Zone 21/Alaska

[Unseelie]

Guys, as far as the rules go, I've got to say, until I see an admin statement about the rights of such a faction to be the actual head, I don't believe your rules argument. Myself, looking at the RM, with its heavily admin based leadership, I seriously doubt they made such a statement, or hold with that belief.

Alaska is strange, in regards to the guard system debate, I'm considering it a guard system...but then, I'm considering LSF to be THE lsf, and Sniper's character to be the director of the LSF...hence, the head of the chain of command for anyone bearing the LSF tag and ID. Thats my oppinion, and nothing I have seen here has even attempted to change it.

People who disagree with me, and play LSF not part of the LSF player faction, well, I don't understand what you are trying to roleplay...Do you think there's a director to the LSF, and sniper is his underling, heading only a specific section of the LSF? Do you think the KNF, the RM, the SA, etc are not? (QCRF is a specific faction of the BAF, but this does not mean I'm not the absolute head of command. I'm the Admiralty Board, which runs the whole damn thing. The Monarch is a member) If you are playing that game, you're not playing the game I'm playing...not playing the game most of the community, if I may be so bold, is playing.

There's been discussion about the RP, or the oorp, of someone shooting a member of their own faction....but, what if that person is delusional, or some sort of extradimensional dopplegaanger? Its really the only way I can fit your rp into my rp if you refuse to accept the world I'm rping in.

Faction/indie...well, I don't really believe in that debate. I see a few people trying to rp, and getting rubbed the wrong way by other people rping...and at least for me, it isn't a rules debate. Honestly, its starting to seem petulant.



I reacted poorly to a faction expressing its authority, once. I had a train, my first train, and I had just bought it. It had GC tags and ID, but had not once attacked a npc...let alone pirate anyone. So when a pair of capitalships tore my little train apart, I cried. I really cried. Then I got angry, and for months, I earnestly tried to destroy that faction. I ran people out of this community, I alienated someone I very much respected, and I was very proud of myself. Its something I very much regret. I forgot about the community, and created my own private war. Stop before you get there.
