{AFC}- ||| FEEDBACK THREAD

[nOmnomnOm]

As for the EEs, we got it becasue we proved the issue. That's basically what came down to it. Faction perk was denied first becasue "you are a freelancer/generic faction". I had to prove admins wrong basically. So every time someone tells me AFC is, I kinda cringe inside becasue all my hard work needs to be done again.

So I read the entire thing right now, and while I really suggest you to take a small break and not answer to this thread instantly every time someone posts here, and just make them wait rather than telling them to, which doesn't work as it pretty much looked like you have nothing to back up your latest things, I'm actually a bit confused. And a bit concerned about the way you respond to things, as it looks like you think the entire world is against you right now.

Anyway, independent from what Zelot asked, I'd ask you the same, because I don't get it rightly but want to understand it.

Is Newport AFC or Freelancer? Like, I know AFC uses Freelancer installations, but it's new to me that they control them, administrate them. Apart from me disliking the idea of a faction administrating a Freelancer station, I ask you to tell me where I can read up more about when Newport turned into an AFC station and when exactly the Admins "agreed" to it. Like, that sounds a bit taken out of context to me. Wouldn't Newport show up as AFC if it was AFC? I mean, sure, inRP I can claim everything, but having partially control over a Freelancer station and administrating it as a whole are two different things and I just can't befriend with the claim of a Freelancer station being AFC-controlled. That seems a bit, well, powergamey. So if you could provide me with the links that show both the background of AFCs expanding influence on Newport and the post where the Admins are said to have agreed on it, that would help me getting a better picture of it.
Like, I was really surprised about that. It simply means that a Freelancer who is claiming AFC kills on the NC- or .:j:. board can still happily dock at Newport with the only thing that may happens is AFC adding them to their own Bounty Board. Would annoy me to have people running around on my station that I actually bounty hunt.

And then, What is AFC now? Is AFC a Freelancer/generic faction or not? If yes, why do you say that's wrong in the part I quoted? If no, why trying to act as if Newport was AFC then, as it's Freelancer?

This is not to offend you, but I seriously wonder. Also, you might want to reflect your current forum appearance a bit. Like, it really looks like you're just trying to find personal/emotional attacks in what people wrote on the recent two pages, and it seems to me like you're desperately trying to, well, what you said in your latest post, make them look like jerks, while you may not realize that exactly that kind of behavior is falling back to yourself. I know, you have a troublesome time right now, with two pages of AFC feedback and people triggering you with oh-so-funny memes about the FR4 clarification - which even in my opinion is a good thing, I have to admit, as using FR4 in the latest cases always had something fishy about it, as it was rather used to provoke rather than to defend an event - but in cases like this is the sandwich rule overwriting every other rules and laws and rights.

The most important thing about this community is basically transparency, and being afraid of sharing clarificating information about things that look, without knowing the context, pretty powergamey, isn't the way to go, just as saying "I'm not going to tell" isn't. You could have spared yourself quite a lot of trouble and time with just telling how you back up your claims. If people start meta/powergaming their knowledge, be it the case or not, is their problem, as they make themselves just vulnerable to reports. You want to be on the safe side.

Firstly, It is not a powergamey move.
We had first posted a thread where we messaged to all freelancer in the area.
then we RPed the commodities to rebuild the base for renovations.
we contacted a lot of factions until we found samura which agreed to help in reconstruction
We got a nice commodity on that base which we'd like to 'protect'.
And then we even did some small Admin RP as well.

So basically to repeat again, AFC will never have their own IFF. That fact was shoved down my throat many times and Alley said it wont be because it will affect other servers as well.
Becasue of this, I still wanted to make do and try getting our own base. At the time, no one has used Newport and I took it as my goal to make use of the small station that no one uses and was just sitting there. It figured it would be fun.

I took it as a green light when the admins FR5ed us from GMG. The whole background was that we were Admins and were "building storage and expanding the base" due to them finding something that the devs added to the station. Their powergame on it and the Admin approval of this made me pretty sure that AFC is Admin of the station now. At the very least, a major part of it.

What is AFC now? In a perfect world, AFC would have their own IFF . The whole project from the start was to make a new presence in Sirius that had racing at it's base for fun activity. At the time, racing was popular and people were excited about it. It took me some time to perfect the sport, But it's pretty nice.
If I can kindly ask you to read my lore about AFC, that would explain pretty much who and what AFC is to you. It was already tough enough to bring it to words for a nice write-up, so I would appreciate you guys actually reading my work.

Your regard to the bounty thing is already pretty much able to happen. Since A/) and AFC shoot eachother, that already happens.
Hell... Outcasts ran to Barrier Gate Station with cardi and I had ran after them at one point.
it happens all the time.... well not all the time becasue FL bases are usually remote.... but yeah.
