We have admins who think RPing as Al Qaeda is perfectly acceptable RP, thats how we get to this point Peter.
The same admins who rephax IDs hostile to eachother just to 'save time' then act suprised when people complain about NPC cap patrols in Berlin pewing them.
Simply put you can troll all you want, just be friends with the right admins and/or mods, and nothing happens.

the troublemakers ( those motivating others ) are very often veterans - who just got bored. often ppl with high post counts, 08, 07 accounts - and countless ingame experience.
real newbies hardly ever build up hatred - and cause that much trouble. so we cannot blame the new players as much as the old ones that build up a network of friends and minions.
Indeed, and its worse when SOME of the admins are part of said network of minions, and give those special players unofficial warnings (if even that much) for things that would get lesser players banend.

Zoners should just make bounty that includes those that attack them.. money shouldn't be problem for them.
If you are all that bothered with all those attacks why don't you make something to stop them?
I think I should anwer to that.
We're permanently discussing counter measures within the AC, so a counter bounty was also discussed. The problem is that we'd be approving the bad RP by engaging with such a reaction, and we're actually not willing to approve this to be an RP standard suitable for RP according to server rule 0.

I'm with Jinx on this. I see it all too often, and it's why I feel that the server is a bit of a good 'ol boy's playground. As I still enjoy it with all the shortcomings, I try not to complain. Complaints do nothing. Just enjoy the server as best you can.

Touches on the original point that Jinx made. I'm constantly amused with all the finger pointing when most everyone is guilty of deconstructive behavior on the server at some point in time or another. Everyone gets to put their nail in the coffin, as stupid as that saying is. I wised up to this slowly, but it's the truth. And now I have a few "fun" characters myself. Do yourself a favor and do the same. I take things seriously in my own faction, but that's the extent of it. When others take themselves seriously, return the favour. Laugh at (not with) the rest. Doesn't matter who they are.
And really, if you have a bounty on you, it's not the smartest thing in the world to go through the home system of those that want to kill you. No matter what you said or didn't say. I bet your rep isn't fixed according to the matter too. Strangely enough, we've a good number of mercs that have revealed this problem. Curious to see if the FR5 went through or not.
I'm not mad. Just saying.

I always wondered why they called Sarcasm the lowest form of wit.
You're taking things way too seriously, you're taking things on a personal level. If I were to take the IND's bounty on us seriously I'd had burst a vein by now.
Dusty you dirty dirty IND, stay out of my system or I'll have you keel hauled and tie your corpse to the nose of my Gunboat D:<
