Rush on Gallia

[beander2]

@Trevelyan, an unofficial group consists of properly ID'ed and tagged characters.... I dont see how one properly ID'ed and tagged character can be ignored because hes in a group, while another properly ID'ed and tagged character cant because he's on his own.

That's not what I said. The char can't be ignored in either case. If I'm in Council-controlled space, I need to abide by what an ID'd and tagged Council pilot tells me to do. My point was that the group - as a group - couldn't claim to set policy or engage in diplomacy on behalf of the Council. If you want to for your group, which obligates absolutely no one else, and should not be presented as such, then go ahead.

My apologies for giving people something to RP with as they come into Gallia.
Instead of coming in without RP and OORPly exploring the new areas.

You keep putting this in terms of my objecting to RP, when that has nothing to do with it. My point has been all along that it seemed to me that certain folks were jockeying for positions of leadership in the Council, etc., by engaging in faction activity now, when that should wait until folks have a bit more of a chance to get to know Gallia.

Feel free to RP Council chars, and more power to you. It's great to have those encounters. My only concern was that groups were already attempting to represent the NPC faction more officially - diplomacy, transit rights, etc. - when that sort of thing is premature.

I think I've been pretty clear on that since the beginning, and there's no sense in belaboring this point anymore. Concerns have been registered and have been noted, and that's probably enough for people to just step back a bit, which was my intent behind my initial post.
