phantoms

[Dart]

They dont RP
They lolwut
They capspam
They are a terrorist ID

So I ask, why is a non-RolePlaying ID allowed in a Role-Playing server? I have never seen a phantom role-play for 5 months already. All they do is "oh [shiptype*]" and fire.

I understand xenos and gaians when they make reasonable/unreasonable demands.
I understand pirates demanding a full cargo
I understand a pirate who makes a unreasonable demand to pick a fight, that's RP.
I don't understand a random group of people that come from nowhere that suddenly start attacking random people for no apparent reason. why must characters, who have never seen these ID characters be forced to accept they they will be hunted without even knowing why they are hunted?
FFS The Wild has more RP than phantoms
Why doesn't everybody have access to this ID-type? why does a small group of people get to lolpwn anybody all the sudden for no reason?

Why is a phantom capship allowed to attack tradeships, but EVERYONE ELSE must only attack warships in a capship?


So I ask. What role, aside from OORP, do phantoms give to disco RP-server? I really don't understand and I have seen nothing but irrelevance and absurd stupidity coming from this ID.

please enlighten me, because I have seen nothing but absurd disruption from this group. [/flameshield]

IMHO - I put them on the list of OORP factions. Most of the members are ADMINS tbh - or afaik :|


Either way, they are hardly online. Phantoms members logs in like ... 1 or 2 times in 2 months? Just to get the character refresh and not deleted.

Let me guess, I just blew you up?

Just to let you know, the Phantoms have exactly one Admin in the faction. I think the Xenos have more. OH NOEZ! ZEENERS ARE ADMIN FACTION!

that is likely. however this was a post that I should have been done 1 month ago. [edit: in otherwords, this was the trigger]

I don't take it personally from you.
I honestly do not understand the purpose of the ID in a role-play server.

You do realize they were one of the first factions created, if not the first. Therefore they got special privileges. Deal with their terrorist activities of disrupting house corporations.

I will point out there are several other factions that can do exactly the same things we can.

Because your character cannot die, that's why you don't understand a terrorist who will kill you at sight without demanding a thing from you, or someone killing you to make their point.

When you get killed in this game, you think A) It was because it was a lawful/unlawful shooting you. B) You didn't pay the pirate, C) It's because you have a bounty on you.

And then you hit respawn... a lot of what the phantoms are is missed due to game mechanics.

But apart of that, don't take all out of the sudden that they are like this, perhaps you haven't seen him enough, I doubt that in 5 months you've shared so many interactions with them.

If you really want to RP with phantoms, I'd suggest you to ask ingame about them, maybe... MAYBE, you will find someone telling you about them.

But if you are urgent to know, read their faction status.

Or your last chance to get to know their RP.... apply to be one... perhaps you can teach them how to play the terrorist.

like wild and nomads who can only land on their own bases?

last time i saw a wild, they took the time to explain why they were killing me.

and it doesn't answer the question of the post

I was talking about phantoms as a whole. I'm not ranting about a specific player.
I don't think they would want somebody who made a rant against them >.>

Oh, your Mr. Kibbles, yea, I dont like people complaining that I dont rp enough with them, when they are hitting the Cruise button before I even get to them. If I hadnt had to CD to stop you, you may have gotten more talking out of me. Add to that.. poor boy, your a Junker, and Ze'ev kills Junkers, its what he does, for years. That's the definition of role play. Ze'ev kills junkers, I killed you, I played the role the way I should.

Edit: Oh, you want a detailed point by point response to your post, sure give me a couple of mins.
