The Colonial Republic - CR|

[Dane Summers]

I will admit there have been fights hampered by massive numbers, where communication gets lost in the confusion. I have the entirety of the Reavers, including the GRP leader, who refuse to talk to me, and think I'm a scumbag, because I was at a disadvantage against three of them, asked for a duel, was given it, then while I was busy fighting for my life, two indies - including a =CR= - showed up, and engaged with one liners, and then two of my own faction saw a fight was under way, and did the same - by the time I knoew what was going on, I tried to order both My guys and The Indies out, but to no avail - the fight was on, and much swearing was had in skype about both me and my faction. Bridges were burned, and it wasn't even intentional - i did not request the indies, or my own guys - and my guys know better then to jump in on fights and make things unbalanced - but that doesn't change minds, does it?

In both instances you described, it seems the situation was interesting, if not numerically fair.

One cruiser against several snubs, depending on the cruiser pilot, will either be a slaughter, or a route. That particular cruiser pilot is one of the best on the server - if it had been me, you'd be painting a cruiser hull on your ships, and celebrating - in this case, the cruiser fought you off, and even killed a few of you. However, that incident produced another issue which is still being worked out.

As for the snub brawl and the gunboat - thats been discussed. Since it was P\R, had I been there, my rulling would have been to keep it out of the fight, and it looked like that was the intention. I can see how you could mistake it being in the fight, and lets not kid ourselves, the hard targets are always the first to shoot - both because of the prestige in killing them, and because the bigger usually is the more dangerous.

Either way, your opinions in this thread are much appreciated Rodent. Thanks
