[BU] - Bundschuh

[tfmachad]

As Dieter most cleverly said once:

As RM, I'm accustomed to being outnumbered. It happens sometimes. Then you do your best, you maybe get one of them before you die, then you get resurrected. You know, like Jesus, at Easter...

IS A GAME!!

Even though I saw two BU attacking one of the newest guys of the RM I wasn't ticked off. I don't really feel it's unfair for a fight like that. After all, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

Yesterday I was OORP considering with the other guys whether or not we should include Bruschal in our searchs whenever we go to Frankfurt after Bundschuh activity there. Like we we do most of the time about Vogtland. When we see Red Hessian activity in Dresden, we try to stick to the tradelanes and seldomly go there. Something about allowing at least a small corner for the enemies (neighbors) to chill out. Sometimes we do blitz the place for the sake of stirring up things a bit (last time I remember was a coordinated hit and fade strike against Varyag).

When criminals "terrorize" the more civilized space within Rheinland, specially New Berlin, they are entering the Eagle's nest and should expect heavy opposition from the RM. Even though it's an RP issue, I feel I cannot ask you to always be outnumbered just because it makes sense. I'll give in and say that a group of yours caught an RM patrol by surprise and overwhelmed it, fair enough for me.

My grievances from yesterday were:
First, we purposedly let you guys alone because we understood it wasn't the time. So, even if you guys came all the way to the New Berlin system, we'd firstly assume you were still taking missions to fix your reputation. Given that scenario, a "we're set/we're ready" would be a nice thing to hear if you planned to come and actually fight us.

Second, I understand that perhaps Varyag came in on his own account, but then more fighters from BU kept creeping in, to the point that even an unfinished vessel (untagged, civ ID) joined the fray. Sincerely, the sour taste of it was way beyond when you're simply outnumbered. I can't really describe the feeling without going outside of forum rules here.

Third, not allowing an already defeated RM to come back home. He even went out of his way to avoid crossing the group (Frankfurt to Hamburg to New Berlin) and still it wasn't enough. From all that's worth, my intepretation of yesterday's fight was that everyone just wanted a kill at any costs. Sadly at the cost of fair play as well.

Again, I'm not so pissed that I was overwhelmed, even though I think 5 (including a capital) vs 1 fighter was a tad over the top, but then again... I got angry at the utter disregard to our welcoming and the fact that it felt like, despite all things, this just came to add to the "let's mindlessly kill the RM extravaganza". Even though the taunts are well in RP. Criticizing my not so outgoing fighting style when I'm seriously outnumbered and outgunned like that while backed up by a large ship was kinda empty and very uncalled for.

In the end, as far as I understand, Varyag alone could have accomplished the same effect against us two.
