Onca, the Outcast Clique message dump is a fancy way of saying [GoR] message dump. We didnt have a tag at the time, and I couldnt just say Outcast message dump because then any tom dick and harry would be posting there.
Its no more selective than the phantom messaged dump, the SF dump or any other dump infact. Maybe it should be retitled the Outcast [GoR] message dump.
As for preserving the "outcast clique".... to a degree yes, if current trends continue in about a month every single character on the server is going to have an outcast ID and tag, so, whose going to kill anyone? we are allgoing to be allied and its bloody annoying. Maybe a different approach should be taken, somehow we have to get people to start taking a different ID and tag, is good that a corsair faction has been started i think thats excellent. But it still doesnt tackle the fact that we now have several (stupid, non rp base) characters flying around with outcast tags and IDs purely because they have seen us with them and want to be a part of it without putting in any effort. I have no doubt that when people stop using outcast IDs, they'll probably use Xeno ID's purely so they can gain immunity from the Phantoms (please check out the NG).
Sorry if it comes across arogant and bitchy, but what can i say, i can't help how i was born.... least im honest ;)
