Mercenary - RP rules.

[Tenacity]

Some people hold onto their roleplay rules like its their bible

It isnt the rules, it's the roleplay.

The order is naturally suspicious of EVERYONE. They're hunted or considered terrorists by most factions across sirius, the bounty hunters constantly pound Omicron minor with swarms of fighters and destroyers (Npc or otherwise), we've got liberty peeking their head in every day either trying to start trouble or provoke us, and on top of that - by rp - everyone that isnt an order agent could be infested (hell, even order agents could be) by nomads.

Taking a weary/aggressive approach towards someone who isnt an immediate ally is normal for the order - and if you come in dressed up like one of our enemies, whether you are one or not, we're very likely to terminate you right then and there.


EDIT:

oh and about that 'reporting to an admin' thing... I only report players if it's a serious server rules infraction; I.e. docking on a clearly hostile base, using mods/cheats, swearing extensively, or going on OORP rants in system chat.

It's more of a hassle for me to report things like this than it is to just chase them out of the system or blow them up if they refuse to leave.


EDIT #2:

And one more thing - dont expect everyone you meat in-game to have read everything you've posted on the forums. I 'troll' these forums probably more than most players here - I spend more time here than I do in the game - and I still havent read everyone's story or know everyone's character backgrounds.

Everyone I meet is treated with what I deem to be 'standard protocol' (on my order character, anyways). If you're not a corsair, zoner, or order pilot - I'll ask you what your business is in order space, and if you dont give a good reason you'll be asked to leave the system. If you refuse to leave the system, you will be shot at and terminated, whether you claim to be a nuetral or an ally.

As an example - if I see hogosha in omicron minor, they better start explaining themselves. I honestly dont care if they're associated/allied to the order indirectly through the corsairs, they have no business in omicron minor or omicron 100. Hogosha in those systems are -way- out of their zone of influence, and unless you're there on diplomatic terms or to procure equipment, you'll be chased out of the system.

Another example - if I see a liberty/bounty hunter player in either of those systems, I probably wont even bother chatting, it's straight to the attack once i've scanned your ID. There are situations that warrant otherwise however - like the two liberty gunboats in omicron minor today who helped us take out some keepers that had invaded the system; but both of them were ordered to leave the system after the keepers had been dispatched, and I would have had no problem opening fire on them if they had refused.

And another - if you're a smuggler trying to use omicron minor / omicron 100 as a 'shortcut' between liberty and omicron alpha or any other systems, and I seee contraband in your hold, you can consider yourself dead. I wont ask for 'tax', I wont warn you and shoo you out of the system, I'll destroy your vessel with extreme prejudice and probably blast your escape pod as well. Smugglers are not at all welcome in order space, and we've had far too many of them trying to get through 100 lately.
