Well, I don't want to be misunderstood, here. What I mean is that as a faction leader, I think the Phantoms should take responsibility for what they do ingame. We ran into a swarm of 12 Liberty Gunboats? I guess we failed at being sneaky, and now we have to fight these Gunboats. Does that necessarily mean I condone being a jerk? No, no, if someone accidentally runs into a group of 6 of us in a snubcraft or a transport, he has every opportunity to turn around and run or stop and perform a task for us. If he persists following, taunting, observing, running (in the case of a transport), or asking for a change in eye color (That was a really good one, by the way, had a lot of fun missing frantically), then I reserve every right to shoot him because he's being an inRP asshat (for lack of better term). That is the RP consequence.
For example, today Slainte took his bomber out for the first time. It was in Omicron-82, so he had to fly down to Edinburgh through the Taus. A Freelancer saw him near Freeport 10 and followed him all the way to Edinburgh. Long story short, we ended up shooting with 4 of us shooting the one of him. We didn't win (we left because we could not hit him and he was hitting us more consistently), admittedly, but he asked for it by following us so far and not taking a hint. It was good fun, and he agreed with that sentiment.
The other night, I was definitely an inRP (and OoRP) asshat, and I took responsibility for that. I got pwned. Well, I'll take responsibility for that and apologize, like I expect everyone else in this faction to when something they do ends up ending poorly. One of the most important things we look for when recruiting is people not coming on the forums after dying and going "That was unfair!" Everyone must be able to recognize his own faults and take responsibility for what he does.
It was a very good point and it needed to be raised. A lot of people do think we're jerks, but I dunno about that. I rather feel like we could be much worse and we have a very high tolerance for silliness...
