Finally there's the chance for me to put my two cents into the case.
Honestly the whole experience, the talks, evidence and acts strongly suggest that the leads want to create the second coming of Nebulous Cloud in the Civil Protection as the system. The way units act in fear that they get OOCly/ICly punished by the all-seeing Dispatch (Disbitch) is already a good example of such considering that they might be as active as always, killing off any humanity in the roleplay and actions. People go over this wrong depiction of "black and white" mentality that it hurts the server too much. The structure of the application strongly resembles one in Nebulous - too much information, we expect perfection in your acts, hope you can read all the guides OOCly to give the answers instead of showing your common sense and the ability to roleplay, the will to learn and adapt as how serious you can take the faction. That's the purpose of the application - to see the basic knowledge that the player already has about the faction, how he can utilize the logic and acts without consulting additional, within the faction literature and give them a chance in the faction, only then to filter the units who really fuck up or not paying attention to the written material. Are we willing to give chance to common folk from all other communities or create MPF MLG Cybersport League?
Also, here's more evidence of how people feel about the MPF currently.
What also kills any initiative to try and join the force or play the server is the personal attitude, the bias that the faction leads can hold. I thought it was golden rule to judge the actions of the player only within the area the player is playing. Innocent until proven guilty inside of the community, and so the application should not hold that. I had an issue during the late July, early August period of playing in WN, when it still was Short Stories, when me, the faction lead who took the rank leader and the community memeber, who was responsible for the event, had a little, quiet argument which lead me going with my stuff and not really following the community. It happened, I think, five or six months ago, a considerably large period of time to forget and forgive. I understand if it was the staff application - you look for the people who is going to moderate the players, seeing how they do and the man, who left the place after one issue is not very trustworthy, especially at the start - I totally dig with that. The other issue is when you are not allowed into the faction, which supposed to root you with the community, where the application reviews your skills of how to read, how to act and roleplay, especially knowing how bad the situation is. Only to be told this
And then later learning about the rumor/slander within the community that people oddly believe, having the anonymous three staff members telling that one player supposedly was in other community causing issues.
(And I was not given any information later who did it nor evidence proving me being in that community).
I'm afraid we also stumble upon the case of elitarism and personal bias of the faction lead in the area, where none should be present because the faction itself is yet another hook for the community members to stay. I feel very demoralized to continue in this community because it appears that personal is much more important than the deeds done within the server currently, when the server opened and not in the limbo state. Why the Civil Leads are more open and not relying much on the past and personal interactions while the MPF lead, which is also another Civil faction does? Again, I'm sorry I have to show these logs, but I cannot remain silent about this since the issue is quite present and there are more cases of such happening with other players. The issue is rather clear.
