Discussion about BSG's roleplay.

[Stoat]

There is definately an attitude, on this server, of bashing BSG and CR for being originally drawn from a non FL setting. OK, now that would be fair enough if the bashing was being done by people that have NO link in their RP to a non-FL setting. Sorry Dab, I'm referring to AW in this case. Ok, you've developed your RP beyond that original setting, and fair play to you for it, but now that you've done it you seem to be sitting on your castle walls chucking stones at folks for wanting the opportunity to DO THE SAME THING AS YOU. Nice one. Very considerate. If that's not what you're doing, you're not making your case very well in my opinion.

In my time here I don't recall seen anything so chilling as the vitriol, sniping and bias thrown at the "colonials", and this thread has just become another excuse for it.

Chopper was asking a perfectly reasonable question about his group's RP. I wish I had more to say on that subject, but i've almost never run across BSG in my time here, and certainly not since the split. But from what I've seen from what he has to say about the direction that they're trying to take, I say more power to him. StarButt also has made valid points, but he's very obviously angry, or it seems that way to me.

I'm in QCP (although I've not been active for way too long), and we're going through a difficult time trying to rationlise how we can do what we do (ie taking money off certain traders to feed our war effort against Kusari) within the ID restrictions. Blunt has posted a request for thoughts, and as far as I can remember from the thread, everyone has been extremely helpful with their suggestions. Then I compare that response to what's going on here................................ I'm not surprised there are some angry people.

BSG deserve the chance to develop beyond that from which they have come. Dab, Eppy, Gezza, StarButt, Doom, Chopper, you're more than welcome to tell me to take my opinions and stick them where the sun don't shine. I'm just hoping everyone can take their foot off the gas, cool down a little bit, and try to come up with something constructive to say.

My feeling on BSG is that they would have originally joined IMG as mercs, but have since become IMG guards. I don't know if there is an IMG Guard ID, or if the Merc ID allows you to operate within your chosen RP. You mention that you don't like the generic Military ID because it is too general and allows you to police the whole of Sirius, but you don't have to choose to do that. You can personally sanction ANY of your group that abuses your chosen RP. So, although it's not perfect by any means, it would allow you to police your ZOI and stop smugglers hauling drugs right past your front door.

It's my opinion that BSG should be allowed, and encouraged, to follow the route they are taking. All I can see is an increase in the opportunities to RP in the Tau systems.

Anyway, back to the battleground........................
