Well I've finally had a chance to look at the situation since yesterday. I'm going to leave this here.
It's happened. That's it. The best situation right now might be to quarantine certain secret items like secret chems and work out everything. I say at the least keep the server closed source. No reason to keep it opensourced, as that will just drain what talent is left after this. I'm really curious though, I want to see what the actual coders have to say about the situation.
I suppose the biggest tragedy of this all is Cogwerks. He spent 2 years making a map and not even 3 months of it being out did pass before this happened. Considering what he was going through in making the map, we need to find a way to make it up to him.
What's amazing in all of this is that is shows how vile the outer-SS13 "community" really is. No, I'm not talking about the leaker, people like that always exist in some capacity. Some of the anti-goon responses by people are insane, to the point where they're having a bigger reaction than actual goon players. Some servers seriously can't figure out why other bases don't like them. Everyone was expecting this to be "golden", the toppling of the mighty, evil goon tyrants, except that none of that happened.
Goon seems to be stuck in its old reputation. People think its no different than how it was in 2011. The ultimate irony is in the way that people are acting, it seems to match the old description of goon much more. People have become the thing that they claim they aren't. We could make a compilation of things people have said to us, vs what we have said, in an attempt to prove this point, but that wouldn't accomplish anything.
The best we can do is hope to make a good impression on people. This event might even draw in more people who previously didn't care about goon, but I doubt it.
In the end, goon was the best community, and still is. It won't die from this. Nothing was technically lost, yet everything. Today isn't the day this community dies. Hopefully we'll become something better from this.
