My thoughts concerning factions/Indies and other such stuff.

[Angelfire]

One day when I grow up I will not only be able to spell disambigous correctly, but I will also know what it means and not be insulted! hahahaha

Most unfortunately, faction leaders as well as Indies tend to misrepresent the principle from time to time... Admin intervention is the only convincing resolution in those cases and us arguing over the extremist transgressions is a pure waste of time.


After reading Laowai's brilliant sentiments, I must conceed that my theory holds no water here. We simply do not have a strong enough Admin presence to protect the underdogs. When it comes to the faction leaders having total power, this is a non-no. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

And even if there was a stronger presence, Hyoong Sung has put it perfectly:

'I understand why you say unilateral faction leadership should not be
roleplayed, but that does leave a large gap in the role play directions and
capabilities. It also doesn't make sense in the chain of command. There is
no two LSF's and there is no two RMs. The computer certainly cannot play
the leadership, so someone from the Disco community must.

And then no matter by what process that leadership is chosen, there will
always be people who don't like it and give the finger to whoever is in charge.'


@ Nooblet + Shiego.

If I could sum up that entire shpiel of mine in one sentence:

Why bother complicating something already complicated with unnecessary extra complications when the complication you are proposing breeds more complication than the experience is actually worth!
