The Order feedback

[JIVA]

Regarding the latest set of rules addressed to the Zoners.

There is nothing wrong with the intent of the rules nor the roleplay. What i take a little offense is the tone.

You were exclusively addressing the Zoners, a hardcoded ally of yours. The tone of the consequences was unnecessarily martial. "Comply or die". I would expect that when you address all players within a region or someone your faction is not allied with. But when addressing an ally there could have been different ways.

Back in the days, the Order would most probably not have threatened the Zoners with murder but would have rather said that they contact the official factions immedietly and let them deal with it internally. From hearsay, it appears that you were aware of the support of the official factions.

Judging from the tone of the message, it could have read BHG|Core and not Order. Such an approach is something i expect from the Core - to execute swift martial law against non allies; but not from the Order.

So what is left is a slight disappointment in your choice of words and methods. Urgency and importance can be conveyed in a less hostile way.


constructive suggestion:

The intent of relieving a Zoner ship from major Nomad remains should be a service to protect the ship and its crew due to their ignorance and your greater knowledge of the matter. Destroying the ship might be considered contra-productive. It may have also helped to release an essay explaining how the remains of Nomads can "spread" like an infection to explain that ships carrying them must be put under quarantaine.

There are many ways to show transparency and gain understanding other than a piraty-like approach.
