OSI Feedback Forum

[EisenSeele]

This is a feedback thread - you're giving your opinion on Az's role play. You say it is crap because you don't like it. Thus, in your eyes he is doing it wrong; when in fact he isn't doing it wrong. His character might (and I can't stress that enough) be making mistakes, but Az isn't if he is intending his character to be bull headed.

OSI has always been a trade-everywhere faction and it has weathered the elimination of Kusari, Gallia, and Rheinland from its trade routes multiple times in the past. OSI has been hunted by a large number of factions over the course of its life. Considering the main goal of OSI is to supply Nichols, other Zoner bases, and supply groups in the Border and Edge worlds losing access to Rheinland isn't a large issue for OSI - is it an issue? For sure, but not nearly as large a change as you seem to think.

What you are saying is that OSI didn't handle being called out how you wanted them to handle it. In less words - they didn't role play how you wanted them to role play. Again, had they role played the way you wanted them to and said 'We R sorry, here is the 15m. Please don't shoot us.' and been done with it - there would have been far less chance for role play and interaction between a number of factions. Why is that better than the route they've taken? You have to interact with them?

A warning would have been a warning. You didn't intend your first post be be merely a warning, because you critizied (as feedback threads are for) their role play. If you wanted it to be a mere warning, dropping a line saying that 'due to the current role play between both factions OSI might find itself hunted by Rheinland' would have been a warning.

Regarding the 100k fine for the new guy - I can't count the number of times that Stygian or myself cleaned up or paid a fine for a new player. That is what the leaders of a faction are there for; to help new guys along, teach them the ropes, lead them, and if required cover their butts when they do make mistakes.

Anyways, just role play it out. Even if Az isn't handeling the interaction right (which I think he is working it perfectly fine) - his actions (and Rheinland reaction) have generated chances for members of both groups to interact. That is a win-win for both groups - even if it means some OSI ladies/gents lose some cargo along the way. Heck, the security wing might have something to shoot!

Note: Funny, as I typed this post I recall a time when I would have said/acted just as you are in regards to this situation. I guess over time playing on Disco and leading a faction you learn what I'm trying to preach here. Guess I can thank all the peeps I played with here for teaching me that even if I refused to listen at times. Oh, and this whole discussion might give me a reason to reload Disco and have some fun with you guys again. Thanks.

I don't hate Az. I nothing Az. We've had no personal interactions, so I have made no judgement on him as a person. I have only his reaction to the events that have occurred - I've stated that it was merely my opinion that his attempts at dodging consequences was a cop out (a personal opinion, not a glaring indictment or a threat for shankshuning or a promise to feed him his own dog in chili), actually, come to think of it, he both inrp and oorp blamed us for what a gang of RNC indies did to one of those POB freeports - which isn't very cool, especially given that he's of the disposition that OSI is being wrongfully persecuted for what one tagged OSI ship did. I guess I kind of do have a lesser opinion of him now, though not really.

Also, as I've said before, my first post was a warning. It may have been long winded due to the inclusion of an explanation.

I have asked around, and it would seem the OSI was given its own ID so that it could develop its own diplomacy and diverge from standard Zoner RP - I suppose this is a great opportunity for the OSI to exercise that privilege, and diverge from the neutral-everywhere-5k-transporting-massive-profit-ores-from-Goldern-and-Diamant-etc faction that it has sort of become (not that there's anything wrong with that).

It would be interesting to see a faction that will be held accountable for its economic hostilities with diplomatic consequences in a dynamic fashion, since normal house shipping corporations have had all that figured out for them before hand.

Also, we are roleplaying it out - something which may or may not alter the roleplay of the OSI, which is why the warning was issued in the first place (XD again, as a courtesy)

That being said - I'll look forward to seeing you in space it's always good to hear a veteran player is returning
