Was the Name Hellfire or Similar? Cuz that is the only Phantom BS. Which is Virus.

I dont think so, It allied with random xenos in ganking me. At least I think they were xenos. Its a bit fuzzy.
It could have been a cruiser. I was flying toward a hole and I got hit with something big and died instantly.
Anyways, I apologize for my previous flames. Was wrong of me to so quickly judge one who wanted to join a group, and I was angry at a silly loss of 500k.
*ahem*
Like most other admin-repped groups, They're going to be hard to get in. Your going to need top-notch RP if you want to. The good thing about these groups are they get to judge the RP, to make sure one doesnt PvPwhore.

There's only one Phantom battleship. Mine. So it was me, or it wasn't a Phantom.

I love elitism.

Probably wasnt a battleship, Might have been something smaller, That place was clogged with chaos and gunfire, and CRAZY camera shaking when you get hit in the hull, I already had a 75% or 50% hull when I got hit and instakilled.

Elitism? I think not. He is the only good BS pilot in the phantoms >.>

Fighter? Bomber? Because that's pretty much 98% of our ships right there. And there are only about 6-8 of us, so that means there are only maybe... Oh I don't know, 3 Phantoms ships larger than a gunboat.

Uh. What? It's just a normal Osiris. Anyone can get those. I'm just the only one in the faction. I can tell my members they can't fly Osirises if I want to. Or I could go buy them all Osirises! YES! WE ARE DOING THIS.

Able to attack anyone, Which may turn into PvPwhorism if not carefully managed/look after.
So the basis for our entire RP is a con? Wow, imagine that.
Here's a little lesson for you. About roleplay.
It's not all about talking (as blasphemous as that sounds!) RP includes actions. Blowing up NPCs and taking the pilots to torture them, or infect them (as the Aoi Iseijin do). Cruising silently above the plane through systems for stealth. We've just been conditioned to equate good RP with long, drawn out equations. A Phantom can say more in a couple lines and guns firing, as it is totally in their roleplay. You get lucky, and catch one in a chatty mood? Good for you. A charitable mood? Hit the god damn casino.
People have called the Phantoms cowards for attacking traders and fleeing from lawful forces when they arrive. Damn right we're cowards, because bravery doesn't terrorize people; striking from the shadows, randomly, annihilating anyone anywhere anytime -- that's scary. Never knowing if you'll be next, jumping as you see unknown contacts creep up. Mon'Star is one thing, he's a huge ship that you can see and run from easily. The Nomads are a thing of the Edge Worlds, and rather overt as well (being glowing blue ships). Normal pirates are obvious as well. Phantoms instill fear through cunning, stealth, and the ability to end a life as they choose.
A little history lesson, since it's a common lament that people don't know what Phantoms are about...

Just read through that.
I know this won't really solve much, as people will still complain about our RP. But hey, maybe you'll be informed complainers. Maybe.

Rudo was right. Let me correct what this person should have said:
' Wrote:<strike>
All in all, you might be over rating phantoms if you want to join.
So far I raped every Phantom who tried me.
They didnt know WHAT happened.
Ah...
Aha...
Hahahahhahahhahah ahhhahhhhaaahhahahahha! hhahaaaa
Nice looking ships tho.
Phantoms kidnapped them.
Rock the boat till you get one of the ships in a special roleplay request rather than try to join.</strike>
The Phantoms are really just trying to RP like everyone else. I've met the Phantoms several times, and everytime I've met them, they've given me some little string to catch to get away from them alive. I only really got it twice, though, the other three times I've met them I've ended up fighting. Those were just what happened in the RP. Oh well. It happens.
Anyway, they all seem like people (of some sort), so I guess we should all treat them like that. After a while, if you treat them like people, they should talk to you about joining.
See the difference?

Me too! It's like I don't want a Battleship, but it's unfair that I don't have one!

So I can get lots of free money to put into the AFA and BPA banks? Sounds like a plan.
But wait! Is the plural of Osiris Osiri? I JUST DON'T KNOW! :wacko:
Also, I like this Lovejoy guy.
EDIT: Also, Zapp speaks words of wisdom that are pretty much awesomesauce.
