The Colonial Republic - CR|

[Dane Summers]

Then the first part of that raid was us chasing you around Gallia.

Yeah, that was because our goal was to hit some GMS miners, and we saw you in the same system - so the idea was to draw you off a bit, so we could go and get them - rp behind that is economic warfare - damage gallia's war economy, and you damage gallias ability to continue the war - also the side benefit that terrorism makes a populace war weary, and more angry at their government for letting it happen. either way, the plan wasnt to piss you off by taking you on a merry chase - in the end though we were like "yeah, lets get to the fighting." *shrug*

When the actual fighting began, I had one of your members PMing me saying who knows what, but it wasn't about puppies, I can tell you that.

Yeah, and for that you have my apology. Afterwards, I instituted a new rule in CR, which was no green pm's to anyone were fighting, whatsoever, unless you were giving kudos. I've had other members green pm some folks, and all it ever does is piss people off. Whether that rule is followed, I can't tell. But I can post you skype quotes where i've told each new CR member not to do it.

and that it is a bit ridiculous if the CR go into the heart of Gallia, or really any of the core worlds. We agreed.

We did, and CR combat ships have never gone past Dauphine since.

I can't quite remember the circumstances of the next raid, but I do believe there was the cruiser there. Now you stated at the very beginning that you would never bring a cruiser in. So we smashed it. I believe it happened in Dauphine, with two cruisers (one being myself) and 2 GRP officers, +1 GRN indie. Your side had the cruiser and an assortment of snubs. I'm not really sure.

I have a couple members now that have cruisers, and on the one time I allowed it, it was mostly because I was upset with your previous conduct. Regardless, cruisers don't go past Orkney, and they really don't have too.

I'm not sure if it was at this point or later I got sick of it, but it doesn't really matter. CR has bad blood in it from the last CR. I told you it was going to be hard and you said you were going to be different from the previous CR. So far all I see is a copy of it with a tad less caps.

CR| as it was before I got involved had a fair number of people from =CR= - afterall, it was the faction for the folks who disagreed with the previous HC just saying "we quit" - some of these folks had been involved with =CR= in its glory days, and had lost interest once =CR= became the dry, enthusiasm-dead faction it was when I joined.
When I got involved, my hope was to clean the faction of negative =CR= influence, and so far thats been the case. The faction members I have listen to me (most of them) so it hasn't been a problem. I still have one or two folks who have serious temper issues, and I keep them around because their both my bro's, and because their enthusiastic and excited to be in the faction - thats a commodity factions need, that cant be forced. And now is when those people are needed more then anything else. If that means I have to play damage control a bit more, then I just consider that the price I have to pay.

My general mood when I hear of the CR being in Gallia is poor.

Then we can stop raiding if thats what you want. My intention is not to anger factions with what CR is doing. Originally the idea of gallia raids is because GRP and GRN are supposed to be spending the majority of their time out of gallia, and in taus\bretonia. It was a move to get some activity, for both of us, and it works honestly. But if its causing negative feelings toward CR, then its not worth it.

I'm still waiting for a simple raid of Gallia, and many more. I think we've pushed each others buttons a bit too much, and man, it is a bit pointless.

No worries bro.

Pft. That's nothing.

I do remember me.. and a couple of CR caps. And snubs. And those two Npc Zephyrs.

Nothing new, nothing old. It's Disco.

<3

If I remember correctly, we were attacking a base, and reavers\mercs showed up. Was a fun scramble, and I enjoyed it. One of the faction ragequit, though:D

As for that base, one of our faction members actually owns it now. (the faction doesn't however.)
