What is to do in the server?

[Thyrzul]

Ummm no not really, the area we chose to work in seemed to be the best fit in all, and as for the long word thing..... tried saying it a few times without taking breath and...... well can't lol

No we have made it clear from the beginning that is NOT what we are after just a slightly more balanced playing field for the newer guys coming in. Never have we stated that we want to even own a system, we dont want permanent status we dont want to go all out against the server in fact if you read ALL my posts that is the complete opposite of what we are about.

But as stated, several times now, the original thread was about declining numbers and I am just throwing in my observations from our near 2 months on server, about how things may be made a little easier for the new guys without the outright hostility from the existing community.

As someone else said, it's the Internet- it brings all sorts together- how about a little tolerance & inclusion?

It's okay, it's just that you sounded a bit frustrated that you had to alter your original concept by a lot and that you didn't get the reward you thought of deservng, while to others said amount of effort might count as some sort of default when getting initiated into this community. You also mentioned a modus operandi I could find a good few factions more suited for it than Colonials. (idk what other faction you play.) Additionally you brought up a hypothetical scenario where it requires way more effort for you to confront a faction than to others, but that is quite logical due to many possible reasons and is not different in real life either. You should have already gotten used to things like geographical and financial differences of countries/nations. Given these I'm not entirely sure what your point is.

On an other note, judging by your "hit the proverbial nailhead" comment on Spazzy's thread I assumed you grasped the essence of what he tried to tell us, but then you asking for tolerance made me unsure about it. Spazzy's point was pretty much that two different types of players gather in here with different preferences than the others and that these preferences pretty much exclude eachother.

You got a bunch who came to roleplay because this is a roleplay server, and are annoyed by the "relaxed" folks because their behavior on the server and forums is immersion breaking, thus it ruins their fun. On the other hand you got a bunch who came to shoot the hell out of the other, because it's an arcade shooting space sim, the game is designed to be a mainly pvp game, and all these roleplay rules and the elitism of the other folks are obstacles in their fun. The two camps clash from time to time, because there is barely any compromise. Declining numbers can easily be the result of people bailing out of this conflict, roleplayers because of lack of roleplay, pvpers because hatred can result in ganks, and whatever other reasons you can find. And of course this game is old, and the influx of new players isn't what it used to be.
