Sanction

[Furball]

When I first arrived here, I "met" a lot of good people in the virtual space of Disco.
They helped me get started.
A few days later I found out I had Cancer.
I wandered around in game pondering "Why?" . . . when I was robbed by Pirates 3 times in a row.

I got frustrated and "F1ed" in space.

I was sanctioned.

I deserved it!

It is a game, I am in another persons playground and "I broke the rules."
I apologised to all here at the forum, especially the Admins who I gave more work for them to do.
On many other servers, my mistake would of been Bannable (Banned)

A few days ago, I was helping a "New player" like I was helped when I first got here.
An Battlecruiser with one tag, a different IFF that had nothing to do with the ship type blew my Advanced train up before I knew what happened.
The expensive items I was going to donate to the new player was taken along with cargo.
I was NOT going to file a report, but the "Player" did not care about "rules" and was abusive.
I saw he was shooting everything in sight after another player tried to politely educate him.

I filed a report.

It is NOT the Admins fault.

Every day I see things like Corsair Gunboats, with Zoner tags and Liberty Rougue IFF shooting up a storm.
It is NOT the Admins fault.

It is the MOD.

On many other Mod's I played or Modded for, getting a Capship, certain weapons or special items was earned in various ways.
Either:
Clan leaders issued them.
The game was modded so only certain people could get them . . .
. . . or with a Dynamic-economy Mod, you brought the "parts" to build one to your clans Planet or station.
You just could NOT buy one. Not so here. Have Credits, get what ever you so desire.
Big mistake.
The Admins are trying to stamp out a Gas station fire while it is still pumping Gas.

Yes, we are here to have fun and RP.

It is Not fun or RP to be robbed (for example) in your travels by a Corsair Tagged player in an Outcast Cruiser that has a neutral IMG IFF and Nomad Turrets . . . and then get blown up above New Berlin by them anyways.

It is NOT the Admins . . . it is the Mod.

Fix the way things are sold and we stop a lot of fuel pouring on the perverbial sanction Barn-fire.

Happy Holidays to all.
