ADMIN NOTICE : OFFICIAL FACTION RIGHTS

[worldstrider]

Deiter...I think you are missing the point of some of us who dissent. You proposed this with a firm idea in your head of how it would work and you are agreeing with yourself on the points you have already decided.

My point--and I think a few others--is that PLAYERS should not be given the powers of ADMINS. Part of the problem we have now are admins who play and lean heavily to one side or the other because of it. The last thing we need now is to institutionalize the power of the groups that pushes for that lean. Server rules should equally apply and enable and restrict all.

The "I trust you point" has one flaw--personal pronouns. You trust this one but not that one..they trust another but not a different one--and on and on. Bottom line is, those who aren't connected, get no trust and thus get no say. They are able to be set aside by admins or players and there is nothing they can do about it. We get a "class" server. Those who were here and are known and jockied for power are in charge and those who come after get the crumbs from their table unless they can shine shoes and whistle on cue.

A lot of us are saying, "Ahem...we don't trust all these people you do". Some of the most childish players on the server head or are key members of factions. I would hate to see them acting as admins.

I may be wrong, but I think this decision isn't just a topical one based on an issue of the moment--I think its going to determine the success or not of Disco in the long term. I really would encourage you not to do this--and it has nothing to do with battleships really.
