Actually Role Playing

[worldstrider]

Hi all. Wasn't really thinking of a lot of responses--nice ones here though.

I have no problem with telling someone via //pm , "If you use Junker guns on your Hogosha fighter, its not a correct loadout", or "You have to ask for cargo before you can kill a freighter". Those are simple things someone might not know.
It's the subjective things. For example, I have run into the "Klingon" players here and while I have my own feelings about it, I role play as if I were a Discovery universe character encountering them for the first time. They have a plausible explanation (enough anyway) so I am willing to accommodate. Even if later they are told to "redirect" I can role play for the now. I don't have to "throw in" with them--but neither do I have to debate or critique them. I don;t have a problem with using the base idea from another area to serve as foundation here either--that sometimes can work well.

I do agree discussing on forum is fine...discussing..not insisting that others must be wrong and sanctioned or stopped if they don't agree with you.The point is to be open, polite and listen a bit and realize that while no other player has more rights than you--you don't have more rights than any other player either.
