Admin Notice : Faction Warned

[Benjamin]

Well this gets a minus grade.



How much of this is based on in-game actions, and how much of this is based on the forum? From what I've seen of both, this seems basically to be a warning because hundreds of zoners players moaned. So it seems to be saying 'hey, if something doesn't go how you want it to in game, don't worry, you don't have to change, just moan loads and all your enemies will get warned and sanctioned.'

1) The RP reasons for QCP targetting the Zoners, though plausible, are quite weak to justify the Vendetta that has ensued. Zoners, it seems, are currently your primary targets, to the exclusion of the more legitimate KNF and Corsair threats.

Bit of a snap decision since this is drawn from a couple of days experience during which time there have been three (four?) zoner/QCP incidents, all but one of which started with zoner capital ships in Bretonia. Not exactly a balanced assessment of the situation taking in to account the context and how much actually happened.

The personal thing:
Another thing that seems a bit messed up. It was the zoners that got personally offended. Now normally the party line is it's your fault if you get offended, or at least to handle it decently. But in this case it's not? It's the other people's fault?

The decision:

Point 1: This whole warning came up because zoners refused to roleplay out of this situation, and now QCP are being forced to roleplay with them? Just how is this going to work in a manner that is any fun at all for anyone?

2: Agreed as I posted a minute or two ago in that thread.

3: Not really a fan of this one either.


And finally, I have been warned for something I wasn't involved with. My QCP character had nothing to do with any of this, but has received an admin warning. Pretty good argument for being indie. That and all the battleships. Sad day.
