ADMIN NOTICE : OFFICIAL FACTION RIGHTS

[Thexare]

nor even remotely proven that it can fix it better than Admins taking badly behaving battleships away from their owners without restricting the freedoms of everyone else on the server.

I'm pretty sure that a proposal for the admins to restrict them has come up multiple times, and been shot down every time including by some (most? maybe all?) of the admins.

Tell me this, however. How many admins regularly play in Omicron Alpha? Omicron Eta? Sigmas? Taus? Liberty? Kusari? Rheinland? Bretonia? Omegas? Omicron Gamma? Gallia?

Do you have a single hole in the above list? If you do, having the admins do it is just as flawed as having the players do it. Ultimately we're left with either flawed regulation or a lack of needed regulation.

I've seen enough stupidity in the Omicrons to be grateful for this change. Scimitars obliterated by battleships without a word, raids consisting of mostly capitals from both Outcasts and Corsairs. There are abuses, and I don't trust the admins to handle them any better than the regular players can - on top of having even more power to potentially abuse, you already have a larger workload (therefore, you're more prone to overlooking details and making mistakes) and few of you spend sufficient time in the areas with these problems to understand them.

You're no better than us, you just have more power because of a popularity contest.

Though I cannot speak for any other factions, if the Outcast Dons are suspected of abuse, all the admins have to do is contact me. I'll give the relevant Skype logs to the admins, whether I agree that it was abusive or not.

Would the admins do the same if their actions were considered suspect? That is of course a rhetorical question, I already know the answer.
