keeper engagement notices

[Jihadjoe]

Ok folks, as a keeper, I'm going to ask you some questions. In a slightly more calm tone than yuri.

Do you want to see a nomad saying " ***..*we*..will..'kill'..*you*..now..*ENAGAGUNBG!!!1*..*** " ?

That's a nice easy notice to understand isn't it... Makes everything very clear. Easily predictable, nothing cryptic, nothing confusing. It's funny y'know, because normally what happens to me, is I spend ten minutes attempting to create some roleplay connection with an individual, for them to respond with silence and gunfire. It's so much fun when that happens.
I half expect you're the type who did the following...

*Keeper arrives and attempts some roleplay with you*
*You give them silence*
*Keeper continues roleplay knowing that he'll get silence in return for the 8th time today*
*silence*
*Keeper's roleplay becomes hostile, at least in part due to you being frustratingly silent*
*Silence*
*Keeper fires a few shots into your shield, hoping that perhaps it will wake you up*
"ENGAGUGBUIHDFIKJGZSF" *pewpew*

We get that every god damned day. About one in every four people we attempt to talk to are like that, another two out of every four just cut the silence and get straight down with the gunfire, and only about a quarter of people on the server actually take any time to see what we're doing at all, then only a small percentage of thsoe actually engage i any roleplay with us.

So... Keeper engagement notices are lacking? Try some god damned responce is lacking from 90% of the server's population. I think only once over the last week has my keeper roleplay been met with anything other than gunfire, and that was by an indie battlecruiser in new york.

You say you don't want to go to the admins about it yet you're more than willing to attempt to drag a faction's name through the mud. That's nice.

Thank you Beck, we keepers love you too. Want a hug?
