Attention All Outcasts

[sovereign]

its the old discussion - yet again....

i would say that the approach is OK - from my point of view. its no point blank denial of capital warships for independents. - its rather about receiving any kind of roleplay reason for them. - as long as it stays like that, its fine. - but once the "official factions" start giving out marks for a RP - or some are favoured before others for no aparent roleplay reason, but only cause of ooc friendship, such a model fails.

as an official faction, one must allways keep in mind that - only cause its a faction, doesn t mean it has more rights. - an official faction does have more rights in their purchased system - only there. - no matter how many official factions agree with each other. - the effect is that one side ( official faction ) rules over the other side ( independents ) - now, that is an unbalanced power... the independents have no power to do anything about it, other than point at the general server rules made by igiss.

another example is - what happened if the independents banded together and made a rule for the official factions not to use any bombers ( just an example ) anymore - or severely limit the numbers of those, or evaluate each official factions background story.

its an unthinkable scenario, cause we assume that official factions RP is flawless as opposed to the independents RP.

so - i think the idea is GOOD, - as long as RP is not evaluated and as long as no one is favoured before someone else, as long as the background story is of equal quality. ( and as long as its not a justification for the independents but only an information ) --- if this is respected, there is nothing wrong with the idea.

edit: - "we kill them over and over till they leave the server" is harrassment of the worst kind. i do hope such "last measures" are only to brag about, but not to be executed in any way.

Yeppers, this is what a few people have been trying to say but as usual you said it better.


IF PEOPLE RP, THEY WILL BE LEFT ALONE.


Is it that hard to digest? This fights the ooRP that isn't blatantly sanctionable- it is rather hard to prove a violation of ooRP, and the rule is enforced a little less than maybe it should be. The point is that there is a problem with VERY damaging ooRP Outcast capships, and ANYTHING that helps alleviate this while being

A) Not in violation of server rules.
B) Reasonable.

is FINE. Actually, its GREAT. Outcast attacking Outcast, well here's the rub- ever heard of traitors? Treason? Stuff like that? The Outcasts are quite possibly more powerful than any one house, as are the Corsairs, and seeing how much firepower their ooRP indies have they could easily wipe out the entire KNF without breaking a sweat. The in RP indies and the factions (who RP by the way, the leaders of the factions make sure of that- if they don't RP, they don't get into the faction) are comparatively few, unfortunately, and are doing what they can to make the server a better place for RPers. Don't tell me they just need to make it a better place, because that includes catering to PvP whores and ooRP idiots.
