Locking unofficial faction threads

[Reverend Del]

Sorry I picked yours to jump off of but you had the most info I agree with and can use. Whats the point of paying 500 million. Admin hasnt held up their end of the bargin and, now they lock down noobie faction threads. Why not just give the folks you like a password and lock the whole server or, are we outsiders here just to play the "smart"NPCs, which is why we must stick to NPC configurations and factions and dare not venture into new ground.

I may have missed it but it seems that since the 500 million "deal was put up, I have seen no new factions put into place. Heck does anyone who hasn't had a faction before that know what a official denial or acceptance even looks like?

500 million? Scam, if you ask me I'd rather have my money back. Its appearent that only insiders that get to scyp with admins get what they want. Admin was quick for the 500 million but cant give the detailed responce they promised so, a player can work into the community.

I say forget the officail crap. We are forgotten, on that level. All thier friends have factions and therefore they even have thier own.

I find it real hard to believe that RP was just SO GOOD back in the good old days. I'd like to see the old factions jump through the same hoops. Lets do some server house cleaning and redo all factions. Everyone send in the same junk.

I for one have not seen any RP with most of the officail approved "good" factions yet. It's more like this is a novelist club with ships to fly, than a role playing game. Most RP is done on forums, and I've seen a growing number of "books" being written.

If you know the out come and how many "chapters" are in it already then you NOT roleplaying. Your writeing a book. Which means you either ignore what happens in game, which means your ooRP, which means your sanctionable.

Or you ignore whats happening in your story and play according to your tag and ID an otherwise lifeless character with no life off the forums.

At least these folk want to get community feedback, are we so ungrateful of new comers, that we delete thier threads, make demands and do not follow through with our own end?

Actually for most of my character based stories I write as I do things, more often than not I write a few months behind my in game actions. The only "book" I'm wriitng has nothing to do with Discovery and is an alternate time line story.

Secondly I know my LR are RPing they provide me with screenshots to proove it.

Thirdly the LR and the XA got official status not because we are in with the Admins but becasue our factions were directly linked to existing NPC factions, filling in the blanks as it were. Thusly they were easy to reject or accept. The same goes for most of the accepted factions before the 500million bond and after the Admin only faction approvals system.

Yes recently there has been a hiatus on Faction approvals, but I highly doubt it's becasue the Admins are happy with what's out there. Disco is and always has been about the people that play it. The Admins facilitate this. If we want an IMG faction and we think it's good enough, then they will consider it, when they have the time. It seems that time is limited for them at the moment. Patience, even though you have exercised plenty so far, is still a virtue.
