Last time I checked, this thread was not a "Core - The complaination Album" Thread. It was an event thread hijacked to complain about the consequences of your actions which led up to the event.
This is an issue which could potentially be addressed: trying to control peoples conversation on a matter or trying to control peoples roleplay to benefit oneself or ones own group. Let people roleplay whatever they like, without ooRP BS (that frankly puts people off the mod entirely). Let people talk about whatever they like within server rules - whether that may be and how it affects you.
Last time Core or whatever faction decided to pwn on an indie, did he claim it to be a big oorp --- ? No, they didn't. Why is it different for Core? Why is different for factions? We all become attached to the roleplay we do, we all want it to succeed. Yet sometimes, that roleplay will run into an obstacle, a difficulty or flat out opposition. When faced with such a thing, what does a player do? In another game, one simply accepts the mechanics of the game and moves on... yet is that not what we do here? The forums, and the oorp communication, become one with the game mechanics in our minds - whether we choose to accept it or not. Yet, this is supposed to be non-kosher, right? How do we come to terms with it? By rationalising with ourselves that the community is out to get us - we ourselves know we do it, yet we excuse it as we need it to survive, right? Our ooRP becomes legitimised by the cruel world around us, and others ooRP becomes rulebreaker and victimisation.
As a community, we are in the pull of the vicious cycle of thinking. It effects how we play. It effects how we interact and think of each other. It leads to members of the community complaining about the very same point but arguing with pointed words whilst doing so. It leads to some players creating ooRP empires/networks and it leads to other leaving the community.
I urge us all to carefully consider how we engage with this mod to break out of this cycle - it brings us all at one point or another to the point of rage or misery, and that is a real shame. Or, perhaps... this post has "ooRP connotations."
