Judicial Order

[St.Denis]

Hours of activity are no measure of quality. Also, to be blunt, most of your members seem to be relatively new players. This is no false claim - I've roleplayed / spoken to a fair number, and quite a few of them are clearly very new to roleplay. That's not a problem, mind you. With guidance they'll get better. It's only good that you're guiding them.

I am a bit perturbed by the above quote. What constitutes 'new players'? Is it time spent in the game? Or how many posts on the forum you have made? (including all the +1s and other inane comments that I see on the Forums).

I have, in my 30+ years of Role-playing, see many different 'types' of RP. Some, in my opinion, have been very good and others completely rubbish. But I have learnt over the years that 1 persons idea of RP isn't the same as the next. I have found that groups form up with like ideals (even though each group was different in their ideas) each group was RPing. Nobody has the whole answer when it comes to RPing of who is right or wrong.

The Judges (consisting of 25 Judges and approx 5 Cadets at the moment) have a vast range of experience within this game. Some have been playing for years (not necessarily on this Server), a few like myself have been playing for over a year. There are a few others that are relative new comers but I am sure that this is the same for most groups. All of the Judges belong to other 'groups' and never seem to be 'chastised' for their lack of RP. It must be something to do with changing into the Judges uniform (maybe we remove our brains before doing so!)

So my statement to the community, of which we are apart, is that nobody has the right to tell us how to RP. Just because we may not conform to some peoples ideas on how RP is supposed to be carried out doesn't make it wrong.

Just because you collect the new and the pvp oriented players, and build up your activity on the server, train your recruits, all of these won't make you a good roleplaying faction. Numbers of hours mean nothing if you cannot show up with anything useful... or with anything at all besides sitting at Newark and... where now? Conn?

We are condemned when we train inRP and told to go to Conn (ooRP) to train and now we are in the wrong because we are training in Conn. Seriously people DO make up your minds!
A good saying which has always been true and will always true: You can please some of the people some of the time but not all the people all the time.

And pray do tell us what pvp orientated players have the Judges recruited? We generally only fight when we are attacked. We are on a bounty board and you can see the pages and pages (probably too many to count) of the bounties we are collecting. Which part of, we are trying to achieve Neutrality with most if not all groups, did people not understand (see our original request). We are hostile to LR because they put a Bounty on us and to 2 RNC ships that insist on attacking us even though we are 'civilians'! The list is getting bigger as groups decide to attack us. The Torpedoes have now (even though their RP is to 'kill' LN Cap ships) attacked the Judges. I just wonder if this is certain people jumping on the proverbial
bandwagon of 'bashing' the Lepers of society?

If we don't become Official then c'est la vie but at least we tried.
