The entire discussion thread makes me say blodo for sure. Id suggest rudo to if he hadnt said "No I wouldnt be good at that" and one can respect that.
Discovery for newer people is a frustrating and scary place. Constant rule mongering can put anyone off, it sure did for me. If I would have been sanctioned for a few of the newbish (man I still make these a lot, made a bad one the other night but once I was informed about it I apologized) mistakes I would have said "Screw this I may like a lot of stuff about it but im not putting up with somewhere were some power hungry no life mouthbreather can get me (putting in for a big sanction) sanctioned why would I even want to try?" Would have waited till I got back, if I was still infuriated, minmax the best for the money I had and go on a rampage then delete discovery, since my opinion of the game would be so low.
Being overtly harsh breeds defiantism, and as we can see from some groups its already here with the rules as they are. You get someone in who, like tenacity so eloquently put it, has a hot head and gets things done....well I think you'd chase away all the players that will actually try and breed a feeling of defiance and contempt that would eventually cause a rift in the server's populace.
