My thoughts concerning factions/Indies and other such stuff.

[Darkwolf475]

If the admins instilled some sort of structure as you suggest, I'd have no problem with this.

The problem is when factions take it upon themselves to act as if they are the admins--they aren't--and then try to threaten everyone who doesn't comply for not obeying them like an admin. I don't mean they chose a hard line rp and stick with it--I mean demanding compliance and threatening to spoil the game for those who don't obey.

That's what makes "indies" hostile to clans.

You haven't seen an indie complain because clans will not submit to his view of rp and play as he directs them.

People who demand power with threats should never have it.

I completely agree.


I believe that indies are pilots who chose to join the npc faction rather than the player faction. As such player faction rules/choices/guidelines don't apply to them because player factions don't have control over the npc factions. As long as the pilot RPs within their npc faction's role than who cares? And if the pilot doesn't than bring it up here on the forums and work to resolve it. Don't just declare him hostile and proceed to KoS him.
