Simultanious Invasions

[Thurion Heavenshield]

<Incoming message from the big giant head>

There's been alot of behind-the-scenes talk of a multitude of major factions wanting to invade the One Sith at the same time ICly, meaning that the One Sith in this case would be left virtually defenseless as most of their members are already engaged in ongoing Invasion threads.

As Staff representative, and as an unbiased party as I've no ties to any of the factions involved, I come before you now to say that simultanious invasions have always been up to the faction leaders to discuss beforehand, and that it cannot be forced upon a faction to be simultaniously invaded by several other factions. It's not fair to the members of that faction, and I don't believe any faction would like the same thing happen to them.

That is all.

Now, go and assemble a team of teenagers with attitude!

These aren't the Power Rangers you're looking for.

*Waves hand*

 

[Strider Garon]

I want to Conquer! People just keep saying no. *Sobs*

 

[Seydon of Arda]

Teenagers with attitude!?

Hell yeah.

 

[Saki]

Looks at [member="Seydon of Arda"] and gleams.

Cause In Space while the end of the Zordon era they had dropped teenagers with attitude by graduating them. It would take Dino Thunder to bring back teenagers... real teenagers.

 

[Gilamar Skirata]

What? What? Why was I tagged?

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

[member="Gilamar Skirata"] - All the Major Faction Owners were tagged so that they can relay the information to their respective memberbase in case they missed this announcement.

Also so that you see it, too.

I disagree with this rule on the grounds of wheaton's rule. If you piss off 3 or 4 major factions at once, they should have the option of presenting a unified front to deal with the instigator.

 

[Matsu Ike]

Then a unified front is what they can present, one faction invades and three allies from each faction joins in. Unified front

 

[Captain Larraq]

That, and the multitude of invasion propositions were the result of independent parties getting sick of watching the Sith cause drama with the Republic and in general (and because they make fun badguys), and lastly because it was a cool idea that would have ended up being similar to a mini event.


Don't want to fight 4 battles at once?

Be.
Nice.
To.
People.

 

[Captain Larraq]

Ally limits and whining prevent thus from being much of an option. Though it does tend to help out considerably, it fails to really be a game changer unless the opposing faction is already suffering on participants. In which case the effect is lost and it just becomes sad. (Witness CID invasions as evidence)

 

[Beowoof]

I don't really have anything invested in the whole invasion scene, so don't take this the wrong way, please.

But doesn't this basically allow a faction to shut out another faction by saying, "No, I don't want to risk losing, therefore I won't agree to play with you"?

Also, the current trend seems to be that allies are not allowed in invasions.

So, while I don't entirely agree with what [member="Captain Larraq"] is saying, he has a great point about there being no IC consequences for being an IC jerk faction.

 

[Menoetius]

Yes, but that's being logical.

This is an RP board that tries to be balanced, sometimes at the expense of logic.

Sure, the One Sith are the meanest faction to grace the galaxy, but they are composed of real people too and being gangbanged by everyone and their mother isn't fun for anyone. Not balanced, either.

We have only attacked the republic

 

[Captain Larraq]

I proposed rules and guidelines that would give staff more leeway and justification to enforce 'not being a dick'. The proposal was violently rejected under the premise of self regulation via IC consequences. This nee ruling throws out a great deal of the power the members of this board had at their disposal to regulate 'issues'.

 

[Captain Larraq]

It's not who you attack, it's how you behave when attacking them that's the issue.

 

[Menoetius]

So you think the Sith have been OOC jackasses during their invasion of Republic space, right? And because of OOC jackassery, you want to arrange a galactic invasion of Sith space? An IC action to punish an OOC behaviour?

I don't even...

you're grasping at straws.

He said behave. You're Sith. Sith don't behave. He said nothing about OOC behavior. Stop playing the victim.

Everyone play nice.

Nobody organized anything. The Mandalorians knew that OP was going in for blood. The Mandalorians have a very low writer base. We knew that we could match the Sith on writers if they were distracted and knew that we could get a good fight out of it. Thus the attempted dual invasion.

Outside of that, no communication or coordination took place. There was no 'grand judgement' to be issued upon you. Honestly, everyone had the same idea. "Those guys have been dicks. Let's go punch them in the jaw while their hands are full."

@sarge potteirger that's why I pmed him for clarification.
