I just think both sides - factions and independents - need improvement. Registrations and such should have RP reasons instead of being designed to root out OORP players. OORP players do and will exist for the life of this server. There will always be someone who doesn't have the time, patience or attention-span to roleplay to the level of the rest of the player base. There will always be newcomers who just want a mod to play on. If they are really OORP, these players should be reported or talked to (depends on the situation). However, you can't help/drive off everyone, and registrations don't help too much. There are still rampant Outcast destroyers in New Berlin. There are still Kusari/Rheinland independents going to places they shouldn't. There are still Corsair capital ships going around Sirius, etc. They can't all be helped, so take things on an individual basis.

My idea of a registration would be to simply have the player post. Like my Bounty Hunters Guild Registration. Sure, I see holes in some posters' RP. Battleships belonging to the Hunters section of the Guild, operating in Liberty, yeah. I don't strike their name off the list. I've just moved them into the Guild Core section. My reasoning for the "lax" nature of my registration is, if they put in the effort to look for my registration (after all I don't preach it in game) then they have managed to get onto the forums and experience them. They probably take the effort to look elsewhere here, in the roleplay hub for example. If the independents on my registration take the effort to register, then I simply assume they have the effort to roleplay and act reasonable to a respectable level in-game.

Now, onto the other side. Not all factions are bad as some say. I'm in a member of quite a few, yes, but I have more independents than factionised characters. Factions aren't just out there to be admin buddies or restricters of roleplay, in fact a lot of them try to include independents under their wings. I know the S/D likes to group with fellow hunters. The Gaian chat on Skype includes both independents and NLH members. Outcast faction raids often include independents, so I'm fairly sure that not every official group is out there to persecute.

Someone might pick out holes in this, saying my exampes are not about the factions which may (or may not, different perspective) persecute independents, but I personally can't see any. Apart from the Phantoms and SCRA, but that's entirely understandable. They can't be allowed independents so they have to drive them away.

Hopefully not as it is a good post.

Registration, if it exists, should be relaxed. Not register or die. It just does not work.

Edit:

You're welcome.

Really, I havent been paying attention to much of what you've said because i'm having to spend all my time writing up responses to the ridiculous arguments that keep getting spewed up by nooblet and akumabito.

My last response, since my last ones were invalidated some time ago as you were addressing Akumabito and not me, was some time ago.

Pray, do continue to call my responses ridiculous. However, I have shown that your faction restrictions will not work and will not be conducive to the server.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.
