PvP = RP - I was ganked

[Thyrzul]

It will never cease to amaze me how closed-minded and selfish people in this community can be. It's as if half of you consider the other players in game to be just the supporting cast of characters floating alongside your own personal bubble.

[and the rest]

Quite ironic and hypocritical to see that from you. From a lot of those advocating gameplay and fun over RP, ignoring that some of us may be here for the RP, that for some of us RP is the fun.

Quite hypocritical when I propose a possible middle ground, and all the responses following are mockery of it such as "ok, my RP is that my char is an ace pilot, you are obliged to die now because muh RP", or that no matter who or where you are, you should provide fair play.

I mean I could be just like you folks, arguing for my own absolute, the total opposite end of the spectrum, that no matter where you are, you should be prepared to have your a$$ ganked like there is no tomorrow, because that makes sense inRP. But I don't. Instead I try to look for a common ground to possibly please both sides of the conflict. Expect to be ganked when you assault one's home, but you can rightfully cry if you got no fair fight in neutral/contested space. I haven't seen anyone commenting anything valuable and sensible to that ever since I posted my proposal on the first page, we are at five pages now.

Don't you realize that while speaking all about "consideration of others' fun", you end up no better than what you think of the other side of the arguement? When will you consider the fun of those who enjoy getting immersed into RP, including that when one's character is threatened at home, they may defend themselves at all costs?

I am proposing a consensus: in some places of the game, neutral, contested space pvp, gameplay, fairplay is to take precedent, such as general Tau, Sigma, Omega, Omicron sectors, non-Core worlds, non-Capitals, non-Homeworlds. In other places, home bases, systems, RP immersion is to take precedent, such as Faction home worlds, Capital systems, or if no clear home system is designed, then vicinity of home bases, like a 10k around them or such.

The aim of this proposal is to allow room for both groups to have fun without any debates like this arising. So can I expect all of you folks to grow a pair and discuss the issue in a mature manner, obviously considering others' fun at least a little bit more than how you used to claim before? We RP-ers understand that we aren't the only ones here to have fun, would you please be so kind to do the same and understand that you aren't the only ones either, so in the end we can have fun together?
