Rule 4.1

[ScornStar]

Does -ANYONE- have a defense for keeping that part as is? Let's not get into specific revisions yet, but is there -ANYONE- who actually thinks it is good to have as is?

I know this is against the grain BUT,

I think we should just have our one account anwith our 5 characters and be happy with that. Multiple accounts allow the possiblity of reengagement, or watching one faction while playing a none enemy and waiting for the best time to act against another of your factions enemies suddenly. For example lets say for arguements sake(forget the politics its only an example) a Keeper was leaveing Alaska, well then all of a sudden a bunch of liberty log off when it gets out of their ZOI and Log on as Order, then the Keeper heads to Kappa and the same folk log off and log on as Corsairs, all will have their RP for interdicting the Keeper but I feel it leaves a big window open for the metagamer to exploit. It gives you the option if you cant handle something one way you'll handle it another, and its harder to have believeable RP if some one just logs on with a preconcieved notion to do something.

Additionally many have suggested in various threads to place certain items in guard systems to prevent unnatrual proliferation. Allowing people to have as many character in as many System owning faction as they want will defeat that notion for everyone who knows where the guard systems are. RP can be written to explain any ambition I can write an RP for a Cardamine breathing, Outcast hunting, Scorpion gunboat flying, Unioner, in Britonia, if I really wanted.

And with the removeal of this rule That becomes very possible with some transfers. If the criuse rule is important enough to keep despite its restriction on RP then this is too.

Beside the more characters you have the thinner you spread your self and the less quality you have for your RP if your faction gets boring then DO something. Not just long on and grab another character that has ready made action or conflict near by. This is how factions that should be extinct continue to exsist while not being around for anything but fights. Faction membership should not be a whimsical thing. If you bounce from faction to faction as the mood suits you then your just a independent with alot of different team colors.

In fact its because of this, that there are so many factions that should have went the way of the dinosuar but, continue to linger. Thus in the faction request forums the phrase there are "too many already!" gets use unjustly squashing the new ideas that may or may not be good from ever growing. Some of those folk might have ideas like Sienfield and sound like crap at first but grow into something interesting(I'm going by rateing). Removeing this rule allows some folk to get their fingers into more pots and control more of Discovery politics and make the game theirs not ours.

I know this is not a popular view point, and I may have accidentally stepped on some toes so, I'm sorry.
Of all the rules that need to go and I'm normally the one saying LESS rules, this one needs to stay. To some it in one word. METAGAMEING. No ones perfect, let not make it legal and condoned to do this, even if it is next impossible to enforce.
