Restricted access to Alaska through 'keys'/'codes'

[gafwmn]

Pardon me,but I am one of the so-called "monkeys" that sits and guards that gate.

Personally I like the idea of codes AND a gate "shield" like the trade lanes.Between the two,that will stop the oorp travel into z21,and allow RP'ed zone access.

Too many times all of us lawful forces guarding the gate have been laughed at cause the trader (or intruder)speed docks with the gate on either side.

They dont care about the RP value of the gate,only that it is a short-cut to teh New York system from the Omicrons.

"This is an incredibly silly idea. You already have a bloody embargo on Z21, just learn to enforce it. There's plenty of monkeys running about in BH and LN capships, tell a few of them to plant themselves over the Alaska gate and shoot people without the approprate tag and ID. If you can't enforce your own RP Laws, don't try to make the server do it for you."

And some of you STILL think its an RP issue,well it is.

Its not our on our side though, its on the side of everybody that uses it for OORP reasons.
Traders,smugglers,you name it.

You know, I played D&D (1st edition) years ago. And I have played with people that if one of their chars knew something,ALL their chars knew that info. They didnt last long in our campaigns.Because thats not role-playing.....thats called Meta-gaming.

Think about it.
