This is absolutely repulsive to Azdan and he called them out on it but there's absolutely nothing I can do about it beyond that point because I'm one person, in a Punisher against an entire corp and alliance.
This makes it very difficult, if not impossible, to actually do anything with Azdan apart from sit in channels and on the forums and shake his finger at people while trying to preach a different message. Not only is this not fun, it will eventually be used against him in RP as well. So, I have no idea how to proceed. I didn't actually write this post to rant (though I guess it seems like that's exactly what I'm doing), but simply to share some of my personal struggles and frustration with those that want to listen.
Make contacts, find friends, build strong relationships and ties with other people that have access to more projected power than your young character. If you can bring your friends on the negociation table, it might change a lot of things.
Look at the ILF for example. Not that the ILF can't defend themselves, but when that minmatar militia corp came ICly derping with them, quickly transforming itself into a war, the ILF got a lot of support and help offers. Or well, I know that I was part of them, even if the war stopped just before I started to move in their area of operations.
Also, what Merdaneth said is probably a good advice. I never thought about it that way but there is also the fact that whoever your character seems to be, he tends to answer to most of the related posts on the IGS to his faction, be them trolls or not. Just don't. Be more selective. I used to do that too in my first months on the IGS and it's well... I can't find the word for it but it may be also a reason why you feel so much that way.
Just pick up more carefully the discussions in which you want your character to take part.
Off topic, I know - but was the title of this thread a conscious reference, or completely unintentional?
This is totally out of mein kampfort zone.
