Authority of Independents

[kingvaillant]

Ok ... throwing myself to the wolves. But I'd like some honest discussion here.

We (for the most part) accept that Liberty indies have the same authority as Liberty player faction members ... and the same with the other major factions.

-I would rather say, respect themselves. But no, they cannot have an equal authority as us. Otherwise they could change our laws to make them fit their needs, Start wars, Ban people from Liberty, etc. We don't want this, and an indie doing that would get OMGWTFPWN quite fast...
HOWEVER, he can enforce the law, as long as he does it right

When a Liberty Navy indie tells you to do something in Liberty space and you don't ... all of Liberty comes down on you.

-If you are speaking like if you were a mere civilian, etc talking to an indie... Then yes, IF and only IF the indie is following the RP he should (like enforcing laws, etc)
-However, if you mean an indie bossing around a factionnized player... Happens sometimes, but those who are tolerated doing so are "leading" in a respectful way and aren't imposing themselves too much. But sometimes you get those smacktards screaming orders in system chat, and treating you like crap... They die pretty quickly... Especially when they try to boss me around... I'm the second leader of the LSF, I doubt anyone beside an admiral or my boss could outrank me... he can give me orders if he wants, like in battles, if he feels like organizing the stuff go on, but at the second he stops doing it in respect, I will bash so hard, that the player will most of the time make a huge call for the WHAMBULANCE on forums.

When an Order indie tells you to do something in Order space and you don't ... all Order comes down on you.

Kinda the same answer as above, just replace words.

So ... question is ... would you not expect the same authority from other factions? Wouldn't you be expected to show the same respect for authority to other faction's indies?

:S I don't understand the question, may you restate the querry differently and elaborate it more?
