New Order/BlackSquadron Role Play Rules

[Tenacity]

Alright, frankly I dont give a damn who wants control, or if there's a council or not. This entire thing is a pain in the ass and I was dragged into it in the first place.

I think there is one issue here causing all of these problems - WHAT IS CANON?

That's the issue - there are NO definitions in game other than the who the ID states as friend and foe. Every single order player is left to either follow the past-player-established RP, or to say "**** it all" and do whatever they want within server rules, even if that means pvp whoring in a ship that is OORP for their character, though not enough to get them sanctioned.

So, here's my proposal: scrap this whole council idea. Form a temporary group consisting of ALL active order players, and take consensus votes on what is and isnt in rp for the order. We do this for every single restriction possibly conceivable for the faction (not black squadron, but THE ORDER as a whole) - until we have a complete guideline for what is and isnt canon RP.

Players who dont follow that guideline need to be sanctioned by admins for OORP behavior. Players who want to develop their own RP can do so as long as it doesnt break that basic guideline.

How's that sound? Tickle your berries enough or are we going to continue bitching about this for the next three months as incidents such as deisol's and bluntage's continue left and right?

Make a damn decision.

EDIT:

To elaborate, this needs to be done for every affiliation in the game. Make an entire forum dedicated to "canon RP guidelines" with posts for every single faction, and have people decide what is acceptable. Anything that goes against those acceptable guidelines is sanctionable.

There is too much ambiguity right now in the rules, players enforce what they think is RP and get shot down by the admins or by other players for being wrong - enough is enough.
