Ok, I have a few serious issues about tonight.
I realise there is a lot to do, and many different things to focus on. But don't say you need as many people as possible, when you do a scene that involved 7 or 8 people, and takes nearly an hour to do.
I usually dont care because people just fuck around anyway and piss me off. But tonight there were like 7 or 8 new people, that were really cool and when they weren't needed, they just stood with me in the cottage in shongua, and did nothing (Whilst a mass of tking was going on in the road.)
So, we've found a bunch of new sensible people, great. But they were massively under-used, and left doing nothing for too long a time. And I quote from my squad.
"Why are they all pissing around, I'm just going to stand here and not waste the directors time"
These are the guys :
Then, to REALLY fucking top it off, doper, who is on the USMC and can see nothing that is going on, sees 2 TK's belonging to captainblack. (in the log)
Dope kicks him. Captainblack was doing nothing wrong and I asked specifically that he did not get kicked, because it was spider that was causing the tk's.
Dope decides to ignore me. And this isn't the first time he's done something similar, I then ask him to kick spider, and he does nothing (I don't blame you Gary, you were busy).
So, I'll turn up again, but if this happens again, that's it for me and i'm finished with filming. If scenes are going to be shot that only require half the people on the server, don't ask so many people to turn up. Not only is it boring and a waste of time for them, but it also causes mass tk'ing and forces people to leave.
We need more server admins, or less people on the server. There can not be both, it's unrealistic to wish for things to go nice and smoothly with this current scenario. Doperwt really needs to keep his cool, and not make stupid decisions, as he always seems to do.
There also needs to be better communication between everyone. OCS was a disaster, it took too long for a scene that takes 30 seconds, yet its nothing to do with the actors, but the fact that dope and Gary are telling usmc and mec to do different scenes.
Oh and spider, seriously, if you're that bored just leave, no one would blame you. But don't stay and piss people off, and then say how WE are wasting your time.
(This is no way directed at you Gary, you have too much on your plate as it is, but just a general rant)
