Ending the Capship Issue(and more)

[Unseelie]

Also, this arguement will never be settled. Some will still think factions are evillll!!!!!! and some will still think Independants are evilllll!!!!!!!!
The Outcasts are one of the favourite factions in Freelancer. When you have Outcast Battleships appearing in New York then you have a problem (Though it can be resolved by a bomber or two). You do not see BAF battleships appearing in NY though.
Bretonia has few enough people as it is, if the BAF had imposed restrictions they would've probably had a few less (Though the people who go to Bretonia are usually the more RP heavy people anyway)
If you had refused the BAF request then they would've killed you in the end. Outcasts just have to do it regularly.

This is true. I have encountered Dunkirks before doing things I found repugnant, and been forced to cut them down, though in at least one case, the whole thing turned out well. Tic is now a rather well respected member of the community, and he is not asking the corsairs to join up with the queen. (thank god) I'm sorry I came down so hard on Tic, it could have been better resolved, which is part of the reason I have never laid a hand on the Churchhill.

And I'm tired of the crap factions give me.

You tell me right now, I'm KOS by eppy and his boys because I refuse to register even though it makes absolutely zero difference how I rp whether I register or not.

In fact this policy has damaged beyond repair my QCO rp, and left a BS and two fighter in the position of protecting Bretonia despite the queen rather than for the queen.

Bullying from a person that I not only didn't agree to have as a faction leader, but frankly a person that I also have zero respect for is why I bought my outcast destroyer to begin with by the way.

Tell me right now how this bullying by factions is helping forum or server rp?
So what you're saying is that you support what you dislike because of fear of PvP whoring from eppy?

Guys, let me say, that in character, I have made no move whatsoever to change, bully, haras, or otherwise mess with either Kuro, Puff the Magic dragon, or the HMS Churchhill, and Akumbito left my faction, of his own will, because of my position on factions. It actually came as a shock to me.

My position is: since it is not against the rules to do so, we may demand whatever we like from indies, and we can take it because we're bigger, and more organized.
This was an orrp statement, and one of possibly 2 or 3 posts, other than this one, that I've made in this debate. Most of that not typing, I did because Akumbito was a member of my faction, and I owed him loyalty because of that.

My position, again, is an academic position, not my belief, I do not hold to the belief that that is how factions should conduct themselves. But I do believe that they are well within their rights to act in such a manner, just as it is within an indie's rights to ignore a faction. Indies are of course much smaller, and things will often go poorly once they have ignored a faction.
