Well, it seems like you just show up and go do your thing, and there is no apparent encouragement to have any interest in "the chain of command". Like everyone is more encouraged to want to just go do their own thing, and if there are people on, you just talk to each other like it's a chat room, meanwhile everything is falling apart, and there are like one or so people trying their best to put it back together. This is why you feel like there is "no goal". I was thinking, either there could be a bit of word sentences that get people on some sort of page, or it could maybe be repurposed into an "anarchy" server. Just a thought.
I think of the role of captain as like an "executive", but if nobody is listening, then there is not really much for them to execute. And often, you will have your little characters who want to have their little jobs, but then there is no captain, and then they get used to there being no captain, and then when there is a captain, the captain is just a random loner with so much power they don't know what to do with. There's more thoughts.
I was thinking about this when I was captain for the first time on LLJK2 and I told a guy that he should listen to the chain of command, and I think he said the chain of command was his butt, and I said that it's important and can save you. And I think it can save you in the way that when you join a team, even if one of those team mates goes mad against you, the rest of the team will fight to protect the team. Or maybe something like that. Because, in that round, the HoP was a bad guy, but the rest of the crew was all acting in similar interests, maybe? And I tried to be a good team captain, so, there may be a question of whether what somebody says on the RP server is consequential or just some sort of RP. Whether anybody is going to actually be there for you, or attentive, or even notice or care, or not just be in their own little RP world, and before you go saying to me, "Hey, bud. If you don't like RP, then you don't have to play on the server", ...I don't know. You are correct, but that doesn't mean I don't like "RP".
Also, the shape of the "station" may play a factor in how the crew is able to interact, like how easy it is for them to run into each other or whatnot. So, it is different than the other server, and that is by no means a bad thing, but it may play a role in how it is interpreted in the game. Some thoughts, I guess. How are you?
Maybe- maybe they aren't only thoughts, but observations as well, -or maybe even something else... or maybe not, but another thing about the chain of command, having subordinates can be helpful. If that makes any sense. Or can be imagined.
