Attention All Outcasts

[sovereign]

Ok--sorry to step in but I have a question

A player faction can set SERVER RULES--as in, "If you don't follow our faction's decrees we will have you sanctioned?

I agree with what your goal is here and I am not challenging you (I don't have an Outcast ship)--but how does this work?

Is this an authority given by admin or just one you are "claiming". I'm a bit put off by, "Give us your forum account or we'll have you sanctioned."

Am I misunderstanding this?

I think any faction can set "rules" as part of their rp and even try to enforce them on others--like piracy. But players always have the option to comply or resist without having to worry about it violating an official server rule.

Why is it different here and what keeps every faction from doing this?

Can LSF declare "no nomad weps in Liberty" and have people sanctioned for carrying them?

Thanks for the clarification.

The bit about sanctions refers to how most capwhores react to getting owned for buying an ooRP battleship- F1 and the like. They also tend to swear a lot, and rules lawyer about 'you can't restrict me' or 'lol ur outcast im outcast u get sanction for firing on me' bull dung. It isn't so much a threat as an expectation, the vast majority of people who won't respond well to this in-game probably deserve it.
