So Finn, this ID was created only because you and Conrad disliked a label of Zoner on your Zoner group? Ehm, Zoner ID has many roles to be played("stigma" is not really a reason to restore dead IDs), aswell Freelancer ID too. You simple run away from RP aspect and used admin powers to restore useless ID.
I wish every group in disco would have same abilities to run away from "labels" and "stigma". But it won't happen, yeah?
Wow Red. You want to bring up the IRG? Then lets.
You have it all wrong, and are making assumptions that are completely unfounded. If the IRG go for the Researcher ID, then we'll still fly with Zoner IFF, and still RP as Zoners. But as you JUST said, Zoners are not affiliated with houses. Guess what, the IRG's primary RP has been WITH Houses, thus going against the typical "Zoners don't deal with houses". So by having the origins and still be Zoners inRP and ooRP with the IFF, but with a Researcher ID, it thus avoids the typical "You're a Zoner, so I'm not going to deal with you" and instead allows for more RP. It allows people to see a Researcher first, and Zoner origin. Just like if I have a job, I'm not going to say "American or is a Researcher". I'll say I'm a Researcher, who just happens to be American. See the difference? Hence being Researcher ID as the JOB, and the Zoner IFF as where i'm from. Make sense? Oh wait, I'm sorry - RP outside of the Order or Phoenix Zoner is lost with you, and anything that isn't exclusive to Phoenix RP is not worth your effort. My mistake, I forgot.
Was Admin powers used to create this? No. So, you are wrong again. It was submitted as a request, and then Admins discussed and voted on it. Guess who DIDN'T vote on it? Me, considering I put forward the request. I abstained from voting on it, and let it be decided on from the other Admins.
Lastly, am I running away from RP if I decide to apply for the Researcher ID? No - I'm expanding it. I'm sorry that you feel that by leaving the Phoenix not being constrained by what YOU want with my RP is running away, but it's quite the opposite. I'm now in a position where I can explore RP as a Zoner AND a Researcher, should I choose.
So before you make accusations that really make no sense, and are based on false assumptions, maybe think "Hmm, maybe there is more behind the scenes that I don't know".
