People's main problem with The Judges.

[Tonto1911]

Aerelm makes some good points.

I have not had any experiences to make me hate the Judges. I really haven't had much experience with them at all and I still don't completely understand them. I think that might be driving a lot of people's frustration......they just don't understand what the Judges are supposed to be.

Let me elaborate a little and this is not just for the Judges, this can apply in many places. Many people are coming up with new and creative ideas to introduce new things into Discovery. While this is good, there are many factions with established role play already here. There are many factions built into freelancer that need players. Bringing something new in here is not always the best answer. I understand that it may have worked well on another server, but sometimes taking the time to see what is going on in this server community and what has worked here first and then decided how to get involved in the role play is a better idea.

What I've seen happening is groups wanting to create something new that doesn't completely fit the RP here. Sometimes, what they are trying to create already exists in some form in this community and doesn't need to be re-created. What happens is it then appears that you are creating an elitist group that feels it is better than the groups and RP already established here. Before you give me the knee-jerk, "no we're not doing that, and we don't feel we're better than anyone else" response realize that I'm not accusing you of doing that. I'm just saying that you are giving people that impression whether it is your intention or not. Perception is often more powerful than truth.

That's my opinion. You can do with it what you like. Again, I'm not accusing you of doing anything bad. I'm just offering my opinion of why some people may view you in a negative light.

Hawk, thank you for your insight. In all honesty, I don't have a good response, so I will bring it to the other's attention and we will take it into consideration.
