ATTENTION BAF FACTION MEMBERS AND INDEPENDANTS

[Dieter Schprokets]

I spent the afternoon doing sanction reports, and as a result could not attend any of the afternoon's "Festivities" in Hell, AKA Dublin.

Then I see that Beunt has posted in the BAF feedback thread saying, in a nutshell, that he is disappointed in a BAF gankfest that occurred there.

If Beunt (still second in command of BAF) finds it necessary to say this in OUR OWN FEEDBACK THREAD, I'm taking notice.

SO LISTEN UP:

PART 1 : BAF OFFICIAL FACTION MEMBERS

When you signed up for BAF, you were required to review the faction status http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?sh...25332&st=19 , and the Guidelines it contains:

BAF Member Guidelines.

1. BAF members are to understand this Faction Status post, and the Laws of Bretonia. http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?s=...st&p=408600

MEMBERS WITH A PRINTER MUST PRINT THEM OFF AND HAVE THEM HANDY.

2. BAF members are to always RP in system chat, and unless impractical, in Group Chat.

3. BAF members are always to obey their superior officers; nothing else makes sense in-RP. If you are told to get a fighter or bomber, get that. Junior officers will obey senior officers target assignments in combat. Disobedience also loses battles.

4. Combat/Assistance Priorities are as follows

Priority 1 : Always, without delay, assist other BAF, BPA, and other allies in combat who require assistance, but do not overkill, either. Obviously RL takes precedence, but advise others when it does.

Priority 2 : Stop Pirates from pirating in Bretonian space.

Priority 3 : Stop Smuggling, particularly in Leeds (be mindful of ID restrictions in other systems)

Priority 4 : Combat Training in Salisbury, or patrol home systems, or help new players with rep, as needed.

5. Treat other players with courtesy and respect.

6. BAF members with traders are strongly encouraged to support the faction financially. Bretonian Corporation membership encouraged.

7. When only Ensigns are present online, a more senior member (incl Lt's) in another character must change to BAF to give them guidance. Preferably, at least one Lt Commander or higher rank will be on to provide command.

8. BAF members above the rank of Lieutenant are to enforce these rules. Report problem players breaking these rules or the server rules to me.

9. A BAF member who is sanctioned by the Admins may be expelled from the faction. This will obviously depend on the severity of the offense..

10. Bretonian ships and gear only. Codenamed Weapons Allowed. Anything larger than a Challenger requires clearance from command, and the rank of lieutenant commander

11. Capital Ships must only be used in combat if the enemy fleet contains equivalent strength of capital ships. Balance as well as possible. A capital ship may take on a non-combat Command role, but only if it is far from the battle. Admirals shall also enforce this rule withe the reserve Fleets (Indys), with the assistance of BRF and RFA.

ALSO you may have noticed this:

http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?sh...=88711&st=0

The Bretonian/Kusari Rules of Engagement, produced in an attempt to get more fairplay out there.

Do I REALLY have to point out the the spirit of those guidelines should and do apply to any "enemy", anywhere?


THE ABOVE GUIDELINES ARE HOW I EXPECT YOU TO ACT. I AM NOT GOING TO WASTE MY TIME EMPHASIZING THESE CONCEPTS. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO.

WHAT I AM GOING TO DO IS SEPARATE THE WHEAT FROM THE CHAFF.

1. Recruitment is now closed until we sort out all our new blood.

2. WITH THE HELP OF BAF MEMBERS AND OTHER PLAYERS (KUSARI, MOLLYS, WHATEVER) I WILL MAKE A "NAUGHTY" LIST; THOSE BAF MEMBERS WHO DON'T SEEM TO "GET IT".

3. In two weeks time if no improvement is made I will remove some people from the faction. I have four (4) names on the list now. Will that list grow, or shrink? It is up to you.
