Yo hello? I wanted to inform you that you're a dumb fucking retard and even though I've been trying to stay off this post I can't because I see braindead kids like you acting like you know what's good for the server. Fuck out of here kiddo.

You are right I don’t know anything about running a business.  I will take notes from you though.  Let’s see..

1.  promise investors new product and continuously fail to provide it.  Then, after this tell the investors that decide to ask about said product they need to wait over and over again, and complain about how the employees who develop this don’t get paid.  Fail to take ownership of the businesses failure to produce, but gladly continue to accept more investments with more promises.

 

2.  When somebody hacks your business make sure you blame the customers of your business, because it does so much good to do that!  Try to push as much accountability of negative things back on to your customers, and tell anybody who disagrees with your businesses operating procedures that they are a meme.  

 

Can you continue the list for me please @rapidaax?

 

what Olympus needs is a purge of useless people from their staff, starting with Rapidaxx, commonly known to being NOTHING useful to a discussion.

Why didn’t higher staff post this? Imagine passing the buck on this.

We are a hive mind :-)... We made a determination definitively this morning that rollback is necessary.. So i took the initiative to let the community know as soon as possible to avoid waiting until a Sr. Admin+ could post it.

Once again, donation goals are not for finished products its to put something on the dev queue. So if you donate for a certain feature in a donation goal, its added to the dev queue as devs need to develop, test, etc. it. Often takes many trial and errors and sometimes can take longer then anticipated. We should be more transparent sometimes with statuses though.

2.  When somebody hacks your business make sure you blame the customers of your business, because it does so much good to do that!  Try to push as much accountability of negative things back on to your customers, and tell anybody who disagrees with your businesses operating procedures that they are a meme.  

If a criminal hands you a bag of guns on the street and you don't report it to the police, you instead sell them, give them to your friends, are the cops going to let you off because it wasn't your gun? Or are they going to say you should've known better and clap your cheeks?

Place a compensation request, if its legit, you may keep it maybe. If not, then you will just be rolled back no comp.

They didn’t blame players for getting the server hacked. They blamed them for having to do a roleback

[Noodles:D 765]

So when's the rollback happening? I'm trying to play but I dont wanna waste my time.

Adding things to the list is fine, so long as things are getting crossed out.  Continuously failing to provide anything but take more $$ and make more promises is the issue.  Olympus is becoming a Arma III content pyramid scheme at this point.  Stop adding things to a list you can’t keep up with, it is very deceiving to people who are paying Olympus’ bills.

Nobody accepted a bag of guns willingly.  You are upset at the people who spent them, but Olympus is more comparable to the criminal who handed the guns to everyone than the hero who comes and takes them away.  You knew what was going to happen when you didn’t take immediate action on the $$ and warpoints put into the economy.  You knew people were going to spend it, yet you leave the servers up.  You took action to ban people for spending it, yet you left it in the economy.  You fell right into the trap of this hacker and punished people who had NO control over getting the “bag of guns” handed to them in the first place.  Again, the issue is between Olympus’ lack of procedure when shit goes down and a 14 year old dickhead.  Stop trying to push the focus onto the collateral damage and take ownership of the issue that wasn’t dealt with fast enough, causing chaos.

Excuses excuses is all I ever hear from staff. How hard is it to deal with one hacker. We PAID OUR MONEY for something and it is not getting delivered. Its simple business people, you pay for something somewhere you should receive a product in this case an update.  

Blame @Ares for being an uninvolved owner or your civ reps who promise unreasonable goals with no developer input.

 

 

We have a few freelancers and a professional dev working on staff, they're unpaid and have to optimize the game, deal with hackers and database issues and put out updates simultaneously and for literally tons of work they receive zero IRL compensation unlike the devs on servers like Asylum.

 

 

This mindset that devs owe donors the rewards they didn't promise is toxic asf and makes our turnover and burnout rate astronomical, just last night I spent 3 hours talking to a dev who's already considering leaving this server due to how much toxicity comes from OS and the community and giant goals on a time crunch. If you want to blame someone blame senior civ council and senior OS, but until we start paying them and offering a competitive rate leave them out of the drama.

The devs just vote yes to add it or not. So, has nothing to do with us lying, we just come up with the ideas you want us to add or not. And they arent unreasonable goals. but I cant guarentee anything, I havent attended a meeting in a month cause work.
