Liberty Navy [LN] Feedback Thread

[Sarawr!?]

I fail to see how a Navy Admiral making a public communication with the intent of denouncing a terrorist organization and their so-called nation, would in any way discredit the [LN] as an official faction. An individual character sharing a minor glimpse of her personal opinion, as part of a larger message calling for the denounciation of some Terrorists, and for them to surrender, is certainly not something that 'discredits' a faction from an OOC perspective, or even really from an inRP perspective.

This whole thing has blown up quite ridiculously, and I've already said AT LEAST a half dozen times by now, that if some organization wanted to try and bring inRP consequences to Rachel Baker over the comment that she made, I welcome it, although since her statement is not indicative of faction diplomacy or trying to alter faction diplomacy, and since her messages were clearly aimed at discrediting/demoralizing/denouncing a terrorist organization in a public manner, she can't really be called treasonous or something like that.

Oh and let's not kid ourselves here, as I mentioned previously this is a science fiction video game, one which is pretty 'light', at that, in most instances. Full of cyborgs, clones, drones, aliens, shadowy 'illuminati'-esque groups and so on...if you think that ANY of the military factions on Disco are trying to be "Realistic", you're sorely mistaken. The most "realistic" thing about most military factions around here is the rank structures.

Anyway whatever, the bottom line is this: My inRP communique was clearly aimed at discrediting/denouncing a terrorist group, and it did exactly that but it so happens that Rachel admitted that (GOD FORBID) she doesn't think her government is perfect, and that she doesn't think corporations having the amount of power that they do is necessarily a good thing; but that the way of The Republic was still better, and worth fighting for, and that she would do so.

Her actions were not indicative of faction diplomacy, they were not geared at CHANGING faction diplomacy, they were not indicative of Navy plans, they were not representative of the collective opinions of the entire [LN], they were not treasonous, and they were not unlawful.

Because of those reasons there, the leadership of the [LN] would not really have a reason to step in and say "Hey Sarah maybe don't do this RP ok?", we don't have a habit of stamping out individual roleplay within the [LN], so long as it doesn't interfere with/alter faction relations and/or diplomacy.

Anyways before I continue this any longer, can I just ask -- Since when have people in official factions been expected to limit their roleplay to cardboard cutout characters with no personality, who only do things that won't piss other people off?

@Tyria.Regalia, I saw that you brought up Bill Clinton, but I really fail to see the relevance. His affair wasn't illegal, and neither was he impeached for it, even though his opposition tried to accomplish that. He fully served out two terms as elected President, and he actually remains regarded by many as one of the best Presidents the United States has ever had, just thought I'd share that little tidbit, for what it's worth.
