To The Admins: In Reference to the TCG Faction Right 5

[Zelot]

In Reference to this thread: http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=75077

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.

I would like some clarification from the admins as to what led up to the actions that led up to this sanction, because it seems from the threads I have seen that the TCG are being faction right 5'ed for attacking Liberty and going into Alaska. I may be wrong, I dont have access to all the information you do, but on the surface it seems like its their actions against Liberty. The problem with that is that it is cannon RP for the Order to attack Liberty. It's cannon RP for the Order to operate in Alaska. So I think it would do the Community good to know the reasons behind this because it seems like a major action to be taken, especially since we have already been down this road before. I would think most of the Admins would remember the THC/BS issue some time ago, where the exact opposite stance was taken by the admin team, the Order official faction was sanctioned for trying to enforce non-cannon RP by trying to stop the THC from attacking Liberty.



So why the change, as I said, you probably have information that I do not, but I think this one might need to be clarified a bit more then what was posted in the Sanction thread.



By the way, Kudos to the TCG for handling it in RP. That doesn't mean it should have happened.
