I’ve noticed a pattern not just recently but even back into the times I was still an admin here. I’ve never played on fulp personally but I have read their rules, talked and coordinated with some of their staff and something just keeps happening.
Every time someone says fulp is cringe, they out themselves as being a fairly shit player for Bee.
The only differences between the two servers I can see at a glance:
Bee has even stricter and more detailed roleplaying standards
The only reason I dislike Fulp is that most of the staff are consistently pretty shit and give you trouble over the tamest IC things, or don’t punish people for being an asshole unfairly.
Surprisingly, I played fulp for two or so months before swapping to Bee without getting in trouble once. Every time I hear more bad encounters with their staff I still get surprised by that fact.
I’ve got a friend who used to be a fulpmin that says pretty much the same thing. He stepped down because he didn’t like the direction it was going and won’t touch that server anymore.
All of the negative experience reads identically to the negative things people say about Bee. Likewise the people who tell me they like fulp find an unusually strict set of RP restrictions for a public server.
There is an ex-Beemin who felt the exact same in reverse.
I don’t believe the two servers are very different, and (provided it isn’t seen as advertisement) welcome the perspective from folks who have actually played both.
Hopefully saying this is okay, but I actually like Fulp, sure they bwoinked me for being a mime named “Sensual Moff” and they seemed to think “sensual” was sexual in nature, but it seems like p chill in my experience?
I hate fulp because it’s funny.
Literally never played and don’t plan on it.
Probably this is beneficial in the long term for fulp because players who decide to stick with cringe server, will be more involved.
I’ve played Fulp abit, mostly because it’s a Server with close ties to Newgrounds*, they have named themselves after the man the myth the internet legend Tom Fulp, so I felt obligated to.
I’ve wandered about space, I’ve played half a mime round** and about 7 rounds as assistant and one or two as Bartender.
What I can say is this, I’ve not had an encounter with the Admin team there, so I’ve got no experience there.
what I can say is that the code base is a shake up going from Bee to there, but I eventually learned the basics.
Mining, both public and departmental is AWESOME, which I guess is a result of current T.G. mining being awesome with all the new critters. (Port some mobs?)
and Medical relying on Sutures and the medical system that introduced them rather than brute packs and ointment and having a cagey med-bay.
SEC on the other hand seems more cut and dry about how they handle things, a-bit more prone to violence even while the Disabler isn’t nerfed there, afew more doughnut cops too.***
(* guess how much I love Newgrounds)
(** shit got wack and I broke vow of Silence)
(*** Needs some Good ol’ SEC reform)
