Battleships- a solution

[chovynz]

See this is the thing. Jinx so easily puts into words why I've been trying to say for the last year.

Everyone, is an individual. Every player is an independent. Factions are made up of groups of independents. No one is holding you here. No one is chaining you to the desk and forcing you to play freelancer. That works both ways.

Things already are quite restricted. Factions (groups of independents, gathered under one banner, with one goal and purpose - usually) are required to act and set a BETTER example. But the fact of teh matter is "factioned" people still act as if they were independent. Because they ARE, since no0one can force them to play a certain way. So the "problem people" are in every faction, are in every ship type, are in every space area.

THIS is the problem that has plagued Disco from it's early days. This is an open free private server, where you can come or leave as you please. People forget that they do not own it. They forget they are visitors to teh server and so, think they can do as they like. And demand for what they want.

The ONLY, Rule (line/benchmark) we have is the server rules. Common sense should be a major part of one's playing of a role. There is much, much extent to what that is. One person, or groups of persons should not restrict what is possible by another person.

UNLESS that person is teh server owner. But Igiss will not move on this, so we are stuck on going back and forth like little manual carriage pushers, wondering what is going on.
"I want it my way"
"No, I want it my way!"
"Wah he did it."
"Wah He's not playing fair."

Until Igiss steps in and says "This is what is going to happen" then people bicker and argue about the stupidest things instead of playing the game, and having fun. Even WHEN Igiss steps in and says "Thou shalt not do this on my server" people STILL whine bitch and argue.

So, if you want to point the finger at "lolwats" or "bad people" take a look at the freedom you yourself enjoy, to do whatever YOU want to do as well. If that is a problem then this is all Igiss fault.

Frankly?

I think I prefer Igiss fault. Because then I still have freedom.
That same freedom should be extended to other players.
