New York Rules

[marauder]

Why should you intervene?

There currently is no player faction RPing as the liberty house goverment, so why would anyone want to defend liberty?

I've been in systems 'controlled' by a player house faction (as a phantom) and never had to defend myself against the faction members in that system, and yes I flew right past them with several police patrols trying to chew my butt into scrap.

Sometimes I like to be able to blast NPCs without worrying if a player is gonna come along and shoot me in the back, that is why I occasionally hit NY.

If what happened in NY occurred everyday then yeah I admit that there would be a problem.

I've seen pirates/terrorists working together with lawful faction members to cream a BS patrol or just randomly blasting BHG patrols into dust infront of manhattan.

Manhattan, and NY, are like a bar open to all where players who are in different factions can sit and talk or make friends with people where their faction RP usually demands they shoot them on sight.


If someone logs on and decides they want to be a pirate/terrorist they can launch from manhattan and start getting the right rep straight away.

However with your idea they'd have to go to colorado, california or texas to do so, where they can be hit by stray fire from players dueling/fighting etc.

Plus you can't enforce this rule without watching what everyone does while in NY, so unless we set up some kind of server police, which wolf has already veto'd on at two occasions, I can't see how we can enforce this rule without getting loads of threads about who did, or did not, break the rule.

I think we have enough flame threads and posts without coming up with rules to create more.
