How to make Discovery better?

Nooblet,

I gave you the definition of faction and yet you still persist denying it. Nowhere in the definition of the word is there anything that says that a faction has to have a leader. It is amazing how you ignore what you don't want to be true. Corsairs and Outcasts aren't in the same faction, because they have differing ideals. Just because they agree on some things doesn't make them one and the same. It's the differences that define them. Sharing ideals that are different from others ideals is the very definition of a faction. Look it up.

Yes, it is actually a rule, if a faction leader gives you an order and you are and independant of that faction, you do have to carry out the order.

RIGHT 2) Official factions have authority over players of the same NPC affiliation, as long as RP justification is provided. This authority applies in forums and in-game, and applies to player faction diplomacy, and strategic and tactical direction. However, exercise of that authority, on the forums and in game, is restricted to official faction members with the rank of the official faction leader and one rank below him/her. The authority may be exercised through the use of in-game in-RP orders, which, if not obeyed, can result in in-game in-RP consequences (arrest, court martial, and even "lethal" force in extreme circumstances). Official Factions cannot, under any cicrumstances, require another player to follow non-canon RP if that player doesn't want to.

The fact that independants disregard the rules just illustrates my points. The majority of the Independants are not following the rules of thier factions, let alone the rest of the game. The factions cannot be expected to follow the rules if the Independants do not have to. And they certainly can't be said to have the power to stop violators if an established player like yourself doesn't even know the rules he is breaking.

Also, I have never once stated that offenders should be banned. In fact, my suggestions have all been in game elements. I want to give the factions the ability to enforce the rules they are supposed to be able to now. I want Independants limited because it is far to easy for the system to be abused as it stands. I want rewards for official factions to encourage participation, role play, and fair play.

And finally, I illustrate my points with civil language, providing the proof of my statements, and ask that those disobeying the rules be punished for thier violations. And despite this, you call me a six year old. I am going to lower my standards for just a few moments, now. I am going to point out your flaws.

1: You deny the facts of the matter. [Definitions of words and clearly stated rules.]
2: You fail to provide proof of your arguements.
3: You fail to do research on the matter.
4: You take quotes out of context, ignoring what you do not want to aknowledge.
