Disappointed

[Chrono]

Nomads can ally with anyone in RP. Even the BAF if nomads wanted.

I did not find that in server rules.
Maybe you read wrong ones.
If I will enter liberty space with my BS doing RP. I don`t think other will find that good and will let me do it.
The most important thing is stick to basic rules first.

Even if I don`t like some of server rules I still play by them!

I may not be able to call myself an expert on the server and house rules, but there are certain exceptions even to the server and house rules... and sometimes those exceptions come from the RP itself.

The Nomads have the ability to infect humans, thus creating a basic Nomad slave to do their bidding as is shown in the SP version of the original Freelancer. t=The players in question could very well have been an LR that was turned into an infected and then completely into one of them only in human form... yes, they should have had the proper ID / IFF / Ship / Equipment... but you may have just happened across the beginning of a char that's JUST been turned and has yet to, INRP, change ships to those that the Nomads deem worthy for one of their slaves to fly.

Other examples could include A bounty hunter suddenly turning on his comrades in the middle of a fight and fighting for the Rogues. This could be due to a deal that's JUST been struck with the lead LR in the current battle group to give the BHG safe harbor in exchange for information and possible short term servitude to the LR to see to it that the Bunter has cut all ties with the BHG and has truly become one of them. This could be due to the BHG char fearing for his life from his fellow BHG for a poorly planed and costly / deadly battle that he was souly responsible for...

Now like i said, i'm NOT an expert on either sets of official rules.. but I've come to find in the game that considering this IS a Role Playing game in which you take the role of the person flying that LR Werewolf VHF or Order Hathor Gunboat, that there are instances where the rules get a bit grayed out to fit the current Role Play situation... Now i'ts when a player blindly violates them to get what they want done INRP, then that's when they should get sanctioned or at least a stern, "Hey, remember, you can't fly a Navy Gunboat in the Liberty Rouges... No, not even if you say that your character stole it from a Navy shipyard.... Well, if you'd like to try that, then first try and get SPR permission for it, then if it's approved, have fun freakin out the guys at Alcatraz when you fly up i that thing." Then hopefully the player will take the advise and go about doing things in the proper way, though a record of the conversation should be kept by the player that called him / her out on it. Now should the same player be seen flying the same Navy Gunboat under the same ID / IFF that's not allowed, then a quick check of the SRP section of the forums and the player with the records of the discussion will know what they have to do.. 1: they make a sanction report given that there's nothing about the ship / player / char on the SRP forums. 2: they smile and decide to do the RP thing and say, " Hey Navy boy, I've got a convoy of Light arms headed for Alaska that's due to jump into California in 5 minutes via the Magellan Gate, you think you could grab a few of your fellow pilots and give me a hand with its protection.... Ok, ii'll meet you at the Cali side of the gate in 5, LSF-Whatchamacallit out." 5 minutes later, the convoy jumps into Cali and is greeted by the Navy Gunboat as well as a whole squadron of Rogues that seem to be just sitting there. Then the Comms open to the convoy from the Navy Gunboat, " MAN, i sure do like this piece of Liberty scrap i managed to steal, makes findin good cargo pretty easy, thanks for the tip by the way you LSF idiot.. Now, lower your shields and drop the cargo.. You play nicely and you just might live through this...." 10 minutes worth of RP later, the convoy get yelled at by the Rogues to beat it, and that the overly idiotic LSF agent that just called the Rogue Warlord a sissy girl that likes playing with dolls is told that those words will be his last. "WEAPONS HOT"

That's kinda how it works, though i'm NOT an expert on the rules, guys, feel free to pick apart my explanation and correct my screw ups if you would, though, this is how i've come to figure out the way of Sirius. As for you Blood, this is a game, yes there are rules to follow and those that don't, but please keep in mind that some of those rule violators might have been greenhorn players and didn't quite understand what they were doing wrong, and as for the "No one makes Sanctions any more", then why don't you try and start fixing that issue by writing sanction reports to help get Disco back on its feet rather than complaining about how screwed up the game is because no one does what, from what i can tell, you don't do either.

I apologize for that last bit, please don't take this as my flaming you or trying to start something.... the only thing i'm trying to start is the possible second golden age of Disco.

Safe Flying.
