Pirate ID

[Baltar]

Anyway... If it wasn't Liberty. Seriously that you want to try that in Liberty of all places? I see more grievances coming from this than anything else. It's difficult enough to do regular RP in Liberty. Trying to do extraordinary RP there is an exercise of frustration. Not to mention you'll likely gather some ten reports a day for flying a military ship under a pirate ID. Again, a suggestion, at least lose the tag. It will get you in less trouble.

Another issue ... since we're talking about New York and the home of noobie central. New York is where all the new members of Disco start. What would a noob think when he undocked from Manhattan and saw mb52's character? He'd see a mix and match ID, IFF, Ship, guns, etc. He's think cool ... I can be "whatever" I want. Now we've got yet another noob problem where they don't know the difference between RP and OORP. Congratulations ... we've just made role play so complex that its no longer distinguishable from PVP.

Eh the only way into the wilde is to join the official faction. The official Wilde faction are reinlanders.... you hear me?

Before calling me an OORP player do a bit of research please....

Keep in mind this will be only a fighter....
Edit- while I agree Gronath, this particular character is already well established in a current story I've been writing and is to become a "reoccurring" villain of sorts. Likely operating in only Alaska and maybe other nomad systems. Its not like I just got up and decided to make a nomad. The story has led to it and it was in the master plan when I started over 6 months ago.

Though you may be right to lose the tag, might save some trouble.

Hey ... do whatever you want ... everybody else does. Oh ... and I do hope you practice what you preach. You see someone else doing something "unique" ... you'd better be ready to accept it without complaint. This cannot be one-way. If you get to be unique ... so does everyone else. Like a Liberty Rogue who's not really a Liberty Rogue but carries the Liberty Rogue ID because there is no ID for what he actually is.

Not to flame, but the above boldened statement sickens me. Role play is just that - playing a role. Now, defining role, it doesn't come out to 'generic NPC across the board', it comes out to 'a specific niche that a character fills'. If this character's purpose is to be infected, then hot damn he's completely in role play. Now, with the new regulations, he has to get it approved, but still, broadly calling someone ooRP before you see the story, before you see anything other than the ship/tag/ID, is a case of the worst ignorance.

Too late ... you've already flamed me. Congratulations. Shall I fire a volley in return and we go down the path of hurling insults?

Role play according to THIS server. Um ... isn't the point to Disco that we maintain the "original" story line? Oh well ... pretty soon this server will have nothing in common with the original story ... oops ... too late.

I got an idea ... Liberty Rogues are no longer a criminal element. They've given up crime and have become prominent members of the Liberty government. Now they maintain all the red tape you go through to get a license to fly. Oh ... and those customs forms ... yeah ... need em in triplicate.

I do hope you understand this was sarcasm.

But what you fail to recognize is that the admins have already declared this type of request is auto-denied. Not to mention this specific request mb52 wants is expressly forbidden by the rules. Its black letter law and ... um ...ahem ... the rule specifically calls it OORP.

Here it is again if you failed to read it before.

6.2 Out of Roleplay (OORP):
In-game tag seen before the name must match the ID as closely as possible. It is not allowed to have the tag not match ID category. For example, it is prohibited to have 'Police' tag and 'Pirate' ID.

Equipment used must match tag and ID as closely as possible. For example, it is not allowed for Corsairs to use Outcast ships and guns.

EDIT: What he's asking for is the ok to break a rule. Kinda like someone requesting permission to adjust the speed of their ship by modifying one of the files ... you know ... the modders that tend to get banned.
