Regarding the restriction on Liberty caps

[C.law]

Thats great news Jihad Joe. You all, both sides, showed a lot of maturity by just sitting down and talking out a plan. Well done all.

Thanks for coming to talk Jihad. I have the stuff you asked for coming. Looking forward to working on it.

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.

To Jimmy: I said this earlier, and no one who's panicking over this sudden "we gotz no supportz" thing has touched it.

I fail to see what's wrong with the pirates winning now and then. It's being made out like "Oh crap! There's no indies now, so it will only fall on the biggest player faction in the game to take care of defense! We're all gonna' die!"

It's a game, remember. If lawfuls can't take care of a pirate problem now and then, the actual wellbeing of Liberty doesn't actually suffer. And the LN are actually in the best position to defend themselves.

Hm?

You make it out like "Oh no, we don't get enough support from the LN! *sweatdrop sweatdrop* The... the pirates will actually win!"

Tell me what's so god-awful about this? In peak hours, the LN is pretty frakking dominant. What's this apocalyptic problem I keep hearing of, of Libety lawfuls losing now and then? Right now the unlawfuls lose the vast majority of the time, and even when they win, another LNS fleet shows up a few minutes later and schools them.


Good to hear things are working out with you fellows, though.

Ermmm... Chill down?

And Orin, I take it you mean Unlawfulls lose a lot of the time there...

I'm going to bed and will look at this again when I get back from work tomorrow.

because Jimmy and I used to log on at time when LN never conected and pirate seems virtually always there.
as such, our winning rate were medium... but Jimmy was on more often than I, and his lone gunboat couldn't do much. So, despite the fact it is a game, human nature doesnt like losing.

I witnessed much of the same, though often on my LPI, where a pirate fleet of all sorts of ships were attacking newyork and there were 5-6 LN in conneticut PVPing, and did not come out to help out the indies who were fighting and dying to try and protect newyork.

I’ll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it’s flag that I love
And a flag that I trust

[Orin]

No no, I'm totally calm. It's hard to express tone in text. >_>

And yeah, I edited that after I saw it.:lol:

So, despite the fact it is a game, human nature doesnt like losing.

Does this mean... oh God... I'm not human!

[Xing]

err... alright. For me and Jimmy then.

Actually, judging from my avatar/sig right now, I'm an immortal warlord of some sort.

Oh, this isn't flood, is it?

Anyways, I do think we need to stop thinking about losing so much. The problem that is trying to be fixed here is the lack of respect for the little guy (pirate). It's one thing to say "We need to show some tact, since the lack of sportsmanship is apparent." and "I'm getting killed too much, so I think we should let all those who go off and kill lone fighters (and such) keep doing what they're doing. That way I'll have a better time."

Catch my drift? I just don't think this...

"I'm getting killed too much, so I think we should let all those who go off and kill lone fighters (and such) keep doing what they're doing. That way I'll have a better time."

...overrules this...

"We need to show some tact, since the lack of sportsmanship is apparent."

Aye?
