And yet we give RP notice in advance just because it's the right thing to do -- not because we have to, but because it'd be fair to give that person's base a fighting chance.
If they don't want to respond, well, tough cookies.
This is a roleplaying server. Roleplaying is required here.
Lets have a look at a scenario.
3 new guys decided t build a Base.
They spend a few hours building it and getting a shield built and a storage built. (during this time somebody has noticed and tells his friends).
The new guys decide to call it quits for a few hours to get something to eat and talk to wife/girlfriend/dog etc.
Bad guys turn up with 5 BSs and quickly post on the Forums (as this is a RP Server) and 2 seconds later open up on the Base. 12 minutes later 'Dead Base'. Bad Guys move ships away and log off to talk to their wife/girlfriends/dog etc. An hour later new guys log on and hey presto a magic trick of a disappearing Base has been invented.
New guys say hey its an RP Server after all and they did post. Nevermind we will spend another pile of hours redoing our work.
Really?
