Taking away the right of independent players to determine their own RP based on canon without being assaulted for doing so is contrary to the spirit of the server.
I find it rather amusing that most of the posts from people supporting all points of the measure are from faction leaders (or people one step below faction leaders, who are specifically mentioned in this proposal), who stand to gain a huge amount of power over other players through this measure.
Why do faction leaders feel the need to dictate the RP of others? It should not be a requirement for every player to check every hour for every new mandate dictated by every official faction of the player's NPC affiliation. Let people play and enjoy themselves.
