Yeah, this. I don't think anyone involved in this comes out looking good.
Genuine sympathies to those who lost CAUs (join cryer), but the big losers are roleplay and respect.
Depressing stuff from everyone. Well done guys.

The Baffies didn't deserve to be sanctioned in my opinion.
I also thought we don't talk about sanctions, meh.

Alright then. If you remember the names though, I can still have a word with them.
And yes, I suppose you could say that Ben. But nobody cares about respect, when it's a choice between holding yourself to a higher standard or winning. This isn't a sad reflection of the community, but humanity.
I don't know why people expect so much of themselves, honestly. We're just animals who have the good fortune to be able to think. That doesn't stop us from killing each other over a plot of land or some cattle, so why would it stop griefing over the internet?

yeah...
BAf made a mistake by allowing the hessians to join up / in. altough the situation was quite weird to begin with.
Hessians made a mistake by walzing into Cambridge with battleships no less to get some pew in
Sairs made a mistake by ambushing the beamed BAF ships out of revenge and to get some cheap CAU. which is really, really low. (but they won't get sanctioned for that, Im quite sure)
Admins made a mistake in how they handled this entire thing
So yeah, losers all over the place. cheers for us.

Who forced you to log in to ships that everyone knew exactly where was, as well as everyone knowing that some equipment would probably be unmounted?
Again common sense, friends. Why log those characters instantly? Why not wait a couple of hours or a day? If anybody lost anything, seriously it is their own fault. It's like that lady suing McDonalds for having hot coffee... Everyone has got a responsibility for him-/herself not to be stupid.

JayDee, we were not punished for blowing up the base. I really can't stress that point enough.
We were sanctioned for being in the same group as the Hessians, even the fighters who were in a completely separate group. Yes thats right, two completely different groups but the same punishment so even the the sanction is in contradiction of itself.
Personally I hoped to see a few Corsairs turn around and say "Alright we both screwed up, you shouldn't of had Hessians in group and we shouldn't of taken advantage of your sanction. We'll return your armour and lets leave this in the past." Instead its "our revenge" comments like that just prove the validity of the complaint, it was not a sanction, it was revenge.

Lets resolve it in this way....All who were sanction-back to their place, sairs has base of same lvl in O3, cause its better than Cambridge.

Your logic is backwards. what the sair players did was act on oorp hatred and oorp knowledge. they just wanted to grief some BAF players. So now it's the BAF players fault that they walked into a meatgrinder made by some very bitter sair players?
Who's at fault here? the guys who just wanted to fly home or the guys who laid in wait to abuse the situation?
It's not about the fact that players could have left Lost at a later time. it's about what has happened when they didn't.

Corsairs are raiders, of course they will try to snatch some equipment. I don't understand what part is the oorp besides the fact that Bretonian fleet appeared deep in Omicrons.

By sanctioning OORP behavior, the Admins created an even more OORP situation.
Yay for a roleplaying server!
