volunteers. We entrust a lot of power and authority in the staff team, intending for it to be used to benifet the community. Sadly some staff will decide that they are leaving, or bored of the community. Due to the nature of the internet and anonymity, they elect to destroy whatever they can in an attempt to bring everyone and everything down with them. Here is a brief overview of recent incidents: Wasteland Over the past few weeks and months, Lucky B33f and I have been discussing at lengths about issues with Wasteland Staff abusing the powers that we have given them, to quite severe extents. In a recent patch we removed 90% of the 'fun' admin tools, this is purely due to the fact that no appropriate resolution could be made between the wasteland staff after multiple interventions to reduce the abuse of power. As a result of this YaMum the Administrator was removed from staff, Baden retired, and Unit Retired. Lucky B33f and I both identified multiple players receiving abuse from YaMum while under an alias. Additionally YaMum was responsible for the introduction of over 350 admin kits to the game and the utilization of player markers to gain an unfair advantage more than 200 time. For a comparison of kits between other staff, see the below numbers. Admin kits allow staff to spawn in items for them to use on either event or for general gameplay, we normally allow this as staff are usually unable to spend the same amount of time playing the game and building up their arsenal due to staffing work. Please note these results were recorded on December 19th. Admin Kits since Dec 1st Yamum 48 Unit 12 James 1 Excel 0 Baden 10 Total 71 Admin Kits since forever Yamum 320 Unit 22 James 38 Excel 49 Total 487 Altis Life We have permanently banned Krypkii from the community due to multiple breaches of community guidelines after he retired. Krypkii, after deciding to retired has proceeded to remove all community members from the Discord server. Spawn in money on Altis Life with Moderator tools and abuse moderator functions to hunt and kill other players. In this image Krypkii altered his bank account to give himself $80m These are the logs for Krypkii using the free cam function to teleport around the map and kill players.
