Announcement Regarding Rule 1.2

[St.Denis]

Well to be frank, I have been running a one-man siege killing off a truckload of traders each time they log. I think that's just fine, but it might create some butthurt. That butthurt might theoretically evolve to tears, and those tears might tug the heartstrings of some admin that thinks he has the full picture and goes on a whiteknighting spree. And then I might get hit with the hammer. Before that, I was running a more or less solo-campaign against the 27th, and before that I was on the RNC side against [LN]/LNS and witnessed how several admins were unbelievably biased. I don't know any of the current admins, but rumour has it that the current team is more chummy than those of the past, and thus less balanced. I would not be surprised, but I don't know. In the light of that, the above statement of "our word is the law, and we'll mess you up even without a shred of evidence" is sketchy.

This thought I will have every time I log in. On the other hand it is my firm belief that I am doing the server a service by playing the antagonist, because if we all do the same activity, there is no reason to play. So yes, I feel guilty for playing douchebag characters, but on the other hand I think someone needs to do it. And also I think a lot of the power-hungry, money-grubbing, base-supplying power-traders are really detrimental to gameplay, but the post above makes it clear that these aren't the intended targets for this "reminder".

There is the main problem, highlighted in green, you are exclusively killing, in your words, certain Traders every time they log. Isn't this a bit excessive? Attacking them every now and then would be perceived as within normal Gameplay, but doing it everytime they log just shows that you do what you want be have little regard for the enjoyment of the others.

How are these people, and I assume they are grouped together, detrimental to Gameplay?

I take it you dislike Base Builders and the people who RP around their Bases. And somehow you have decided to go on a one man crusade to put all the perceived wrongs right. This Game is for multiple people to enjoy and not just one person or a small group's gratification at the expense of others.

Not everyone is interested in shooting others and if that is all you are interested in then there are others that enjoy that side only. So why don't you go and play with them?

Your second paragraph just seems your way of justifying it to a) yourself and b) others. I just feel the need to let you know, and I am sure others feel the same, that you don't have to do this for me as I could enjoy the Game just as well, or even more so, if you didn't go on this one man Crusade.
