Discussion of Order Council

[Orin]

Completely besides my point, Swiss, not answering my question, and the question was not addressed to you.

Thank you for trying, but I want to hear what the admins have to say.

However, this is letting the leader of a faction dictate to indies.

If Indies are ooRP, it's up to admins to sanction them, not up to Bs| to slam them down.

Other factions have got in trouble for this, I don't see why it should be allowed for Bs|.

And yes, for the record, I'm defending indies. Get n00bl3t in here to note that.

And a dedicated Order member would atleast put an effort into getting a bio out or a story for his/her ships and characters.

Now don't get me started on required forum stories.

[Heartless]

Orin, when I was typing that you hadn't posted yet so I didn't see it hehe, sorry.

It is a shame that this comes only 3 days after that sanction, but after it wolf talked with the admins and this came out of it, not much else I know of.

My mistake, apologies.

I would think something like this would be further contemplated, but eh.

[Heartless]

that's ok.

And a story or bio or whatnot isn't mandatory, people just like you more:)
And it's better for rp too.

Many, many people RP quite well without ever writing anything on the forums which only a handful of people would ever read anyway, and likely come away with information that they wouldn't actually know about in-RP.

Said it before, say it again: Stories are not RP.

I wouldn't be so sure.

The first place one witnesses the Order in SP is in NY.<snip>

There was an extremely good reason for them to be there.

They were saving what was left of the free galaxy from enslavement by a menace few knew existed, and those that did were a part of it.

I'd say that warrants a certain exemption from the black-and-white lines we should follow today.

Besides the fact that Discovery is currently 16 years from the events of SP. The Order has evolved slightly, away from the silent protection of public figures, and into a more proactive Nomad-hunting cabal.

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.

Stories may not be all, but they DO give people a better idea of what's going on with your character. So, in a way, it's better for your RP because people will then be able to know ahead of time who you are, and you will have something to point them towards if they have any questions.

Sorry, but I feel that people should find out about other characters through RP. If someone ever tells me to just go read a forum story if I ask them about things ICly, I'll just ignore them and avoid RPing with them.

But we're going off topic.
