[DeathsOverture]

ProwlerPC, those were some great definitions. I sort of missed this thread, but it seems some people have learned some valuable lessons.

Now the confession: I'll admit that I was a little steamed about the Joker RP until I read this thread. I had no idea that the Joker had prior consent from Official Zoner factions to cause destruction of that scale on NPC bases. I -still- am a little put off more or less, because the Joker is an imported RP, and I loathe imported RP ... but as long as the community approves it, I suppose we'll have to adapt and respect it like the Colonial RP. As long as he's not committing terrorism on NPC faction bases or player characters without consent, then I can't really complain.

Anyways, as Cannon said, let's all remember to keep things fun for all parties involved! Sometimes it can be fun to play along; I spontaneously RP'd the death of my GMG trade ship captain as he ran for his life from some Wilde in Omega-11. It ended up leading to some really fun roleplay later on with the same wilde character (Betrug!) I also let the -]NTF[- "capture" my Freelancer character Seleucous Wright for destroying two of their ships and then seeing the Junction. He ended up using the rewards he got from Pryce Research to repay the damages. His journey has been by far the most fun of any of my characters.
