Tactical Retreat vs Fleeing

[aster]

1) I'm not showing door to anyone, I'm not in such power nor would I do if I had it. It is a reminder there is always a choice can be made.

2) If you are inclined you can suggest rule-free period or something, but in a different thread. I'm curious if you get enough support for that. Even then I predict it being put down. I believe it is those who like to exploit the rules will be happy the most while the rest us, civilized people, will just stand off and watch anarchy raging on. I can imagine BBC.Wild_Life gets blown out of the sky just as it undocks from Manhattan, repeatedly, just for the sake of it. But hey, go ahead and try.

I just know for a fact that some people just looking loopholes all around, and there are plenty of them. Should I remind lowbie killing issue the server had a while ago? Well, you can catch my drift there.

Personally I think it's not worth risking with such huge (for this game that is) player base.

Again I never accused you of showing the door to anyone. I believe that was Vince. Also I agree entirely with you that everone has the ultimate sanction of walking....

I think you suggesting I was proposing a "rule-free" period is vastly overstated. It was a single rule suspended for a very brief trial period that I was advocating. Your choice of words (anarcy, civilized) are emotive and not really helping in having a forum debate. However it obvious that you feel it is a foregone conclusion that the result of a trial would be negative. I am not as sure either way. I respect your greater experience.

There is a tendency with all successful things to "not rock the boat", and there are certainly benefits to that attitude. I have an opinion and will state it... but I am not a leader of men or champion of causes...

At the end of the day I participate in the forums to try to make Disco as good as it could be, not to rule broker or find loopholes.

I have probably written too much on this subject... It is a rule I would prefer to not exist but it is not a big issue for me. End of story.


Edit: @mjolnir I'm sorry if I have upset you too.

You are right you and Treeewyrm have many many more months/years experience of Disco that I do and I am purely voicing my opinion of one rule. I am not advocating a new world order. Also if it was tried before and ended in Chaos then that totally answers my request for a trial period. I don't fly capships and if the rule is there to protect them then that is one side of the discussion that I had simply not considered.
