This is why I liked illy community wise better in 2010. Newbies were protected *more so after TMM* but there wasn't a massive influx of GP's patrolling every scenario. |
Protecting new players is part of all of us old players dna... But this ends at protecting new players. Period. This is a sandbox. After you have 5k pop or some such, why, on God's green earth do you need protection?

The first rule of GP's is, you don't talk about GP's ;) Really, I think the definition of Global Police as relates to the game seems to be fairly malleable; mostly it just seems to be those who are considered to be meddling (cue Scooby Doo). And I'm not sure I've seen anyone else use the term besides EF/Subatoi.

Well... I can tell you, that H? is NOT. Categorically NOT interested in any sort of policing of the server in the way that people think we are.
H? exists to further its members interests primarily and has certain secondary interests that will be pursued, some of which are public, like protecting newbies, and having fun, and some that may not be...

Global Police? What in Illy is that? Beyond a few scant rules (http://forum.illyriad.co.uk/code-of-conduct-rules-updated-102911_topic31.html) and a very occasional minor moderation of chat and the forums by the MODS, there are no rules in Illy. The notion of Global Police is absurd. There are players who state their opinions, and players are certainly free to act and react to the words and actions of other players, but rules? Absurd.

Subatoi's refererence was not specifically to the written rule nor letter of law rather the wielding (meddling?) of power by those whom politicking is of interest. It of course exists. Ironically by definition those that engage in this behavior though indirectly curbing sand-boxing, are indirectly pursuing their own right to sandbox.

You don't have to use *my* term. I've been using it long enough that I'm kind of amused that just now people are picking up on the term but eh.
and yes to those that meddle in affairs that do not concern them usually get the title of a GP because they think they are upholding their standards of law and order *police geddit?*
