Roleplaying Nomads

[NonSequitor]

This question is a sincere one, and not a disguised attempt to level criticism at anyone in particular.

Why the restrictions with role-playing a Nomad?

The way I understand the situation on this server, if you want to be a true Nomad, you have to jump through some proverbial hoops to prove your worth.

What makes Nomads so unique, so sacrosanct, that a player has to submit his or her ability to roleplay properly to a 2nd party? Not to mention that being an independent Nomad roleplayer is out of the question entirely.

I have my own speculations.

Maybe there is a fear that players will want to become uber pwnzer players with access to all the kewl nomad toys. Thus the incentive to play a Nomad would be, for the most part, in attaining hardware and blasting just about everyone with it.

Then again, you see that in many other factions. If a player runs his or her Nomad oorpishly, than report it or deal with it ingame. I don't see a problem here, at least not an insurmountable one.

Peace.
