And to answer the question, as far as I know, harrasment is not supposed to be allowed OOC. Whatever the staffs view on that is they would have to tell you Taja.
Firstly, the issue regarding that is based simply off the fact that my sequince of posts up until the final one was done entirely under the most kosher application of the rules. Each post was ended with me 'moving towards planet', 'moving into blockading positions', 'launching troop shuttles'. All with the obvious intent of allowing the Observers to respond. When they did not respond to those actions in their reply posts, i considered them successful.
Is that not in the spirit of competative roleplaying?
My final post (which was bullshit, i grant) was based soley off the fact that Vonta, having ignored all my actions and their repurcussions, resumed total control of planetary defences and finally and unrealistically moved to combat my efforts. I accept that glassing a planet and testing them would take a while, hence my final post was intended to be me leaving with my captive while leaving my forces to do the work. Then vonta posted her bit of crap, hence my own crap response.
Good thing i'm not destroying it. Ah fucking DOI! All i'm doing is completely destroying its native populace to allow for unrestricted control and for the future resettlement of Imperial Civilians.
There is no deathstar shit here, and there is also no intent to destroy the planet.
So i guess this is one of those times to shove that lame tag right up your arse.
Firstly, when considering the fact that at least a million Imperials are being used in this operation (each ship being filled to the gunnels with both landing troops and naval forces) i think anything more than a month is fucking bullshit. Especially considering the full force of an Imperial Protectorate is being brought to bear on a single planet. Anyways, i never intended for it to happen immediately, it was only the aforementioned bullshit post that forced me into bringing my own bullshit up.
Secondly, there was no 'staff ruling' regarding isstals epilogue. Everyone involved considering it bullshit, and discounted it on their own.
Thirdly, the only charactor involved of his has been subdued (by their own will) aboard an Imperial lictor. Nothing regarding the planets populace involves any chars beyond my own because there are none on planet.
*grabs nuts*
Right here buddy, right here.
Your focus on the wrong issues is entirely laudable, and indeed indicative of the problems indemic within TRF and its flaming society.
Especially considering the only 'godmoded' action that i accept is in my final post, considering the timeline i imposed upon my thread.
Bull fucking shit.
That having been said, i'd totally agree if what you said is true, but the fact its not dictates otherwise.
Well, seth, here are my requested issues with lups protests and posts.
1) TNO has not landed anything on planet becuase they only launched one post ago and have not RPed landing, traveling through space, or entering the atmosphere.
2) The planet has not surrendered to TNO becuase my charecter, the Governor, has not surrendered IC.
3) TNO does not control planetary defenses becuase my charecter the governor never gave TNO any Defense system codes IC.
Additionally, I never RPed that there were defense system codes (If I did not RP them they do not exist), and most of the systems (Shields, turbo-lasers, Ion cannons) are manually run as they were in the movies. So they cannot be shut down by a simple code. They have to be taken over or destroyed to shut them down.
4) I can RP treating the tested's genetics if I RP it plausibly. If I can write it plausibly then there is no problem.
I can think of a compromise to end the thread along the lines of what Ahnk is suggesting. If TNO leaves in the thread, leaving the planet, I can evac the planet and leave it for another group to take over thus ending my possesion of the planet completely IC.
I shall wait for further staff review on the matter to go into any of the above issues in detail.
vonta make a good point. from now on, each ic post should make one action and only one action. to make us look like even better writers, we can enclose all actions in *stars*!
remind you of anything?
grow up vonta. go to school and theyll teach you something called artistic lisence... but probably not till high school.
EDIT: This is Jan. Everytime I close of TRF it logs me out and logs back as Marth. Which is really annoying.
I'm going to assume the last comment was about the shuttles. So, Demo, reasonably it would take longer than one post to get from launching the shuttles to landing on the planet (remember that thing called giving your opponents a chance to respond? Yeah, still important in these rules). And if you want to use your artistic/writing skills which you seem to like talking about, RP out the actions of what the shuttles are doing (maybe not every tiny detail, but you at least have to mention them landing).
Now I haven't read the whole thread in great deal, nor have I read all the OOC arguments, but if the shuttles launched one post ago, and they were never RPed as landing, they reasonably should not have landed yet.
The staff took a vote, and with a five to one margin will follow my reccomendation and declare the planet vacant and open for either side to take over.
TNO is free to begin a new takeover which as all takeovers are will be free to any interference.
Vonta may roleplay a takeover of the planet or allow an ally to take the system but should note that TNO's partial destruction of the surface trashed all millitary and large outposts.
marth i didnt post any of that ic shit and dont really care. vontas 'if i didnt rp it didnt happen so there hahaha' statement is bullshit and thats what i was directing my comment at.
