White Cells and Faction Permissions

[Daedric]

Apologies if I seemed harsh, but here's the thing. I've brought gameplay, rules, etc into the spotlight. Rule =/= RP. Daedric continually went off about how he thought I should have played my RP setup, while I continually said that it's not what I'm discussing, and it's not his character anyways. It got annoying.

Also, being rude to Zelot doesn't count. Everything's his fault.

In the end, I actually love the prospect of players representing RP and working with other players in this regard, believe it or not. But at the same time, it's a shaky system when there's pretty much free reign given to players for possible abuse. Not to be a major pessimist, but no one's the beacon of morality. Apart from that, like Ashes said, I believe complete, total lockdowns are a little silly and frustrating to certain players' RP.

But hey, we work with what we've got.

On another note, Athenian. Do you mean to say that if an official faction approves red cell tech, it is within rules? Or do they have to approve it, then go through admins? And would this need to also go through the SRP forum? (which is pushing daisies atm)

I didn't continually go off about how you should role play your character. You provided an example you thought should have received an in role play permission to use Corsair tech, I merely countered your argument stating the that with the provided information you could simply use a Corsair ID. If you got annoyed by it, its because you failed to understand the discussion at hand.

You didn't bring game play and rules into the spot light. You brought one rule into the spot light because you felt two faction leaders were abusing their powers. Noticing that the admins have seen and probably read this thread, I think its fair to say they don't share your view.

AS for what Athenian quoted. No, even if a official player faction approves your permission to use their tech, if your ID is red to their tech you cannot use it. That requires a SRP and SRP's don't exist right now.

What he quoted means that official player factions can conduct diplomacy, over time as the diplomacy evolves it could lead to a red cell becoming white/purple/green. However, all of this has to be approved by the admins (and likely the dev team too). Though, it says that they must get an active SRP prior to the cell being changed.........and the SRP system is gone so I am thinking the admins might ignore that technicality.
