Corsair - Zoner

[spikefin]

Lore? Sure, it's hard to tell what Zoner Lore is when actually everybody regards it from his/her own perspective which is very often the case for Zoners, but I wouldn't really call the NFZ concept lore today.

I thought the same once: It must be lore, at least a rp standard for the Zoner NPC Faction. The Zoner Leaders I met when starting to work for the ZTC were all referring to the NFZ as a kind of Zoner Laws. Strangely though I was part of the little group writing it up for the first time, just because it happened that there wasn't anything written down when I've asked where the NFZ was initially established in forum rp. The players I've asked should have known it, because they've played Zoners for years more than I had, so it was actually a shame there wasn't anything about it on the forums one could refer to. Perhaps only just a little faux-pas, so for a long time I have never bothered with the importance of NFZs. I was convinced to help enforcing "Zoner Lore".

A long time later I was taught otherwise: Initially the NFZ was introduced at FP11 and only used there because of the special situation of the Order facing the BHG, an ally and a faction who's staging off from Freeports lore wise, a good reason for the NFZ, so this supposed part of Zoner Lore might actually be none.

... if it helps.

Nice, but inconsise, When I was a zoner, Some people with more time and love for such things followed Faction rules. (I mean more time and love i had for such things, not a personal attack **Smiles**)

There was a history post for NFZ's just like Nomads and wilde had lore and lore adaptations, unfortuantly, the old forum links no longer work

No one nowadays seems to care about faction rules. The responsibilities of the factions. The transparency of RP. Or if they do, they hide the posts in the back room, Even some admins admit that they conduct private rp for actions that effect a large chunk of the server, then tell people to read the ooc posts to catch up.

When the admins wont play fair, what hope do the players have, accept to run around like chickens with no heads.

"I was part of the little group writing it up for the first time" Just saw that part, you wrote in the zoner lore? All i find of lore now-a-days is the wiki NPC lore. It's a bore compared to the original player elaborations, How those posts disappeared, I never should have gone away, or at least used a web spider on the forums before leaving to back everything up.

Im still a little confused about that forum part, Because these forums were around, but large amounts of official business was conducted elsewhere.

http://discoveryfl.com/ Im pretty sure it was.

I cant for the life of me remember 100%

EDIT:

The worst part, I was once probably the single worst RP'r on the server, I had many sanctions for small accedents (Yes that's right i typed : ) and l o l in system chat and got a 2 day holiday)

Someone actually said to me the other day "Wow you have a strong voice and are good at roleplay, that's why those corsairs left you alone."

That was while i was 3km's away from crete with a hold full of artifacts, a small chunk of food some water and about 15 corsair guns, In a fearless cruiser. Then i followed around a bunch of corsairs including a battleship while they patrolled and did quests. 48 hours ago.

That's really really sad to me, that anyone would ever think I was good at RP.

Im more used to the "//nice try, Youll get it" type attitude of former days.
