In game kills affect RP mechanically

[lIceColon]

Whelp.

I guess like all my other ideas, which when used in moderation may or may not be a good thing
when it enters the mind of a disco player:

IF
kill_counter added
THEN
1. we're at war (with a kill counter) no rp anymore
2. Ignore server rules
3. Ignore RP
4. keeeeeel

(seriously you're all just gonna turn into ZA the second a kill counter is added?)

I guess everybody just took a glance at the words "kill counter" and was all like "time to diss ice again".

One of the things people keep forgetting in discussion threads, is the definition of "discussion". Last time I checked, I am not king of Disco, so you guys don't have to worry that echo and the rest of the dev team will rush over to do my bidding every time I post a new idea, and you have to keep typing "no" in order to prevent a catastrophe from happening. But this isn't a quick time event, and no just gets you nowhere.

This is discussion about adding more statistics to the game, and need I remind you there are already statistics in the game, namely the official faction's activity counter.

This is discussion about whether a kill counter of the prescribed conditions in the op can improve certain aspects of the game.

If everyone really flocks over to that one faction that is not supposed to be winning but is, then maybe it's time to give the enemy slightly more powerful ships to compensate for the lack of manpower to balance things up.

And the talk about more scripts slowing down the server, that is simply irrelevant as it is not directly related to the topic. You could say the same thing about all new proposed scripts, and the simple solution: either more donations for a better server, or optimize (optimize optimize).

Also:

Definitely no. It would just promote "we must win at all cost with minimum losses"

"Oh no, we might have to use actual tactics??? What sorcery is this!!! Real inRP military don't use tacticz!!!! And if we use tactics then the enemy might have to use tactics which will ... somehow make the game less fun?"

This is not a competition who wins over who. It's participation in active game environment.
You are an actor. And actors don't win or lose over some other actor. They just play their roles.

Then you might wanna add auditions and make this a passworded stage, because actors play their roles as they should for money. We as players play the game for enjoyment. And seeing your in game actions have the tiniest effect on official lore, for me at least is enjoyable.
