I am sick and tired of trying to develop MY character and it get shot down every time I do. To hell with it. Fine, the darn thing didn't happen as the tribble thing I did with K'Hare. You people take this darn simming way too serious. Lighten up and have a sense of humor, geez.
Develop your character the way you want but know that your actions affect us all. You do X. It is only fair that Valren responds to the event by doing what would be in character for him. A ship blowing up outside his base would be a serious security issue. Maybe the truth would be found out, maybe not, but you have to let him react.
Same with the tribble thing. My response was intended to say are you really doing this, because if you were I'd react in character and I wanted to make sure you understood what that means.
Yes, some of us take simming more seriously than others. That's a matter of style. If you involve my character I will react as I think fit. I spend several hours a day on BF in one form or another. So yes, its serious for me.
There is a place for different styles. There are different simms with different foci. And yes, I have an agenda. I want to see Klingons played better in BF so I will comment when I see something that doesn't feel right to me. But in the end, it is just my opinion. I leave it to the audience to decide who is 'right'. Feel free to have a Klingon simm that is a parody of trek or is written as a musical. But don't expect me to let you use my character and make it canon for my simm. Same with others here. This is a huge joint mission so you have to consider other people's styles and not step on them.
As K'rahl said, killing the bridge crew with a disruptor questions your honor. Perhaps the HoD would never face you but there would be other ways to react to that. But once you killed him, you killed the other 5 (and there should have only been 5 more) crew members by blowing the ship. Is there honor there? Regardless of whether the ship was docked with another, blowing up one in an area where ships are densely packed is a threat to them. Of course those ships would investigate. Even if the issue of being in fed space was ignored, a Klingon ship blew up and no claim to the cause, no challenge, no explanation was given. To anyone looking from the outside, the ship was attacked in a by stealth and subterfuge, a Klingon ship around a fed base was blown up. You don't think the Empire would have questions for Valren?
There is nothing wrong with playing a Klingon who pretends honor while not being so, or a Klingon who's rage makes him make a mistake. But you cannot just do a thing and expect everyone to ignore it. Maybe we are too serious, but you aren't considering the effect you have on us by forcing us to accept it quietly.
roS made mention of the ship blowing up. That's the hard thing to get past. He also said something about the transporter. Look at every post I had made on the subject. Klingons will use transporters, its canon. But my interpretation is they only do it when it invovles battle in some way... when the chance of dying through an accident is acceptable because your posture was aggressive and you were ready for death. I could get past the attack on the bridge if it was established before or after, that the foe would not face you honorably. But the next action, in my opinion, should have been to tell the rest of the ship what you just did and then waited to fight them, not to cover it up by blowing up the ship and hiding the act.
