White Cells and Faction Permissions

[Zelot]

It appears that everyone here is perfectly fine with a stagnant, restrictive system of roleplay. There's little more I can say.

The funny thing is, a little over two years ago, the admins starting putting these sort of restrictions in place more forcefully. The community exploded in a controversy, and the vast majority of players hated the restrictiveness. It led to the creation of the SRP system, which out of apparent laziness, has died, passed onto the factions, and continues to die.

It's clear that the community has a strong aversion to change, as the general consensus has taken a 180 from the last time this topic was heavily discussed. I'm just one person, so there's little I can do. It took a horde of players to even invoke a slight leniency the last time change was forcefully enacted, so one person clamoring for change will never do a thing. This is not a democracy to begin with.

In any case, it's good to see everyone is so happy with the system. Although this talks of "rights" is rather silly on a decade old PC game server.

"The last time" "The last time" You werent here for the last time this was discussed, or the time before that or the time before that. You have been gone from this community for like 2 years. I also quarrel with your assertion that the vast amjority of the community were against the changes. It's easy to say "Yea two years ago EVERYONE was against these changes" but I am sure you arent going to provide us with any solid numbers, or even any supporting evidience. Was there an argument between people about it in the past? I am sure, as there have been over and over in the time since you left. This community didnt stand still in the time you were gone. Just like any other time we had 50 bazillion discussions about these types of things. Just because you werent here for them, does not mean they did not take place, nor does it mean that nothing was gotten from those discussions. Many of us have come to our opinions about this topic through those discussions.

"Oh but the last time...." You weren't here for the last time, you don't know about that last time, so please stop trying to distort the discussion by telling people how you thought people felt, last time we discussed it, when you werent anywhere near here last time we discussed it. The general consensus hasn't moved 180 since we last discussed it, it has moved maybe 1 degree. But I guess maybe in 2 years, that kind of slow evolution that takes place in a community like this might seem to you to be a 180, but only if you pretend that the only time things go on around here is when you are around to hear it.
