ATTENTION BAF FACTION MEMBERS AND INDEPENDANTS

[Dieter Schprokets]

PART 2 : BAF INDEPENDANTS

I am interested in power over Independants only in the sense and to the extent that some beautiful day I will not have to have power over independants.

If you understand that last sentence, you understand precisely my policy about Independants. If you did not understand it, try again.

The Official Faction rights give me limited power over Indys. And frankly, many of you don't need me to tell you what to do anyway. You are fine.

Lets look at how I have, so far, tried to exercise that limited power to do some good.

(The only major issue I have with Indys is the ones that overuse their capital ships. By and large, another Templar or Challenger here or there does not change much.)


CLEARLY, the problem, however, remains.


WHAT AM I GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

I AM ASKING EVERY PLAYER WHO INTERACTS WITH BAF FACTION MEMBERS AND INDYS TO PM ME THE NAMES OF THOSE MORE PROBLEMATIC PLAYERS.

INDEPENDANTS WHO GET REPORTED TO ME, WE WILL WATCH VERY CLOSELY. IF THEY DO NOT CHANGE THEIR BEHAVIOUR WE WILL USE THIS:

RIGHT 2) Official factions have authority over players of the same NPC affiliation, as long as RP justification is provided. This authority applies in forums and in-game, and applies to player faction diplomacy, and strategic and tactical direction. However, exercise of that authority, on the forums and in game, is restricted to official faction members with the rank of the official faction leader and one rank below him/her. The authority may be exercised through the use of in-game in-RP orders, which, if not obeyed, can result in in-game in-RP consequences (arrest, court martial, and even "lethal" force in extreme circumstances). Official Factions cannot, under any cicrumstances, require another player to follow non-canon RP if that player doesn't want to.

THEN, IF THAT DOESN'T WORK, THIS:

RIGHT 5) Official factions may request that the reputation of a player's ship be changed to hostile with respect to their NPC faction.
