Hi,

Your first sentence pretty much shut this down for me. It's one of my lines unfortunately, I don't deal well with people telling me what I was thinking or meant by what I wrote or said. I was sincere when I said I wanted to talk with you about getting this all sorted out, I'm sorry that this will not be possible.

I am basically writing this response to inform you that I will not be taking an appeal to the cabinet of The Last Outpost, nor am I willing to continue our discussion further as you have demonstrated to me that you are not willing to engage in a civil discussion with anyone related to TLO or RPG-X.

I do want to take this opportunity to quickly let anyone else reading this know, if you do have any issues relating to TLO, my door is always open, either here or via my contact methods above.

Thank you for contacting the Last Outpost.

//Part two (spam protection...*sits and waits a minute*)

This leads me to believe that The Last Outpost is a very questionable group of people who are clearly willing to turn a blind eye when and especially when it suits them in order to make certain people silent.

I can promise you this isn't the case with me, if there is a genuine reason to ban/silence someone, then I will, but if it's just because I don't like their criticism or something similar, then they will be permitted to continue, a project needs constructive criticism.

I dare you to respond and deal with this in a mature fashion and that also includes lifting my ban, since it was given for the wrong reasons . . .

I feel I have fulfilled your dare?

In regards to your ban, while I have the administrative powers to lift it, I don't have the authority. I doubt I would get away with requesting your ban be revoked just so I can continue chatting with you here.

If having your TLO ban lifted is something you want, then I can promise you I will propose it and fight for it, but not until I've had a chance to get to know you myself, because up until now, the only information on yourself I have received is from the TLO records and from members who were around back then. I would like to get to know you myself and make my own decisions on who you are as a person.

I also can't even promise that if I were to take the proposal to revoke your ban to the cabinet that it would get through, I can promise that after getting to know you, if I feel it appropriate, I will try.

I look forward to a hopeful future discussion,

Callum

Hi Migdog,

I only offered the email option as there's more I can say in private, but I'm more than happy to continue it here. I could rant at you 'about how bad Apprentice is', but I will not for two reasons, I was not around at TLO back when Apprentice was a member and so only have the TLO records to go by and two I just wouldn't.

It's a real "privilege" that the public can play RPG-X

This might be an unpopular response, but in away he's right, we don't have to pay him for it, they didn't have to make it etc. But I still hope the comment made was a joke.

I've made some things in the past that have not been used at all, if I could say I'd made something like RPG-X I can assure you I would be the using the world 'privilege', but along side the words 'is mine'.

I am actually glad Apprentice has replied to this (annoyed I didn't get a notification shakes fist at computer screen), I have never had the opportunity to talk to him.

Which leads me on to...

Hi Apprentice,

my apologise for not responding sooner, I didn't get a notification, only got one when Migdog replied.

This is a lie! The Last Outpost has a 100% tolerance policy regarding bullying, even to the extent that non-TLO members get banned when they try to defend themselves against it while the bullies themselves are allowed to do everything.

Allow me to rephrase my earlier response. In my opinion from what I have seen since taking on the role of technical head roughly ~2 years ago and from my own core values, I would like to think we have a 0 tolerance policy. For while I am a member of the TLO cabinet, this is something I will always try and enforce as much as my power permits me.

In essence, staffmembers of TLO have a carte-blanche in order to do as they please and no-one is willing to hear you out.

From my experience we don't. We do have a lot of banter with each other and our members and I fully appreciate there is a fine line between friendly banter and bullying, but from my experience if we (or any members) have overstepped that line the guilty party is dealt with appropriately.

To also address that last part of your sentence there, I am willing to hear you out, as much as I would prefer to hear your side of the story (as I have only the TLO records to go by thus far) in private (my email is above or if you can PM on here you can) if you would prefer to keep it here, then that is fine also.

Yes, this is your "Head of Media & Marketing". Need I to say more?

You do not, thank you for providing me with those. It will be brought to the attention of the TLO President today!

Instead of maturely agreeing with the notion that abusing one's administrative powers in order to make a 'joke' and making illegally content available that has been removed (amongst others), TLO member Veritas decided to file a complaint against me for "pushing my opinion".

If the joke was making content available that shouldn't have been, then that is wrong.

To voice my own opinion for a moment, reading through some of the links you provided (https://www.moddb.com/mods/rpg-x/page/2#comments) I can see why you may have gotten some of the responses you did, as a developer myself (not of RPG-X or any content for RPG-X) I can understand the kind of responses like 'it's done when it's done', I can also understand the wanting of a better response *looks in SMF's direction*.

However, there are some responses that I can agree where totally unnecessary and could be viewed as bullying. (I say could be not to try and suggest it wasn't or was, I strongly feel bullying isn't always a case of this is and this isn't, it's all about the individual receiving the comments and how they perceive it).

//Turns out there's a 5k character limit here...., this is part one of a two part response

My apologise for not seeing this, I do not frequent this page (I probably should start to)

Just a note to anyone else reading this, support request are better sent on our forums or Discord as I check there at least daily if not more.

The Voyager map is likely Voy4 that you were after, some maps do not show in the list and you must enter a command to load it locally.

For the Voyager map if you open the in-game console with the key located under escape and to the left of the one key (easier to describe when not knowing your keyboard layout) type the following (without the quotation marks) '/map rpg_voy4'.

As for the DS9 map, don't think I've ever seen a DS9 map within RPG-X myself, so I'm afraid I cannot help there, sorry.

Callum.

Hi,

My names Callum I'm TLO's head of Technical and member of the cabinet. This comment only recently came to my attention as I do not frequent this page (or site for that matter).

I just wanted to try and address some of your comments.

1) To my knowledge RPG-X under TLO is still under development, being head of Technical I should know for sure, sadly as I do not know the language the game is coded in I've not been a big part of the development, I will reach out to those working on the dev and see if they can come and post a progress update on whatever they are working on.

2) It is true that new custom content is few are far between, but we still do have mappers out there making new maps, Klaw's Daedalus map for example.

3) Last I checked we had permission to host/repackage all maps that are included in Ultimate Edition (hence why some maps out there are not included), however I'm not sure why it's not available here, I will bring this up at our next cabinet meeting and try and have that resolved.

4) Can't comment on this, not seen or heard of these comments. (I'm not disputing whether they exist, genuinely haven't seen them)

5) This point troubles me greatly, as a member of TLO's staff I would like to think we have a 0 tolerance policy regarding bullying, I would really appreciate it if you would be willing to contact me privately regarding this so I can bring this to the attention of our President and Internal Affairs. You can email me on technical[at]last-outpost[dot]net or callum603[at]last-outpost[dot]net or if you'd prefer a chat with me instead of email you can find me on most services under my screen name of callum603.

If any of our members or staff have been acting inappropriately to non members or even our own members I for one would like to know and I'm sure our President and IA would also like to know so that swift action can be taken.

I really do hope that you would be willing to talk to me so we can hopefully resolve these issues.

If someone has or is being bullied within TLO or outside of TLO by any of our staff or members, you can also reach out to me on the above addresses.
