Libby-B

[Garrett Jax]

I daresay, calm down, skippy. Us constables know the problems, the main thing is to not get dragged down by it all. If we maintain a level of decency above that of the people who we agree are only in this game to destroy the self esteem and ships of others, then we are prevailing, as you so eloquently put it.

A level of decency? What's indecent is the fact that I can barely type out a sentence before I see the words "Lawdawg!!!" or "Gut 'em!!!" The next thing I see, and sometimes before, is my hull getting poked by missiles and blasters. I understand your point of not letting it get me down, but c'mon. Even trade ships blast us into oblivion when they outgun us. The fact is, the only way to get the opportunity to roleplay is when both parties are at least evenly matched in firepower.

A lot of people here don't RP. Why is beyond me, this is the Discovery Roleplaying server, but, they don't. It's a fact that there are ignorant people. What we can all do is show a good example, and explain to the new folk that roleplaying isn't just a side note on the server, that this server does exist for the sole purpose of roleplaying.

Who said anything about new people being the problem? My problem is not with the noobs. My problem is with those that have been on for awhile, know the rules and still get their laughs at the expense of rp. I look up the names of those who kill me all the time, I see the dates of their activity and the amount of posts they make on the forums. I won't name the ones that are most culpable. I don't want to embarrass them, but they know who they are. If it was just noobs, I wouldn't even post a response. It's the veterans of the game that I direct this to. They are the ones who are the joy killers.

So, no, the LPI does not need a Mini-Libby. Personally, I thought it was a joke, and I hope it is...

If you are an Admin, or some game developer, a moderator or someone who makes game decisions, then I apologize for speaking out of turn. If you are not any of these, then who the heck are you to decide if the LPI can have their own ship? Are you even in the LPI? Liberty is not Bretonia. Everytime I log on, there are more ships in New York space, than in any other system. I'm not trying to flame, I just don't think it's unreasonable to expect a stronger ship to tackle the heavy responsiblities that the LPI have to carry. To just dismiss it offhandedly like you did is insulting.

The point I'm trying to make is this. If veterans of the game are not going to rp, then nobody is. The ones who want to, will not be given a chance. Soon, nobody will. Even up the odds with a stronger LPI ship, and then the pirates, and other baddies, will hold off at least long enough to let us get a few words in.
