i haven t pointed out what i think that "you" want to transport with your post. - but what is the general agreement - which is derived from threats like that and the replies included.
not at all is it *your* post. - but there is an undeniable trend when it comes to considering good RP. - we ( and that is the majority that speaks up, not the majority as such ) apply much much harder standards the larger the ship is. - when the problem is hardly the ship but the player.
now - while your argument is of course true ... a carrier that behaves like a jerk stand out more than a liberator. - by always saying "capships are bad" in stead of saying that certain players are bad, no matter what ship they fly .... it comes down to the ship and not the player. - that might be an unwanted effect - but thats what rethorics are for.
so - lets get to that nice little image with 4 carriers on one screen.
we don t know if they RPed or anything - BUT we assume that they are "bad". - if they had been 4 anubis fighters - we d have said .. "wow, look at that great bunch of RPers, they even form a wing and are probably going to hunt in a perfect RP manner"
but just cause they are carriers, we think they are bad.
and what i pointed out is.... - cause we transport that idea ( intentionally or unintentionally ) - we also say that ... IF they had been fighters - they had been "good". - henceforth, we focus on the ships and not the players. - when i m flying a light fighter - i have to "work" much harder to be considered a bad RPer.. while in a battleship, one sometimes don t even need to do ANYTHING at all to be considered a bad RPer.
so you might be pissed at me for picking the least "throwaway part" - but if its really such an insignificant part.... it would not have needed to be written down... since it was written down, it must have been "important enough to write" - and so you cannot blame me for picking something you wrote.
