but maybe he had a bad day, was in a fight, or thinks that cap-"whoring" is a "nice" thing to say.

It's pretty likely this particular pilot was otherwise preoccupied with organizing the operation. Or maybe just a cruddy day at school or the office. We all have bad days.

There really is only three problems here.

1: People dont give a damn no matter what
2: about 60% of the player doesnt even know we have a forum and thus are totally ignorant about the rules that are in place.
3: Most people on the server dont even know how too RP which is a Major pian for those that try too RP.

I've played on 2 other servers over a 3-year period, 1 pvp-oriented, the other rp-oriented, and I can say with confidence that this one is the best of the lot.

With that said, a server is as good as its admins and playerbase. Disco is no Utopia, nor is it a Dystopia. But it's good enough for me.

I've seen some (1:) but frankly not as much as some folks seem to suggest. Maybe most of the indifferent players are online when I'm offline. Most of these folks tend to get themselves sanctioned and banned off the server sooner or later. Often sooner.

I agree with what you said in (2:). I've read the rules 3 times through and I still haven't managed to memorize them all. By reading the forums, I've gained a better understanding of the rationale of some of the rules. Then again, at least one rule strikes me as being illogical, even after sifting through the arguments of the wiser veterans of this server. But rules is rules.

(3:) is a bit of a conundrum. One player's sense of rp isn't always in perfect alignment the rp of another player. Some players have a gift of rping to the hilt and others settle for rp-lite. Some of the experienced players need to try to understand that it takes time to acclimatize to a new server culture, even if the new player's previous server was an rp-server. And yes, if someone is only interested in getting the best ship and the best guns and no interest whatsoever in playing by house rules, that is very frustrating.
