My thoughts concerning factions/Indies and other such stuff.

[song]

Shigeo, Not very often. Leaders of Nations dont change very often. Directors of Secret organisations based on UN politics shouldn't either.

Well sure they do--every presidential election. Many high military offices are appointments and change with every new administration. When I was in the Navy, we got a new ship captain and fleet commodore every three years.

I don't understand why people who dont want to be told what to do
(i.e general Indie) join a faction (Player or computer) that has a
basis in "chain of command."

Ok...

I'm going to send you a list of things I want you to do that represent what I consider good rp.

If you don't do them, I'll start posting and inferring about how your unwillingness to be reasonable is whats killing the server.

I'll get some other players I'm tight with to join in with me and if you post back in your defense we'll talk about how sick we are of hearing the same argument from you and say why don't you just do what I say and stop being unreasonable.

If you question my authority, Ill tell you I'm older than you and have played rpg games before you were born and state that your opinion doesn't carry as much weight as mine does.

"Bad indies are ruining the game" so, we have to "Do what factions tell us"...non sequitur.

Again--I have no problem with players rping whatever they like for themselves--and I should be able to with the same freedom.

Make it a rule that "a" faction is in charge of a particular faction and fine.

Its unfair to say all the arguments on forum are attempts at forcing factions to change their rp. Not going along with a faction's rp isn't the same as forcing them to change their play.

If "bad indies" are ruining the server (no more, no less than bad factions imo) then who decides which factions are in charge? So far they have. Self appointed.

Explain what is wrong with structuring things so no one "declares" themselves king? That doesn't do away with order or forming a unified military--it just structures it--instead another player telling me I "have" to accept their structure.

I really am not getting how talking about leveling the playing field and instituting a non-biased structure is construed as, "You are a server hating instigator of chaos and bad play!".
