Quote:I'm 37, and have been in and out of different rp clubs for 30 years, and: I'm sure this is actually a pretty common sentiment: I wont join a faction where there is a recruitment process, as I find it a direct intrusion upon my rp experience to follow an rp beuaracracy.
Im nearly 31. I've been a bum as well as a rich man. I eat raw meat, I crap vegetables. and sometimes my chest looks like a wet blanket. Sometimes I paint my face up to look like a clown and tell jokes in front of other adults, otherwise i wear wemons clothing because it makes me feel pretty.
My vast swelling and throbbing ARRRPEE Experiences err.... I mean Ego didnt stop me from becoming a keeper. Im sure in your life you've had to pay dues to get something in this case the dues are not that severe at all in fact the process was quite illuminating. Sometime humble action gain you more then making the assumptions "oh this clown's lore is no mach for my rp powers." I hate to put words in your mouth but i mean what else does that mean?
K'hara/keeprs the closed faction isnt a beurocratic entity Its run by a horrible Despot that convinced the previous despot hed keep oppressing the free spirit of rp in the disco community till under-verse come.
I don't know how else to impress upon those who don't "feel" the need to undergo indoctrination to play as a Khara faction member for the added benefits. I appreciate the wisdom in not wanting to feel anything emotionally complicated "playing a game".
This isn't just a game however its a community it has assets that it protects and guidelines the keep it from becoming a dirty juice stained carpet when the kids go nuts.
Its definitely a community of RP beginners and a safe haven't for "Do as you please" creative types. However there is a word here for your condition that you might have to review.
People think the admins are "stubborn" for not flexing certain rules or guidelines or that the community is to "rigid" because of its rules of etiquette. But this is wrong.. There is no possible flexibility on the community enforcers and assets side it would be like asking a chocolate bar to turn into a can of pepsi. It cant do it.
But you can follow or choose not to that your flexibility and it the only kind that exists in this relationship.
As for the "lore" and playing a "alien/nomad" is the same way. Your either doing it or your not. And thankfully a morph is what it is so most anyone can play one and let it not break the role.
As for the idea of independent nomads or.. differences and possible variations Id be happy to go over possibilities personally with you but the majority of the lore concerns people have are answer ad nauseousness in the keepers faction section.
As for the sentiments that closed factions are doomed. Every faction is closed, they have joining criteria and because they demand certain standards and practices of those who join their "flavor" is preserved. if that fails i guess that was their individual failing for one reason or another.
The thing that gets me twice? I know where your coming from. I was just like you. Hell i didnt even bother making a forum account until 2008 and ive watched this mod and all the servers that run it screw up in one way or another. Mostly on funding issues, and second on maturity issues.
I also hazard a guess that one of the people keeping this place running is Dick Clark AKA Satan and therefore will be with us until the second fall of heaven and or doomsday.
Settling on reality everyone's arguments for opening the faction up are moot because the bottom line is it isn't going to happen. because as a practicing follower of Cromdor the invulnerable he has assured me that as long as I keep feeding him souls the blood covenant will continue to endure.
finally
Quote: that if I did join K'hara I would end up leaving in frustration because my views would run very counter to what is intended with the K'hara
