Truth is truth son. You can call the sky pink all you want. You can probably even get a couple people to agree with you, but it doesn't change the truth.
Truth is what we perceive it to be, not what it is.
Imagine you walk into a room in three piece blacktie. All the essentials for living are there, and you're locked in there. Everyone already there isn't wearing clothes. All the people in the room, besides you, believe that they're all wearing clothes and regularly compliment each other on their clothes. And they see you as naked.
Eventually, you'd strip and start seeing clothes too. And the clothes are reality.
So, you're a pvp-whore, and that's the truth, the reality, because the community believes it. We don't have to get YOU to agree with it, because we already know it's true.
' Wrote:Del, I've never ignored a single valid point that I have read. I leave that for faction leaders. Often I'm dealing with a bunch of spam from you faction leaders, thinly veiled insults, sometimes direct insults, and somewhere in that garbage I might miss something.
If you want honest discussion clean your own house. Stop the factionspam and these threads will get a lot more civil.
OK, what's a hoofing, what is the quantity of the RP and who decides?
And why is that better than a simple, clean yes or no list?
I'm not sure what you mean here. There is no requirement for character RP to play on the server. The rest is nebulous, and until you can quantify it how am I supposed to know that this isn't simply a way for factions to tilt PvP in their favor? Because that is what it looks like.
No, because the RP isn't good enough until the factions decide it is good enough, right? And safeguards are there that the factions are going to be fair? Quantify the amount of RP if you are going to make it a requirement, otherwise this stinks of an elitist powergrab, the embodiment of "we can walk all over the less organized or smaller groups of people who disagree with us on the server".
You can fly (almost) any ship you want even if you need the ID that actually matches it already, right?
So no one is being denied a ship by a black and white list, right? They just have to actually fly the ID that matches the ship. Why is that a bad thing?
Yes you are. You are afraid the truth will be inconvenient for you, and you are running from it as fast as you can.
Sad to watch, really.
I have not yet, nor do I intend to flame you, insult you or otherwise misrepresent you in print. I'll leave that to your signature.
Hoofing: Colloquialism, telling off, punishing
Quantity of RP: subjective according to the admins. The only factionalised quantity of RP is the 101st battleship requirement for at least 1 page, it does not define quality.
It is better than a simple yes or no, because a simple yes or no, does not account for the fact that some ship choices are by their nature nebulous. The Taiidan bomber for instance. A perfect example of this.
Given that: Only one faction has a ship that does not match the faction it is flying for, how does this tilt the balance in favour of PvP? It allows independents, in the main, to have a ship choice that is not standard. Most factions won't need to read it as they already have a recommended ships list in their status.
The factions have no say in whether a forum written RP is acceptable. None whatsoever, that is left up to the admins to decide.
I have no fear of the truth.

You claim the screenies prove I picked the ship for PvP
I reply the screenies show sarcasm (actually irony but I don't want to confuse you any further).
I then state that we can determine the truth of the matter if you want the truth, wether the words were meant literally or ironically.
Then you run away, knowing that you don't want the truth because a lie serves you better.
I believe that the evidence shown by your ridiculous attempt at a faction of random capital ships would suggest that you did in fact have crappy roleplay in your battleship selection and that you were in fact speaking literally, having forgotten that Dusty Lens is in possession of a keyboard with a 'PrntScrn' button.
So, I'm calling you a liar. Also: A rubbish roleplayer. Hence the ban.

If I get 98% of the world to agree with me however, then the sky is pink. Whether or not you make a twenty page thread refuting it.
Truth is subjective. Let us say that Bluntpencil is a poster child for what happens when you put your head in a lion's mouth, but that this may only true here on these forums. I cannot tell you what the truth is outside of these forums because I do not have information. Thusly the truth of blunts prediliction for antognising dangerous critters is subjective to the points of view he has presented in these forums.
Let us say that F=MA, something considered a physical law, but thsi is in fact only subjective to the points of data collected in reference to it. We cannot say that this will hold true for all bodies of mass, simply becuase we do not have the data.
