Rheinland Military [RM] Feedback Thread

[BaconSoda]

I talked to Cannon about my FR 5 and he has clarified his viewpoint on the situation for me a bit. Instead of debating about the legitimacy of the action, since it is legitimate if the admins say it is, instead I'll give you feedback on the way this was done.

The way this was done felt entirely dirty. Everything is hidden. There is no way for me to interact. There is no way for me to even try and defend myself. You even put the report in the criminal database in quotes, which precludes it from the search function, so if I search my name, I don't see the criminal database. A little thing which could go a long way would be taking the reports in there out of quotes so they show up in search functions.

Could you guys, maybe, do things in public with "trusted Freelancers"? The way it stands now, it looks like those trusted Freelancers are just you, only too lazy to actually try and patrol on your RM, so you take the challenge out of it and patrol on an alternate character without a tag. I don't know if that is true or not, but since all business is conducted in PMs and the posts are all made by The Major, it really just looks like those [FL] folks are just RM alternates who don't want the challenge of actually patrolling on their RMs. I don't know if it's true, but really, that's the impression I get. Taking it out of the shadows would be another really small step to not seem like really big jerks.

The hidden way you did it kind of precludes me from RPing with you. There's no reasonable way for my character to ever say "Wait, I did what!?" or "Oh, well I guess I did that and pissed you off." and RP with you. What do I do? Send a communication which says "I did what!?" and you point to a screenshot and say "Pay me or face the consequences!" It's not very inviting. I might complain about the [LN] not responding to distress calls, but they used to send out messages to people they were FR5ing informing them that they were going to be FR5ed. This was a lot more inviting to respond. Hell, at least the people had the opportunity to learn that they were going to get FR5ed. That's another really small step you could take to not look like giant jerks. And then no one could complain that they were never interacted with, either.

But then again, you might not want it to be inviting. In that case, my god is that a selfish way to RP. At no time does a system like this offer any consideration to the player you're "Interacting" with. It just exudes an air of self-entitlement, that you are an official faction and everyone else should just move aside and stop bothering you so you can fight [LN] or whatever it is you are training to fight in Braunsweig. It reeks of self-entitlement and is really selfish.

And on a side note, the last time I have ever seen an RM outside of Braunsweig was when 3 of them were fighting 3 Phantoms. It was a fun fight which occurred about four months ago. Can you come out and play sometime? Maybe you can stop relying on Freelancers to find smugglers for you.
