Terrorist ID: Is it even needed?

[kuth]

Kuthmii I've come to expect nothing less from, but whatever. If he gives me something more specific than "you suck do this even when it doesn't make sense" then I'll work with it, because even when most people would just click "ignore" I keep trying. Anyone remember what I was like during Akumabito's days? I just don't quit. I answer everything, because if I can't then something is wrong on my end and that means it's up to me to fix it. If you put something specific in here and I missed it point it out again, I've been too busy dealing with skype to read everything.

If a member of Das Wilde goes ***darkname*** and shoots you with nothing else until you're dead, and we can't explain why later, then I'll personally string them up by their man parts. There have been, however, times that we -do- things kind of like that, though I make a point to explain at first opportunity. During the Cambridge events series, we were racking up civilian casualties to try and force the BAF into caving to our demands. The entire point was to kill people, not to acquire materials or anything. Those that survived were told why we were doing it so that they could tell tales and complain to the BAF.

See, this is what AJ refers to. Certain people, feel they are better than others, period.

My grind with these factions? I was blown up by a Keeper who spit out 2 lines of ***XXX*** of which I didn't have a chance to fully read before it killed me. They were presets it seemed. I wasn't even on a trade ship. I was in the middle of an on going one hour plus RP session with an indie LPI.

I haven't ran into a Das Wilde nor a Phantom so I cannot comment on them with any merit.

Now, I only said what I said because it isn't just me experienceing this. Many many people on this server complain about them. I've seen people on Skype say when they see Phantoms incoming they accept they are dead, even if they RP with the Phantoms. Whats the point of RP'n with a group that is always going to kill you when you encounter them? They get to have their fun at your expense every time and when you say "Hey guys can you RP with me?" All we get from the members of these factions is "Quit whining its our RP and we aren't breaking any rules."

The Keeper that grinded me was Tenacity from what I can find on the forums, and while I find him to be a good person; he thinks the Phantoms/Keepers/Wilde are some sort of rule enforcing police on the server. Ensuring that all those silent power traders learn to RP. Kinda makes the rest of us mad when these factions are allowed by the server rules to ignore the rules.

How does this tie in to the Terrorist ID?

As Tena already agreed with, you should be able to predict the behavoir of a pirate. You shouldn't be able to predict the behavoir of a terrorist? Of which Keepers/Phantoms/Wilde fall into. Yet you can predict their behavoir. You can predict you are most likely dead. In my experince that is the case with the Keepers, as I didn't have a chance to even respond or fully read what the Keeper said. Was I contacted after I died with any kind of info as to why I was killed? No. The Keeper simply left the system.

I don't want any of these factions to be removed nor do I want the Terrorist ID removed. I wan them to actually RP with the rest of us instead of simply killing us because the server rules have been set up in a way to allow them to. Nevermind the fact that they are closed factions of which are ran by admins, ex-admins, or friends of admins. All of which have a say in the server rules. Conspiracy? No. Simply fact of human nature.

Cambridge event series. The BAF have an important artifact (The Sword in the Stone), Das Wilde is trying to take it. Direct force has failed, so Das Wilde asks the BAF to return it and avoid more bloodshed. The BAF say they'd rather have their people die than help us.

So we oblige. We send teams into Bretonian sovereign territory and kill everything that moves, saying that the killing will stop as soon as the BAF return to the negotiation table. The point is not to get anything from the traders. The point is to cause an incident with the Bretonian government and force them into acting. If we let the civilians weasel their way out, it would not have so much impact, and the brets could just say "it's your own fault for not paying them". This way, there is only one response, and it's the response we want.

THAT is terrorism. Killing innocents to get what you want from others.

^ That is terrorism. Thing is, do you people even bother letting the 'innocent' traders know why you are killing them? Do you bother taking into account that you just ruined their fun to get your fun? I'd be fine if I was one of those innocent traders, but if no one explained it to me I'd be pissed. We shouldn't have to come to the forums with screens saying, "WTF!" in order to understand what happened. You, as the person granted extra freedoms because you are better at RP then us should explain it to us so we understand it.
