1. In Character
Absolutely no out of character (OOC) comments or references are allowed. This is the only forum where players can immerse themselves completely in role-play. If there is an OOC comment or post it will be deleted. If a thread is too OOC or not explicitly IC it will be moved to a more appropriate forum.
Show me where I made an out of game reference? I guess you don't know the history of EVE.
4. Questionable Role-play
If a post, comment or thread is deemed not in the spirit of role-play and borders more on flaming, trolling or personal hate, the offending comment will be removed and the player warned.
For all the sensitive ppl....I'm roleplaying ya know.... trying to get recruits for the war.....geez its a game calm down.
((OOC: Okay, in the interests of a more sane response here, I'm going to do you the massive, MASSIVE favour of assuming that you aren't a troll. It's probably slightly foolish of me to make that assumption, but I can't ignore the possibility that you just have no idea how RP is supposed to work, in which case, allow me to educate you. God knows, you need it...
1: in-character only.
Your out of character comment was a reference to "rolling characters". In-character presumes the assumption of the role (hence, roleplyaing) of a character. That character is going to think of themselves as a real person, and hence will have been born, raised and lived in the exact same way as a real person would have.
So asking "in-character" why anybody would choose to role a gallente or Minmatar character would be a bit like walking up to a guy in the street and asking him "why did you roll a man?" or "why did you roll an American". It doesn't make sense as an in-character question, and is therefore an out-of-character question.
As I've said above, asking "why did you roll ur char as..." makes no sense from an in-character perspective, not only because characters would remember a childhood, but because you're asking a question about a subject over which they have no control. "Why did you choose to be born as a white guy?"... NOBODY chooses something like that.
Oh, and your suggestion that people should "re-roll" as Amarr or Caldari.... HOW exactly would somebody who was born and raised Gallente do that?
"In-character" assumes that you ARE the character and the character is a real person, bound by the same restrictions as we are. I can't "re-roll" myself, and neither can my character.
4: Questionable roleplay.
Where to begin? Aside from the frankly abysmal quality of your writing (even if English is not your first language, your post was just unforgivably bad) your character has no apparent motivation besides "don't be Gallente or Minmatar". your opinion is self-contradictory, too. "Do nothing but what you're told" and "Being a slave sucks" are contradictory. Slaves, by definition, do what they are told. If that's what the free men of a society have to do as well, then how is slavery any worse than being free?
Please: If you want to post here, and not sound like a complete drongo in the process, do yourself a favour and read this thread from start to finish. Then think long and hard about everything it contains, and come back when you have a better idea of how things work in RP. It's not exactly serious business in here, but crap like this does tend to spoil our fun. ^_^))
