I am sorry to hear that you had a really REALLY bad encounter with some Rheinland Military players.
The ships you encountered were not tagged with [RM], weren't they?
[RM] is the tag of the official player faction and are members of this faction.
Our capital class vessels are tagged with [RM-RNC]Shipname or [RM]Shipname for the Battleships.
You faced indepentent Rheinland Military players, not beeing related to our faction in the slightest way.
As the faction leader of the official [RM] faction, I am still zealous to set troublemakers like the described ones straight.
All I can do is to provide them the opportunity to roleplay with us and show them how the RM faction works.
If they refuse to learn and listen, there is hardly anything I really can do about them, unless they break the Rheinland Independent Rules and Procedures;, [RM] follow these as well rules.
If they obey the server rules, there is nothing you can do about them and if they obey the Rheinland rules as well, my hands are tied as well.
Again I am really sorry to hear about your bad experience with them.
I just hope you understand that they are not related to the [RM] faction in any way.
