I'd like to think I'm known for RPing my caps (Mainly the Immortal.Hunter and the [LN]-LNS-San.Francisco) and yet I have no RP for the San Francisco on the forums, does that mean I shouldn't have it?
Don't punish people who dislike writing and just want to have fun. Not all the cap users out there are idiots.
True, I know that we are not supposed to be biased when choosing which people will get their shiny caps but on a sub-conscious level we are biased anyway so why not let the people who we know are good RP'ers have a cap at a discounted level and then those who are not very well known around the community do what Dream said. People like Seth have done the hard yards to get their caps and RP them well. The new people around here will have to work like they did to become an established RP'er in the community. If we do it this way then most newer people will turn out to be better people in this place, if we have them write an RP story when they get here and understand what's going on then it can only lead to better things. We would no longer have people going around for two weeks trading, figuring out they no longer like the game and then go on a rampage in their new battleship and then leaving.
