While I somewhat agree with Cush's post on the 4 hour rule... It would do more harm then good considering how long it takes to kill people... Youd finally kill someone for pirating; they'd undock and youd pretty much just kill them til they get off...
But eh; My Case aside... Lately the bans have been given out alot for some minor things...
Also just a thing I noticed; @Virus: He said when he used to play here.

We will remember - We do not Forget - We do not Forgive
My god whats wrong with you people?
ITS A FLAMING TROLL THINGY DON'T TOUCH IT.
I've seen some well constructed posts here with alot of effort placed in quotes or colours of the text. Get a grip people, he doesn't deserve it.
3.3 hm cushion so what you make when i start speak to you in slovak language? and you can not know if i am sneding you to hell, or if i only say hello ?
3.4 or you like when you jump in system where two players talking about something from real life in open channel? and you try to type something in rp, their type oorp without // or ooc, and third person can not know what is rp and oorp ?
3.6 how you can roleplay with someone called for example &@&@&&&@**,XC& ? what is that? name? or what?
4.1 how you can multifaction ? i think someone above explained that.
4.8 ok for example corsair faction using outcast destroyers with liberty guns. they can make a rp story behind it, but it is total oorp. or no? or you think it will be good when it is possible ?
5.6 you have thruster, use it and learn how to dodge enemy fire. and 4 hours is too long? ok, you are corsair i am outcast docked in theta in battleship, i come to gamma, we are in fight, you kill me,i respawn in theta again and come back to fight with you, you kill me, and again and again and again and again. have you chance to roleplay? have you chance to make something other as fight with me hours and hours ?
when you dont like this rule, go to PvP server, not roleplay server. and yes i am from this planet!
5.7 if pirate catch you as trader, in roleplay what is more imporatant to you ? money or your live? you say him : ok kill me ? or you will be happy that he will only 1-2 milions from you and you have cargo and your are alive ???? and yes, find different route, or try the same and pirate will tax you or kill you when you refuse to pay again ....
5.8 the same as 5.6. when you are in fight 1 vs 1 you loose, and winner never call clear hence, you can not never attack him ????
5.9 hm, i think 100 percent of players here, have 1 char trader. so you can trade, without fight, and as i say to 5.7 what is more important for you when pirate catch you ? money or life ?
for this :
i want to find the original guy who invented this freaking badge system on this mod, WTS, and DS9 mod and just slap him untill my hand is sooo red it would fall off.
i think you can slap yourself, because this prevent big chaos on server where is 150 players active in one moment ....
and to this:
let me tell you how we do it on freeworlds, and its worked real well for about 4 years. you want to play, you make a CIV, and you have a [CIV] tag, if you want in a faction, a faction leader or someone with faction moderators access on the forums adds you to the memberlist. and you make your charachters with there tags, in our case its starwars like [IMP] [NR] etc. get it? no badges, no need for scanning ships for no reason, you see that there the enemy and attackthem, if your looking for smugglers then you scan there cargo. none of this "halt! who goes there" crap.
you think system here on disco work bad? why i am thinking that all like it? or is for you better know before you jump to a system if there are firends or enemies? i like that surprise. i see name, but i dont know if it is police or pirate, outcast or corsair. and factions have their tags in names. independent players try to be hidden behind their names. and as you typed, no need for scanning only pure PvP. i see you i kill you. nothing more. no roleplay.
the game is called freelancer, not ShackledPrisonerLancer
freelancer not PvP lancer, so feel free if you dont like it here go to other servers
You are entitled to your opinion, yes. However, let me say this in the nicest way possible.
If you don't want to play here for those reasons, don't play here then. Don't drag our mod through the mud just because you don't agree with the way it is run. If you want to run a server your way, I suggest you spend the time as Igiss and several other modders have, make your own mod, and leave us alone.

You fear oblivion. Yet you forget. The universe remembers every atom of your being. Even dust hums your name in the dark. Roleplay is dead. Long live Powertraders and PvP I guess.
I don't have a big fancy argument like the other guys do but I think this is a great server, the rules keep things fair and the people are absolutely wonderful to talk to. So as many other people said You don't like it then **** off.
Quote:But eh; My Case aside... Lately the bans have been given out alot for some minor things
Walker, players have been banned recently for cheating and swearing. That, in my and the rest of the Admin's opinion, is NOT minor. You swear, you get banned. End of story.
Now, if you've got such a problem with the rules then give some constructive criticism. We are the most popular Freelancer Server out there. Back when there was only 15 of us on the server, we played with gentleman's rules. We've had to adapt to our growing numbers. No we have almost 11,300 characters in our database. We have very little rule-breakage for the amount of players here. If 2,000 players can follow the rules with little to no problems...why can't you?
We can't just change the rules because you don't like them. You are quite free to go play somewhere else though we'd like you to stay here and enjoy your time at Discovery.
