Nomads?

[Treewyrm]

Laowai, there are too many people trying to put labels on other factions around, it is something I don't do myself and not care at all if anyone does that to me. Mainly because such labels carry only the experience of the issuer, which, let's be honest, often made out of very personal interpretations (like getting killed for carrying nomad cargo and then crying out for RP fairy tale, yes, it happened on several occasions in game, documented in screenshots archive). If people don't make step towards us in roleplay then tell me why should we? Because we did, yet only small percentage of players responded, most came only to fight, so let's put it this way: statistically speaking people who come after the Keepers most of the time seek only PvP, as such they don't put much roleplay into the game themselves and after being beaten it is quite hypocritical to accuse the Keepers in the absence of roleplay. We really would love to have more conversations than what we have but people come to shoot us, not to talk, they want something to kill, to have their name shining in death message, killing a nomad player. The Nomads don't insult in roleplay, it's one of the fundamental rules of our roleplay concept, so when someone come in, starts to insult in roleplay and expecting to have some nice reply - no way, you'll just find yourself getting hunted and killed without us saying a single word. Occasionally we may put some metaphorical snide PM in game, but we don't do roleplay just for the sake of meeting some abstract quota for RP messages to avoid "labeling", we don't have that and never will. So, for as long as people will keep doing that we'll keep killing them, simple.

Those macros-like "yes, sir!/roger that/etc" replies, something that NPCs repeat whole time that you just turn off voice volume not to hear same actor saying same phrase every minute. We don't put them obviously. Nomads don't talk like that, they don't talk much compared to others and I see no problem with that, I'd rather have a few surreal well-thought conversations provoking imagination, improvisation, rather than have "same old" spoken over system chat just to show that you roleplay.

Our roleplay may manifest itself not just through typed text in game but in actions as well, we can just come to station and make no single shot, observing, watching, it's a part of our roleplay as well. Strange things may happen, but we can't do it too often otherwise the effect will become rather too common and will tend to repeat itself.

And personally I haven't seen much roleplay from you either. So far I've only seen corsair cruiser coming after us and being shot. No attempts to communicate were detected whatsoever. I'm afraid it's not an attempt to establish any roleplay, coming with only PvP will only get you only PvP in return, no more no less.

Few documented examples of non-hostile behavior:

• Freeport 11, post by LancerZero
  
• CAXANS, post by Malaclypse 666
  
• Tannik Seldon/Taurvi conversation
  

Suffice to say there were much more, but no reports or stories were made at all. I'm afraid it's not our problem if people choose to keep their experience within themselves not sharing it to the community in form of roleplay stories. It's their choice, not ours, we cannot force them to and will never do.

All those and more are listed in faction post, to me it sounds like people don't make any research before coming up with ridiculous labeling. Why should I care if some ignorant person do that?
