READ THIS - The Joker - 04-28-2010
' Wrote:I haven't read this thread, nor do I care to. Nor do I even care to finish reading the first post.
To preface: I don't like the Joker.
That said, he had a Tridente. And even if his permission for his Tridente was taken away, he should still get to fly his ship. The permission was there, so unless it was magically destroyed (which only he can really say it is) then there is no reason for him to lose it. Parts are available across Sirius.
I asked an admin about this kind of situation, and the response I got when I asked was, "If you get permission, the ship is yours. If you lose it later, it is still yours."
So, I don't like you, but I understand your "right" to your ship. Ignore anyone trying to take away your Tridente and go play the game.
Even if I hate you.
And your character.
Imports. Bah.
Well... You don't have to... like... hate me that much. Why don't you simply not-adore me? Haha.
Either way I have nothing against you mainly because I don't know much about you. Actually I respect the people who tell the truth, whatever it might be, but straight into one's face. And not like some rats in a dark room, hidden behind your back.
Kudos to you for hating me but taking few moments to reflect your humble and objective opinion.
Btw... are you sure you don't know me by some other, non-import character who happen to interact with yours all the time? Rhetorical question. See ya.

There you go. You've easily got enough reasoning and RP to fill one of these out.

I was just about to vote and then I realised that Option 2 is the same as Option 1.

That's why I incorporated "and some others" into that. Believe me, if I didn't see a problem here I wouldn't address it. You've also go to consider the context in which the comment was posted and the surrounding opinions being thrown into the discussion. People respond to posts entirely different to other people and it is this that I have to be watchful for. Trust me, I double check the situation and all contributing factors before stepping in, that's my job and I hope I carry it out to a standard that you can agree with.

Another thing. RP thing.
Maltese naval forces (BLS, 101st or whoever) won't come to Joker's mansion and kindly ask to give his Tridente back. Joker's a terrorist, pretty of notorious one. And he has trained guard. His men. They're no idiottas (RP-wise). Dab's request has been made in wrong way. Joker's stolen this Tridente now, there shouldn't be wonder like Admin click - no ship... powergaming much, eh?

I agree with you and what Virus said.
As I mentioned in my first post.
He has been given permission once, that's enough, and should be as well.
If not, a SRP would fix that.
READ THIS - Stoat - 04-28-2010
I'm glad that Virus has posted what he did, with regards to the Tridente, but I'd like to have that affirmed by an admin.
It is my opinion that you should automatically get an SRP for this vessel now that Outcast approval has been revoked. However, since I'm not one of the admins, my opinion doesn't really count in the long run.
The only thing I'd say is to maybe phase out your use of the Tridente slowly to reflect the hardship of finding parts for it, now that the outcasts have refused to deal with you.
Either way, I hope you continue flying, because I enjoy your RP.

Another bullet in the gun pointed at the head of Discovery.
I've always felt that Disco was by-and-large a clone of /B/, with its trolls, tards, and jerks of all shapes and sizes. Still, I've tried to convince myself that the general leadership is above the rest of the crap, that they don't stoop to making things personal, that they are immune to bias. I try so hard to have nothing but the greatest respect for the angelic awesomeness and impartiality of the people running this show. Unfortunately, I am time-and-again forced to acknowledge that there is no God where Discovery is concerned. It is like a bunch of politicians all being controlled by special interests over public interests. Sure, 90% of the time justice prevails (don't want to bee too harsh here), but every person has that single issue over which, when it comes up, they let their personal feelings get the better of them and they show their dark side.
Joker doesn't deserve this crap. This sort of quasi-fascist policy on ship/tech-control on behalf of certain people leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I've been victim of it myself and while the bad blood it caused for me has long since been cleared up, it is impossible to forget what it feels like to be on the receiving end of the crap-cannon. I sympathize with the clown 100%. Furthermore, it's truly sad when something of this sort requires Trial By Forum (which this most certainly is) to inform the rest of us. Because it's highly unlikely that anything is going to happen to make this right.
I am disappoint. Truly, I am.
I foresee another 15 members silently ragequitting without notice.
Or am I the only one who has noticed that Disco's player count at any given time has reduced from 160+ to 40+ ?
The numbers do the talking.
