Oh, I see.
We bicker ICly because we're the exact same OOCly.
What a surprise. I haven't said that on the last ten threads like this one or anything.
Huh?
There's some resentment in AI about some of the foam and rage that's repeatedly come our way IC, as well as some amusing if particularly poor arguing. I don't really think we're in a position to criticise at the moment though, as we're guilty of similar things, as well as responding to a lot of it.

Good call. You guys need it.
Back on topic.
Frankly I am with Ben 100% on this. New stuff needs to be embraced and not shot down. Sure I am going to set the record for third ban in record time, but as it stands currently, I don't care.
The remark about "8 years of dedication" so what. You are stale and old and you violently oppose anything new, weird, and offhand.

RP needs to start evolving if it is going to continue to happen. The Slaver vs. Heathen and other loyalist shit is so played out and boring it has become embarrassing and is a huge turnoff to people I have met who express an interest in RP. Is it bad? In its current form, hell yes.

Dig deeper. Amarrians? Pick a royal family already. Matari? Pick a tribe. Caldari? Pick a mega or go Ethnic/Achura.
The old school is just too broad and ripe for mudslinging. It is too comfortable and too easy.
