ADMIN NOTICE : OFFICIAL FACTION RIGHTS

[worldstrider]

Off topic in reply to Rudo:
I fully understand the annoyance of oorp Junkerism in Kusari. For the record, I don't dock Kusari bases--tempting as it is--and in fact have told Junkers passing by "suspiciously" that they aren't to do so either.

On Topic in regard to Rudo's comment"
"Fragile RP Environment" to me says, "We have made ourselves a nice little rp niche here and don't want anyone besides those we have invited to come." Sorry, you can ask for that but you can't demand it--especially if people are actually pursuing role play there in a public system and especially if their faction rp brings them there legitimately.

That brings us to the above topic:
I am peeved at your intrusion into my beautiful role play--say at Rochester. I have established myself as the "governor of Rochester" and have players who play that with me there and you show up as some "Junker military commander who doesn't answer to a governor"--in fact, you have a small unofficial faction playing group of tough bitten indie Junkers. I happen to also have started an official faction incorporating this role play and get your role play altered or your character account punished since you present a role play I don't want to accept. Your group has to move (even if the location is important to their rp) or drop their current rp and invent a new one. One role play needs to adapt to the other--if they are plausible within the generic faction allowances (ie, no "I am an alien and eat all your ships and mind control you all" or "I am a Junker resistance group that wants us all to be Hogosha"--etc, etc.) I don't want one "official" group (of any kind) telling all the indies and varied unofficial groups of their faction type "how they must play". It becomes THEIR server then and you are an unempowered guest on it. Just beating the horse here. Get an official purchased system and you can do some very creative rp there--uninterrupted.

Regarding the below:
Please consider that many "Junkers"--especially those docking oorp and the like--are simply financial accounts and not actual faction players. Many like to smuggle and choose Junkers as they are ubiquitous. This is a case of poor players. Not a reason to embargo Junker rp in an entire house. We dealt with the same thing with PVP Bounty Hunters, indie pirates, Dragon battleships, KNF battleships and bounty hunter battleships camping Yanagi and blowing us away all the time. We never asked for "control of Sigma 13" from the admins or demanded certain ships/factions not be allowed there. Even though they particularly affected our very specific rp there quite negatively and with very bad play and frequent oorp behavior. You don't eliminate a right to correct a wrong. I want happy enemies too--and want to helpfully play with them But not at the end of constant whining, questioning, accusing and insult. That isn't 'playing" and that is the core problem.

A concession on a topic does not mean a concession in ideology. I'm all for giving them a bit of breathing room if they're asking for it.

Agreed. Perhaps they should learn to actually ask then.
