What is going on with STON?
« on: 19 Mar 2012, 16:11 »

Just to clear it up OOCly, this topic:

https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=83228&find=unread

has me baffled. Because it very much seems like the STON guys are trying to indirectly insinuate it was the EoM guys. But I don't actually think they agreed to any of that RP @_@

I'm just terribly confused. Is STON goddmodding? Is there more going on behind the scenes here? (if so I don't need to know what it is, just that there is in fact something) I'm just terribly confused and I'm not sure how to have my character act in regards to it all. I'm almost at the point of just completely backing away from the STON guys since their RP seems sorta inconsistant with the rest of reality.

You are finally starting to reach the point most of us have reached.

I thought the Ston guys had an interesting perspective but I do get annoyed with 900 threads covering the same topic that won't die. It's polite to other RPers to let your threads 'die' after a while.

That being said, regarding not knowing how to react, this is a great opportunity.

Being in the dark, like your character, can only add realism and good RP. Not knowing the details can only improve interaction. It's good NOT to know what's going on. How -would- your character react with limited information?

she'd blame the crazy cultists, which is what she has been doing.

[mod]Want to remind everyone to keep it civil. Disagreeing with the way that someone RPs isn't an excuse to insult them (at least here).[/mod]

I'm a little "wtf, you need MORE attention?" about the whole thing, but hey, STON folks do whatever the hell they want. People will learn to ignore them, tell them to kindly sod off OOC, or find some way to deal with them IC. This looks like a good "what's going on, what's happening" chance IC, much like Silas said. Let your toon go find out, or just don't bother with it, atl not officially.

May want to have a word with the STON folks IC Kiki, and then one with the EoM folks  ;)

I don't read STON threads, because their RP doesn't really interest me.

If this thread turns into an inside job by one of their RP alts, then I'm permabanning any interaction with any of them, forever. Not that they or anyone else should care, but just putting that out there.  FFS.

Why would they have to agree to it?

Generally, its a good idea to let the other player know before saying their characters did something, at least if you are implying that they actually did.

That seems to not be the case at the moment, though.

Since when have anyone had problems with outright lies being used as propaganda tools in Eve RP? It's been done by pretty much everyone to great and less great effect. Frankly, when lying your ass off OOC isn't frowned upon, why should lying your ass off IC be? Paid a significant price to learn that lesson myself.

It's not lies, its godmodding, tbh.

There is a difference between saying "We are saying you attacked our station" and "You attacked our station, just letting you know"

But this is a bit off topic.

I can only make it halfway through most of those IGS posts, so I'm sure you know better than I do. Still, it's an IC claim so I fail to see how it's godmoding instead of an outright lie.

It's poor form to sucker a bunch of RPers into what looks to be a he said/she said train wreck
