' Wrote:Well I said in that specific situation the Terrorist Character does not have to stay silent. He can make a funny poem or a scary saying of how he enjoys watching things burns and THEN he fires. You asked me whether or not a demand was needed, that was your statement, you did not mention anything about being a mute fella. I would find that pretty good RP if it's not just some "Wooo I'm scary now you dai!". Hell do I know if people are creative its up to that specific character to show me, but of course with a Terrorist ID I expect some quality.
I related the mute and terrorist situations because both show restrictions in how you contribute to the RP universe. A person that kills everything and blows everything up contributes to it by stopping others from RPing. It's counterproductive.

AJ, you have an axe to grind. When it comes to anyone with a terrorist-type ID, all I've seen is bitching, with no suggestions other than "let me escape" or "take away their privileges". And yet, I have yet to see anyone who actually holds a terrorist-type ID to dismiss you out of hand, even though others do. In the Phantom feedback thread, they asked for the situation and analyzed it when you provided it. Your complaints here have been discussed by the people you're complaining about.
*snip*
So, is this just another "you guys blow up my powertrader I hate you you shouldn't exist" thread, or does anyone have specific complaints? Go on, give us a situation and tell us what we should have done differently, thinking about it from our perspective. I dare you, just like you "dared" the Phantoms.
EDIT: Seth's got a good point. We get our PvP mainly by defending the hordes of people who come after us rather than going out and looking for it. The terrorist ID pretty much paints "Acceptable Target" on you ingame. Shame that carries over to the forums.
And once again you as most everyone else falls into the same mistake of being so smug and egotistical to believe you are perfect and everyone else is wrong. I don't do this "because I got blown up", I do it out of principle. I see something counter-productive and harmful to the roleplay environment, something that facilitates PvP whoring, double standards and bias and worst of all, I see it being admin-sponsored and I want to show my point of view to the community and see if I am missing anything, if I am indeed right in the stance I took. Nearly everyone other than Zeltak gave me either complete BS or arguments with no backing to them.
If you want to throw poop, the door is right there. Kthnxbai.
PS: You want specific arguments? Ask them from the community in general. Mine are already posted in the respective feedback threads.
PPS: I didn't give any suggestions in the situations I faced because I saw none. Talking about the Phantoms, as I presume you were, they "cornered" themselves into a RP in which it is very hard to do anything other than PvP whore. Or at least, so I would think taking from what I have experienced.
