Innectis, transparency, and my situation

--- Quote from: gohkamikaze on August 03, 2016, 12:59:19 PM ---I began writing a huge rant, but it seems rather pointless seeing as I'm unlikely to return to Innectis.
Alpha, if I'm going to give a few words of advice:
1) Keep on doing IDP, but step down as community manager. This place needs someone dedicated who actively listens to their playerbase and staff and is consistently present. You're brilliant at coding, but historically have had a less than stellar record in community engagement - if the players and even your staff abandoning you isn't an indication of that, then I don't know what is.
2) It's good to see you don't want to micromanage everything anymore. That was a huge issue for myself and a number of players when we left. Make sure you don't start slipping back into those bad habits.
3) If all else fails, then please, just let go of the past and let this place fade gracefully into obscurity.
Best of luck.

Reviving Innectis is not going to be easy. I believe we should start advertising in some way because otherwise Innectis is just not going to get any traffick whatsoever.

We need to first complete all the outstanding things that we started on and then we can figure things out from there.

I guess I didn't explain good enough which is why you still suggested I step down. This issue doesn't just affect Innectis, but it affects me. I'm still confident I could perform well, but I just needed a well-deserved break.
I'd still want to be head of the website and head of IDP but as far as community projects go I'd rather suggest but not be the one to see them out. That's for another discussion with the staff to figure out though. I'd still do my own server projects.
I know you had some ill with the community but not sure why. Now I think I'm the one that caused that. If so then I am truly sorry.

I've noticed in what your recent communications, this reply, and this letter is you keep saying everything you do is for you, and that you are your biggest concern. Here is a great example so I had to point it out. You wont do what people feel best for your own sake, when you should really be listening to your community for your community rather than doing what is essentially satisfying your ego. If you step down you'll feel like you've failed, you've made that abundantly clear to us all at this point, but why not put that aside for one minute and realise that even if you feel like you have failed that doesn't mean you have, and instead of clinging onto ghosts of the past and staying in a perpetual feeling of failure, actually do what needs to be done and try your best to satisfy yourself.
I spent a large portion of my childhood and probably about 1/3 of my time on the internet since getting my own computer on this server, and I've kept personal contact with you as well Alpha. You know full well that I like you and that none of us want to see any of this go down in flames, can you please just listen to us and give the suggestions a try, I know you have ways to revert pretty much everything on the server if need be so why wont you just try them out for the server, and seeing as you care more about it than anything else, yourself. Please man c'mon
P.S. This big letter you've been leading us to for months, your big excuse as to why you never go any further, is nothing new. This has all been said before and is basically just a recap, and not just in my eyes.

And please don't insult people for their opinions, especially with insults as childish as that kthx <3

Merc has a point, Alpha. Almost everything you've done as a member of Staff has been phrased in terms of what you want. This isn't a new problem - since the day you became Admin you've often made decisions that seemed to fly in the face of both reason and the general consensus of the community because it's what you wanted. You've spent so long trying to build a legacy that you've forgotten a legacy means nothing if there's nobody left to acknowledge it.
Look man, I'll be straight: If I said that your actions as a staff member engaging with the community didn't play a part in me leaving, I'd be lying. I don't harbour any grudge or ill will though. I don't hate you. Like I said, you're a brilliant coder and an alright guy, but your ethos makes you suited for something other than the face of Innectis.
ArkaTekk, you're only new (unless you're an alternative of Ryan, in which case hi Ryan!) so you haven't seen or been through the things that the fossils like Alpha, Merc or myself have. I'm being a bit harsh, yes, but this had been a particular sticking point for many of us.

Now, whilst I do agree with your main message here, and I am one of the people who has badgered Alpha the most lately. But I would like to clarify that I do not feel as strongly about everything to the same extent as you do.
