Privateer ID

[chopper]

Another newbie post, apologies in advance for naivety.

IDs are great, but they are restrictive and therefore limiting to RP. They say who are the good guys and who are the bad. When the RP gets more mature, good and bad are harder to define so the IDs stop being useful and start being an impedement to RP.

They are there to stop RP excesses however as it stands the proposed RP (although in character, logical and interesting) is against server rules.

Something must give, either the RP must change or the rules must be broken. How can admin slap our newbie wrists for going against the card and then allow a whole faction to go against some of the basic premises of the IDs being suggested.

Personally I think the RP should take precedence over the rules but it sure leads to some big questions for people to argue about.

Exactly what i was trying to achieve, but people just keep telling me "ID doesn't allow it!".
It's silly.
There is no way that ID's can support all the RP of all the people who can think of something new.
It will always be a "rule-breaking", but only because there is no ID that fits.
Not because they are buttheads who like to break rules.

It is every Corsair's responsibility to die a beautiful death in defense of Crete, regardless of how OORP or how capwhoring the opposition is. Launch your fighter, joust the battlecruisers and die a beautiful death. Then, drink it down in the bar.
