Title: Convoy Trucking, the community, and what can be done for it.
Post by: Emily on March 10, 2014, 01:57
Alrighty guys, this is something that I've been thinking about for some time now. I've been running the thought of quitting over and over again in my head. I just haven't because I still enjoy playing. Part of the reason I've been thinking about quitting is because of you guys. Let me go into detail.

CT was designed for everyone to have fun and play around, whether they convoyed or performed one of the missions or even just derped around was completely up to them. But, lately the attitudes and conversations have just started to become exactly what mick wants to avoid: people trolling, disrespecting others, acting childish, etc. I'm not trying to say fix this or fix that. I just want to address it for everyone to read (although fixing it would be great)

I'm going to take Katelyn for example:

Hey guys. Well I havent even been bothered to go on the server because lately all of the bullshit and drama all of you children cause has disrupted my love for the server and the people here

No wonder she quit. The way you people act has caused one of the few players I actually enjoyed to talk to leave.

Ethan is always getting attacked by people who don't like him (yes I'm on his side). Just for some of the smallest screw ups he is attacked by someone, or he is told to go to fucking hell (saw it in the Shoutbox today). What bothers me the most is that there is never any reason behind any of this.

All I'm trying to say is that we should set aside our differences and try to fix all of this. CT is supposed and used to be a place of fun, but it has turned into a place where people act childish and only care for themselves. So, please, if you will, try to fix these things for CT and the community.

CT will rise up again, to be great, to be the best!

I feel the same way about it. I barely talk in game now because of the people. Yes im gonna take Ethans side on this. Everyone makes mistakes why do you go out on him. Other admins make mistakes even you players who judge him make mistakes. Like seriously grow up. I feel like the admins are playing daycare on the server. All the trolls used to be good players I loved them but they turned for the worst for who knows why. If CT went back to the way it was a year ago before my ban, I would play alot more but now I dont even think its worth staying anymore.

People do make mistakes, but when you make mistakes all the time there's a problem. Just so we're clear, Ethan pulled the "Go to fucking hell" card first.

Anyway, in order for this topic to not be locked because truth hurts:

The server is 4 years old. It's getting boring. There are other games to play. People play other, more modern games.

You won't be able to fix this when we have certain staff members who target players. Do not tell me that this is bullshit. I've seen the staff section.

I'm in no way saying all staff members are bad. Almost all of them are awesome but it only takes one, or two, rotten apples to fuck up the entire bag full.

I have to agree 100% with you Emily


At times I feel like I get attacked from players cause of other mods fuckups and making us look bad.


However most of us get our jobs done as best as we can and the community shouldn't need to be as bad as it is at the moment.


Hopefully when the server is back online people might stop whinging about lag and stop abusing each other.

About Ethan being attacked: Yes he is being attacked and all the mistakes he did are brought up everytime. BUT He should stay calm and stay cool. He gets pissed of very easyly and make bad decisions. Stay cool ethan.

Some staff not gonna name them take their duty too seriously, its a game c'mon let players have fun. And when you are not in good mood its better to not do mod duty, let other staff member handle it.
Its a game afterall.

Some players are also ruining the community..Idk whats their problem, they just create problem and find mistakes of staff all the time. I'd like to request them not to create trouble.

But we are not loosing players because of this, the game is old, server is 4 year old its getting boring we need something new. There are awesome games out there so its naturally ppl will play them and leave SA. And players are getting old :P they have collage/ jobs and dont get much time as they used to.


At last we must work together and help server to recover and make it popular and fun to play.

I am at nobody side. I am giving my opinion as a normal player.

Wow such off topic... Anyway half the crap that's brought up: Ethan being attacked and all the disrespect that pops and even the fights are all for no reason. Ethan being attacked is for no good reason. Sure he does fuck up but there is no reason to attack him for it because he is only human we all are. There are no admins that haven't made a mistake... There is no scripter that hasn't made a mistake... Hell I bet even mick has. Just for some silly mistakes is not any reason to attack anyone
Title: Re: Convoy Trucking, the community, and what can be done for it.
Post by: Barney_Ross on March 10, 2014, 13:11
My opinion here is that staff step back just a little, dont intervene every little fight that is going on server ( with this i mean one vs one arguments which can be solved by them self).

Secondly, now days there is 30 players online, few admins/modetators, always same. So inevitably we get to point where same admin/modetator get involved with same guys with warnings or mute ect. ect. And because of this, people start arguments with admins and start to make groups who are against this admin or not against.

So, We should get more FRESH admin staff, and especially more admins online.

Players should start to behave more mature when they get warned or muted or something, they dont start to complain things (of course if they have been misunderstood, they will complain).

Staff should use sense with actions they take, and try minimize overstatements.

Yes yes yes bla bla bla bla.........

There are bunch of topics like this yet nothing changed,so you just wasted your time making this,because admins dont give a shit about it

"Ethan is always getting attacked by people who don't like him (yes I'm on his side). Just for some of the smallest screw ups he is attacked by someone"

Smallest screw ups?Open your eyes!.....oh i forgot you kiss his ass so admins wont ban you.I see

It's people like you is why the server is the way it is. Ethan is doing his job and he's only human. That goes for all staff for that matter they are only human

It's not admins that change. It's the people. Admins only do their jobs. If staff were dictators there would be no CT. There would be no true fun of screwing around on a Friday night... We all need to open our eyes and see that admins are part of the help and the trolls and people complaining are part of the reason why others aren't happy

Not necessarily. You missed the message earlier I assume. Mick said he's moving server soon in Shoutbox

Post by: Shake on March 10, 2014, 13:45
this is the most bullshit, asslicking topic i've ever fucking seen in my entire life. fucking tryhards.

don't try to hide it, CT IS dying like SAMP is, there is no way you can deny it, and with this bullshit host more and more players will leave/are leaving.

i'm not going to speak about ethan because everyone that is pure blind is on his side, and i'll only talk to that people once they open their eyes. and about that going to fucking hell thing, you just see what he does right, am i correct? because HE was the person who said it first to Spektre, you can see it in his sig.

plus, lets all just say it: some staff can't do shit properly. some of them already changed for the best and i congratulate them for that, mature attitude and thanks for seeing both sides, but some can't do shit.

and for fucks sake, i've never seen ethan's name in some posts like i have right now. the asslick here is fucking strong. congratulations maybe you'll get your mod spot the bad way and be disliked by most people because you just got it thanks to asslicking and not for being a cool person which helps the others (some staff got their position like that and i like them because they're good people, they didnt asslick)


this is my opinion about this topic.

tldr: topic is bullshit, this wont change anything, stop asslicking, watch both sides of the argument.

The reason why im not banned is because i rarely write here and dont even play on this server

LMFAO!You are one of those admin ass kissers who talk shit but cant back it up.So people like me is the reason why this server dying?

Can you explain what im doing wrong?All im doing is saying my opinion.I dont troll,dont insult/disrespect others so what are you talking about?I know i know even you dont know it

The only reason why Ethan is not doing shit against you because you are cool with him (and probably he wants to date you idk)

Post by: GeneralLee on March 10, 2014, 15:46
I won't say much because some players will get my message wrongly.
I am not and was never been Ethan's friend,I don't know if I chated with him more than 2-3 lines,but I don't see him as a bad person,just some of CT players that hate him and they want to force Ethan to resign.
Some of them know how to break the rules and avoid to be punished(They was staff members) and when they get punished they start complaining that the punishment wasn't fair . That's not open minded that's just childish.

Anyway this is how I see things going on here.
Don't ask me to reply here again.

Sure. You may say CT is dying, but it means you aren't open minded. For some odd reason, I still have faith in this server. For some odd reason I'm going to make my attempt to follow it until it's dust in the wind. Unlike some of you I have kept my love for this server. Seeing the way some of you act just disheartens me.

Why people left:
1) Hosting
2) Staff
3) Real life stuff
4) It simply became boring

1. Hosting
Say what you want, but the last year (since 2013) the host was really bad, we switched a lot, had lots of downtime, there are a lot of people that left because of this, it was literally unplayable for some people. I won't join if I see 20/100 and no one I really like, and this is what a lot of people also do.

2. Staff
Hate on me, ignore me, do whatever you want since I don't really care about you since this is my opinion. The staff has a bad image here like someone already said "It only takes one, or two, rotten apples to fuck up the entire bag full", those 1 or 2 staff make a bad impact on all the staff here, ofcourse there are people in the staff team that I really appreciate and like, but some are just not completely "staff-visioned" to have that role. I can write for ages about this but you get the general idea and everyone knows who I (and everyone else) mean.
>> http://www.forum.convoytrucking.net/index.php/topic,45863.msg275891.html#msg275891

3. Real life stuff
You get the drill, no time and school/job.

4. It simply became boring
Admit it, after 4 years it's not what it has been. (even though I only played 2,5 years it still became boring now while it wasn't till some time ago).

Anyways I just spend time writing this while this topic will be locked in a short amount of time like all the others.

TL;DR

All sides need to stop to be entirely honest - with a clean slate too.

No "go to fucking hell", no "you tried" images, no posting modified pictures of Ethan disrespecting him, no accusations of being a "dictator". No being childish, if you want to speak your pseudo-English (pijon?) go into a CB. If you want to curse at your friends, go into a CB. No "staff are abusers" accusations if the complaint deemed it was not abuse.

Staff shouldn't embrace dictatorial images either, such as locking complaint about their own actions, setting their rank to "Dictator", making exceptions when they lose their shit and so on. These seriously don't help the situation.

No petty complaints when you didn't behave after you were asked to behave (the old ruleset really helped here since "Obey admin/mod orders - if you find they are not reasonable complain on forum"). It's ok to get an further elaboration as to why you were punished, but if you're undoubtedly in the wrong just don't bother.

Ethan fucked up, a lot of the time it was a misunderstanding (name change, edited proof?) but he did go too far with the "go to hell" thing, should have been told off about it. As sardarji said: if he's cool, he is good. The guy who edited a shoutbox message to contain insults about one's mother should be hit a lot harder too. I'll be honest, we all fuck up. Look at me when I first rage-resigned™ for example, "for those who I consider trolls, just go fuck yourself". We have limits, limits that wouldn't be broken if you did not push them. As for what happens when the limit is broken... you saw what happened. On the contrary, we are expected to act maturely and professional about our duties so if we do blow a valve, there should be a consequence.

You should listen to staff when we tell you to stop whatever you are doing. If we tell you to stop doing something it has to be backed up by a rule subject to staff interpretation, so when you get told to stop, take it as a pre-cursor and stop doing it. Pretty much 99.9% of the time we can back up our reasoning with reference to rules so just because the "obey admin/mod orders" rule is gone doesn't give you the ground to ignore us. If you keep doing it, it's your own problem later on in the line when you get warned/banned and we will use the fact you got told to stop with an assumption that you ignored it.

Anyway the bit that is most relevant to me (scripter): SA-MP as a platform is slowing down, so is CT, momentum decreases over time and there isn't much you can do about that. But, in my opinion, lag and downtime are really harming the server more than SA-MP's decline, so hopefully we will get a new host soon and if it still lags I'll optimize whatever I can. I can't promise updates but there are proposals floating around the scripter team. At the moment there's a standstill on scripting (including myself) - Dobby is following the "not scripting until server isn't lagging" rule which in my opinion is a stupid move since optimizations can be made to the gamemode (look at 2.7.3 update!) which can drastically help the lag problem. Matt is lost in the world of CS:GO, Mick is busy with university/work(?), and I'm lacking motivation to do anything since I really do fear it will be only me adding new features. While I could theoretically add new features by myself, the 2.8.x plan is a lot of work and it would probably take me about 2-3 months when factoring in time outside of CT. Sorry but it had to be said guys (scripters) - this isn't something I can do on my own and would appreciate if we all did a share of the work.

I don't see any reason why this topic should be locked either.

Sorry but it had to be said guys (scripters) - this isn't something I can do on my own and would appreciate if we all did a share of the work.

I don't see any reason why this topic should be locked either.
just look how every single paragraph is because of the same person =))))))

And for everyone who blames staff, you should blame yourself for not giving them the chance to change.
If you look at Dobby lot's of people called him a dictator, but did you even notice he is trying to change for you?
If you look at the time he became moderator and how he is now, then he should get an applouse. (you should give him good feedback so he keeps up the good work he is doing)

Sorry Dobby I took you as example, you know I love you :3

It's actually the truth what barney said. I've barerly seen a new player joining Convoy Trucking. But yeah what you expect from a server that is online for 1 hour and offline for 1 week.


And we both are wrong (staff & players). We both are doing lots of stuff wrong. We just wanna blame it on someone else

I love you sjomp :P you know it :D

As for me trying to change. Its true. I thought about it the other day after me and hobo had a conversation, i thought fuck it, let them have fun as long as they Dont break rules.
Since the dictator thing started i found it quite hilarious :) i'll be honest, it didnt bother me in the slightest. If i was that much of a dictator i'd be demoted now wouldnt i? Mick can demote people too. If he wanted me gone he'd of done it, so would Sandman, or Ethan, or Joshy.
Id have to check Xfire for my last ban, but i dont remember who it actually was (in game). My last forum ban was Vinny, over 60 days ago. If im that much of a dictator then why aren't you all banned yet? Why didnt i remove FatalFrames, Shakes Vinnys or Hobo's post (the "trolls").
I'm actually interested in the thread, and i do wanna change. Fair enough i've made a few mistakes, i admit to it.

Majority of us, "the trolls", have been banned from the shoutbox by you numerous times, usually for no reason at all.

I realize what the deal is. Why there is attacking of the staff. People are too stubborn to open their eyes and see that every single staff member is making an attempt at their job. For the most part they do good, but sometimes they don't. I still respect them all either way because they are the ones that deal with all this crap, they are the ones most dedicated. The trolls (no names) are the ones that got bored of the server a while back and are now trolling to try and make some fun for themselves, which brings me back to the fact that these people don't think of anything or anyone but themselves.

It's simple. You have your 2 parties, staff and everyone who is fine with this and extremists (people who are against rule or extremely for their beliefs). Silencing the people against CT's rule does nothing. It just brings up more uprising. Here at CT, we have freedom of speech and freedom to do what we will. For example, you can say that you don't like someone, and that's fine. If you go disrespecting that person that voids the freedom to speak because you have gone and broke a rule. If I go and say, "Obama is a stupid fucking pot smoker" and it gets out and about, then I might have some very special over-payed people at my door. The same thing applies here. What bothers me the most is the random attacking of any staff. Any small screw up results in "Oh he screwed up," and it turns into a huge shitstorm. Tell me one thing and one thing only. What did any member of the staff ever do to you. I can tell you. Just from observation. NOTHING AT ALL!

Who said we were targetting all the staff ? PLEASE stop talking shit while you know who the problem is. I currently have problems with 2 staff members, otherwise i dont care about the others since they are neutral with me, contrarely to these 2.

Keep defending Ethan and his idiotic actions, i just don't know what could you possibly gain from that.

And this is something many people around here need to understand. We don't have a problem with the staff team in general. We have problems with certain staff members, who also seem to have some problems with us. They aren't even trying to make it subtle (Ethan).

Alright look, topics like this have been created multiple times in the past and usually lead no where. We can't just fix the community, it has to fix itself. The game is old. The server is old. There are other games and other things in life to do. It's hard to keep doing the same thing day in and day out. People move on, the community breaks down, shit happens.

Convoy Trucking will never be what it was when it first started. It won't be what it was two years ago. It won't be what it was last year. It simply can't. You can change the gamemode all you want. You could roll it back to the gamemode of 2010 but that won't change the game and it won't change the community.

Most, if not all the players who played everyday, and made the server alive, have Grown up gotten jobs, or a life and moved on.

You cant have both ''sides'' on the same page. there has to be an opposition.
An opposition makes you stronger and , if you do right, you shouldnt ever have to worry about issues/arguments/trouble etc.


every now and then , staff or certain ''trolls'' will get ''attacked'', the important part is, they IF they are willing, they should learn from it. If not, they are here with the wrong intentions. So yes Ethan made mistakes, but aslong if he doesnt make them over and over again, who are we to attack him over and over again, where everyone makes mistakes. Letting go, and accepting things how they are is the best way that this community can do. Leading by example and learning from your mistakes.


Aslong as is there is one side with  ''power'' and the other side has no power, you will have arguements and problems. the only thing you can do  is to go on, and learn from it. And above all, stop living in the past. What happened, has happened.

Dont worry Spekter,she just want to be a moderator.She cant say the truth otherwise she would be on the target list.This is the way how people become moderators these days...Kissing asses.Real life works the same way,you have to kiss your boss's ass
this is why i respect this guy  :like: :like:

just give up. nothing will change. ever. CT won't be like it was before. and making these topics sure won't help, so the only reason i can see that you made this topic is to asslick.

Never give up. Never quit.

Alright look, topics like this have been created multiple times in the past and usually lead no where. We can't just fix the community, it has to fix itself. The game is old. The server is old. There are other games and other things in life to do. It's hard to keep doing the same thing day in and day out. People move on, the community breaks down, shit happens.

Convoy Trucking will never be what it was when it first started. It won't be what it was two years ago. It won't be what it was last year. It simply can't. You can change the gamemode all you want. You could roll it back to the gamemode of 2010 but that won't change the game and it won't change the community.

Edit: was doing something else while writing this and made an error. Fixed.


Maybe the server its getting bored for you, there are generation of players, players come here and play maybe 2 months, 6 months, 1, 2 or 3 years and later they leave the server, then new players come here and the cycle begins again, now, the problem is since last year the server started having problems with host, IP changes, days and weeks offline, then new players left the server because they thinks the server is unstable all the time even the old ones came out the server because they hated the situation of the server.

Who remember how hard it was to get in the server when it was 95/100?

Wow. One year ago I would have never believed the server to be in this state. I completely agree, something must be done. But nothing can be done if we don't all work together, set aside our differences, and learn to let some things go. There is no reason to get involved in other players' disputes. What the server really needs is a stricter discipline policy so players will not troll anymore, and more online, active admins (Like Lil_Shakey) who will keep the server interesting.

I love Convoy Trucking, always have, and always will. I have no plans to ever quit CT. I just hope we can keep it alive for some more time. I'm on board with trying to bring the community back. Now who's with me?  :D

Hahaha, I do. I would stay home from school, sick, and spend 10-15 minutes trying to get a spot on CT!! Those were the days, man. If only we could get it back that way!

Also let's see an example of no fun? I go on everyday, and everyday I find something new and fun to do. It may be derping around with friends, talking to people, driving like an idiot, or just simply doing a mission. There is plenty of fun. If you don't find it then you probably are a little slow. (Sorry TS for the retard reference) CT just has no more players who have faith in it anymore.

Okay first of all i dont give a flying shit if you warn me

Second thing is you just showed to the whole community the example of very strict policy aka dictatorship

Show me a proof where did i call him retarded?I did not do it yet you warned me thats abusing powers.Also have you seen that question mark?Explain me how can someone call others retarded in a question?How is that possible?

And you wonder why people call staff members as dictators.You are pathetic

Oh and your little asskisser basically called me a retarded yet she did not get warned.Maybe because she is your asskisser?Yeah we have fair punishment system LOL

Not everyone is too ignorant to care. In fact, I think a lot of players are on board with making changes to CT. In my opinion, one of the biggest things that drove people away from CT was when we went from 100 slots to 50. I could never get on the server when it was 50 slots, and I think a lot of players stopped coming back when they couldn't log on. Now we are left with just a fraction of the community we used to have. We must rebuild!

tell us how if most of the old players have a life and a job now, and they don't care anymore about CT/samp/gta, and we don't have anything new to show to new players and to bring them in and stay? specially with the shitty host we had/have

Opening it again... There is really no sence of your warning Sandman, if someone says to other "are you idiot??" dont mean same as: Hey! You are idiot!. Dont know about your country where you live, but in most of world, this: ? gives discretion to it´s reader.. So if you want to understand that someone is calling you idiot.. Its your problem, but when there is question mark behind sentence, you DO NOT with malice aforethought insult anyone.

Ok.. I can agree with you but I won't..
Go to any teacher of your school and ask him/her .. "Are you fucking retarded?" and see what he say.
Or if you are older go to your boss and ask him the same question,then come back and reply here!
