You know, I learned so much about the Bounty Hunter faction by getting my BHGC guard tagged, it was such a useful way to spend 4 hours, 4 hours in which, mind you, I typed not a single word of RP.

You know what I learned? I learned that if you take missions from Sheffield station, chose the ones in E4 or the Sheffield South Ice Field, they involve the minimum amount of time spent traveling in lanes.

I fail to see how those 4 hours I spent contributed in any way to the good of the server, me, or anyone else playing/not playing at that time.

Yup ... and there's also the 2 to 3 weeks people refuse to role play while they power trade to get their BH BC's too. But oh well ... I guess its more important to get your rep, ship and equipment before you start role playing. So much for a pirate trying to role play with you BH guys just trying to get that ship.

Yes more sarcasm ... but sometimes you gotta go over the top to make a freaking point. Why? Because people don't listen when you make subtle remarks about things. Some people only respond to in-your-face tactics.

I'm trying to take you seriously, I really am, I dont think sarcasm is meant to be taken seriously though, I think it is meant to be a joke. If it's not meant to be a joke then I think it counts as being patronizing. I like being sarcastic too but I try to restrain myself to only using it to be funny as it is not the best way to make a point IMO, cause it implies you think you are obviously correct and everyone else is obviously wrong. It doesnt really encourage the most productive discussion.

To be honest ... this thread was not meant as a "joke" ... its called examining the extreme case to wake people up to what is possible.

What starts out as something small will eventually become huge. Many years ago ... it was against the law to curse on television ... you couldn't show certain things either. But now ... we've let things creep up so slowly that we are unaware of what is happening until its too late. Don't let people pull the wool over your eyes. Otherwise you've got the junk TV we got today.

EDIT: Be very careful what you ask for ... you just might get it.
