- So you subscribe to the saying: "The end justifies the means"? Have you read anything of what TG is about?

I apologize to any TG members that may feel offended by some of this angryness.

The only reason why rules exist in any game is to enforce constraints on both sides such that the events in play lead to other complex scenarios so as to stimulate further complex play and aid in 'satisfaction of the game' by way of a creative outlet. I agree that rules are necessary and good for any game, however this decision needs to be analyzed on a case by case basis. I agree that people should be kicked/banned for team killing (this detracts from allowing complexity of play), also people should be kicked for inaction (idleness - which also detracts from adding complexity to the game). But, certain rules that are enforced on this and other servers, to me, are "ludicrous" (Acreo Aeneas please learn how to spell this word and stop listening to so much Ludacris the rapper, it will rot your brain). Now, any option/possibility that I have in the game to defend/attack should be afforded to me UNLESS it detracts from the total possibilities/complexity for the game. Let us examine this point with two examples.
1) Bunny-hopping - allowed by the physics of the game to afford me the right to a defense or an attack in a myriad situations - defenders/attackers must therefore have one more added dimension of thought that will go into what strategy he/she uses in an encounter with me -> therefore leads to greater complexity and therefore should be allowed.
2) Directing your pod onto an enemy dropship and exploding it in the process and getting a kill (trust me this is allowed in the game physics). Should this be allowed or disallowed? I think it should be allowed, even though it sounds ridiculous (and is indeed not a 'realistic' simulation of war), because it adds an extra layer of complexity - I cannot just sit in a dropship on my own titan and pick off (gunner position) enemies who pod onto the titan because I must worry about the possibility that I will be hit and killed.
3) I was blown up by a tank in an apc once with a friendly who was running toward the apc and so he died too - he punished me. He got kicked by the admin. Should he have been kicked for abusing the TK system? NO. Even though I was annoyed with his decision to punish me I just laughed it off - it was his right and it was 'Ludicrous' of the admin to kick him for doing something that is afforded to him as an option by the game itself.

Finally, I do not care about this community or it's idiotic rules or 'SOP's - so don't reply to this message by giving me some jargon about reading what the TG 'is all about' - if TG policies cannot stand up to scrutiny then you all are just a bunch of drones and you are missing out on a richer game play experience by limiting the game in these ways.
