That light pits, used to hold ships in place, are filled with complex electronic equipment, have no safety boundaries, and are lit with a dim blue light when not in use? (The Burning Life p. 77)

By all means, have RP between the Federation and the Intaki. But it's roleplay between Federation Capsuleers and Intaki capsuleers.

Attempting to create a faction of politicians for which there's no PF basis to instigate a debate is kinda unnecessary. We all know the ILF wants to secede from the Federation. Why not just get out with it, rather than trying to hide behind a strawman?

It's your assertion that these are the ILF's alts?

[mod]You've already been warned by a moderator about 'ur RP is wrong'. It's against the rules, don't do it.In addition to that, accusing other players of using alts and strawmen in order to 'win' the argument is also outside the guidelines. Please refrain from posting if you can't follow the rules.[/mod]

By all means, have RP between the Federation and the Intaki. But it's roleplay between Federation Capsuleers and Intaki capsuleers. And that is all that, we, the players, can do, in Eve online, save for the moments the NPCs take notice of our little squabbles during the live events, or sweep us up in a sea-change in the status of the universe, with an expansion or storyline progression.

To me, it's remarkable that a player would want to 'play the role' of every single major Federation political faction within the Senate. Isn't that just a bit presumptuous? Essentially, someone has claimed they -are- the Federation Senate, through their forum postings. Should we not question this? Or should I just lie down on the ground and let other folks grandstand for their personal ego trip?

[mod]Whether or not you agree that someone else's RP is valid, you aren't the arbiter of what constitutes valid RP. You have plenty of IC avenues to object (Your character can certainly believe they are crazy), and indeed you can have a constructive conversation about it here (how you might approach it instead, for example.) You can even use other OOC venues to cry foul, if you wish. If you want to post here, follow the guidelines.[/mod]
