Excuse me. Is this community composed of 5 year olds?

We have admins who think RPing as Al Qaeda is perfectly acceptable RP, thats how we get to this point Peter.

If you're talking about Saladin's bounty, I dont think he is RPing as Al Queda just because he uses and Arabic name. You, and maybe him too, just think he is.
His alleged motivations are "spread chaos" and "joy of killing", which no one in Al Queda would ever say.
Its a I-hate-you-bounty with no RP justification which -should- be against the rules, but its not Al Queda.

Simply put you can troll all you want, just be friends with the right admins and/or mods, and nothing happens.
Indeed, and its worse when SOME of the admins are part of said network of minions, and give those special players unofficial warnings (if even that much) for things that would get lesser players banend.

Cant argue with you there.

In spite of the first part of the rules section, this is not an institution in a democratic state where people have rights that are enforced by law, this is a multiplayer internet game where the geek that spent the most time becomes the geek in power.

What you say is a normal thing to happen if no control is held over admins that they really follow their own rules, and when there is no self-control either.

From what I've seen, in my extended leave, is that the people who endorse it -are- the higher powers, I'm not saying 'lol admun consiwaceh' or anything like that, I'm just saying... The rules seem to be more focused on punishing people who can't RP, or don't know what RP is, more than people who really need a slap on the wrists.

Such wisdom from you.

I'm trying to bring attention to a problem I see with this server community.

And rightfully so.
Most people would leave an internet forum instead of trying to change anything for the better.
But as long as powergamers see no need to change their behavior for their own benefit, they wont do it. They wont change it for the benefit of someone else. Thats how they work.

Given that the IND was Dusty, and that the IND apparantly do know about Cassini, I apologize for the second half of my post. Dusty, you're forgiven. Everyone has off days.
I'm still waiting to hear any kind of explanation for the Zoner bashing that's been going on.

So now you apologize and forgive because one of the guys is who he is, but when you saw his ingame behavior without knowing who he is on the forum, you found it unacceptable.

Maybe thats part of the problem.

Maybe thats the root of the problem.
