Faction Update — October - November 2023
Dear Members,It has been some time since my last formal communication, with my last update in September. Two months have transpired since then, and I believe it is my duty to keep everyone informed of recent developments.
Throughout the month of October, I was in the process of relocating to a new residence, which resulted in extremely limited access to my PC and anything related to our faction. I sincerely apologize for not providing advance notice regarding my potential absence. I understand that there were concerns about the activity of our faction's leadership during this time, but please know that I was always reachable, and the leadership's commitment was unwavering.
I would like to express my immense gratitude to Canyon Drummond for stepping up to the plate in my absence. He has put in significant effort and ensured the smooth operation of our faction, and I am deeply appreciative of his contributions.
Over the past two months, there have been concerns about the player base of our server, and I acknowledge everyone's right to have such concerns. While our player base may not be exceptionally large at the moment, I firmly believe that the ongoing efforts of the LS-RP development team will lead to an increase in our numbers in the near future.
In these challenging times, it is essential that we persevere and maintain a dedicated mindset. By consistently providing role-play and fostering an environment for others to follow suit, we have demonstrated our unwavering commitment to the LS-RP community. I take immense pride in the dedication and role-play we have continued to offer over the past two months.
I am delighted to announce the return of Undersheriff Roderick Hayward, a familiar face who played a pivotal role in our faction's development and subsequent launch. He is now fully committed to supporting the operation of our faction, and I kindly ask you to extend a warm welcome to him.
You may have noticed that the LSGOV Bot is no longer operational. We are transitioning back to a manual process for handling ranks and roles, both from the forum to Discord. This is a temporary measure until I can restore a fully functioning bot for our faction. It may take some time, but I will keep you updated on our progress.
I am aware that there is a strong desire for the return of the sheriff formatter. While I initially agreed to its revival, due to the challenges of moving house, I couldn't commit to getting it up and running. Now that I am settled in my new place, I will work on reinstating it, and I will keep everyone informed of the progress.
Some of you may have noticed the temporary closure of the West Vinewood Station. We had to take this step due to a shortage of manpower and leadership to keep two stations operational. As soon as we have the necessary resources and leadership in place, we will announce the reopening and initiate recruitment.
These are all the updates I have to share at the moment. I want to take this opportunity to apologize for not being as present as I usually am, but I am now fully committed and look forward to more active participation.
I will be reopening the feedback form to gather your input and to assess any changes from your perspective since the last time we ran it. It is crucial that we provide an open platform for everyone to voice their concerns without fear of repercussions, as we value constructive criticism.
Once again, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your continued interest and dedication to our faction. Your contributions in the game are what keeps us going. Keep up the excellent work!
Warm regards,
Sheriff Kenneth Larosa
