Non-Nomad RP on Nomad Cloaked ships

[McNeo]

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).

Well done, you're now part of this problem.

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.

Given that it took me more than four lines to figure out you were permanently cloaked before withdrawing my interaction, I assume you don't count me among these. Here's the relevant bit.

[22.01.2014 00:12:05] [LN]-Christina:Robinson: You shouldn't always be invisible.
[22.01.2014 00:12:22] [LN]-Christina:Robinson: Given that cloaks are illegal, all Im legally obliged to do is shoot you.
[22.01.2014 00:12:25] Spud: Girl: I wathnt alwayth like thith.
[22.01.2014 00:12:36] [LN]-Christina:Robinson: Sure.
[22.01.2014 00:13:02] Spud: Girl: Onthe, I wath a nowmal giwl, doint nowmal giwl thtuff.
[22.01.2014 00:13:35] Spud: Girl: But then, I wath hit by a twain! In a twade lane! Evew thinthe, I am like thith
[22.01.2014 00:13:45] [LN]-Christina:Robinson: Once, I spoke with invisible people. Now, not so. Goodbye.

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.

What assumption is that? Given that I was RPing with you just fine until I figured out that, should I choose to try to evict you, there was no way that I could attempt to make my will a reality. I had no problem with your RP as you could probably see - I had a problem with being powerless in an interaction. Powerless to make you shut up should I choose, and powerless to make you leave should I choose.

At that point, I withdrew my interaction. Reavers arriving was unrelated to me not talking to you anymore.

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.

Well done again, you're part of the problem, since what you're doing is the same thing, just on a smaller scale.

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.

Let me throw some definitions at you:

In text-based online environments such as MUCKs, MUSHes, and other role-playing (RP) games that emphasize role-play over acquiring levels or skills (as opposed to most MUDs), a player can be described as a powergamer if he or she presumes or declares that his or her own action against another player character is successful without giving the other player character the freedom to act on his or her own prerogative.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powergaming

If we cannot blow you up, you are presuming, declaring and in fact making a reality, the assertion that we cannot do anything whatsoever to evict you, should whoever you're interacting with choose that course of action.

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.

I accept that you are not doing your RP to be annoying and to powergame. However, my point is that regardless of your intent, both are the result.

Now, as for the rest of your reasoning, mostly to do with disagreements with Treewyrm about nomad RP etc, there is a sizable amount of players who look to Yuri for guidance on nomads, since he basically invented their incarnation on this server.

I am not one of those people, but my opinion on disco nomads is not relevant here.

If you choose to RP nomads differently, there should be nothing stopping you. I am only concerned with the effects of how you choose to RP, not the effects of the RP itself.
