' Wrote:Everyone quoted Xoria on this , but not one person actually tried to answer the questions he raised.... This is nothing but stimulation for the factions to try to be at their best at all times. That is what I believe in.
Well, Xoria quoted me so I need not answer it, considering he answered it himself, I believe, in his own post. There is no way anyone can conclusively prove bias.
Your second paragraph was already addressed by the Demonic Stray, so no point in saying anything about it.
You say people are over-reacting because of what "might happen"? We are talking about things which have happened, and failed in the past. You are more than welcome to do what you want with "your" faction and "your" members, just leave the independents alone.
It is a plausible scenario. If it can be conceived, it can be achieved. Likely and plausible? Yes, it can be. Some official factions which represent parts of an NPC faction are not all the best of friends. Hence, this situation is not only plausible, but is likely to occur.
People should not feel inspired to improve their RP in order to control independents, but simply for the benefit of RP and the community. Your difference which you want establish will be a split in the server, not exactly something I want, but then again I do not know about you.
You want to feel trusted and important? Welcome to Earth. There are seven billion of us, most wanting exactly the same thing. There are over 9000 people in this community, again, most wanting the same thing. You fail to realise an independent's need to feel important. Oh wait, your answer to that is to join a faction and work your way, eventually gaining enough rank and respect to feel trusted and important? Unfortunately, some of us have a life outside FL, regardless of how difficult a concept that is for some people to realise. Hence, some cannot be in so many official factions. (Also, how hard do you think it is for an independent capital ship to gain respect on this server is? How about to gain trust and to be important? It is not a walk in the park.)
' Wrote:And that's the crux--its equally applied or its unfair. Factions don't want meddling--agreed. Neither do the rest of us. Let it stop there then.
As said previously, the situation miraculously changes once the boot is on the other foot.

People always read these things and extrapolate the notions into these massive moral questions and you read it and you're like 'Man, it's freelancer. Sure in theory I don't want to discriminate against anyone or whatever, but when I'm playing my spaceship game I don't want to have my little spaceship chased by 5 giant spaceships who don't talk english.'
Turning this stuff in to big objective questions about right and wrong and people's rights just doesn't fit for a little computer game designed for fun.
Right, then you should have no problems with independent, non-english speaking capital ships killing you or not following your orders right?
