Then why aren't all the "negative" influences (evil clans,Pirates,Rogues etc etc) being removed or prohibited from this server so we can all play in perfect harmony and enjoy a happy and flurishing environment? O:-)

Naaa we want some bad guys, well in game bad guys, or theres no one to shoot at.

You know, 'evil', or 'hostile' doesn't necessarily mean 'negative'. Negativism isn't related to the chosen RP or the character of a particular clan, it is dependent on the behavior and attitude of the players, no matter in what type of clan they are in.

But I have already said that too many times...  :-<  #-o

[Strail]

I'm not negative neither inflamatory i just say how things are and i'm not scared to say it...if you can't stand the fact that what i say is true than that is your problem...
Hatchet made this post when all his whole clan moaned at me because i killed them and they called me lagger, cheater and so on telling me to not fight them ever again. Now that's sure a post made by someone that never moaned in 4 years of playing freelancer   . Sorry but i don't like incoherent people.

And Strail maybe you should play a little bit in the server and you will see how many "funny" stuffs you will find...oh gosh!

There you go, it doesnt take long to flame under the "i say it how i see it". Your post is an excellent example of taking a thread and trying to turn it in to a flame.

I think I must have missed this one before...

To my surprise 3 of the Void staff (if i'm not mistaken) are members of this clan.Now aren't the VOID's suppose to be the "good guys" of this server,helping others out and making sure to keep things in order?

Yes, in their [VOID] chars they do.
I'm surprised to see that so many people from whom one would expect better to have trouble separating simple things. Like with the RP-based vs. the arranged PVP attacks, this is the same. Is it me or is it so hard to see that [VOID] are also normal players, like you and me? Yes, next to policing the server they also have normal player chars. To use when they want to PLAY the game instead of policing it. That means that they are free to do as they please as long as they are out of their [VOID] suits. Or should every [VOID] be obliged to be in a Navy clan??? For what purpose?
And assuming for the sake of argument that your reasoning is right: Like I said many times before: a player's willingness isn't decided by the type of clan he's in, it's decided by his attitude and behavior. So in your logic, a [VOID] could be in a evil clan as well, helping players.

Let's keep this one on topic please as Hatchet's post is a very constructive one... / ...and sorry for bringing this off-topic.

Uhm, rrright.  @-) (Just kidding m8)

True, yesterday for example i took my bird into New Berlin and came across a Trader in an Armored Transport.I couldn't quite resist and opened fire on him given the fact that it is indeed a shooting game.
Killed him one time (note: a single time only) after 2-3 minutes he greened me that he would get me banned for what i did to him.
Thing is that the start message of the server states "you are likely to get killed by players,in particular those wearing an [X] or [R]" (or a similar message)
In my opinion most of the players come to the conclusion that only [X] and [R] tagged players are suppose to open fire on them and therefore act in a surprised and angry way when killed by a non-tagged player.

Welcome Back Hatchet

When you have been away from the game for a period of time you get to see what others miss.

When we as a clan first came here only a few months ago the posts on the forums were welcoming, encouraging and a breath of fresh air yes some people will always post negative things but it was in the minority.

Also in game I saw little or no flaming in system chat and definitely no swearing or goading other players, this has definitely been on the increase recently.

In general I and the rest of the RAF try to behave in a certain way with dignity and courtesy to each other and all other players we fight, die, fight again and die again but we hope always with honour and dignity.

I have had the pleasure of meeting extremely nice people on this server and dieing at their hands and I take it all with good grace.

It is down to us to change the culture on the forums and in game, in the end we are the server and its is us who will either make it grow and prosper by encouraging new players to come here or we can kill it by driving those players away.

Exactly right...every person on the server has a role to play.

and shonen me old china. get the facts right, I <insert> really big I here> have never moaned at anyone in FL space . EVER!  I cannot and will not speak for a clan as a whole. RAF is not a dictatorship. but like i say if you want to moan and try to goad me and my thread go right ahead. It will not happen. People prove me right please by not rising to the bait.

Tonight Ill be on bright and bushy looking forward to playing FL with the mates ive made here and my in game enimies.
cya out there

@maverick
In my opinion a VOID is suppose to know exactly what is best for the SERVER in the current circumstances
Here are some wise words regarding this issue written by Watchwolf (a Server Guard and also member of an evil clan)

However,  I am beginning to believe that there's some level of conflict of interest with being a Server Guard and playing anything but a strictly good guy. Seems being a an unlawful character doesn't match well with being one who's supposed to uphold the law on the server. Some have a hard time seeing the difference between the RP and the role on the Staff.  In fact, I am pretty much on the verge of resigning my [VOID] position in order to be free to play the game in whatever role I choose. I was a player first.

Wise words indeed!
Somebody from the reavers clan also mentioned that their clan is a new "Fear Factor" for the Void (i think that a Fear Factor is the last thing this server needs based on the crumbling player numbers) so scareing players away with the so called "Fear Factor" won;t help much now won't it?
Resigning your [VOID] position is not necessary in my opinion but resigning from the Reavers clan will give a good example for others and hopefully many will follow
A [VOID] is indeed only a normal player but one with great responsabilities!

PS: [FAQ]-->[EVENT]-->[-=Reavers=-]-->VOID?  Good luck with your Void Server Guard Application Mav!! =D>

RP is part of the game,but ingame evils are not forced to be evils on forum or in system chat, only in battle,isn't it?
We don't need love and peace in a shooter game, but we can create a decent way of comunication,it depend to us....
