Laowai admin poll

[chovynz]

And further more, a singular event as it may be, it demonstrates to what leagues the aforementioned individual is willing to go to "mess things up" for another faction, which makes it quite relevant to this discussion.

It's a forum, after all, and this thread is here to discuss why he should, or should not, become an admin.

Please explain clearly how he powergamed.
Because I saw that RP develop and it was after months of ingame roleplay.
He was in disguise and roleplaying a corsair spy quite well. No body else picked up on it.
That's not his fault.

He did not spoil the OC-Keeper relations. He did it all ingame with no "OORP" things that I can see.
Other people got upset about it OOC, and twisted the meaning and intent.

This is what I was talking to you about before. People do things well within roleplay and others get upset about it OOC.
Playing a spy is certainly within roleplay, and if nobody picks up on it then that is not the roleplayers fault. It is not powergaming.

What is metagaming and powergaming is taking something like what Laowai did, and getting upset about it on the forums, without dealing with it in-game. It's the political BS that goes on OOC when things are done ingame, and people squawk about it on the forums without understanding what is really going on. Without asking questions, by assuming stuff. Just like so many people have OOC assumed that there is a Keeper - OC alliance. There isn't, and never has been.

The corsairs INGAME were following up and gathering information INGAME on the suspected alliance. And from their findings they assume there is because "groups" dont exist INGAME, but the evidence INGAME, was that the nomads were flying nearby and joining in with OC battles, against Corsair battlegroups and home space. All things from my point of view where done properly and in order and INGAME.

OOC. I can tell you that there is no alliance. But the Corsairs think there is, which is a good roleplay aspect. It just adds another burning brand with which to incite the Outcasts against the Corsairs and vice versa.

Please explain clearly how you think Laowai powergamed. If you wanted it to remain private misgivings then you should have said nothing else after that first post. Not that it's relevant to him becoming Admin.

You need to separate the characters from the person. Laowai as a Corsair is not the same as Laowai the Admin.

He is polite, he gets work done, He's a gentle person with people. He seems relatively unbiased. He's reliable. All of those are good reasons for him to become an Admin as we do need more.
