To state lack of roleplay is the reason for it’s destruction and then take an action that is not RP correct is amateur, especially for a Gov. The respectable members of this community calls it meta.
This places Discovery at an all time low if this action is tolerated. And no, this is a feedback thread. To tell us to cease is weak. Just because the feedback is not what you want to hear does not mean we, the players, don’t have a say. Shameful.
I will step in and give my own feedback, as I agree in the entirety of what @"Racerdude" said above. It's a shameful behavior, and this message signals "We've read what you said, we acknowledge it, and we'll do jacksh*t about it, please stop talking thanks".
I will give my own feedback then. As you might have noticed, I have a bounty of 250,000,000 millions on my project, Johnny's Office. It was before at 500,000,000. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but when the BAF 1iC, is also the 1iC of BHG|, and posts a bounty that was originally a bounty of 150,000,000 one-time kill, to ten times, 50,000,000 per kills, and suddenly, BHG| ships come straight up back from the dead and fleets of gunboats chases the only ship that's known, which is the character "Redemption", a VHF. It is basically a 10x killing of a single ship, a VHF, against hordes of Bounty Hunters players - and these are the friends of the mentioned 1iC of both.
So basically, I see it as embezzlement; taking the cash from the BretGov's bank, and putting it into the pockets of the one leading and his band of friends.
Now, enough about the conspiracy theorist part: it's literally harassment, and if you saw the latest update on the bounty, it got reduced to five times, 50,000,000 / kills. So my ship is still basically unloggable. The rest, however, is completely loggable. And honestly, it is a shameful move to simply disregard the roleplay I tried to do to justify the reasons behind it, and after being confronted about it, claims it's subpar after being asked the question of whether he considered the roleplay as "good enough or subpar?".
This inflexibility, and sheer compulsivity of feeling powerful parallels the POB discussion here. And I can only agree again with Racerdude, it is a shameful behavior from the part of BretGov. I believe the moderation team should step in-- oh sorry, I forgot that the moderator team doesn't deal with Discord affairs. :)
