Quote:I am inactive, and I have seemed uninterested, but it has been a rough time due to a million school projects and me having to ferry between two houses every damn week, one without internet. Real Life > Freelancer. You know this. I can't help it when I am exhausted and want to enjoy the game when I can and not have to deal with so much stuff when I have no clue what to do. Why the hell does Dab do stuff still? I'm watching, letting him take the weight, and learning.

If that has been the case for the past months/weeks, why did you even accept leadership? You should have known leading a military faction is hard work, carries a lot of responsibility and will take a lot of paperwork time. If you don't enjoy that, why do you even bother?

Quote:Neil Barnes did a lot of initiatives, mostly in the area of the Logistics Fleet. Now I have an initiative, and that's to fix all this crap you have thrown on my lap.

I didn't throw anything on your lap. The issues I describe are there for weeks, I'm not adding anything new, just describing the situation and urging you to do something about it

Quote:I will limit such communications to myself until all can be sorted. Happy?

If you can answer threads by yourself in a reasonable amount of time, ofcourse I'm happy. If you can do it in a way that suits Gallia and the GRN, and if you stick to the things you say, there wouldn't be any complaints. I can go into more details regarding that if you wish.

Quote:I threw out the capital ship rank restrictions. So sue me. You want to join and have your cap? Be active, and fly a snub once in awhile. You don't like my way, then deal with it. We're here to have fun, and not everyone has fun in a fighter.

If that is your policy, so be it. I strongly disagree with such regulations, because heavy capship use from official (military) factions is heavily frowned upon. Apart from that, capship restrictions are a good motivator for promotions. Why would someone bother becoming a captain if they can fly a tagged Valor at Sous-Lieutenant? This policy also results in a lot of inexperienced, poorly armored and equipped capital ships. People will just die in them, how much fun is that.

Quote:As I have said before: if you are going to bitch about the activity of MY FACTION, then you best be prepared to HELP WITH IT. Otherwise, take a hike, because the relentless bitching does little besides me playing a parrot and worsening the already bad headache I have.

I got plenty of other responsabilities, like y'know, running the bottom-of-the-foodchain faction. GRN's problems are you problems. Just because I'm not willing to join under the current circumstances does not mean I can't say what I think you're doing wrong. Blaming it all on your current mood isn't going to help either. The pressure and responsabilities don't account for that. If you're not up for the job, why did you take it?

Quote:I can't fix everything alone.I got about 5-6 people helping me with the revamp. Would be nice to have the third official faction stop by and help.

This is about the problem of GRN, not just Gallia. I'm more then willing to help with a proper government, and I'm glad we're already making some good steps.

Quote:On communication, Jeremy will handle most of it, I might pop up here and there. I have spoken to Abuzar concerning transmissions before, I'll have a talk with him again. Unless otherwise stated by the two of us, assume any transmission made by anyone other than Jeremy, myself, or the King account is NOT an official statement by the GRN.

Good, saves you the public humiliation next time.

Quote: ('¦) Activity is bred from activity, and the more people who come to Gallia, the more you'll see the GRN and GRP.

Ever since the player bases, there is plenty of traders activity in Gallia. But like I said, I can understand why you're not in the Core worlds very often. That does leave the Tau's though, why aren't you there? It's not the daily brawl with BAF, there are all sorts of people to interact with, miners, pirates, Outcasts, bretonians, colonials'¦ The tau's are the weakspot of the supply routes to and from Gallia, be there!

Quote:I don't know why you think GRN will is law, ('¦)

That is caused by your general attitude of what the GRN should and will be doing. Even when you had your rights taken away, you still had the 'You're working with US, not the other way around' attitude. At least that's the impression you left the rest of us with. I'm not the only one thinking that.

Quote:As to the claims that I've "slashed GRP attempts to adapt Gallia" those are false. I disagreed with Duncan on a few issues. If you'll remember the incident you're trying to refer to, it took Loken and I a couple minutes to come to agreement on the steps needed to be taken once he arrived. GRP got what it wanted without causing problems that the GRN would have to suffer consequences for (most importantly the diplomatic ramifications with Kusari in the actions GRP wanted to perform). You'll also remember that the community overwhelmingly agreed on the point that the GRP stepped past their right on that issue as well.

I don't want to make this thead about this incident, but I'll say that it's pretty amazing how your experience differs from the rest of the participants. We all agreed that GRP ruling wasn't going to work. They rushed it, and made a mistake. My problem was with the way you reacted instead. Going solo against talks that were going on to fix it. Using the King account to public mock the GRP's decision was very wrong in our opinion.

Quote:In short, if you want cooperation, you yourself have to be cooperative. Intentionally trying to exclude an entire faction from the decision making process, as was attempted by some of the Gallic players against GRN, gets you nowhere, especially not any closer to a cooperative environment. Nor does trying to exclude certain people because of personal dislike for them. Furthermore, trying to tell GRN to screw off when the GRP unilaterally makes a decision to restrict all factions other than IDF from transporting Cryocubes doesn't help either. Yes, I stepped in and said no, GRN would not back such a move. Why? Not because GRP made the decision, but because it screwed over the EFL, Solar, GMS, and seriously threatened the diplomatic standings between Gallia and Kusari. Furthermore, and most importantly, that decision that GRP made had also very nearly resulted in the dev team adding Cryocube sale locations to other areas of Sirius, removing it as an exclusive Gallic good. It was the tweaking of that decision, the tweak that Loken and I easily and cooperatively discussed and agreed upon in the span of a few minutes after hours of arguing between others, that prevented that calamity from occurring.

That is very hard when you enter a conversation presenting your opinion as the only possible option. No matter if you intended it or not, you start by arguing, then after other people have to calm you down, you start to compromise. We didn't exclude GRN, we had a working government with a voting system. GRN was the only one against these plans, and you said this whole new system didn't apply for issues that should have been discussed in the past. What's the point of a government if you get to decide when it applies or not? We didn't exclude GRN, GRN's plans were outvoted. Period.
Again, I don't want to make this about you, and this is my opinion of why things are going wrong as they are. You should wonder why so many people thing badly about you. Maaaybe it's you instead of everyone else. I'm sure you have good intentions, but your way doesn't work, as it is confirmed many times by many people.

We'll never agree, so don't bother trying to convince me. I'm sharing my point of view, as did you.
