Are we killing Discovery?

[ryoken]

WOW, I just read 50 posts in this thread and this is what I got out of it:

The whole spectrum of a well balanced argument from many differant points of view.

This is what makes a community!!! The GOOD, the BAD, and sometimes the UGLY. IMO Disco is going through a growing pain. I am new here. Only been with the Server since the end of March. Got online and lifted from Manhatten in that Starfea for the first time. Rose to orbit to find about 20 ships outside of all levels. Checked the system com and counted 45 in New York. Said "Hello New York" No responce. Did a quick trip arount the NY race track listening to the system chat. Herd about the Forums. Logged off and spent the next few days going through the forums. It was my feeling that from when I started to the end of May there were quite a few Indies in game. From about the first of June till now there seems to be a large influx of people on the server.(summer break or some such stuff) I'll be the first to admit that when I first got here my RP is not the best but I hope I am coming along. I am more inclined to watch and listen and I think the following (correct me if I am wrong):

Discovery 4.84 is a great mod. (thanks Igiss for putting it all together and on a server and all who helped him.)

The Server Rules are what we have as a Guide for playing.

The great ADMINS are the Judges and/or Mediators of the Rules. (Thank YOU for your time)

The Factions are composed of those that wish to take RP to a higher Level.

The Indies are either those that are trying to learn the system and RP accordinaly, those that wish to be a subset of the Factions, wish to stay independant with no loyalty to any faction and may be a trade or communication conduit to nuetral or waring factions, or are just PVP players with no RP.

It is my opinon that if a player is playing a Faction subset ie. House legal or outlaw ID and tagged, should also have the responsibility to at least follow the factions lead. As far as the orginally post is concerned, I feel that if there was a good RP reason to enter Z21 being already tagged and ID'ed as an LSF should have been 2/3 of the RP.

Ladies and Gentlemen this is a game. (One heck of a good game) Lets not be stiff about it and have fun and say hello once in a while.

Edit:

Well said. Better then alot of the vet's.
