Fairplay vs Roleplay

[chovynz]

I deffinately have to say fairplay. It's not fun when you got an order Osiris breathing down your neck while your trying to fight two Xenos in their Eagles. My poor Liberator doesn't deserve the punishment it gets. I'm happy to go up against multiple fighters in my Liberator, but sometimes even large transporters can be a handful.

Sky I'm going to use what you said as an example, but this post isnt directed at you specifically.
Shy's post is a good example of what I mean. I find being chased by overwhelming numbers and successfully escaping - fun.
Fun is subjective. I AM that little guy who runs into superior forces many times.
I also have fun just stopping in space and googling at everything around me.

You can't define someone else's fun. This kind of split into fairplay and roleplay doesnt work, why?
Because fun is different to two people, and different depending on each others mood and time available.
Add more people and you have different varieties and gauges of what "fun" is.
Expect to die in this game. It's a given, the only variable is "how?" and "when".
What you should be concentrating on is ROLEplaying, not fairness. Yes give the smaller/newer guy a chance. Thats not "fair." That's compassion. But dont lose sight of what this server is about by harping on about "fairness". To concentrate on fairness is to miss many other RP opportunities.

I don't think fairness comes into it at all. Seriously, ROLEPLAY and life itself is not so black and white.
Stop looking for formulas of "Fun" and enjoy the moment instead. Enjoy that place where you ARE right now.

It'll save you alot of grief and frustration.

Seek fun and you shall find it. Seek stuff to Q_Q about and you'll find that, too. I choose to have fun.
