The situation in Omega-7

[DarthBindo]

Quick question, reading the above. If you are not agreeing with the type of RP that is being done on Discovery (not just the Omegas) - why are you here? Plenty of nonsense to go around but remember people are just trying to have fun in a loose framework.

Next time you make a complaint about anything, i'll be sure to quote this for truth.
I believe myself to share most of Daedric's viewpoints on this subject, so i'll go ahead and adderess your post.
It's not all the RP on this server. Many individual encounters, stories, in fact a good deal of them have actual RP. But once we jump to diplomacy and inter-faction things, and especially once things that only exist in-rp are considered, it quickly breaks down to who can shoot who and how well they do it, regardless of any lore or universe truth that would give one side an advantage.
Beacuse one of the sad truths of Disco's system is that a faction with more guns than you can ignore your RP, no matter how much lore or backstory or how many infocards or dev lore can support it, and worse, the blatant "NO U" is admin and community supported.
Until of course, the devs roll around and tell us what's happening/has happened, in which case you can expect no conflicts to be resolved (they always somehow carry on, cuse really, you can't kill a faction now could you?) and only a few factions "losing" anything in order to add some semblance of forward progress.(Gallia notwithstanding)
EDIT: not that i expect any such fixes for this problem. it's a basic <strike>failing</strike>tradeoff of the rp (non)system used. Legislative, legal, economic, manufacturing, these things are sacrificed beacuse they are quite complex to rp and implement.
