I hate rules
« on: July 20, 2005, 02:21:19 pm »
They are sooo limiting.

Anywho.

Everyone here has lots of very good ideas for rules to improve things.  That said,  I don't want to see servers with pages and pages of rules anymore.   It leads to trouble.  Always.   And it's a headache.

Maybe someone else will be willing to do a rules intensive server in the future.  That's cool.  But that person is not me at this time.

I'm ruled-out.  I'm sick of the debates.  I'm sick of the rules. I'm sick of the politicing.  And frankly, unless AoTK is a lot of fun, I'm sick of the Dyna.

Let the server start and lets get it done ASAP.

Look at it this way J'inn, at least it is being a little constructive right now instead of us having to call 911 for the fire trucks.

You did advertise J'inn that this server would be a change from the past recent servers with less rules etc, doesnt appear that it is heading that way however..

However, the rules are significally less than those in the GW Series.

Well, you could always learn how to program and go fix the server kit. Then you don't need all these work-around for buggy game software rules. ;D

Agreed. It started out a little inflammatory, but things have settled down and we're looking for real solutions.

Part of the solutions, clearly, is having stable missions. The angel of the D.net forums, our own lovely TraceyG, is dilligently working on this. We now have a core set of patrols more stable than anything I've seen to date. There are some bugs, but these bugs aren't the kind of things that make the missions unstable. Once the patrols all work as intended, with no noticeable bugs, Tracey is going to move on and update the rest of her missions with the core code from the patrols and we will then have a stable cord dynaverse mission pack.

Beyond that, rethinking and revising the disengagement rule, applying it selectively and with discretion depending on the kind of ship will be an improvement. Its taken us time to get this far with the rules, and we have to continue to adapt them to the (and I hope you'll pardon the reference to old Soviet tactical doctrine) objective conditions here.

Um, I do not see how a page or 2 of rules is a bad thing.   SGO4 had 20 pages of rules, 1-2 pages is a basic set.

Then your memory is faulty. Please compare the last server rules shown here http://mkroll.asta.chicago.il.us/ with the rules Jinn posted in his rules thread. It appears and is exactly as advertised.

Yep, I for one will enjoy the change from a series of stringent rule based servers to one with considerably less, will be great to see some variety again.

More issues with your recollection. The varity in servers has always been there. Servers without rules have run simoltaneously with rules based servers for as long as I can recall, just that no one plays on them.

If you look at the most recent servers they have had stricter rulesets, OOB etc.

Of course in the past there was a mixture of both types of server, just in the past few recent dynas that variety hasnt been there as much as in the past.

From a personal standpoint I'll be glad to see a server with less rules, like J'inn and some others i'm not a fan of strict rulesets that restrict my gameplay, which you well know from our past discussions about OOB and which i am not going to repeat.
