As the subject matter of this post states, I have a fear of not remembering the rules of this Mod. I have a strange affair with DIsco mod coming from Asgard server ( dont intent to popularise with the mention, but rather to suggest the difference in gameplay and rules) few years back.
That time I was suffering from a RL disorder that showed in my quick temper online. Needless to say I got banned before I could wink and one veteran admin came as far as to say - 'do not let the door hit you on your way outside', as i exclaimed I am leaving this mod..
Year and a half later I came back a little better individual with respect to my anger control. I believe a lot in here can identify with this scenario. To be honest, I think the presence of strict rules and the will to impose them made me and I believe many of us in here, to change our behavior, to get disciplined and to follow the rules.
I changed characters giving my old one to someone and now it is gone I believe, so last year in May I started with a fresh ID.
But in the last few years especially from the time when I had my old ID and 101st char, the rules have been added further.
TO be very honest I face this predicament of not remembering enough rules to make it through the day. I try to resist reporting on few occassions like just two days back a fellow without a Roleplay came out of the jumplane and killed my BH ship on his Gunboat. No Roleplay, no warning, no beef.
I choose not to report him since I did not have heat signatures tracked (read logfiles checkbox activated).
Many times I seriously feel should I do this or should I do that. like going out of my system and in House system if I assist a lawful player in hunting down a unlawful player or assist in bring his ship/freighter etc down. Since that shall not be in my zone of influence, will that be legal or will that amount to being sanctioned.
I am not complaining against the existence of rules but against the access of rules. I did remember two days back mentioning to one of a friend who I come to know in the mod to be an Admin, that how I feel afraid of the Admins and the rules and have a fear of not following enough rules.
I have invested my time that I get after office hours, in this mod. And though it is no way in comparision with some other players who have given their heart and soul on this mod, I believe I am still afraid that the fear of not following or rather fear of someday ending up breaking the rules not with a wishful intention, is not making me exercise freedom in experiencing this mod.
I love Discovery server. I became its mouth advertiser to some of my friends even from the old server and atleast a friend in real life I know whom I introduced to Freelancer offline game.
I am writing to find solution to my problem. Kindly do not treat it as just another space filler. I want to enjoy the freedom and the bright side of this mod which I believe exists but unfortunately I am too timid to experience that.
be an butthole
follow ID
Roleplay good
Dont get yourself banned.
Look! We got a badass over here!
Anyway, as for your question, you could skip reading the POB or faction rights rules section, in that way you should be able to remember the important bit, although when dealing with a POB or faction you might have to read rules then.
Hi. Thank you for chipping in with your views. Much apprecaited.
Gypsie True. I enjoy but I need to enjoy more. I will try to remember the four ones mentioned. Though being an
ass.. is not on my agenda and I am no longer that sort of person in RL as well.
I will try to remember the ID rule which on my one BHCore id restricts me to Omicrons and I have not been able to reach there yet.
Thank you again for your encouragement and advice.
