Howdy. Most of y’all know me already if you were on Bee before 2020 was a thing.
If not; I was an admin on Bee throughout the second half of 2019, becoming a headmin during the last 3 months of the year, before retiring on January 2020. Or December 2019, forgot by now. Was Ssethtide too. Was here before MRP was all but a small lil’ idea admins and players had. And even then, when MRP released, it wasn’t unusual to only have 10 players on MRP and the rest of the pop on LRP.
This post is just some 20 year old jannie venting off and complaining about how his favorite non-paid janitorial job now looks like bathrooms at a gas station, shit splattered all over the walls and some dickhead not knowing how to aim their piss into the urinal, trying to be objective about most shit, so don’t expect me to go after admins and the Glorious Bee Republic or shit on the Bee outcasts.
If anything, I’ll go after the two of you equally. You twats.
TL;DR at the end, probably.
Bee wasn’t always like this. The most drama we’d have would usually be in the form of “Oh boy, Grogovic made a new admin report!”, and see how he’d get pissed at an admin for not sending a Code Red ERT at roundstart to deal with the sudden 100-to-10 mob of angry revs reaping chaos across the station. I think he’d love MRP Bee now.
And fun fact, Council wasn’t a thing. Or well, it was, but more like, Council and Seniormins. Councilmins. Basically bigger, badder admins but still at the mercy of the headmins. Most funny faces are still here, although they changed. @Zanos , @GreenTea98 and @AsciiSquid are some names that come to mind, or at least names that left Bee for some time. Some tried to make a “spite” server, which failed and had some funny people involved in it and how it was all totally a plot to actually take the shitters away from Bee as if this was some weird fucking heist movie with double and triple crossing.
Then something changed.
Dunno if it was Council being technically deleted and then reborn in a different shade of importance, or if it was announcing the MRP server on Reddit and bringing in a… rather peculiar type of player, from /tg/ rejects to other shades of funny yet uncomfortable peeps. MRP became the focus of Bee, LRP started to fade away.
Admins started to get on MRP a lot more often than LRP.
Players would prefer MRP over LRP, up to the point where a pop limit was placed on MRP in order to prevent Assistants from overpowering any department 50 to 1.
Slur filter happened, NSFW library burned to the ground happened, “no admins under 18” hypocrisy happened (and is still happening) , and a lot of rather weird choices and moves have keep on coming.
Rules either being way too broad or not clear enough up to the point where it looks like you getting noted or banned depends on the admin and other funny controversies that nowadays are probably outdated, but it sits here like those nasty websites on your Chrome history.
Even the very own head coder admitting on sidelining LRP and not caring as much about it.
But that’s on the jannies’ side, some players ain’t innocent either.
Players harassing admins and hosts?
Spites servers?
Attempting to dox them over a fucking 2D spess men game?
Like, holy shit, I’m actually having a hard time not to fuckin’ write a 7000 word essay on how both sides are extremely hypocritical and just diggin’ a deeper hole whenever they try to own the other side. From the pseudo censorship from the server’s side to y’all actually trying to dox someone.
And this is fucking depressing to see.
At least to me. I cared about Bee.
To the players who aren’t happy with Bee and want a change;
Are you actually doing all of this for a change, or you like to watch drama unfold?
I love drama as much as the next guy, but are you actually thinking that harassment is gonna get a positive answer?
That evading bans and shit is gonna fix shit?
To the admins and staff of Bee;
Do you actually care and want to change stuff on LRP, or would you rather pull the plug on it and do a MRP2?
Do you think that adding more rules regarding slurs and removing NSFW books is gonna fix the fact that rarely any admins are on LRP or that a chunk of your playerbase is engaging on gaslighting players and staff for fun?
This is my own opinion, views and thoughts.
If you got offended or called out by any of this, or you feel like i’m directly pointing at you with something that I typed out, then… good, I guess? I heard both sides and just wanted the best for both players and admemes.
I’m probably somewhat biased in favor of LRP and their players but I can’t just agree with the shit some people pull.
Same goes for jannies and some stuff I (and you as a jannie) know that has happened. Jannies aren’t immune to rules.
By now just, either pull an Oracle and pull the plug
or actually stick to the meme of Great Bee Republic and keep going how you’re going.
MRP playerbase rarely complains compared to LRP, so it’s unironically easy to see that killing off LRP and making Bee MRP only would be the best case scenario for this shit to end. Unironically. Though it’s the fastest solution, perhaps not the best.
I’m done for now. TGMC got me enganged, I fuck around on Hippie, and when I get tired of it, I’ll probably leave SS13 for a while. Just dumping my thoughts one last time before I eventually forget about it.
Oh and uh, @Crossedfall take away my Council role. Please and thanks.
I’m still feeling like this post is a bad idea but, whatever.
tl;dr Me is done with Bee for now, admins and players are both poopoo heads equally responsible for the state of the server as a whole and the drama, I did a small nostalgia trip that you can try and read or just plain out ignore. Either pull the plug from LRP/Bee as a whole and start from 0 as a MRP only, or stick to the authoritarian Bee memes since MRP players are not the ones responsible for 90% of the posts regarding Bee’s current state.
Yours truly,
the furry latinamerican headmin.
