Mixing is a rule that is being broken daily because players stopped caring and no one bothers reporting it anymore. It came to a point where 1/3 of the server is mixing like it's nothing. As faction leaders, you should start enforcing your members not to mix and encourage them to report others for it. It might seem 'lame", but it's still a rule and something that has a negative influence on IC environment / roleplay.

Same goes for admins who keep ignoring mixing and 'letting it slide'.

The most basic server rule is being disregarded by faction members and in some cases faction leaders.

It took 10 minutes to pull all a dozen instances (only scratching the surface) from the top two factions leading the-most-rules-broken-in-the-past-2-weeks-list.

All of the examples above are only from 1 day and it took around 10 minutes to pick them up.

Some of it might not affect players directly, but a majority of it does and usually goes unknown because it's never reported or the leaders of a faction don't stop it from happening. This is especially true when it comes to infiltrating a faction using a frequency to listen in on their actions, e.g:

but it does ruin my gameplay, it ruins it alot, especially because I enjoy the part of the game that has to do with espionage, keeping secrets and being a step ahead, I am happy when all my radio slots are full. But as time passed the frequencies became more and more useless. The only times they are used properly nowadays is when a series of new members are invited to a illegal faction, and the illegal faction tries to show some disciplin untill a comfort zone is made. That and when the faction chat is togged off.

And preventing people from mixing in the radio, and using it as if they are on foco is the first step to making it functional for its initial purpose: To communicate IC information needed for the players to co-ordinate. Obviously, I can not takle the issue of factions using their OOC faction chat to communicate IC stuff. Admins need to do that, but by doing what I did, i brought alot of light to the issue.


This is only one of the many issues caused by replacing the radio and using the faction OOC chat as an alternative means of IC communication.


We'll check back randomly and crack down on the factions that have members excessively using OOC chats to their advantage. The faction members may not necessarily be punished, but faction leaders (thats you) will hold some accountability for the faction chat and the faction's standards.

I'll drop the date for the next check in this topic. This is a warning that shouldn't be taken lightly and regardless of how petty the server rule broken in question is, consequences will follow. If you find this a hard task, encourage your members to internally report other faction members to you and deal with them internally.

Next check @ 14.12.16


Any feedback should be posted below. Bossnigguh and I will take a look and answer questions if needed. Happy holidays.
