Elite roleplay: Q&A and OOC

Don't spend so much time in the cosmos you lose your grasp of reality. I showed the original post to my coworkers who are working professionals in digital media creation, social media content, and they all see exactly what I see.
It baffles me some of you don't.

I'm not so sure about this. NPC pilots most certainly have Pilots Federation rankings (ie, Harmless, Deadly, Elite). I've always viewed the CMDR title simply being there for gameplay reasons, to help distinguish players from NPCs at a glance. Being interdicted by 'Turd Ferguson' might be routine and mildly inconvenient, but when it changes to 'CMDR Turd Ferguson', the situation is dramatically different.
I also don't see the Pilots Federation as being particularly choosy or even difficult to get into. I view it as the 34th century equivalent of a driver's license, but with a hint of unpredictability and a certain amount of awe and dread from planet-bound citizens. If you can demonstrate basic starship piloting competency, you're nominally a member and are permitted to fly between systems and access mission boards. Most pilots will never get very far up the ranks, and the exclusivity and prestige goes up dramatically as you rise to the higher echelons.
To be sure, there's a separate "Elite Pilots Federation", sort of an organization within an organization. This one is the more restrictive and prestigious membership.
(Sorry to whatever's going on previously, just wanna finish my bit then duck out) My idea for background purposes was not to give myself the "commander" title yet, since I don't have the game. Be a little amusing I think, you know, to go for a couple of months, read up on talks points and, apparently learn how to roleplay.. something that I'm open to, and looking forward to my character development!

I'm transparent, open to criticism, and not an idiot.

You must have a short memory, my post make it very clear why I involved myself in this discussion, and many of you seem to be taking it as a personal attack. My issue was with how one individual was dealt with by another- after someone commented and critiqued on their own the lack of new player participation. I offered a thesis on that.
We're grown adults here. If someone leaves, lets be clear. It was their choice. I did not make anyone hang up their celestial hat. Jesus.

NsiteIm not looking to ostercize anyone, target anyone, or ruin anyone's play. Why don't we just move forward and see what happens? Many of you have a position, as do I- lets leave it at that and see if there's room for both.
That's about when we all moved on and started talking about what role we all see the Pilot's Fed playing in the Elite: Dangerous universe. Then, a day later, you roll back in with the two posts I previously quoted above, in which you started re-attacking us as being immature.
How do you get from there to here?

Nsite [...]And you all are in control of your own actions and reactions. You feel you want to leave? So be it. I didn't come here to play with children. The childish responses are rediculous to begin with
So, you're right - you called us children.

Anna ReidYou do realize that you literally just drove someone off, don't you. Thanks to you, a good RP'er is gone now. Good job.
Anything else? Once again, I'm not responsible for how you interpret what I said. I didn't call YOU or anyone else immature. Responses were my subject, not you.

NsiteYou all seem to assume that you can say whatever you want, accuse, inflame and then just move on from it like it didn't happen. I'm in a different time zone. This is a forum. When I checked in much had been said after I had gone to sleep. Its logical I would have a response. Anyone would if they were in my position.
Perhaps, but judging how you've conducted yourself on this forum, I'm beginning to see why denying your membership into the IWG was probably the correct move. This will be where my interaction with you ends, though I do hope that you have a good rest of your day.

He and small core of writers founded it. We have a great time.

You didn't deny me. And if you're talking about having a backbone, I can understand why that might be threatening to you.
