[BU] - Bundschuh

[tfmachad]

Just wanted to post here and let everyone know that we're doing our job. We gave two [RM] a pretty good time today just off of New Berlin. Ran one off, and the other one got me while I was typing. Dunno what happened after that, but I knew he was in poor shape.

Activity has been good, and everyone is starting to get set up pretty well. I'm personally looking into investing in a Falcata bomber for a little more artillery. I'm pretty excited about the way things are looking for the Bundschuh. I hope we wind up as an official faction!

I know this is hardly the place for this, but since you're using your faction creation thread to gloat I have a few words about yesterday's fight. I fail to see how that was "a good time". When you say you drove us off of New Berlin, you forgot to mention you had Varyag (cruiser) backing you up, against two of our Wraths. You also forgot to mention, that what started as an even fight (2 vs. 2), progressed to amass some four or five ships to your side.

Saying you lost your ships because you were typing makes it sound like we killed you while you RPed, but both ships destroyed were activelly fighting at the time they've blown away. If you couldn't handle typing and fighting at the same time, then suck it up. Even though we were outnumbered and outgunned, I declined help from an independent repair ship, because I sincerely don't agree with that. Two RepEx Black Talon came to assist, I thought I would have a chance against Varyag, but the bomber didn't have neither a SN, nor ammo to his torpedo launcher.

We went to Frankfurt earlier to engage you guys and respected that you were in the middle of fixing the reputation for one of your pilots, then I ordered all of my ships back to New Berlin. All my group but one left and I had to land. When I finally take off I see my one wingmen being mauled by you guys, including the one we had left alone because he was fixing his reputation. I have to say this, but even though we are supposed to be in RP enemies, I think a little OORP neighborhood courtesy is at hand. Even though you were online at the time, we all thought it was okay to ignore you since you were still engaged in setting up. As a matter of fact, I've been informed by one of my pilots that one(some) of you, actually asked for a week's grace period before we actively engaged in hostilities. So much for that, I think.

Then, being outnumbered as I was (after the RepEx were destroyed and the other RM had to leave the battle), I find I'm being attacked by a "white" [BU]. I scan the guy and he is flying a civilian IDed Sabre? Also, at the time he was less than 500 m from myself, so even though I was busy enough evading to check if he was actually firing at me or not, I'd say he was engaging me simply from being so close. I have to go out of my way to type and tell him to leave and he still asks me why...

Then, when I finally decided there's nothing I can do about that fight and left to Dresden, I contact the other RM (who was in Frankfurt by then), and instruct him to circle around through Hamburg, so he would avoid you guys returning to Frankfurt. When I finally make it back to the capital and contact him again, he tells me he is being followed. I check the player list and see your full force in Hamburg. Varyag, Nyx, the RHA and two or three of your ships, all onto one single RM that had already been defeated? Yes, I'm pretty sure you consider us aces to throw that kind of force against one single Wrath. I had to fly all the way to Hamburg to prevent that nonsense from taking place and prevent my pilot from being lynched, again.

Wonder why I didn't reply when someone PMed me "gf"? Because I wasn't at all impressed. To be blunt, I was disheartened that what could have been an even fight (the original 2 vs. 2) quickly turned out to be "spank the RM day". Even though we lost it, and lost it big, I'm more than satisfied we didn't give any of you the screenshot. At this point I'm just wondering if our newly formed ignore list will soon include a newly formed faction.

EDIT: Don't get me wrong. Apart from the Civilian IDed Sabre that entered the combat area, you were pretty much in RP and inside the rules. (applause)
