Anyway I feel like I am ranting now, so to conclude I will say, don't limit the rights of Independent Players to RP in accordance with their selected ID. The ID says they can do those things and they should.

First of all, Monk. That was a very well though of and written post you got there. Second, I didn't want to mention exceptions on my post, but I agree with you. There are players that even when not completely aligning themselves with the established factions have a way to operate seamlessly within their particular RP that neither stomps over the big faction RP nor "sounds" dumb.

But to be honest, I think these exceptions are pretty well covered up. The biggest problem are newer players, or players whose bigger interest isn't really developing the story of their part, but actually finding excuses to pick up a fight and/or to bully people around. I'm with DBoy in that one completely. I think that kind of behavior is downright unacceptable to the people who strive to build an RP basis in a particular region, simply because they have no sense of consequence nor responsibility to anything or anyone but themselves. There's no measure to their actions. If I do something wrong when working in a faction, I'll get slapped by my superiors and risk my position/prestige and place in the faction. If an independent does it, they have almost nothing to lose, but perhaps being sanctioned in extreme cases.
