To be or not to be?

[Apex]

If ever I'm told that someone is setting up a character, I treat that character as if it were not part of the Id system. You might want to take in mind that a stage in the career of a member of the XA is to upgrade from the blazers to the serpentis wings, wich means, that after playing their character, in a ship with a loadout that is quite possibly level 40, they then need to travel somewhere else for the elite VHF or bomber that their new Serpentis will use.

That sort of thing happens with many, many characters, who are upgrading or somehow changing their ships. If a player has declared themselves out of the roleplay, and is not interacting, or is not interacting, and then declares to you (hopefully all declarations will be made in private chat) then they are not in the roleplay, and it is the gentlemanly thing to ignore them.

I dunno, suppose the more you play and learn, the better you can deal with situations as they unfold, for the most part not haveing been given the same curtousy on several characters, maybe makes it hard for me to give the same. When I tried to explain things, I was only greeted with rule quotes, proper RP manerism's and that they where only being in character, that getting equipment or fixing your IFF wasnt thier problem, threats and or death. Oddly though, I made it happen and it wasnt on a silver platter. Giving easy travel , so you can upgrade your ship, get better weapons or so you dont have to fight for what you are inevitably later gonna turn against the people your asking safe passage from ? Dunno, sounds nuts to me.

Theres often more ways then one to get somewhere, especially if it involves passing thru hostile territory though for some factions, such as this case just about everywhere would have been hostile. In a way I understand the guys frustration, been there done that kinda thing, but again no one showed me the same, they actually taught me to do the very thing I did. And if this is a general exception to the rules a unwritten " Gentlemans code", I think it could lead to massive misuseage for safe travels to get what you want.
