Choosing a side: Metagaming and some issues

[Thunderer]

The force to destroy the SEI bases wasn't assembled by RP propaganda, that is true, but by an ooRP one. Someone called the SEI "powergamers", to which some people agreed, and voila, a fleet of Valors is knocking on their gates. There really is no way to prevent ooRP hate from being a cause to some important events. If that was done, it would have more cons than pros, as it would take freedom away.

I oppose about switching sides. If people made characters only for the faction they truly liked, the Bretonians would, for example, have nothing to shoot at and no major source of activity, because no one would want to make a Gallic character. And if we're talking that the game should look closer to what it is like inRP, then it would, on the contrary, be normal to be ganked by the GRN. The GRN are the most powerful force in Sirius and currently they are the most powerful in Leeds and Magellan, so it was very realistic that the SEI base was destroyed. In fact, it wasn't realistic to defend it, at least with battleships, as those would surely be lost. It was fun, though.

And that's the point. Fun. Freedom is fun, why limit it if it is generally not harmful? Generally, yes, but there is no perfect thing. What you've spotted was just an imperfection. However, POBs being doomed the moment the siege is declared, if the attacker can muster enough people due to ooRP hate, is an imperfection that can be fixed. Your proposal about those 7 days is worth consideration, by my opinion.

Also, can you shorten it a bit next time, please?
