Rp Covenant Poll

[zanzibar]

Here is a example for you, when I was a GM doing a event, I had a RP Troll constantly private messaging me to not say that do it this way. IS that the way you want it?
 It was darn annoying but I did manage to carry on with the event, resisting the strong erg to kick the player.
 Guide lines are fine, BUT they tend to be set in stone over time. That leads to do it or leave.

I don't understand.  What was he or she doing wrong?

forgotten about ezpcusa already?

EZPC is essentially its own game... that's like saying people can just go play RuneScape if they get banned.  Essentially true, but missing the point that people play PlaneShift because of the community.

Disregarding general principles of rp repeatedly would be cause for a ban from laanx.

It is just a matter of fitting people to a context more correct for their methods of play.

A covenant is a solemn agreement. Asking people to make a covenant before joining on Laanx can be a good reminder that if one doesn't want RP and all that comes with it they are welcome to play planeshift on the alternative server and never have to worry about learning to RP.

Well said.

So you are saying RPs get all the benefits of the hard work of the down and outs, Also the RPs will get all the events as the down and outs would not need them as they involve RP.
 Also would like to point out why should they even bother reporting problems as they are treated like cast outs.

Well, it is an RP game...

Some could say Harassing me.
Interfering with a GM doing a job.
Could also have been a deliberate attempt at disrupting the event.
But in this case it was a player trying to force there way of RP onto me.

Then why bother with 2 servers with two types of the same game.

cant we all just try to stay on topic, this thread was not made to debate why we have the new server and what its use will be.

Perhaps posts about the need of a covenant as well as the structured suggested should be moved here to keep this thread about whether or not the community approves or disapproves the final draft?

As you can see in the first link, before this poll, there was a long discussion that led to the draft XilliX posted for approval and that's where you should post your concerns, imo.

I don't there's anything more to discuss.  The votes are fairly one sided:

Do you find these terms acceptable as something agreed to by all Playing on Laanx?
Yes.         85 (94.4%)
No.         5 (5.6%)

Total Voters: 90

If you play on Laanx, you agree to those terms.  Don't like the covenant?  Play on the other server.

End of discussion.
