White Cells and Faction Permissions

[Echo 7-7]

Behold the few important things in amongst 16 pages of faction leaders defending their actions against the disagreement of a few individuals.

Being granted white cell technology is a privilege not a right. If you are given what you requested it's a courtesy of factions and if they don't they are not abusing the system, they are just not doing you a favor.

You have right to use all green cell technology freely without obstructions or abuse.

Everything on this server is about privileges. We are privileged that the Development Team has shared their hard work, completely for free - and that's just an example. It is better to consider "what privileges have I been granted?", rather than "what rights do I demand?", especially considering a vast majority of players don't contribute to the maintenance of the server, forum, or creation of the mod.

This thread is getting just a bit ridiculous.

Sometimes, things just aren't fair.

That's life.

Edit: And there is nothing that everyone will be happy with. That's also life.

The system has been in place for quite some time, and it seems to work fairly well in most cases. I don't recall spotting a request which was just 'no' for the sake of saying no. Every faction has their reasons.
I'm willing to rescind this point if contrary evidence is provided.

Speaking of, whose alt are you?

That's still a valid question.

Oh, while I'm here....

I think the current system is fine, could we use a new SRP system? I'd like to see one, but we haven't had one in awhile and we aren't hurting because of it.

I don't think the lack of SRPs are causing a problem at the moment. Make ordinary characters interesting, not interesting characters ordinary.
However, I'm sure I've heard rumours of a system to replace SRP planned to come out with v4.86. That's just hearsay, though; you'll have to go hunting yourselves if you want a definite answer.
