Background
People have been breaking the Six Commandments of the universe for quite some time. But often, when these perpetrators risked their fates, the witch hunters didn't kill them. No, something far worse happened. They prayed to the lesser Admins of Sirius, who would unleash their fury upon these infringers. Some found credits spontaneously missing from their hold; some disappeared altogether. (Some also found themselves in a box with insufficient instructions as to how to get out.) No matter, for justice is done in the universe.
OORP goals
- bring together all the witch hunters (of yore) in Discovery
- stop oorp
- stop ooc
- stop cap whoring
- stop hacking
- stop speedmodding
- stop rules lawyering
- stop questionable forum threads which serve no purpose other than satire
General rules
- You must be able to take screenshots instantaneously and frequently
- You must take screenshots instantaneously and frequently
- You must submit at least one rule violation report a day
- You must at least pretend to know/be friendly with the admins
- Stay active if you want
- Don't break server rules... like really really don't. if you break one tiny rule, YOU'RE OUT. Like, really out. We don't make exceptions. Not even for you. Yes, you. Don't break them.
Primary goals
- sate the lesser Admins' hunger
- colonize all of Sirius
- relocate that annoying jumphole which is behind the two suns in Omega 15
Naming Convention
You basically have to explain yourself in your name.
For example, take player Bob. Bob likes banning players who inappropriately use capital ships.
Bob's faction name would then be "Because_It's_A_Cap". In this way, we don't even have to include the faction's tag ("WHY") in our names. Pretty clever, eh? Mhm, it is.
If you're IN a capship, you really shouldn't be. Like, not at all. Because being in capships is bad unless you've spent an infinity years in the faction and really really really really really like it and have saved up enough money to corrupt your trader account by now. So don't get one unless we say you can, don't beg us for one, etc., you basically don't need one. Just dodge stuff in an Arrow instead, I mean, that's even better.
Equipment
Weapons:
Print screen
Beam weapon mod
Ships:
Corsair gunboat
Raven Claw
Red Catamaran
Arrow
Battlestar Advanced
Recruiting Process
First, complain about a rules violation which you couldn't report in the Rules Forum and subtly reference any high-ranking faction members in your post. Since this is the only forum we actually spend our time on, we'll see it and notice you. We'll then send you a blank PM. Respond to it with a crappy excuse for RP that we could slide you in with, and we'll get you your Arrow. We also give an extra 100m out to newbies just for spending on whatever they please. No paybacks. In your application, please include arbitrary information which has no effect on gameplay nor your roleplaying experience, such as eye color, height, weight, bra size, shoe size, hairstyle, and skin color. We don't discriminate. Pinky swear.
Sigma 13
Thought I'd address this since I'm a pretentious jerk who thinks he's experienced enough to make a faction and know everything about the mechanics of Sirius. You're allowed to be in S13 and no one can shoot you. If anyone does, run to an admin. Take a screenshot (given) and also double post in the violation reports forum. Use the screenshot twice, but don't crop it, that'd be bad. Even better, make the two posts different.
Altering screenshots
DON'T DO IT. If you're caught, we'll make one up as revenge showing you pirating everyone in Sirius in a Battlestar simultaneously and send it to all the other admins who weren't online at the time. And then you'll be banned.:yahoo:
Rank system
Rulebook thumper
Basic rank, must carry a copy of the truncated server rules at all times in hold
Cameraman
Promotion from Thumper; must haul Pharmaceuticals to planet Manhattan on a regular basis just to try and trick lawfuls into threatening you thinking it's Cardamine.
Whiny trader
Fly any cargo ship you like, but whenever someone pirates you, make a stink for half an hour about how the pirate's breaking some rule.
Whiny gunboat
MUST CARRY H FUEL! FILL UP YOUR INVENTORY WITH H FUEL! REQUIRED OR YOUR GUNBOAT WILL BE SCRAPPED BY [WHY].
Besides that, whenever someone kills you, come back in system, claim the 4 hour timer got reset, and ask for your h-fuel back. If they don't give it back, screenshot it in your foe's hold and post a violation report for not helping RP.
Whiny battleship
Same goes as for the gunboat, but you also need to pay a large train an exorbitant fee to follow you around with a full hold of h-fuel, since ships run on h-fuel. Maybe some MOX too, since that's what big ships actually run on. In addition, you need to complain about bombers ramming you. Take screenshots of npcs ramming you and claim they're real people, so you can get their guns removed.

In order to fulfill its stated goal of "- stop questionable forum threads which serve no purpose other than satire", this faction must immediately nerf itself. It has therefore been granted the guard system accessible from the black hole in Omicron 85. It's a one way trip, but at least it will be RP pristine on the other side.

Wait, we can certainly give them top omicron minor (nomad lair interior) for all purposes and intents: nothing gets and nothing gets out, at least they could play soccer with power cell in there.
It's not right... I'm in agreement with Xoria, by your own mission statement this faction should have imploded by now giving birth to something even more satirical/universe ending. However I think I might eb able to send a few folks your way, I have a list. Does that list get me in?
Otherwise expect a whiny forum post heading in your direction...
Saint Del is considered a holy healer of diseases of children, but also as a protector of cattle.
