' Wrote:I totaly agree with Igiss on this on to be honest. And no offence Eppy. It was you that gave me this point of veiw on this. When you banned RoS from Omi 85. And also tried to claim Alpha as your own because you were the system owning faction. Its a game that we are all here to enjoy. And each of us should have the same rights to a fair and enjoyable time.
I agree Silent ... I paid actual $$$ for the rights to play Freelancer. Granted this mod adds to what Freelancer was ... but some group who wants to lord over everyone else's fun is too much. I don't mind encountering powerful player factions who own certain systems that they power traded for. What I do get annoyed with is when one of these groups takes things so personal that they make it their purpose in life to deny everyone else a chance to role play THEIR part on this server.
We've got a few bullies on Disco that like to dictate what everyone else is allowed to do. Factions (especially system owning factions) should be held to a higher standard than indies. Faction members are expected to set an example for role play. Having non-player faction members in leadership positions without some form of a tag to indicate they're official leaders within a faction is dead wrong ... and leaves an open whole for abuse.
' Wrote:Of course I banned RoS from 85, Chris, what did you expect? We almost got trampled by the NovaPG and you refused to back us up because you didn't want to hurt Tony's feelings, which to me speaks of a greater commitment to the Blood Dragons than the Outcasts and warranted some kind of reprisal. As for claiming Alpha, I was wrong. Okay? It's not mine, I just guard it. It's everybody's, I'm not making a claim to it. All I'm making a claim to is the system I paid for and was promised total sovereignty over. When a lolwutting arse or some grudge-holding scumbag runs into my system and buys the largest ship he can and sits above the base Nightfall tailor-made for our faction, taunting my pilots. I think I should have plenty jurisdiction to blow the SOB up. One man is ruining an entire faction's enjoyment, and I will NOT stand for it.
Eppy ... I've encountered you many times in game. There was an instance where your trader character threatened my pirate to reprisals from the RoS for pirating you in the California system (while carrying lawful goods obtained from a Liberty port). You threatened to bring all of the Outcasts against me. You even F1'd in front of me. Quite an OORP event I'd say ... seeing as your trader was not affiliated with Outcasts (no Outcast IFF or ID).
Just because your player faction owns a system doesn't mean you own everything. Hellfire Legion tried to lay claim to the Spyglass because it could only be purchased in Vespucci. Admins shot that down rather quickly. You are no more special than HF.
