How is this kind of RP allowed?

[Lemon]

Houses are portrayed as evil because people (read: humans) have a tendency to support the underdog due to our nature. It is why we have an average of 10 well written unlawful characters vs 2-3 lawful ones by comparison. And that's perfectly fine, because every story has an antagonist. The problems arise when said antagonists get treated less as players and fellow human beings and more as individuals that are somehow sympathetic to a number of ideologies I shan't name.

Alright, that's a fair take, although I don't think being called names inRP by your enemy is much of a big deal, I very much expect that, call me thick skinned I suppose. But I guess that it's totally understandable that newcomers may not get the whole picture and may take it personally, I've seen it happening already.

Well thing is, that badly written story that's frankly sort o nonsensical and just made so that Penn's will inevitably become independent was ignored by all active players who kept roleplaying with Zoners - there was confusion with the Fascist stuff etc. It was over the top really. Called that by actual enemies? Sure. By ships that just roleplayed with you and are white rephacked just because of low quality story posts nobody asked for? Too much yeah, new players were actually put off a bit.

But like with anything you can vote with your feet - the Penn arc is ignored largely, hauling Zoners left alone, I don't think there was a single cargo runner interception yet by anyone - don't like something ? Ignore it, it's just a game, nobody can force you to do nothing really, you invest your own time.


Same with reactions to posts like the "leak" there were some good points about Sirius wide Comms being practically close to impossible - by responding you validate the premise in a way, you partake so to speak.
