[Event] An Exchange of Pleasantries + GRP ID Conversion (Completed)

[Sombs]

I'm not even sitting there and complaining. I'm ingame right now. I played all three roles already during that event. BPA/Corsair and Republican. All I say is I don't agree with shoveling money in billion style into lolwut-butts, no matter how new they are or not. The rewards, whatever they are, don't really mean much when you can earn billions in days.

Knowing the event from three views backs my arguments up. Feel free to disagree, but I'll still suggest constructive alterations to the event.

You do realize that your statements here provide the validation for people not wanting to be part of officialdom?

Your foundation of your expressed position is, "Official or lolwut". You make no attempt to be anything other than opinionated and arrogant, effectively demanding that the Admins FORCE people to be official.

I would point out to you that the server has a long and proven history of faction leaders making disposable characters to abuse people as "lolwuts" in an attempt keep their reputations untarnished.

I cannot even count how many iterations of this argument I have been subject to over the years. Officialdom as represented in this argument is nothing more than someone screaming, "Bow to mah authoratie!"

Please read only what I wrote and not what you want to read. There are good reasons for people to not be part of an official faction, I for myself avoid OPFs with two exception where I am in charge of certain things. I never said "Official or lolwut". However, OPFs are a good additional instance of regulation. People of official factions have to keep up a certain status. When they show poor behavior, it gets regulated. SOME of the current official faction leaders are quite capable of regulating their inferiors, and that is quite good.

Of course, some other are incapable of being role models. After all, Discovery is still a place where the person with the best connections wins - if you can call that winning. I fail at seeing where my statements provide the validation for people not wanting to be part of officialdom, though. First of all, it is about regulation. If that regulation provides the improvement of delivered quality, it is only beneficial. However, I think I pointed out how poor the quality delivered by certain player-mentalities is. When you end up sitting at critical points ingame either to see nobody is coming (because everyone switched the routes) or everything suggests you that even if you catch a smuggler, it has no meaning, then something is wrong, don't you think? I have highest respect for people like Steiner who were logging, patrolling and TLAGSNETing appropiately even without benefiting from the event itself.
