' Wrote:Question concerning Faction Right #5,
Does this grant Official Factions the right to have a player, group , or none official faction of the same nationality set to hostile ( in other words banished) if all attempts to get them to follow set laws & cannon rp for said group have been exhausted & proof is available to show as such?
Example: An Outcast pirates fellow Outcasts in front of Alpha. He has been warned numerous times by Independents, Official Factions & players representing the Outcast Government. He either never responds to PM's or states " No speak English" . Screen shots are taken for evidence. With said evidence, could he be listed as Hostile to the Outcast even if he is one?
Short answer - 'yes'.
Follow the link and read what it says. The action would have to originate from an official faction, and there would have to be appropriate role play documented in game (pictures) and probably some in forum notice as well.
Obviously some people with short attention spans never made it to the second sentence, to read Dieter's edited post. (I'd say that last comment of mine was made with sarcasm and tongue in cheek, but (effectively) Dusty already beat me to it.)

I have mixed feeling about this.
My prediction: There will be several factions that take this too far, I am certain of it.

I don't like it that much ... it could make my junky pirate hostile to everyone, and I don't want it at all. (Just had a bad time with the NPCs in Alpha)

Edit: Shoot. I just noticed that there were two sentences, the second one consisting of a link. Maybe you guys could compress it into one sentence next time? My attention span aint what it used to be.

Shoot. An explanation of how this rule made it into the game without a discussion on the subject beforehand would be appropriate. It would be nice too. Like cheese. A clarification in Dieter's post saying that there would have to be appropriate role-play in-game and on the forums would also be nice. Like cheese again. Oh well, must be too busy working on your sarcasm.
Anyway, that was not given. As for "without reason" it referred to the practical application of the rule. An independent player who role-plays as being outside the faction's chain of command could be set to hostile. Goodness knows with the recent "role-play" around here, that would be fun.
All up, the rule was obviously thought about at length, and as such it gives such detailed phrases as "some sort of role-play". I am glad that it did not take a moderator's response to a question to clarify the specifics and the rule was made so well.

Might I ask if there is a simple facility such as a forum thread where such requests can be easily posted? Or is there a particular admin we should PM in such cases? (Or, heaven forbid, a secure flhook command? Not that that is probably workable).
Yes. Post in the special RP section with a linky to the forum RP evidence.
If we believe it is unfair then the request will be rejected although I hope that this does not happen often.
This is right to request not a right to demand and it merely formalises the situation that has existed here for a long time.
Far more power to the factions I say.

If you cannot figure out what is meant by discussion, then do not bother replying.

If you can't figure out why there wasn't don't bother asking why there wasn't.
