' Wrote:Why? Because i gave up after writing, re-writing, and revising the story 3 seperate times, all of them rejected making it nothing but a waste of my time, ideas, and credits? Only to be told that "it's not a no answer, keep working on it". Hours a day for over a month, allmost two, when others are sometimes accepted in a matter of days with less in-game activity or forum rp than i had.

So where are they? I've stayed up til 7am many times, trying to refine the story or catch a Keeper in-game, so yea, did the staying up 24/7 JUST for 1 line of RP before they quickly logged out as if to avoid any rp at all. It's not like keepers really even have a regular presence on the server, they log in, make a raid somewhere, then log out. Woo, lotta chances for other "nomads" to rp with keepers even when they are online.
I started at the bottom. I was humble, asking questions, decyphering, researching, altering the story even though i didnt want to. I was patient, waiting over a month. I tried not to rush things, waiting, waiting, waiting, more waiting. I researched everything i could find. I only gave up after feeling like Treewyrm and his minions have something personal against me, which it now seems is obvious with things being said like: "some people" or "for other people" or "Still, new members are accepted from time to time, for example three players were accepted recently." obviously targeting me by saying "anyone and everyone but you" is it cuz im american? Too old? Not part of your clique? Do i need to make a server donation? What is it that makes me so freakin "evil" and "unwanted" by you and your posse?
If its about trust and possibly being a pvp whore, HA, i think you should know by now that i am not a pvp whore... People can do that every minute of every day in newyork or any other system as normal characters, why would i take the time to write and rp as a nomad while getting shot BY them and every other npc, if all i wanted to do was pvp?

No offense, but i'll suggest the same thing here that someone did with RM, if Treewyrm is so "busy" with forum rp, modding, writing nomad rp/a book, life, whatever. Then maybe he should pass the in-game leadership to someone who's accually plays in-game on a regular basis rather than just for a quick pvp or rp raid. Example: Group of Keepers Login-> Iota-> Delta-> Minor-> Alaska-> NY-> (insert some rp, a few kills, and 15-20 minutes) back to Iota-> Log out.

Oh, and its kinda hurting the RP of Order characters too. We can't interact with or fight this "VASTLY growing threat to humanity" when they are never around, and we are not supposed to openly attack BH or liberty, so i suspect this is why Bs| is somewhat inactive. The last time i was my Order character and DID see a keeper in-game, 3 nomad bombers and im in a capship, ha, they flew right past me like i wasnt even there, i was so shocked i didnt know what to do. It's about anyone who RP's as Nomad/Order and wants to do more than sit around chatting or fighting npc nomads. So from my point of view it's not just about "being" a nomad or my specific playtime anymore.
***We don't mix our personal matters with roleplay.***
So yea, i gave up and grew hateful, when what i was getting is an obvious "screw you, your friends, AND your other characters". So the nomads i cared so much for died and i went back to having fun again instead of wasting my time waiting and trying to rp with an almost non-exsistant (from my pov) group.

***Keepers are allowed to attack on sight any target other than Nomads (not even NPCs)***
Have Keepers/Nomads ever abandoned a pure nomad and left it to die in-rp? Or even killed one by NOT helping it when they knew it needed thier help and it was less than 2k from ***home...***?
If not, then by inaction/inactivity you allowed these two pure nomads to be the first. Hoorah.

I have been playing here nearly that long, and i don't really consider Keepers a "new" or "active" faction. Sorry, in my opinion your just not in-game enough to support the massive and specific rp you write and lay claim over. Plus by being so restrictive and specific your cutting out alot of possible RP from the good indys that could fill that space when "keepers" arent around.
Wow. That just changed my view of RPing as a Nomad (Keeper) completely. That just outright sucks, that's it. I was thinking of *attempting* to join the Keepers faction but after reading your post I think I just lost faith in trying. I mean I know it wouldn't be easy to get into the Keepers (especially because I am new here) but that's ridiculous.
I mean when I first started playing Freelancer way back when and saw a Nomad for the first time I was pretty much mesmerized by their mysteriousness and I had wanted to try to play as one. Discovery does give you the option of playing as one and its probably one of the few mods that does, but that's, as I said before, ridiculous, insane even.
Maybe one day I will try to join the Keepers but for now I think I'll stick to Freelancing and see what happens.
