"Ghost.Ship" Has returned!

One man's BS is the other man's common sense.

Say what?

Actually, Doc, that's among the most enlightened things I've read in this entire thread. One person's BS is indeed another person's common sense. The trick is to not believe all of anyone's BS, including your own.

"We're here to have fun". Everybody is. But some people's "fun" intrudes other people's fun. That's one of the things that's slowly killing Disco from the inside - players being inconsiderate of each other. Many don't work together to create a RP environment everybody benefits from. They make their ridiculous statements ("We can identify your Iseijin as Nomad-infected by looking at the color of their gun projectiles!", "We are ghosts and demand a thousand souls!") and do their thing, which pisses people off, creating an atmosphere of disdain, ooRP politics and malevolent competition.

Too bad you're one of them.

Wow. Look a personal attack. I guess it is clear you are grasping at straws. Do yourself and me a favor, if you want to make more attacks on my person or spew your mindless drivel, do it in PM. You've stated your flawed thoughts on many things in this thread, as have I. How about you exit the thread now? I'll open the door for you as I leave also.

Aint going to accept you as Ghosts from an OORP perspective, Freelancer is based on relatively known science.
IE, Nomads are explained logically in the Lore.
Weapons etc are all non-magical and based on real science (Obviously some are silly but they are sciencey)

We don't have people coming back from the dead with magic.
It's through technology.
We don't have people with psychic powers.
It's through technology.
We don't have people who are actual ghosts.
It's through technology.

The last one there is a hint really.

Lose all the stuff about being actual ghosts etc and just do it from a technology point.
Your crew is insane, it's all a scare tactic, anything really.

Just avoid the 'WE ARE GHOSTS FROM THE AFTERLIFE'.
That messes with everyone's game, which is something that you will find isn't popular, at all.

You right, too many people dont understand that RP is a cooperative thing, it's not walking into a situation and saying, "This is how it is and you have to do it this way or you are oorp. For example, coming into a situation and saying something like "There is no possible way that a scanner would be able to see any difference between non-organic KNF weapons and Organic Nomad weapons, and if you say there is you are oorp." Is not really a good way of moving two groups toward cooperative rp. I think you have made a very good point Foo.

Actually, this isn't true, on more than one level.

AW did fit the lore of Disco. We weren't exactly Zoners though. Both of those facts is why we got our own ID, just like the Phantoms did.

AW were never 'retconned' out of anything. When I created Omicron-74, I intentionally left out mention of the AW, for I was, and still am, a believer in not having mentions of player factions in rumors and infocards, unless that faction has an associated NPC faction, such as the Phantoms.

Weren't you basically RPing the Asgard from Stargate?

If not, and I am wrong here, apologies. Regardless, my other points stand.

Wow. Look a personal attack. I guess it is clear you are grasping at straws. Do yourself and me a favor, if you want to make more attacks on my person or spew your mindless drivel, do it in PM. You've stated your flawed thoughts on many things in this thread, as have I. How about you exit the thread now? I'll open the door for you as I leave also.

Wow. Look, one personal attack in reply to many. But please, leave this thread. Other players might feel themselves encouraged in their disruptive endeavors through your statements, which you fling around like you actually had a clue about Discovery (zomg, another personal attack! Oh snap!).

Apologies, but you might want to re-view that "discussion" we've had on Skype regarding this. You'll see that we *were* open to compromises, including the possibility that trained Kempeitai individuals could be able to detect alien ship equipment, but McNeo made clear that as long as our ships mount Nomad equipment, he will metagame on any of his characters because clearly, everybody can do a quick scan of a military vessel, detect strange energy signatures and positively identify Nomad guns, which is also why we never bothered making the Aoi Iseijin a stealth faction, instead opting to be yet another "hostile on scanners" lolfaction.

Of course, you're still welcome to discuss this subject with us. Just, this time, please refrain from trying to break our RP completely and degrading us to yet another unlawful faction.

This is why you should avoid trying to talk about subjects which you haven't the slightest clue about. AW had nothing to do with Stargate. The name Asgard didn't come from Stargate either, it's a name from Norse Mythology. It was a symbolic name.

Research, brainstorm, think, then post.

Reversing that order isn't recommended.

I believe You should Rethink your Roleplay and Write the Back story to go with it.

You should start out with a Small ship, People You kill = One more to add to your Crew.
Take screenshots of the Kills, BUT Roleplay with them before Hand.
You could also be a form of Junker Corsair Ghosts where You Salvage the Destroyed vessels metal to add onto your own vessels.

I've been a Witness to your Roleplay and Your actions in the Past, I don't believe You have the right to slop around in a Osiris shouting "Need Souls" Pew Pew.

So Please, Write up your Roleplay, Start off in a Titan and work your way upto a Battleship.

And please remember You Don't Have A Terrorist ID, You Haven't Got The Right To Engage Without A Reasonable Demand.

We decided that trying to fix you wasn't going to work, so we didn't go to the effort.
