Official Factions

[tansytansey]

You know, it's not Rp, if it can't evolve. "Evolving" simply was, is and will be very important part of any and all RPs, no matter if it is Disco, D&D or whatever else, in game or on desk. If you say "Behave according to ID, you have no right to do diplomatics, unless they are very minor, no right to change anything, so just shut up and obey the ID " ... Well, you have just raped RP and killed it afterwards, congratulations.

Or even better... only some selected official factions are allowed to change things... and enforce laws, make diplomatics. Oh my. Poor RP and its friend Fair-Game are turning in grave.

Roleplaying isn't necissarily about diplomacy. It's about playing the role of your character. You can pretty much do what ever the hell you like with your character in-rp. Even if the diplomacy's were set in stone and never going to change, ever, that would not stop you from roleplaying your character. It would simply stop you from changing the factions diplomacys, which by the way is not roleplaying your character, but trying to dictate others from roleplaying the character from the way they want to play. Your character fills a role, not everyone elses.

Offical factions to me are about one thing;
Order.
Like going to work, like watching TV, like watching sport, it's all designed to keep the order. Humans by nature are chaotic without order. Like Hoodlum said all those pages ago, this server would turn into a chaotic mess without order.
Besides, you all complain that offical factions don't get to change everything. A while ago, Bounty Hunters ran rampant with in NY with their capital ships blowing everything red to dust. Now, Bounty Hunters will only be allowed cap ships in the border/edgeworlds.
Then there was the LNS doing basicly the same thing. Now, we have the capital ship registration that keeps them in check.
We have(had?) the Outcast' New York directive that stops OC cap ships from attacking targets in NY with in 15ks of Manhatten
The RM restrict sale of their capital vessels and do not allow BH caps from operating in Rhienland.
Most recently, we had the Bs| trying to stop indie Osiris' from capspamming NY.
Well... Order capital ships are now no longer allowed in NY unless a pre-arranged event has been organised.
Now tell me that is not 'evolution'.

You may not get to change things over night, but things will change. This thread, too, will likely cause change. Because no one has brought up this issue before, how is one supposed to know there is a problem?
