Non-Nomad RP on Nomad Cloaked ships

[Spud]

Hm looks like that was too long to post. Anyway...

Whether you want to annoy somebody or not is not the point. The point is whether you are actually annoying them or not, and if you are, what they can do about it.

With the infinite cloak, they can do nothing about it. They can't get rid of you, they can't shoot you, they can only ask politely.

It's pretty much a powergaming tool. Furthermore, it's impossible not to use it as such, unless you refrain from RPing while cloaked, save for any engagement message you might give.

To be honest, I should be thanking your example, since behaviour like this puts it on a fast track towards the nerfstick.

I've got no problem with off-the-rails RP that goes against established lore. I did some myself not too long ago, specifically to do with the apparently completely lethal liquid cardamine that is a contention I completely ignore. What I do have a problem with is being completely powerless to evict an enemy, that can just yap and yap forever without anybody being able to do anything about it.

Your intentions, such as they are, do not reflect the reality of the situation.

There are at least 50 people in New York every day talking to every single person in the system who can do nothing about it, and they know it, and they get told to shut up and they continue just to annoy people. Including nomads, doing the "correct" ***"ours" ~hate~ "yours"*** RP without getting shot, which is like trying to talk using a maximum vocabulary of 20 words and thus a really great RP tool (sarcasm).
In my entire time as spud, I think maybe 2 people told me to shut up and leave them alone (and those said it when I had spoken about than 4 lines to them), and when when they said it I did.

You tell me that my intentions do not refelct the reality of the situation, when infact your assumptions based on what a few people who chose to be annoyed for the simple reason that my RP was not unintelligible giberish between asterixes while either visible withing radar range or in system chat do not reflect the reality of my behavior, or the situation.

If I wanted to powergame and annoying, I could ***no~"grammar"~RP*** exactly the way other nomads do, in system chat, 40 k off the plane, knowing no one will ever have any clue where I am.

The reason I chose cloak and speech was because I wanted to avoid that sort of annoying as hell and stupid ***system chat RP that no one cares about or understands***, without being blown up on site.

Treewyrm also just assumed that I'm using the cloak and voice and hybridization to powergame and be anoying, which is what I found most annoying from his part. I chose cloak so I could have more potential to RP without annoying the entire system and being ksploded on sight, the speech to make the RP more diverse and interesting, and the hybridization and speech impediment to be the exact oposite of a "perfect" powergaming character.

Speaking of Treewyrm and his instructuns "friendly advice" about how my RP is impossible and wrong, I took the time to re-read the discover nomad lore and Chriss Todd's nomad description to see if I had been imagining things when I read it the first time.
I already quoted the part where it mentione hybrid pilots in nomad ship above

Here's more on hybrids, quoted from the very same Discovery nomad lore 1.31:

The Hybrid

Towards the end of 800 A.S; when Nomads were actively seeking to adapt human technology to their needs they found a way to blend human and Nomad DNA to create a hybrid being: neither human nor nomad, but something new with the abilities of both.

The nomad faction story by Chris Todd says:

In their native form, the Nomads resemble nothing so much as amorphous, wormlike entities, but their inbred talent for genetic adaptability allows them to merge with the physiology of higher lifeforms.
...
The Nomads were specifically created with a high-degree of genetic adaptability. Possessing almost no fundamental genetic
structure of their own, the Nomads were able to absorb and decode the genetic structure of other organisms; they were in effect living machines, crawling analysis tools that supervised the many different experiments of the Daam-K'Vosh.

Right. In 800 AS you say they did it, but for some inexplicable reason, 20 years later when they are larger and more powerfull and more riled up against humanity than ever, and them being the total gene-maniputlaing tools and obsorbing DNA of other species, now they cant.

So what we learned form the lore and faction story was that nomad ships can hold hybrid pilots, are large enough to carry something like 30 escape pods in their hold, that nomads had hybrids in 800 A.S, that even the Hellfire Legion created a hybrid (them begin HUMANS, not gene-manipulton tools of the DKV, at least so it says that somewhere in the lore), that some people here had hybrid chars years ago, that there are even navy cruisers that have nomad stuff growing out of them. But that for me, all of that is absolutely and 120% impossible. Because someone wrote a pdf and says he could, and now says I cant. Thank you. Appreciate all your hard work writing it.
