This is a shout-out to Hoova, God MC. You all know him, thats JZ.
Okay, soo... Nuts and bolts of the situation. All info based from Here
I really... REALLY think the LN needs some... Redecorating. To avoid a slightly flamish tone, I'll list things in a monotoned order. Hopefully none of you will go, "OMGTEHGBIASEDOPINIONLEEVELEEVENAOB4TEHADMINBANZU!".
1. When there are 10 of you online, you don't need three Dreadnoughts out. Get the other two of your people out of them, and have one. The Missouri is there for the protection of Liberty, she doesn't need three more outside helping her scan passersby.

OH MEH GAWSH AN AVENGER IS UNDER FIRE! BREAK OUT THE FLEET!
It was unnecessary and quite honestly, a not-so-creative nor semi-intelligent excuse for liking a big ship. IF one of you has bad connection or is better in a dread, again, the other two should break out their lovely little Guardians.

I've been through this with the LSF. They haven't really done much recently so I'm not sure if they took my suggestion, but I'll say it again here.
If nobody except two other people know about it in the community, how does that benefit the community? It doesn't. It benefits you, and when that secret little arrangement that nobody else knows about gets trifled with (Unwittingly of course) it gives you a reason to annihilate something.
How many special teams in a military get sent into a situation without knows? "Hey, Bravo team, we want you to storm the estate. Al-Akiliwamdoojad should be somewhere inside."
"Sit-rep on the surroundings, sir?"
"You'll figure it out."
Turns out, there are mines, armed guards, mounted machine guns, guard dogs, spotlights, and Ethiopian mercenaries. They didn't know it was going to go FUBAR. "Just another mission," say they. See, Cray thought, "Just another Cardamine bust" while you (representing the lazy un-fortelling leader) greedily twiddled your thumbs and fired up your cannons.
Capt. Noobius seems to share my sentiments on this train of thought (post #18) as well as Jimmy on post #33.

Kearsarge, what you are doing, by saying that you executed Valence, is powergaming.
You are not supposed to control the life of the other player's character without his/her express permission.
While I agree with you in this regard, I'm not all too impressed with LN forum RP either. It seems like you trying to annihilate somebody's right to be in Liberty seems like powergaming too, especially since its such a "hush hush" operation and he couldn't have known. See, I *could* infiltrate some hierarchy then make all these secret plans which I have safely saved in a text document then go, "DAI! U SUQ MEH ROOLZ SO I PWN U for... Something you didn't know about."
It seems like both sides are just trying to pile on more stuff to counter-act the others' point. Well... I suppose this is an unfairly pointed question seeing as how most militaristic forum politics are like this, but hey... This is for everybody, asking them to improve their thought process to not ONLY try to achieve what they want.
Side 1 posesses A which is a big hole in Side 2's plot.
Side 2 suddenly (and magically) posesses B, which counteracts A and kicks Side 1 in the nuts.
5. Finally, don't use the word "soldier" in reference to the Navy. I'm sure any real soldier would punch you for that statement. Same goes for calling Marines soldiers. They are not, and I can tell you from experience that they strongly dislike the Army. So don't use Navy and Marines in corrolation, okay? The Marines may technically be a department of the Navy, but they are indeed the men's department.
5.1 Okay, I lied, this is Finally. Finally, don't all the LN get all self-riteous and start a flame war. These are problems I see and that need fixing. None of the JG flipped out during the community's barrage of... Not-so-friendly criticism and back-handed insults. Thats, all.
