Monika Nemethova
For those who don't know, Monika Nemethova is an EVENT CHARACTER who has persisted on Willard for some time, from Industrial-24, to City 24, to now Dark Interval. Though a lot of this report is surrounding the use of this character, it also goes into detail as to how Rabbit how he has kept the character alive, and switching them back and forth from an event character at will. Some of this report also goes into detail as to his role as a faction lead for the MOP, but also various instances with his OOC behaviour to IC action.
For some perspective, I was previously an Event team lead but decided to step away because my personal involvement was dipping. Regardless, the character Monika, leading up to Terminal 7 (few months back now), was just an average event character, who for the most part had vanished and stopped appearing with the dissolvement of the CPRD. Until one fateful day I get told Rabbit has, without consultation or approval from the ET leads at the time, had turned this ultra-omega, event CCA character into a tier one, MAIN SERVER CITIZEN CHARACTER. Anyone without a brain can see that this obviously wouldn't work, but regardless turning a very high up Combine scientist into a citizen overnight doesn't exactly work nor compute, but this is beside the point, these were the kinda of things ET could hash out with the ET leads, and to prevent any form of bias among the mod/ET team. After speaking with Rabbit it turned out it was approved by Robert. Here are the short logs of me confronting Rabbit:
As you can see in the above screenshot I was rather irritated but I do not believe this to be a good enough excuse for someone of his position to just, do what ever he wants. Comments like "Because I can?" Are not the most well received comments, especially when the person saying it is in a position of power. It also goes against anything related to ET, as when making an event character, you make sure they are staying as an event character and nothing more, if you wish to potentially push them to a main server character, you can do that, but consultation with ET leads is pretty much mandatory.
At this point in time I was acting co-lead for OTA, and after speaking with the current HOS, Neonity, as well as fellow Ordinal (Command unit for OTA) Ultima, I authorised the BOL and effective amputation of the character. Obviously Rabbit, until only yesterday, never hopped on the character again, but I think anyone with at least two brain cells in Rabbits position could tell I did not want them playing the character....
I had no idea on where I should put this but a situation I completely forgot about was when Rabbit, and this no joke here, THREATENED the administration/loyalist part WITH Monika, all while PLAYING Maesroe. For reference he's threatening someone on one of his characters with the presence of another one of his characters, one that holds almost unlimited authority, something that furthers my point about his incompetence.
The Monika Hallucination
This was only a few weeks/days after the initial incident surrounding the character, so you can expect my genuine OOC surprise when I hear that Rabbit has gone ahead and, for some reason, played the character as a hallucination... And I'm not talking about the corpse model running at you at the dead hours of night type of hallucination, I'm talking about the, hop out of noclip in front of 3-5 players, with a "Only X person can see me" static char action above their head, and then proceeds to attack and mangle other characters. Now I don't need to be a blind man to see that there's major issues with this incident, to it being very immersion breaking, to just down right mingey...
Here are just THREE snipets of /me's, and an /it of the RP and event, word for word.
Of course this was reported to me at the time by various members of ET, the players, and some moderators. Me and the other ET leads at this point decided to cut Rabbit from the event team.
Though from an outside POV it does come across that I and the other ET leads were aggressive in our removal, this didn't exactly stand for long as I was convinced by another ET lead to give him a chance and see if his work would improve.
From this point on there were several more incidents in which Rabbit tried to weasel the character back to the main server, to various documents being left in the I24 ruin, to various other outlets, and as you can expect, didn't speak to anyone about.
There are various logs in the CMU discord about me telling Rabbit why I dislike the character. For the most part I hope this part of the report goes into enough detail as to why I believe:
A. Rabbit is a terrible roleplayer and event team member.
B. Monika is a terrible character.
C. And Rabbit is a very incompetent GM.
I could go on with various other incidents surrounding the character, but I wont because I've said enough. Instead I'll finish it by saying he's brought the character back during the Dark Interval event! And that BOL Ultima legitimately placed on his character? Gone, poof!
"Time is a flat circle..."
Inability to take thing in-character
This part goes into his past convictions and their inability to take in-character actions in-character. Most of these situations lead to Rabbit demanding something go his way, and previously when he was server council, outright overrule people in some cases. The most recent incident I can personally think of was when I gave an MCP agent approval to start the MOP/Administration rework. For some clarification, the Ministries were being dissolved and adjusted in some way.
The MOC into a SeCon position
The MOE into a street level department.
The MOP also into a street level department.
Regardless the approval was very simple as I basically only gave a thumbs up to start the process sooner rather than later. Mind you the MOE took a few days to change, and the MOC took only a few hours, if not straight away. The MOP on the other hand was requesting for a broad THREE-WEEKS to change their faction from a ministry to a department. I believe the situation that occurred in the faction lead channel was showing of his inability to take things IC, and was a stark example of his incompetence as faction lead but also moderator.
This goes on for a while so I skipped a good few screenshots.
This is not the first instance this has happened either. Back in Terminal 7 the Terminal was currently losing a lot of funding due to excess spending. Myself, Agatha Wolstenholme, decided to speak with the various faction representatives to potentially cut costs. I spoke to the CWU and they agreed to cut costs where they could, cutting down CWU wages for the duration of a month. The CMU I was unable to contact due to their lead not being on that day, and last but not least, the MOP, to which the lead at the time, Layla Adkins, agreed to TEMPORARILY SUSPEND their departments entire wage so that they could save the Terminal's funding.
Obviously once again this resulted in an OOC argument with Rabbit as he felt there was no longer any reason to join the MOP, and even ran up the chain all the way to Atle, to which I even told him I was unable to do anything on my end.
The Ministry of sometimesbutnotallthetime Progress
The MOP is also a major issue I have personal gripes with, as it's not only wasted on Rabbits lacking foresight and creativity, but has been purposely hindered by his extreme incompetence.
During our return to City 24, a lot of criticism the MOP faced was that the MOP was not evil enough, and was wasted on the Ministers soft heart. With that being said Rabbit decided it to be a good idea to make a new Minister character, this time with them being much more 'evil'(?). Fast forward a few days/weeks and Orwell is ordering the construction of an Academy of sorts, a simple request given by the Administrator himself. Rabbits response on the other hand was nothing but baffling and obviously led to him getting into trouble in-character.
Some of you might not know this but I've actually tried to help the Ministry of Progress in the past, the most recent case was when we returned to City 24 and they wanted to push some sort of soda? Regardless Cengiz came to me and requested I make a skin for the soda can, and you know what, I believe it came out pretty well all things considered.

It's not the greatest soda design known to man but I worked with what I had, and it worked, and I saw ZERO application for this in-character. I didn't see vending machines filled with the drink, I didn't see the MOP running mandatory work shifts where people would test the prototypes for this experimental drink, it all resulted in absolutely nothing, hence my frustration with the faction leadership, mainly Rabbit.
I believe the faction is being hindered by Rabbits OOC incompetence when handling the factions IC reputation, see the above image with the relay as my main evidence. I'm not asking that he be a complete god send but it's obvious he has zero idea how to play an 'evil' character, and would resort to playing Maesroe, a character is so good, you'd be surprised thinking she works for a genocidal regime. The problem comes when he has zero idea how to play an evil character, and this evil research faction are now locked off from any research considered remotely evil.
The BRI prided itself on being evil, but that it would flaunt that it. It gave enough that you wouldn't trust them, but just enough to the point you might want to work with them, after all you're only 10 credits short for that new fedora.
The MOPs reputation is currently in the gutter IC and OOC, and I feel like everyone is beating around the bush when it comes to pointing out the one causing the factions constant bleed of interest. For a faction that has a lot of potential to bring in players and get involved with the player base, @Rabithunter sure does a good job of keeping the people at bay.
There were talks of removing Rabit quite some time ago, just before the reopening for City 24, actually he was actually on the chopping block during Terminal 7, and you know what, community management pulled a "We'll give him one more chance.", you know, I'm sure Rabit is going to figure it out after what, his third, fourth try at the MOP now?
This post was something I've been personally holding off for some time but as time has gone on, and I've grown more frustrated with Rabbits antics, I've been left with no other option. The straw that broke the camels back was the fact Rabbit, someone who for the better of a year, had stayed under his rock, just for him now to come crawling out as I resign as ET lead, and bring back Monika in an event where he frames her BOL as nothing but a 'mistake', something that is a MAJOR spit in the face.
I'm personally advocating for Rabbits removal as MOP lead and moderator. He's stayed within these positions through his personal relationships to the members of community management.
There are a plethora of other reasons I'm sure I can bring to light, but I wont for the sake of my time, as well as the readers, but if you personally have had any grievances with Rabbit, mainly things pertaining to his position as MOP lead and being a mod, I suggest you comment below.
