Talk:A New Dawn (Galaxy Game)/@comment-3528596-20151210025359

Okay, really? There's been some complaints about the arbitrary nature of the rules before, which up to this point I've more or less disagreed with, but this is the straw that breaks my back, at least.

C'mon, Nick. You added a new rule after my move, then put "rebels" into my faction and Firedance's faction. Where are these rebels coming from? So far, my faction has done nothing that wouldn't be supported by it's people. NPC actions, fine. Diseases, fine. But rebels in my own faction for no apparent reason other than you don't like what I'm doing? I'm sorry, but that destroys the suspension of disbelief. It completely violates the premises and données of this game.

Their position doesn't even make sense. They're "simply calling it a lie". What are they calling a lie? The Syndicate? The Byssian Empire? The EGC? All of the above? It's unclear, and none of those options make sense. How can they be a lie? These are established organizations. Beyond that, what would make rebels even want to dissolve the Syndicate. So far, they've got protection and a secure government with a strong galactic presence. Conquering the Hutts is in the nature of the Syndicate and its people. Granted, the may be a small minority that doesn't want this, but it would be small. Trandoshans as a species encourage this kind of behavior. Their religion encourages this. Everything about the Syndicate would suggest this is a valid move. I see no reason why people would be against it. We aren't launching a genocide, just a hostile takeover. They aren't the same thing.

Not to put words in Firedance's mouth, but I imagine he feels the same about the "rebels" demanding he withdraw from Nar Kreeta.

Look, I'm trying to assume good faith here. Really, I am. Assume good faith is practically my religion when it comes to this website. That said, I'm have a really hard time assuming good faith here. You are specifically targeting our factions. This "most notably on former Republic worlds, Trandoshan worlds and Imperial worlds" is directed at me and Firedance. If you don't like my actions in-game, I'm sorry. Honestly, I'm trying to play the game from as fair a perspective as possible. I'm trying to stay in-universe in all my decisions. This addition is not motivated by in-universe reasons.

Sorry for the big wall of text, but I want to make sure my feelings on the matter are clear. Ultimately, you are in charge, but this feels a little too much like an abuse of that power, not used for regulation of the game.

Thanks for taking the time to read.
