Independent Capital ships vs Factions

[Jinx]

aside from the topic....

when was the last time that you haven t made either a fun thread - or a complaint thread. - freelancer is meant to be fun. - fun in its current state that is. - if it is no fun, constructive critizism can improve it....

when complaining and asking for restrictions or limitations or anything. - always imagine to have it the other way round. if you do like it, then you can make the request.

so if you ask for more power of the factions against non-facitonized players.... would you like non-factionized players to ahve more power over factionized players that are lol-wuting? ( yes, no matter how much that can apply to being appropriate or not - think of the theory )

you assume that a factionized player serves a higher standard - and indeed, he does. you also assume that this higher standard is actually executed by that player, cause he is in a faction. if he does NOT satisfy that standard - he is..... excused?

would the very same restrictions and limitations apply to a factionized player? - if not, why not, what makes him different?

so the question is - should the canon RPers have power over the players that disrupt gameplay? ( note that i haven t mentioned the terms factionized or independent )

now - don t you think THAT that would a FAIR request? no matter if you fly with a faction tag or not, - if you re an idiot and disrupting gameplay, you ll be punished. ( mind, we have an official rule for that actually )

if you just include non-factionized players it has the very air of the guys in the next pub ... that say "i hate those foreigners, - no, not my neighbour, he is cool even if he s foreign - just the rest of them" that means - you do generalize a type of players - and you even go further, you label a group of players to BE a group.

these posts emphasize a line between factionized players and non-factionized players, and isn t that strange that a great bunch of non-factionized players appears to have so many similarities that they ARE bunched up in a group?

thats really like saying, all factionized players are the same! - that means, that the TBH is just like the ROS, like the NLH, like the Keepers, like the Phantom empire, like the LPI, like the LR etc. - both, factionized players and unfactionized players only share one smallest denominator - and its really the "smallest" - one being, they are a faction - the other being, they are not a playerfaction. - and thats about it, really.

but personally i think.... these factions are very different from one another.... so why are the non-factionized players all alike?

its playing around with rethorical terms, yes. - but why is it harder to deal with perpetrators of the laws of good roleplay than dealing with "them all" in general. its really like saying "i know 10 blond people and they re all dumb, - for that i think that all blond people are dumb" its easy to say that - but it doesn t really live up to the facts.
