Nomads?

[Laowai]

I've been reading this thread with a little bit of interest...

I can see why a faction like the Wild would need to be regulated... we have semi regulated and unregulated factions in game now whose actions in terms of PVP are regulated slightly by the "reputation" system - and people are still crying out about "Pvp whorage" left right and centre... could you imagine how much more that would be if there was an open Wild faction who are actually allowed to fight EVERYONE?

I appreciate the principle of letting people play for whoever they want to play for, actually, i think it should work that way, but i think the sad fact is that many people simple couldn't be trusted with it, they won't roleplay and just use the faction as an excuse to shoot up everyone and everyone.


I'm showing a little bit of ignorance here, and my relatively newbishness on the server - but I'm really curious as to how the keepers actually work.. by that i mean.. What is their Role Play???? . Keepers don't actually seem to speak to anyone else (or maybe my chars just haven't been spoken to) and my only experience of them in game has been to be pwned in battles with big nasty nomad ships and other strange looking vessels... there were no *telepathic* messages, or... anything? I mean no offence to Treewyrm, who i don't know but who seems to take the faction quite seriously (fair enough if it's the child of your labour!) - but as i said, my only experience of this faction has been being pounced upon in PVP .... and how is that different from everyone else who is running around PVP'ing?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking you guys, only questioning how it works...., i know im probably missing half the picture, and im sure the keepers are engaged in some in group RP on their own.. or.. something, there probably are nomad "spies" running around Sirius.. i know the faction has written on the forums - but im just really curious to see an in game demonstration of the Role play - I know the nomads are supposed to be secretive and all but.....


Here's the thing - i really like Rp'ing, i think i do an ok job at it. I almost always stay in Character in game (unless someone ooc's me first, or needs help or does something against the rules - actually, even then, i will say those things in character sometimes). I Try to stay true to who i envisage my characters to be ( 3 of them are pretty distinct.. and different).

That being said, i would be in NO HURRY to RP a nomad or a wild... i reckon you have to be worthy of an academy award to pull it off well and NOT just be PVP'ing everyone who shoots up a nomad NPC or going around seeking "vengeance" on those who harmed your kind............ :unsure:
