Mea culpa

[tfmachad]

I've seen so many topics lately on rule breaking, rule lawyering, bitter goodbyes, general dissatisfaction and the sort that it got me thinking. Sometimes we are so angry we completely forget to look back to ourselves. So I decided to start this topic and share some of my regrets from certain things I've done here in Disco. Sometimes it's difficult to send a message from a posture of righteousness, maybe in doing the opposite, we can actually build some common understanding.

If anyone else has got some similar story to tell, please feel free to follow suit. People say there was this guy once, quite smart one apparently, that said: "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

...

Situation #1:
2 on 2 fight in New Berlin. We killed the first one and continued fighting the second one. After one or two minutes the first one shows again and engage again. I say, "// You're supposed to be dead" and since he doesn't give up we kill him again then engaged the second guy again. We were fighting around the Dresden jumpgate and he's giving us a hard time flying between the jumpgate's structure making it difficult for us to aim and follow. Eventually we kill him and then he says, "Good fight". I'm still pissed about his friend re-engaging and reply, "Not really". Not satisfied I PM him and say, "Next time don't re-engage".

What I regret: It was indeed a good fight, something different if not unique, but I'm so blinded with rule lawyering I was not able to acknowledge it at the time and despite having a reason to be angry, I could have recognized it and talked to the guy about rules afterwards.

...

Situation #2:
I'm fighting around New Berlin and die. A couple of other guys from my group keep on fighting with the hostile. I'm curious about the battle outcome and want to check how's it going. Since the battle is taking place less than 10k from where I respawned I decided to dock out and take a look. I literally sit at the docking ring to watch the show.

What I regret: Even though I didn't re-engage. I should have thought that if had my previous enemy on my scanners so did he. I know I don't like it when I pick up a "dead" character on my sensors, specially when I'm fighting.

...

I'll post some more later, those were two recent things that came to my mind.
