Ending the Capship Issue(and more)

[Akumabito]

The Disco Community made offical factions that Roleplay as the governments of each houses, as we all know...the NPC's are dumb.

Show me in the rules where my indie outcast, for instance, is under control of the outcast factions.

He isn't.

Just because I fly XID doesn't make me a member of faction X, and no matter how much faction X leader hates that I am not under his control, I'm not under his control.

And that's how the rules are. Now that's also why we have these big headed faction leaders trying to boss everyone around, but that's just the way some people are, no respect for anyone else.

All of you that so call fight for all the indie cap ships out there.

When was the last time you jumped into a VHF and flew around gamma/delta/kappa?

I fly a HF and a LF all the time, the so called problem isn't a problem at all, it's a very occasional event blown way out of proportion by clan leaders who are resentful of the indies, and that have no respect for anyone but themselves.

The biggest problem on the server are the clans who only want to fight when they have you outnumbered.

Plus, the only guy I've seen blatantly breaking the four hour rule was a clan guy who came back to the same fight in another ship (same character name) following a server crash. When I asked him about he said a clan leader gave him permission to.

The Alhambra has been killed twice. Once as part of a pre-arranged RP, and that time above when she was dockraped by, as I discovered shortly thereafter, four Osirises (I'd only seen two of them, but I figured the other four had to be Osirises or Bombers, by how fast I died).

Ah, so you were killed by indies and that's what this is, a grudge being carried out on your part.

Hey, I was killed by 5 101st against my one corsair ship once. Maybe I should whine about that? Or does that qualify me to be a faction leader and pretend admin?

Now I concur that it should be done individually based on what an individual does, but most folks who lead factions have real life concerns that need addressing and as always real life is much more important than Freelancer. There isn't enough time in the world for them to take note of everything so they institute blanket actions that do catch some good RP'rs out.

Blanket policies are at their very core disrespectful.

Hey, there were probably some bad Japanese put in concentration camps in the US during WWII, right? I mean you couldn't expect the US government to check them individually could you? They were very very busy, right?

If you think it's your job to be the RP police, but you're too busy not to target good rp'rs with the bad (or simply the norm), then you can't do your job and you should step down out of respect for the good rprs you have persecuted.

But wait, your a faction leader so you are far more important than them, right?

Factions disrespect indies

Your right, factions do disrespect indies, and they seem to resent indies, perhaps because indies don't join them?

The server shouldn't be a place designed just for factions to have fun, and guess what, it isn't!

Factions are a minority on the server, and they need to deflate their heads a little and stop thinking they are admins and the arbitrators of what is and isn't proper RP.
