Reaver Mercenary Co.

While you have a valid point about how we currently operate, the blame lies with those who hire us. Not us. they enable it. We take advantage of them. If they didn't enable us to flip flop, we'd be forced to pick a side and stick with it. I don't have an issue with doing that, but until we are made to do so in role play; it makes no sense in role play not to take advantage of our employers.

As for us having more power inRP than we should have due to this being a game? Not our issue. I'm not going to not play my Reaver because we have high activity. I'm not going to purposfully lose a fight either (unless I need to leave asap or just feel like leaving quickly!).

First of all, no one faction should have an INRP increase in power due to an OORP strength. It only serves to demoralise other factions. I cannot believe you don't see that? Secondly, no one asked you to purposefully lose a fight, so I don't know where that came from. A bit of realism to your diplomacy would help but that's too much to ask. In the end it boils down to this. You guys will keep on doing whatever it is you do. People on the short end of the stick will continue to get frustrated until such a time as they just avoid you completely.

Thirdly, in all my posting, I haven't demanded a thing, merely asked that you think about the realism of your diplomacy, which is basically hogwash. You actually admit this but then state that it doesn't matter as the factions allow you to do it??? Yeah, also trying to figure that one out, don't worry your not alone there.

Also, the blackmail doesn't come from, "Give us your stuff or we kill you on the spot!" No, it comes from the ability to chop and change diplomacy at will and the ability to force people into hiring you for fear of you being hired by their enemy. Your unfair strength comes from the ability to pick sides willy nilly with no consequences. That's unrealistic, I merely keep pointing that out.

I don't really care if you guys are in it for the blue messages, what I care about is if your going to be official, shouldn't your diplomacy and actions at least be somewhat realistic?

Here, let me give you an example. If you have two teams, playing whatever sport. One side gets all the pros and the other side gets, well, the losers. Why would you expect the losers to keep on playing against the pros? That don't learn anything, it's not fun and they only get demotivated further. You guys have an unfair advantage over other players, you admit this but then say it isn't a problem. And then you wonder why you get negative feedback? And when someone points it out, they just angry for being killed and that's it. They must learn to deal with how you get your jollies.

However, don't worry about negative feedback, you guys will get your officialdom, you will get your ID, your own ship line eventually and you won't have to worry about others as you will still get to have your fun. It's quite simple, feedback means nothing to Reavers as they don't need to worry about it affecting them in any way.

Yeah, just asked myself the right question. Why am I still bothering answering the obvious taunts? I'm done.
