But it would be nice having that lines in rules about IFF being inRP and ID being ooRP respectively. I mean, not leaving it to the human factor, butchering this concept as one sees fit in their subjective logic of things. I will elaborate why.
The thing is, not everyone are such thoughtful as we all may think. For my time being here, I've encountered several times when people were called out as Wilds just because their ID is stating said thing. Or, if not directly announced as the enemies of mankind, then instantly being suspected of having a squid inside them / being brainwashed. That's another sitation when a "covert" individual is behaving strange enough in specific context, but sadly, some people ignore it and I won't point fingers. Of course, a lot of folks are able to play along, some even not interpretating "Unknown" ship as something infectee-related when it comes in sight.
Not mentioning an occurance on our little "undercover gameplay" experiment, when a couple of players were writing in /s things like "What's your purpose here, Order vessel?". The question of "if the tag is inRP or not" is also an interesting one, but we are talking IFFs and IDs now. And in that regard - people thought that IFF was just ooRP bugged, and not showing what it's supposed to show and I can understand their confusion, even though covert ship was not related to Order neither by the shipline or mounted tech.
To conclude all said here, rules of Disco are sometimes seem so incomplete or, better said, lacking details, so it breeds confusion and misunderstanding. We need some clarification of IFF and ID existance and meaning inRP. Maybe, in a form of a rule clarification post and then linking it in "2. ID and Combat Rules", like it was done in regard of PvP-Baiting.
Mentioning that IDs do not exist inRP and that people should play along with IFFs and with RP of "covert" player would help a lot, bringing some quality of life to the both sides of the scene.
