Note on The Order policies

[Baltar]

Dear, you are a lying pig. I would be threatening reprisals from any Outcast, as is perfectly within Roleplay for the uncle of a ranking member of the 101st and a man who has so much invested in the Outcasts he probably warrants a seat on the Council of Dons, but it would probably have been the 101st, seeing as I actually own that one, not the RoS. Benjamin Epstein is allowed to threaten to destroy you, it is PERFECTLY in-RP for him to do so.

I have never F1ed out of combat or piracy. That you think I have is ridiculous. I have a perfect, sanction-free record, and it will bloody stay that way, thank you very much. Get your head back on straight, boy, nobody wants to look at that.

#1 ... Don't call me Dear and a liar in the same sentence.

#2 ... Yes ... you have F1'd in front of me after threatening me. And yes ... I waited till you returned ... then destroyed your vessel. Oh ... this occurred long before the F1 sanctions came about.

#3 ... No ... your vessel bore a lawful IFF and a Trader ID. You bore no indication you were an Outcast. You may have a story somewhere in the weeds of this forum ... but not common knowledge to everyone. My character was allied with Outcasts (as he was Liberty Rogue) and knows nothing of your Benjamin Epstein. So ... don't go assuming everyone knows your back story. If you want role play as an Outcast trader ... you need to have the markings.

No, dear, we shouldn't. Not if we don't have any power over them. We no longer have the incentive to remain on our best behavior, and though I, personally, intend to, we shouldn't. The value of factionization has just been heavily degraded, and we should be held to the same standard of RP/PVP that a greenhorn fresh off the boat should, if you want to talk like that.

#1 ... Again ... don't call me Dear and a liar in the same breath.

#2 ... Yes ... all factions should be held to a higher standard. To think otherwise is absurd ... factions are what new folk here will encounter the most. You can have all the Indies lulwut'ing about ... but to see it within factions just reinforces this attitude to new players. People should want to join a faction because of their role play ... not because they're a group of lulwut'ing-PVP-seeking-friends-with-arcade-game-mentality in common.
