A message from above?

that is the problem we face... most of the factions that have no capital ships originally have a shipyard only in the guard system, cause its the custom made system. - so by that logic, they can restrict all ships build, cause they are indeed all build in the guard system.



same logic applies to other institutions - like the seat of the goverment. - so if a factions seat is in the guard system, it would be logical that they can govern over the whole zone. - thats up for debate, if having a shipyard really includes ships that may be build there, but sold in a public system.



while i found the idea of putting capships into guard systems a good idea... i am not 100% sure anymore about it. with the current statement "from above" that gives the owners of guard systems a lot of power. - about whats crappy RP. its been subject of discussions all the time and for months or longer.... and no one can say whats good and whats bad RP anyway. - one may say what roleplay is to be expected from a faction member, but cannot say anything about roleplay that is unexpected. - i am not including the people that show no sliver or understanding of RP at all. - but i mean those that have an idea of RP, but their RP idea doesn t meet the general opinions.



that includes people that are not in close contact with others for example. ( like skype ) - people who like to make stories about defection, extrodinary characters, char histories with surprising turns and twists etc.



common sense makes you think that a reasonable regulated use of warships is something positive. but only regulated by a totally unbiased force. jealousy, dislike or friendship and forgiveness play a vital role in decissions made by players. for some more for some less. there is also a reluctance to admit a wrong decission. - actually i have rarely seen anyone ( admins or players ) admit to have made a wrong decission at all - even if the decission appeared to be sort of ... questionable. this point concerns me in particular - the ability to reflect ones mistakes and take the blame - if appropriate of course and the ability to evaluate new situations of the same matter after some time to see what changes have been made and revise the decission.



anyhow, right now, the authority used is fine - but what i am missing is a logfile with the reasons why someone was rejected. that should be done, so people can work on it. and when they worked on it, their case should be reviewed again. - when this is done, there is no reason that authority goes to players-even authority over the whole ZoI
