That'd be much easier if people there didn't treat you as if you had to know everything about the past history of the colony/race since its very same origins, and act totally according to the standard. Man, look at the human race! Do you really think everyone's equal?
I personally can't complain, as in both characters I made things that were not totally OK with the customs out of IGNORANCE, because I'm just a noob there. I was scolded both times, one OOC and one IC. I'm fine with that, seriously. But to kill/marginalize someone because of that... well, that really sticks in my craw.
Not saying the community is acting as well as it could. But I am saying that we should try to do it, regardless.
