Harvester

[ScornStar]

I'll say this. And I am a Harvester member myself, though I only make extremely rare appearance on server with it.
Our roleplay is in my opinion too minimalisitic. Not enough... details? juice? whatever it might be called. But it is rather hard to keep up, machines being after all, minimalistic.

unfortunately, to me the harvesters rp is too rough, not very satisfactory. Their words, too simple, their transmission are very hard to respond to (in my opinion, as they mostly comes down to status report), and from what I see (and here I take an external point of view), they seems to wander anywhere to destroy zoner without any form of territorial counciousness, striking anywhere they think fit. Considering their homeworld is within the edge nebula, I wonder why a number of Harvester warships goes as far as the heart of Liberty system harvesting Zoners there to resupply in immense battleship.

As of now, I have yet to hear any dialogue. I have encountered a number of Harvester, none of them broadcasting much more than mere status report. The only time I talked to one, it acted in a rather unintelligent way, while for as far as I know, a machine does know to calculate the risk of shooting down a liberty citizen right in front of a naval dreadnaught...

I actually have a great vision of the machine alliance, I am however very uncertain the others shares it with me. As of now, my stance toward official status is quite neutral.

Which number shoot down a liberty citezen in full view of a dreadnought? Kepp in mind there are many new ones. And yes minimulizm is my thing. I believe less is more. If our machines starts talking and thinking like veryone else then we are no different. I think what people like is they are dealing with what seems strange and alien. not just another player who says "meep beep I'm getting my can outa here!"

There fore some steps have to be taken to act different. And on disco that means for a machine to seem machine like it must be represented in a different way through text. We cant do vioce overs or sound effects. Therefore it has to be simulated in another way. Therefore I use as small and technically overstuffed statment as I can muster to answer questions like "how are you doing?" or "what would you say if I told you to drop them bounty hunters toaster?" My responces are like "This unit is at 100% operational capacity" or, "This unit is only able to comply with the directives of the FTGW intellect."

Also, we are human and not going to be perfect every time. I can if I wanted come up with a disappointing time for every faction I've encountered but, whats the use. You never know what they are doing on the other end of the computer of if they are in battle or if they are haveing a serious text with some one or if they just jumped, docked and, so on. RP in this setting cannot be perfect every time.

If I were to be the only faction wannabe to be held to the standard of perfect then that would not be fair. Additionally, you being a member and of high rank have your very complaint to heap on your own shoulders. If you see these problems then PM the Harvester in question and fix them or PM me with a number. If you see and say nothing except when the rest of us are trying to get official recognition thats not very nice or helpful. But I am training these new folk. Exspect that they be trained, its not easy trying to be the same.

Just consider those points friend.
