Phantom Thread

[Maximo Valeri]

Now on with the topic, it's rather productive.

To be honest.

No, it is not productive at all. It's the same damn old argument we have read since page five on the Phantom Feedback thread and heard a million times before. And before you go ahead and say that might indicate that there is an actual problem, no it doesn't necessarily mean that. It might just mean that a minority of people like to bash them since they are either jealous, have a personal grudge or simply wants to grind on something for the day. Senseless bickering about the same damn trivial crap - year after year - it's getting really tiring. I could understand this coming from a psychopathic person such as Karlotta who has deep attachment issues with Discovery, but the rest of you, I don't know what your problem really is.

- "You got too much freedom."

Hence heavy restriction on membership quantity and that you have to pass a lot requirements to be accepted. No, not a gentleman's club as you want so dearly to assume, it is actually an attempt to restrict just that, the amount of freedom they get. And they have an open recruitment thread. You just gotta pass it, that's where the restrictionmitation kicks in.

- "You killed me / won a fight / didn't Role-Play the situation like I wanted to."

First one: Deal with it, space is dangerous.
Second one: Learn to accept a defeat and be the bigger man.
Third one: Role-Play is not about what you want the situation to develop into, it's about actions and consequences. Perhaps you performed an action that lead to a certain consequence performed by the other party? Accept it. Role-Play ain't linear and it certainly isn't supposed to be one-sided.

- "Your Role-Play history/background/setup is out-dated compared to the current standards."

Oh yeah? Have you even looked at their stories or RP lately? They have restructured their whole write-up as well as setting up a transparent thread that links to every single character they got. As time changes, a faction can as well. Just because it was from the beginning set-up based on the old versions which carried less Role-Play standards, doesn't mean it's automatically bad now. Especially when they have restructured everything. But more importantly, how the hell is that a justification to REMOVE a whole faction?

- "Trivial arguments"

Perfect example: Something a dude did one year ago that cost him a whole month of adminship removal and continued surveillance of his adminship behaviour as well as repercussions made on the players that participated in said event. ONE YEAR AGO. You frickin' kidding me? To bring something up that happened ONE YEAR AGO?

Finally:

I'm not in the Phantoms.
I have been killed by them several times.
They have attacked my Fighter in a Gunboat, in a Cruiser, in a Battleship.
They have aided criminals to outnumber me.

But I don't whine. And so shouldn't you and maybe they can focus on some real problems instead.

In-before "Stargoose", a.k.a. Karlotta, a.k.a. Half the alternative accounts that spam the Phantom Feedback thread with stupid personal grudge based complaints, start quoting my text and bringing forth biased arguments which are only constructed to be against anything positive about the Phantoms.
