But if they tried to be Nomads, you would be shouting holy hell,

Well now, Bulldog. There is a difference. I shall attempt to explain. These Cylons don't appear to me to be an "inside job", shall we say. A bit confused right now, yes; but no "secret agenda".. no under-the-table dealings with established players and characters to get up my nose.. and now "power-gaming" evidenced so far, such as the Nomad sympathizers' little traipse through the Council of Zoners thread and other places.

My understanding is that there was disagreement even amongst the Admins as to whether the Nomads should be allowed on Disco as a "Faction". (BTW.. why aren't they required to have a faction statement and status page, just like the rest of us poor mortals..?) So, it is refreshing to see that the resistance to a Cylon faction isn't total either. Bless ya Caylith for an open mind.

Now, it certainly ain't up to me as to whether the Zoners will grant the Cylons the neutrality and Freeport access they've claimed. That'd be up to the Council as a body. And Dab, do I need to remind you that you're the "guard of the Zoners" only in Theta and 74? If you want to vote on the matter in Council regarding their access to other Zoner properties, then feel free to make a motion and do so.

Its Freelancer NOT BSG MOD, so lets see if you can work out something other than Cylons.

Cheers

Now.. who "is" Freelancer in this instance. Wouldn't that be the community at large? The people who actually play on and support this server? When you say "let's", Bulldog, as in "let us", are you including the rest of "us" who inhabit this creation as well? I should hope so. When it comes to enforcing the existing Rules here, then I do think a "benevolent monarchy" or autocracy is a necessary evil. But when it comes to deciding who can play and how, I don't quite think that falls totally in your bailiwick.

Anything further regarding the Nomads, (which issues you've conveniently ignored or swept aside..), or the new Cylons, will be handled by me in roleplay.

Thanks for listening,
Mal

Edit: Equinox.. see above. What I object to is having something rammed down my throat without a by-your-leave or bugger all for an explanation. If the "Nomads" are gonna be a faction, then they can do the paperwork, come out of the closet, and be done with it. Membership list, purpose, intent, the whole ball of wax.

Same for the Cylons. Five members, a viable ID choice, etc. Pretty simple, really.
