FFCA Archive & Memorial

9/23/2010- the concept of FFCA was conceived: http://forum.nexon.net/CombatArms/forums/thread/5802784.aspx


9/26/2010- Slayer of 1 created the website of FFCA you are looking at right now and a Kilo vs. Delta server poll for which one should stay in Combat Arms: http://forum.nexon.net/CombatArms/forums/thread/5835598.aspx


9/28/2010- the very first OFFICIAL issue FFCA helped resolve was: Kilo/Delta server poll.



9/28/2010~(yet to be)Undetermined time- Nexon forum community was very critical(in a bad way) of FFCA. Most believe FFCA consists of the following: Elitists, people forcing their opinions down their throat, "followers" of Hazarath, authoritarian game balance enforcers(influenced by Hazarath as well), a QQ movement/group. Most of these criticisms came after Hazarath was banned from the Nexon forums due to him raging over Abella's trolling, and thus, giving FFCA somewhat of a negative reputation to start out with. Proof of community's doubt that FFCA truly exists to serve them, but rather, themselves(this was REALLY what they thought of the FFCA): http://forum.nexon.net/CombatArms/forums/thread/5992884.aspx


10/10/2010- Hazarath authorized mrfarhan, a citizen, to post a thread on FFCA(Game balance related): http://forum.nexon.net/CombatArms/forums/13/5921154/ShowThread.aspx

The result was a failure. The effort was unorganized, and to be honest, this was to be expected from a new, growing organization.

FFCA quickly learned from this mistake and disallowed citizens from posting topics on FFCA on the Nexon forums. Only people in the House of Representatives, admins and Ambassadors were allowed to post thread about FFCA.

What this new rule in the FFCA contract was supposed to do, was to make it so that ANY AND ALL future FFCA threads from that point on would ALWAYS be highly organized and proofread, corrected, and edited by FFCA in total. Believe it or not, nametagg, one of FFCA's biggest bashers at the time was what helped FFCA realize this after his presenting to FFCA the fact that only mrfarhan and Hazarath were commuting in the thread mrfarhan posted.

The fault in this lied in both Hazarath and mrfarhan because they should've known an organization consists of everyone in it, not just two people trying to represent it. Despite that, a great victory was still won from this: The mistake wasn't ignored, but instead, embraced and a new rule was created that would HELP prevent any further instances of this happening..


10/16/2010- Slayer of 1 created the very first Course of Action poll on the Nexon forums and on this forum: http://forum.nexon.net/CombatArms/forums/thread/5963074.aspx
Result was a success on garnering opinions.


10/20/2010-lolpierandom, FFCA Representative, posted something on Nexon forums to help clarify what FFCA is for.

10/24/2010- FFCA citizen, mrfarhan, told us the "secret" to how to get forum BB coding back on the Nexon forums!

10/26/2010- FFCA ambassador, Zirrick, posted the FFCA Mission Statement. Things turned out ugly.

http://forum.nexon.net/CombatArms/forums/1/6030779/ShowThread.aspx

10/26/2010- Community Representative, Hazarath, demoted. This was the first demotion ever handed out in the community.

11/17/2010- Hazarath got hacked by his friend in real life and quit the game, CA forums, and FFCA. One of the founders of FFCA left. It was a sad day.



Thrive as long as CA thrives, die as CA dies, and suffer as long as CA suffers.

I believe FFCA's expiration date will be never, and thus, this section dedicated to recording FFCA's victories, hardships, failures, accomplishments, bittersweet accolades, newcomers, fame, heroes and villains, and etcetera.



Hazarath:

The day I truly thought of seeing FFCA all the way through with some breaks here and there was after I got banned due to AbellaNailo and her... legion. I personally don't pin all the blame on any and all of the flamers or trolls though. It was my fault for taking their trolls seriously. I thought I could take in hate and not blow up in flames. I was right, for a while. i was right, for 1 and a half years, until I combusted. I kind of understood how Jesus felt, to sacrifice so much for my fellow man only to be humiliated and held there to be whipped, jeered, and hooted for my death. But I learned to forgive Abella and everyone else for the 3 days I was gone. It wasn't their fault 100%. I admit they could've treated my opinions in a more polite manner as mature adults, but not everyone possesses complete human understanding. I learned a great lesson from this ban: Hate isn't worth responding to, even if revenge isn't your motive in your rebuttal. Hateful comments or anything of the sort will deteriorate your mentality if you don't express your built-up inner frustration and contempt.

I actually had an inkling of a sort of FFCA a few months before I created FAAT, but I did FAAT somewhat sloppily. Now, as an older, maturer person, I've pulled together all my scattered ideas, into FFCA, and presented it to you. Granted, my best efforts are still short of good or even moderately good, because there was a lot of things I could've done better when I established FFCA to you.

I didn't plan on creating FFCA for a while, but looks like you jumpstarted it with your thread. A pleasant surprise and slightly dismaying. Disappointed in myself for not having told slayer to hold back until we as a census felt it was right unanimously.

FFCA's date of conceivement has been since I joined the forums(4/6/2009), but it wasn't until these 2 posts that FFCA got its name, or even my own recognition of it:

http://forum.nexon.net/CombatArms/forums/thread/5800915.aspx

http://forum.nexon.net/CombatArms/forums/post/5823451.aspx

I apologize if this sounds boastful, egotistic, or prideful, but it's hard to hold back my emotions talking about everything that lead up to the concept of FFCA and some of my personal internet life...

Please preserve a section of the forums for this. It will be continuously edited with dates as we do more and more. And slayer, please include your Kilo/Delta vote thread, that was an excellent thing you did for FFCA

Check out the current issues guys, make an impact and the archive will give you credit ;o

This Thread will be constantly updated to "vault" the FFCA's achievements, as they occur.

K.



But in all seriousness, sure. I'm editing this to make it evident of the date this all began.

Also, I'm making this pinned.

A'ight

Include the threads we already made. Look through your posts please. The Kilo vote thread JUST BECAME A HUGE SUCCESS OVERNIGHT. I posted on it a few days after Kilo got added. I talked about vGMs being added into the forums. Kalika posted on the thread. She said she's going to assign 3 forum moderators to the CA forums. Not sure who they'll be, but I'm sure Kalika will make the best decision.

I missed the poll. Q_Q

Added: http://forum.nexon.net/CombatArms/forums/thread/5846604.aspx

I hope I get the VGM status, but then again, I don't really mind. The fact that we're forging an alliance with Kalika (as planned) is just fantastic. i just hope they don't consider candidates based on post count......raptorjesus?..... *groans*

Lol. I think RaptorJesus can be serious if he wants to be. If he is chosen for vGM status, I'd be all right with it. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't mess around as a forum mod, since abusing his powers would obviously get him banned, and some of his numerous posts removed to shorten his E-peen.

Raptor is a trollsauce.


It takes him 2-3 posts to get to the point.

1. Troll comment
2. Less trolly comment
3. Actually helpful comment.


Which is why he has a massive post count.


Post count get!

Interesting idea.

Hope this gets continuously updated :O
