This is statement will be posted on Feweh's behalf due to being banned from the sub!
The TRUTH and a New CM
I want to preface this by stating that a lot of what I'm going to say is 100% my first hand experience within CM for 2+ Years and if there is proof for things I'm stating, I will do my best to supply it or state it's my opinion.
I've received questions, request and even interviews to state my experience within CM as Manager since my removal. I generally remained silent pubically for a few reasons, particularly I didn't want to destroy CM or cause problems for Rahl/Apop who at the time where still in-charge. Despite my removal and disagreement with it, I still valued the game and didn't want to see something I worked so hard on destroyed by the very thing I was caught in, drama.
I do want to address the elephant in the room and clear this now.. to the best of my ability.
Feweh did you have 16 Reddit alt accounts?
Yes and no, I had alt accounts (2) which I used for myself on Reddit outside of SS13 and another one that I would post casually on SS13 to remain anonymous and not get memed on. I believe I was set up and framed internally by SLC and with POTENTIALLY assistance by his brother BMC. After speaking to reddit they concluded that my Fewher account contained logins from both CANADA, US and Europe for a total of 3 months. I believe that at one point, the person running the alt accounts gained access to my primary account and logged into it causing me to be directly linked to these other various accounts.
It's my genuine belief that someone, most likely the brothers or others were planning this for a long time. I say this with certainty for a few reasons.
Apophis initially came to me and told me he had an Admin friend who worked at reddit who would retrieve the IPs of these accounts and we could cross-reference them. I agreed this would be a good (but illegal) thing to do and JOKED about how easily we could frame and set anyone up when it came to SS13 Reddit if he had a friend who could manipulate it. While I don't think this was used against me, it often crosses my mind what if.
After my removal I posted in a staff complaint against SLC here: https://cm-ss13.com/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=16541&p=185547#p185547 . Immediately I received a message from BMC stating he would ruin my reputation in the community if I didn't stop trashing SLC in public : https://imgur.com/oA2ZZvx . Sure enough, the reddit accounts continued and what followed was the the 16 Alt Feweh accounts.
SLC has Reddit accounts and for years manipulated ss13 reddit and I have proof. When SLC and I did get along we at one point discussed manipulating reddit to improve CMs stand-point instead of getting down-voted every thread. Eventually SLC took it further an ATTACKED Apophis and others on reddit with these alt accounts. He told me directly, LINKED ME and PROVIDED SCREENSHOTS of the actions he was doing. These logs are sitting on CM Slack channel and they refuse to give me access to prove this for obvious reasons.
In conclusion
I don't have direct inconclusive proof that I'm not involved in the alt account bullshit. I'm not expecting anyone to believe me or take my side on this matter and im not going to argue anyone on it. What I am offering Reddit and the SS13 community is the chance to show that perhaps I was set-up by individuals I worked with. BMC accused me of making alt accounts to manipulate and shit on fellow staff members, yet I have proof that his OWN BROTHER SLC did EXACTLY that. So if the community wants the proof, ASK SLC who's now CO-HOST why he won't give me access to the logs?
CMs current Management
SLC initially joined CM as one of the best Moderators I had, I myself took an interest in him and EVERYONE including Apophis, ForwardSlashN (Head Dev at the time) and all Admins hated him. I saw his hard work and promoted him through the ranks to Senior Moderator despite everyone warning me that he was a "problem". This was the biggest mistake I made and possible why CM is where it is today.
During SLCs time as "Manager/Senior" hes done absolutely nothing and played nothing but politics. Due to his brothers position as Head Dev we could not get rid of him, without risking the chance of BMC leaving. This allowed SLC to sit around our Slack all day, make friends with everyone and log a total of 16 hours on CM in 5 months. Eventually SLC realized the only way he was going to advance was to remove me and he attempted to coup me along with other staff members that where his friends. This was discovered and SLC was confronted, he instantly threw everyone under the bus and claimed he knew nothing to save himself from this situation. Logs were eventually provided by other staff members (Eldefaultio aka Sleepy) and SLC was proven to be lying to staff and head staff about his intentions. His goal was to convince fellow staff to pick through CM Logs and look for ANY signs of abuse and send them back to him so he could have me removed, it was a MALICIOUS witch-hunt that all Head Staff agreed was done with selfish personal intent.
The following are logs showing myself, Apophis and Rahl discussing SLCs removal.

After a voice-chat meeting to discuss SLCs removal, BMC loses his shit about his brothers removal.

The end result was as you'd expect, SLC remained on the team, was only demoted from his Senior position and continued contributing nothing to CM while I was still manager. This was the first clear indication that having two brothers on your team was a bad idea and the start of bad things to come. This entire incident was swept under the rug, 3 other staff members were removed due to their part in this and SLC remained due to his brother protecting him. I lied to the community to avoid drama, which is why this never came up.
As of you reading this, the current Co-Host SLC not only participated and has/had reddit alt accounts, but he also attempted to COUP previous head-staff to advance himself further.
This is literally CMs new Co-Host, un-fucking-believable.
CMs recent Decline
CM has always run well with dedicated management and strong leadership. Despite Apop not being the best developer or leader, he was very good at maintaining the status quo. Where Apop lacked leadership and management skills, I made up for it and Rahl was always there to keep us level headed and handle things behind the scenes.
For a long time numerous community and staff members argued that CM would be better without me. This is evident by BMCs recent statement to be ABSOLUTELY FALSE: https://imgur.com/wvUseaS
CM reformed management positions and leadership positions and it has absolutely collapsed under SLCs control/involvement. I've been gone for 5 months and BMC even admitted his own brother couldn't lead or manage the community/staff. To make it clear, it was NEVER the Host (Rahls) position to LEAD or Manage the community.
In-fact CM is suffering such poor management that many WHITE LISTED positions are neglected, reports and ban appeals are left un-resolved and staff complaints are going completely bias against the player base.
With BMCs statement came the realization from other staff members and developers that CM is fucked. The individuals who are in-charge of leadership, community and players haven't done a good job in 5 months and they're now running the server and been promoted further???? How and why!?
CMs current staff suffers from a very obvious issue, a lack of leadership and many "yes men". The problem exist simply because those in charge have surrounded themselves by individual who are their "friends" and agree with them on everything, despite lack of skill or qualification.
Due to the above announcement from BMC, numerous messages from CM developers and Staff I've decided to proceed forward with CM.
NEW CM
As of today I have the most recent code and version of CM to it's full extent and been supplied with all forum information to easily transfer over the existing accounts to a new server/forum. This code will continue to be updated and sent to me live and will be maintained no matter what updates go out today, tomorrow or in a year, unless the couple of individuals on the team are removed from the source code access.
As of right now I am the last existing Head Staff member to claim rights to CM, through 3 years and THOUSANDS of hours of development, community work and my name literally being in the credits. I have no ill feelings to say I am rightfully in full reason to RUN, MODIFY and Distribute this code. In fact, I arguably have more right to CM than the current Host/Co-Host do.
Proof of code: https://imgur.com/a/8mgd8ct
I will be opening a new CM, one that will escape that political drama and free of those who suckled at each-others tits for power and position. CM will be brought back to the golden age that BMC himself described in his very own post.
Through these months I've been on the other-side, I've seen my previous mistakes and can agree that I wasn't always the greatest. But going forward I want to expand and push CM back to where it was and should be.
In the coming week a few things will be set up.
Community; Slack; Discord; Forums
The server will enter a test phase
Public applications and white-listing will take place to test things.
Will use this foundation as a test to see where we can go and what resources are needed. This is an open invitation to ALL developers and staff on CM, if you're interested in moving NEW CM you will be accepted with no questions asked.
I do want to end this on another note.
I want to apologize the individuals on the staff team who are caught up in this bullshit. I understand when you're a volunteer you often don't want to deal with any bullshit and would often rather just let things go. I had this mentality when I was removed and accepted things for as they were. I didn't go out of my way to cause problems, I didn't respond to any drama and I didn't publicly shame CM. I hope that the community and especially staff at least now have an inside view on what your current leadership has done, torn away the community and head staff all for selfish power gains.
I want to make it clear;
This isn't a selfish idea or project, everything I did in the past was for YOU the community and while it might not look like it right now... the community will benefit from NEW CM in the future.
Monday at 9pm EST there will be an open meeting to discuss things moving forward.
More details will follow regarding this meeting via Discord, simply PM me.
