The Colonial Republic - CR|

[Dane Summers]

Alright -

First off, Duncan - your feedback so far has been "i wont deal with these guys till they stop acting like idiots, and act like a faction"

Clarify please?
Other then Coronado, which was, until that point an isolated incident, and not even intentional - the other times weve interacted with GRP have been thus...
(that i can accurately remember)

the first raid where we got smashed
the second raid where the valor showed up*
another raid with one of our cruisers and a gunboat, where we got two cruisers dropped on us, both indies and official, and got killed pretty good
the myriad times where that one GRP bomber pilot made us all look like fools.

After that, weve had a few encounters with GRN, of which - one was the valor - another was a single cruiser - and another was a fighter duel (other then the one leeds battle where 5 GRN| caps attacked two pythos)

So, clarify please? What is it were doing wrong?

As for the valor - there's no coroborating evidence that it came under fire - it was 4k away, out of the fight, and its first message was...

GRN|RNS-|Ciel.Enflamme: The crown hath called, and we doth answer. Foward, for the people of gallia!

...which sounds like that could be mistaken for an engage message.
A group of fighters, not a bomber among them, would be clinically braindead if they strafed and dropped some mines on a valor, in some vain attempt to do any damage to it.

GRN|RNS-|Ciel.Enflamme: Gunners, man the stations and prepare for war, the sky shall be shattered!

which definitely was an engage message, and during this whole time, my lag was in the fifties, so I had stayed out - the valor moved to outside the battle - said its first message - and in under a minute - said its second message and opened fire. *shrug*

I wasn't even angry really, I thought the battle was pretty fun for most of it - some of my faction members were livid, however.

Either way, its ancient history.
