Roleplay ?

[chovynz]

I'm beginning to get a little saddened by all of this ... Roleplay used to be characterization, and not the
writing of stories to justify a choice of ship and loadout for PvP. So what happened ?
There are few compromises now, a lot less common sense, and attacks on those who's RP is a part of
Discovery's history.
We used to pride ourselves on sticking to the sometimes unwritten rules of conduct on the use of weapons
available where they shouldn't be, not using those we could almost justify with a little tinkering of reps and
affiliations. Now we seem have a race to grab the best out there, and then we have post after post trying to vindicate their mounting and use.
Post -your- excuses please ...

Going back to the original post (and the rest of the thread has been good too)

Maybe it's just me, but I think I'm possibly sensing some overload and "lashing out" recently
from admins. This is not a flame this is a questioning ... question-statement.

We have an influx of newbies who aren't RPing.
We have unfinished and unresolved "discussions" about weps and loadouts and ships.
We have rule lawyering.
We have people who should know better squabbling over things instead of playing the game in fun.

As a result we have some decently (IMHO) heavy handed sanctions, people getting
flamed left right and centre and other people getting sick off it all and leaving.

So, let me ask this. How can we move forward as a community? How can we resolve these
issues and get back to having fun together in the game?
