The pledge

[crimecities]

The point of this is not simply a list of taboo words and actions. Can anyone guess what the point is?

Edit: Lemme guess. The point is to encourage role-play and eliminate idioticy. I'll just follow this to the spirit and not the letter.

Now do you see where this is headed?

[Sprolf]

You can't be in the SCRA without the word corrupt.
What are imperialists? Corrupt.
Capitalists? Corrupt.

Etc... there isn't a really good synonym.

Now do you see where this is headed?

Yes.

I pledge to eat cheese and play in the spirit of the game, rather than following RP to the latter and ruining everyone's fun for pieces of equipment and/or credits and/or kill messages.

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.

I, Hawkwings, pledge to never say these words again in-RP.

"engaging"
"coward"
"corrupt"
"scum"

Furthermore, I pledge to never gloat after PVP, either winning (haha you suck and I am teh awesome) or fleeing (haha you suck, 10v1 and you can't even kill me). And don't get me started on gloating while sitting in an escape pod (haha you suck it took you and 10 friends 5 hours to kill me).

I hope that my commitment will make the server a batter place, and I hope you will join me in this effort.

ENGAGING COWARDLY CORRUPT SCUM! *PEWPEWPEW*

On a serious note, it is a little boring hearing the same words over and over again. Although the word engaging isn't one I wish to get rid of... How could I engage cruise without it?

I'd personally like to add "Greetings" to that list of highly overused words. This isn't the 16th century.

I certainly think 'scum' and 'coward' should have their use cut dramamtically, and 'corrupt' not just be leveled at everyone... Be a little more inventive, but also don't cut yourself off from using these words, they can be helping in some situations, just don't make the same cliched phrases the basis of your roleplay.
