Lets improve the gameplay between the Hessians and the Corsairs

[Rmorph]

Sometimes I think that 99% of the player base in discovery is completely mental. Proof of it is watching this thread, which started so well, turn into a grudge match over weaponry and personal dissatisfactions with game-play mechanics.

That you guys could turn this into a discussion of ship specs and balance, when it could be an opportunity for players to directly address each other for the sake of improving the game experience for many many people.... is insane.


This is about players having regard for each other on an rp server where OORP behaviour should never overwhelm rp intentions.
That OORP stuff overwhelms us in Corsair space every day, with the result that it becomes a big OORP pile-on.

The admins have given up, the official factions have given up. the devs have given up.
The most experienced players laugh and mock.

Shame on the lot of you. If you keep this up then You are the noobs. You are the lolwhuts.

Yeah. thats right.
Regardless of your post-count or your self-opinion.
Regardless of being an admin or a dev or a king of the server. Or just ordinary smuck like me.

You are worse than those new players that don't understand.. cos you do understand, but you still contribute to the decline in standards that makes watching players try and commit to serious RP ingame like watching a car crash where the hate just piles on top of the casualties.

I read some of the stories from a few years ago, and see what players were capable of creating, and then compare it with what goes on now.. and I realise that I have nothing to contribute, cos those players are gone.

I wish I had known those people. It seems like a few years ago there was such a vibrant rp community here... I would have LOVED to have been part of it. I'm three months old on this server and I mourn its loss.



Cos Today? All that happens is now and then someone has enough guts to try and stand up and ask that we try and be a little more excellent to each other --> this thread.

And you all pile on.

Wheres an ethics commitee when you need one? Wheres a faction for "lets be excellent to each other!" when you need one?
Wheres the "lets dedicate ourselves to other peoples enjoyment?" crowd?



I'm gonna tell you what RP is for me, before I pull the plug.

RP is story-driven, character-based interaction with other community members, where as much as possible we are going to find our way to a satisfying resolution.

Something that the human being on the other side of my internet connection is going to enjoy as much as me.

We use the game server as a platform to drive events, stories and explorations of characters through dialog, conflict and resolution.

We get to do it on an excellently crafted vehicle of expression. Well done devs.

Sure there are factions out there that don't give a crap and want the biggest baddest ships.

To hell with them.

Rule 0.0 trumps all others.

If being excellent to each other means not flying caps, when you really wish you could, then suck it in.


RP should exist and survive regardless of whether we are all riding space bicyces, but most of you have obviously forgotten that.

Damn. I wish I had a nuke. I would reset the entire server and make everyone start with starfleas.
Then I would only allow players to gain a level for every inspiring rp event they contributed to.

Ain't my server. Ain't my rules.

I guess I'm done.

Thanks for the thread Madvillan. Someone needs to crown you mate.
