Roleplay within server rules, there's a lot of creative stuff you can do without forcing people to break rules.
Harsh law is still a law.
The idea is that no matter the law is, it's still a law. This concept was advocated by Socrat the most, then he chosen rather die than run from the verdict of those times sophists who judged him.
In acient greece, people could run from their country and punishment, they were let do this. Even from death sentences. Why? becouse a guy who runs away leaves his all stuff. But Socrat understood that if he runs away, sophists will win, and shame his name like "Hey look your hero couldn't obide the law, he's an <whatever the cursword you want to add>" So he stayed and died leaving Platon after him.

Becouse of this, even the harsh rules are better than no rules at all.
No one can deny that there are times when proper role play can take you outside the rules. That's why we have SRP. Without that the door is open for anyone to do anything they want as long as they can give an RP reason for doing it and then we don't have rules anymore.
All I said was that you're misinterpreting or misusing the old Greek saying that laid ground for Draconic laws.
I can't believe I'm on the other side of the medal this time, but you're going on the kitten with a gun instead with another kitten. Rules should be obeyed at all times, but people seem to forget about 0.0 and about the fact that agreeing on things triumphs over all rules.
so if you do kill my char tomorrow and you grant me to stay where I want to, I can. But that's far from the limit. You can also allow me to dock on the station I'm hostile to, provided you're an official faction and you want to do the paperwork.
We can also talk smack in group channel if no one objects it.
We can break a lot of rules if we agree. Do not take them separately, think of rules and rp as a perfect symbiosis.
'sides, there's a difference between what you translated and what was said.
By your interpretation, one must follow the law no matter how draconic it is.
by the interpretation of a wise man who said the quoted text, he meant that if you disagree with the law, you shouldn't break it but try to change it.
Hah. law school paid off.
Ivan, I didn't mean to disagree with you because you make perfect sense. I just don't have that much faith in the entire community to use common sense all the time. When you leave the door open to subjective interpretation it's almost guaranteed that it will be abused.
Hahaha, I forgot about that. I feel appreciated. :$
[8:32:45 PM] Dusty Lens: Oh no, let me get that. Hello? Oh it's my grandma. She says to be roleplay.

Socrat lived after Dracon D: .. besides maybe his laws were quite harsh, people treated them as good ones. Since it was first attempt to codify laws of costums that protected lower populus from costum law missinterpretation which were been done oftenly by aristocrats. Solon later changed this but thats... quite another discusion.
Yes. If you allow to overstep limits which are placed by the server rules there is no telling what will happen afterwards. And where are those "Overstepping limits" in the end we will end up with even more rules which wil define how much you can overstep the current ones. Or simply move into an anarchy where rules serves just as recomendations.
we don't need that. If you have roleplay, which you think might be out of the boundorries contact an admin.
And yes I know. Rules have a lot of flaws and limits. But it's still better than nothing.

0.0 is like any main part of the codex. All other sections are just derivativs defining how this 0.0 part should be obeyed. Of course they do not consist everything, but the most important things.
