About the whole CR Tech Permission

[fencore]

Furthermore, the rules were changed AFTER the permissions were given. The propper thing to do would have been to apply them like this only to the contracts that were made AFTER the rule change. Seeing to who is making a row over it (Gheis, Zelot, Dusty Lens, all who just happen to be in the Reavers who caused the whole issue of faction shooting tech granters in the first place), I think its very clear who is the "conspiracy" here.

I should make a note that the rules on tech permissions - those being Dieter's Admin Notice - were changed following an incident where a certain faction leader would grant tech, let the player put said tech on, then sneakily remove said permission without notice and then file a sanction report on the matter. The Reavers were in no way involved until the Corsairs were upset about said mercs shooting them with Corsair tech and then not being able to remove the permissions. The CR saw no issue in continuing to issue tech in the same manner following said announcement, almost a year ago.

The issue here is a simple one - the CR has removed their tech entirely without the consent of those who they made the deals with, and have failed to provide us with a reason that doesn't appear to go much farther than "we regret selling all that tech without care to examine who we were selling it to, and now want to undo our mistake". Offering credit deals after the fact is not going to cut it - the only way to make steps in the right direction is to restore the list as it was prior to removal. The CR granted a vast assortment of Nyxes, Pythos and such. Those who made deals with the CR should still have access to those. It is not up to the CR to determine who does and does not keep the technology. You sold it, boys - nobody forced you to. Now you must live with the consequences.

White Knight it all you want, folks, the fact of the matter is that the rules were broken, and the CR has exceeded their bounds. When provided with opportunity to correct the issue properly, all we received was more excuses and blame laid elsewhere. No more, no less. If attempting to enforce the rules is considered a smear campaign, then that I am guilty of.

Of course, then there was this, stated early last year:

Mao, you arent listening. The CR is not allowed by the rules to revoke tech permissions one they are given. That means all those Nyx's you gave out, are out of your control, out of the CR's control. You cant force people to give them up. Doesnt matter what the leadership of the CR decides. You can only ask the Admins to make people give them up..... not sure what the reaction to that would be.
