RE: The sanction of the Hess/Bret Combined Forces BattleGroup

[Mímir]

Great thread, keep it going:-)

The fact of the matter is that all this could have been avoided if RH/BAF had applied a tiny bit of common sense. Grouping or not grouping is - in my view - of no importance, as you simply just shouldnt be there side by side ganking a base to begin with. RH shouldnt have joined in, and when they did BAF should have chased them off - in all seriousness when do you allow a capital warfleet from a known unlawful/terrorist organization within your space???

Now we get all these after-rationalizations about how Bretland once used the RH in an attempt to bully Rheinland back when the mild hostilities was going on and bla bla bla. It is borderline ridiculous.

Even the punishment is fitting, albeit harsh: Both sides lost something of tangible value (although if anybody lost their CAU's and gear, I would really blame their own stupidity - why log back on right away when the text in the sanction thread was explicit about your ships' current location and more-or-less explicit about your ships' unmounted gear).

So instead of making a 12-page whining thread (which is somewhat entertaining to read though), just man up, admit to your blatant oversight/manipulation of RP premises ("oh in fact we are best of buddies with the RH and vice versa, lol") and get on with it. You got the 'Sair base, mission accomplished.
