Mr. Dusty. You were the ADMIN here. I recognize ya. I saw your picture in the forums. You, uh, chopped the capwhores and the lolwhutters up into little bits. And then you blew your brains out.
You ask me why Im weary, why I cant speak to you.
You blame me for my silence, say Its time I changed and grew.
But the war's still going on dear, and theres no end that I know...
And I cant say if were ever...
I cant say if were ever gonna be free.
Happens to the LR all the time. Recently, there's been a bunch of people tagged [LR] rolling around. I had a talk with one of them, and haven't seen any players tagged [LR] since. They might still be there, I dunno...
There actually was one called [LR]Cristian or something. He was one day in space and got a Sanction. Dusty renamed him to some Water Bottle.
There was also one earlier imposing to be one of ours with a [LR] tag against the Legacy.
"Who is it doing this synthetic type of alpha beta psychedelic funkin'?"
Its not about being "Order|". If all the fleet has "ZOMGZOMG|" soon people will put that tag before their names because it looks appealing, it is popular and so.
Typical human psychology. Actually, if I can find my books, I will write the exact term here as well. It was a sub behaviour under mirroring behaviors I believe.
If they want to identify themselves with the NPC faction while not being part of the PC faction, they could just as easily stick 'Order-' or [Order] in front of their names. They don't need to use the | thingy which identifies people as being in the player faction.
This does not just apply to the Order|. It also applies when someone says, gee, I want to be a bounty hunter, so I'll just do what those guys already do and put a BHG| or BHG|Core tag on my ID. If you're not an official member of our faction, then it's not acceptable. There was someone running around with a Harvester tag that wasn't part of that faction - he had to change his name. It goes back to the Official Rights of Factions.
Quote:RESPONSIBILITIES ASSOCIATED WITH RIGHT 1
1) Official factions have the responsibility to clearly define the traits, objectives, and operational methods that identify their members. Those methods should be implemented responsibly, and with reasonable consideration towards adversaries who may be outnumbered or overpowered, but who nevertheless are entitled to similarly pursue contrary objectives. Official factions are guardians of the reputation of their NPC faction in general, and should always seek to act in ways that cause it to be respected.
RIGHT 2) Official factions have authority over players of the same NPC affiliation, as long as RP justification is provided.This authority applies in forums and in-game, and applies to player faction diplomacy, and strategic and tactical direction. However, exercise of that authority, on the forums and in game, is restricted to official faction members with the rank of the official faction leader and one rank below him/her. The authority may be exercised through the use of in-game in-RP orders, which, if not obeyed, can result in in-game in-RP consequences (arrest, court martial, and even lethal force in extreme circumstances). Official Factions cannot, under any cicrumstances, require another player to follow non-canon RP if that player doesn't want to.
The tag is sign of being an official faction member, whether it's .:J:., TAZ, BHG|, Order|, LN, LPI, XA ... The official factions have responsibilities, and should take them seriously. Indies - well, quite honestly, you see what happens at times with indies. We don't want them representing us, because of the issues that causes.
