Quote:In the Bs| message dump and other threads, Order indie characters have reported about pirates and smugglers etc.
And as an Admiral in Bs| I have personally told these loyal indies that they should follow Bs| rules in Omicron 100 and destroy smugglers and the such. Nothing wrong in having indies follow the faction rules, is there?
And on a side note, I find it amazing how devoted the Order indies are to Bs|, I really respect them and enjoy their being there despite they're not in Bs|, it's a very nice touch to have, and I really like how some people stay in 100 and guard it, much respect to you guys.
Thanks scorch, I try. Despite being an Indy, I readily follow any orders from upper Bs| members when asked, and readily offer advice and jobs to newer/lower ranked Bs| members when they've got nothing to do.
I may not have the tag (and with good reason, I dont want to give up what I've worked hard for just to join a faction) - but I still work for black squadron directly, and I follow their rules.
Quote:<-- Who? Which of those posting is a member of Black Squadron? The member list is at the bottom of this post. For the most part this thread is dominated by you and me. I only see maybe one Bs| member posting here in support of you, SwissScorch. Not exactly a big turnout.
See swissScorch there? He's got at least four characters in black squadron and is one of their upper ranking members. I think only Dboy ranks higher than him as the faction creator.
Quote:Can't go by what's not written down. I can only go by what's posted in the faction status page and by what they have linked to the Black Squadron rules for Omicron Minor and Omicron 100. So unless DBoy changes that 30 second rule ... oh ... lol ... that's right ... you're not a member anyway.
Read the post right above yours, swissScorch has supported all of our actions against smugglers and traders in omicron 100, despite being independent of black squadron. this arguing really isnt getting you anywhere.
Quote:No ... you just want it your way. This isn't Burger King. You can get sanctioned if you have no role play behind your attack. If you are not a member of Black Squadron you cannot claim safety behind their rules. If a trader does not have contraband, you can't touch him. Black Squadron ... as a "recognized faction" ... has rules they follow for "Black Squadron's role play." You are not Black Squadron ... so your role play is that of a "traditional" Order character. And that means your only enemies and allies are on your Order info card. You really cannot have it both ways. You are either a member of Black Squadron ... or your not.
The second a player sets foot in omicron 100, they are considered a priority threat by the order - black squadron or otherwise. No attack that takes place in that system is OoRP - we're defending the order's shipyards and classified projects.
The people who are out of RP here are the cardamine smugglers who think they can set foot in one of the most heavily gaurded systems in the game with a load of 5000 units of cardamine and stroll through unhindered because "lawl, we're not on the order's enemy list"
