Hey, I rarely post and stuff. But I had to post about this because, this is my opinion on oldcp and at it's state right now. It's not looking too good, yes more users but the environment. It's just chaos, and constant fighting everyday. Now before there was fighting on oldcp, and yes of course there was drama before also. Oldcp was made to be a game for fun and sit around and talk to friends with a little bit of a twist. Also fighting is a part of the game as well, but this game today has faded away from sitting around making friends and moderating. This game has turnt into a total war zone. There're literally fights going on every time I log on, people have a lot of speed and OP hp, and then there's always somebody dying and blaming it on the admins. There's also been a lot of arguing, which is normal for this game. But it just seems that arguing has turnt into bullying in a way. This isn't an Anti-bully post by any means. But I'm just saying Oldcp has became a more toxic place than it was in the past.

If I were to log on oldcp right now, providence would be popular and there'd be people fighting, shooting lightning, arguing, bow spamming, people dying, etc. Or maybe it even happens in jail, this game has turnt into a little bit like iOldcp before Brit was warden and this is what a lot of people complained about. The constant fighting, the CZ 24/7. I mean this is what people didn't want and that's kind of taken a turn on Oldcp. I can't even sit down without getting hit by somebody's lightning, or somebody can't get their job done without getting attacked while they're in the middle of doing something. It's just chaos that needs to be stopped, some way. It's not oldcp anymore, it's a warzone and I have my facts to back that up. Honestly, fightings a fun part of a game. But when it's 24/7 and people are dying. And people are taking it very seriously and getting really mad when they die. It's a whole other thing, I don't like logging on to see fighting all the time it just get's too repetitive. I won't sit here saying that I miss the old days or anything, but I definitely do miss when there wasn't a "war" or "fight" every single time I log on. It's just chaos and I don't like it. You guys don't have to agree with my feedback, but it's just my opinion on the state of the game right now. And right now it's been a war zone. It's just kind of annoying coming online to see this all the time but what ever happens, happens. I just don't like the constant fighting and battling every time I log on. Anyways thanks for listening, and Merry Christmas. Have a good one -randy

Hey, there's been a lot of commotion and drama about iOldcp's abuse. In particular Alatar, now I definitely don't think Alatar's the only one abusing. I gave myself an Ice sword, a gun, a bow, a saber, etc... Abuse by me I am confessing my own abuse of commands here. Also Nate was wrong to demote Ariana without any evidence of her being with Flame to kill or something, and was wrong to demote Brit after the Flame incident. Now my personal opinion on Alatar, he is not the only one who abuses. But me personally I don't think he's ready for a rank like admin since he is impulsive with the decisions he makes. He just acts on what his mind tells him to do. No hate on Alatar, I think he is doing his best to give everyone a chance. But there're boundaries and limits to that. I also think it's not fair to blame the chaos of the game all on one person. Everybody plays a role in this game, and we're all a community. It's not all on one person to decide whether the game is chaotic, and going down hill. No, it is us who is making it that way.

Guns, bows, swords, and sabers: Now I do agree with what Nate did here, by banning bows, sabers, and guns. But that does not mean yet again, there isn't limits. I personally think, admins shouldn't have an OP 2 hit sword. (The ice sword) because that's unbalanced and unfair to everyone else, because everyone else has been using Iron sword, Pirate sabre, or a standard sword. So I have spoke with the Admin team about that, all Ice swords should be removed from admins. As it is not fair to the people who have to use an Iron sword or normal sword. You get the point here. What should happen with bows is there should be limits, the highest bow you can get up to is a Silver Bow, the damage can't be higher than the Ebony bow or the Golden bow. (2 of the strongest bows in that game). Guns, shouldn't be allowed to anybody but only for execution, and that should only go to somebody that is very trust worthy and knows how to not misuse it. Sabers, were already removed from the game which is a good step heading in the right direction. So my conclusion here, a limit on bows. A balance between swords (talking about Admins having the Ice sword), and a gun should only be given to the RE (Royal Executioner), and only use it for execution purposes. Xprops like lightning, fire, etc. Should not be allowed.

Overall: Guys, iOldcp is supposed to be fun. Not some chaotic game that puts each other down for one mistake. We can't blame the down fall of this game on one person, we're all a community and we're all people. We need to get along. People make mistakes, it happens. But that doesn't define who the person actually is. Alatar, like I mentioned earlier. I just don't think he's ready for a rank like admin YET. But that does not mean, I dislike him and think he's doing a bad job. He is trying to have fun, but there're obviously limits to that. We all need to just calm down and look at the game from a different perspective. There shouldn't be post about demoting one person, maybe a report but to have the whole community against one person? That's just not fair. I do agree with some, but it could've been done in a more professional manner. You know, now the Flame situation. Don't bring down Nate and start yelling shame that just isn't right. We can work stuff out in a fun way, it doesn't have to be who's better, or who's the best. We can all be equal and make this game better than what it was before. We just have to be willing to do it. I know you all have good hearts, on the inside. But don't let emotion ruin your fun, the Administrator team is doing the best they can to make this game better than it was before. Me, Jesse, Alatar, Brit, and SG. Are doing the best we can, and are listening to you guys. It's only been 4 days since the game was up, hasn't even been a week yet. Come on, we can make this game a much better place. We just have to do it. Thank you for listening to my opinion, have a great day. -Randy

Hey, hope you are well. It's almost been a month since I left, so I just thought I'd just do an update on me. Some are sad that I left, and some are happy that I left. But either way, that doesn't apply to my reasoning.

I mainly left because there was a lot going on in my life behind the scenes, although I did seem like a happy guy. On the inside I was the complete opposite. There would be times where I feel like, I could basically do anything and nobody could stop my rhythm. And I would go like 4 days without any sleep because I had so much energy, then there were times where it was the complete opposite. Feeling like I couldn't do anything, and feeling you know worthless. I had a lot of deep thoughts that I won't share on here, and I did do a good job of keeping my emotions off the internet. But my close friends knew there was something up with me, and I just didn't feel like there was anything wrong. I just didn't take care of myself enough to realize that my health was going in a negative path.

So there's a lot of personal problems that triggered that, I felt like I had to keep a certain image in life in order to feel that I'm being successful. And that put a lot of pressure on me, especially at school because a lot of the people there know me for socializing and helping out. It was a good reputation for me to keep until, I felt like I wasn't being myself anymore and being someone who I wasn't. But a lot of people say I'm overall a genuine person. But then, there was also a side of family problems that I won't share on here because privacy purposes. But that definitely has changed my mood over time, and would spiral me into more episodes. Life got worse from there and it's honestly sad to see everything happen so fast. It just started to feel like the walls were closing up on me so fast, and that was not the best feeling.

Lastly, there were problems on here. I didn't really get into a lot of arguments on here or really any, but to see drama and arguments everyday just wasn't healthy for me. And it made me mad because, I just felt like we all needed to get along and respect each other's differences. But I guess the world isn't like that. I'm not putting the blame on the community for my health issues by any means, but the stuff that happened in it just wasn't good for me. Which would lead to me taking a break, and along with the other reasons that I had mentioned. To be honest, I really enjoyed being in the community and there were times where I felt like it was a nice place to be in. But every community has their flaws, and it just wasn't good for me at the time.

You might be wondering how I've been after leaving, or maybe you aren't but I'm gonna explain anyways. I've been alright, I've gotten better with my emotions and personal problems. But sometimes the amount of pressure on me is super overwhelming, but I'm still working on that. I have gotten some help, and I've really been playing Xbox recently too since I enjoy to play games. There still times where I'd be in another episode, and just saying random stuff that doesn't make any sense. But I really feel like that I'm getting better or at times I feel like nothing's helping me. It takes time to heal as always though. What I want to say to you guys is, just always be yourself or you're going to end up in a position where you aren't happy with yourself anymore and there's going to be a lot of pressure on you that's overwhelming. Also, respect everyone and just be good human beings. Your words hold weight, you're never going to know when with what you say to a person is going to make their day, ruin their day, or maybe it just doesn't do anything. But you get the point, just stay positive and be nice to everyone and you will be a good person. Overall, I hope you guys are well and are doing great in your life. I'll probably visit again during my Bday (Oct 31st).

Anyways, hope you guys have been good and are living your lives to the best of your abilities. Have a good day. -Randy
