Faction Control of Capital Ships... or...

[Eppy]

I want to know how asking somebody to read and abide by a page of basic truths is taking a Guilty Until Proven Innocent approach. We're not telling them how to make their characters, we're telling them a pretty short list of things they shouldn't do, namely harvest Nomads, run off and start a war, throw themselves up against the wall of death that is New York, employ massive overkill to get their kill messages, and impose their own structure upon the factions and other independent players. We also introduce them to the forums, which, no, strictly speaking, are not essential to gameplay. However, considering a good portion of players only come here because they see 100+ people on every day, a unique thing in FL circles, and have no idea how to RP, and that a good portion of these don't figure out how we do things on this server, the forums are the best teaching tool for these individuals.

Cap registration does force compliance. It has to. It wouldn't work otherwise. But it's not like we go charging in with guns blazing, as the dissidents complain about and as I have repeatedly stated that this is what we do not do. We try to convince people, and most comply after a simple explanation. Very few times are there instances where we have to break out the guns and go hunt down a Destroyer who just won't adapt to the way things are. When we do, though, we do so with the support of the independents in the area (really, every time we have an issue like this the indies will go along with the factions and help remove the offender from the space we all share), and we'd very much like to do it legally, seeing as it does, in fact, work pretty dang well, and according to the poll the con-Faction-Regulation players are in the minority.

You know, Del, The Word of Xoria is not The Word of God. You'll note that Xoria is in the minority here, by almost two to one. I, personally, think that Xoria is quite wrong, for reasons I am bloody sick and tired of repeating, and am offended by his accusations.

Quick comment - we thought that Panzer was the Leader, Swift. -Agmen

Which Dreadnought was that?

One of your nine.
