Though I had nothing to do with the RP encounters that you're claiming to be so ridiculously sub-standard...it's really starting to irritate how you think so much of an AI faction.
Lets get this straight. You are very unworldly and strange beings in lore. It's any wonder you're in lore at all but hey-ho. My point is, machines are, under no circumstances, going to be treated as friendly by anyone. There's that element of curiosity, nerves, anxiety that will be in human instinct whenever they're faced with a machine (cruisers being large ones as well) that's talking to them. If they're self-aware, that's even worse. The fact that, whenever i've encountered you with CL} or anyone else, you've never shown much in way of a friendly attitude (this is the faction in general, not a personal attack)...that's also not going to harbour a respectful response. That's the mental side of it.
Then there's your implied power-gaming where you seem to think that you should be referred to as some superior being by everyone you encounter. That's never going to happen so please step off the stool that you think you stand so highly on and come back down to the same level of thinking as everyone else.
Lastly, there's your incessant whining about both points and therefore your faction will gather a bad reputation for crying whenever you're pipes and metal frames aren't kissed accordingly.
Change the attitude of the faction and you might get somewhere.
EDIT: Now i've just seen your response to CL} after the 2ic (we'll ignore Jayce's retarded flaming) told you to shove it. Instead of taking the response on the chin and declaring diplomatic hostility, you decided to once again start meta-gaming, revealing that you in fact allegedly already know that they're addicted to Cardamine, thus apparently invalidating any response that we give you. It's like you already knew what we were going to say so you started throwing your toys out the pram once you were rejected.
That's just poor. Really poor.
I might want to add that I've been an element of this faction circa it's first official incarnation, and I've never seen any evidence of metagaming, sub-par Rp, or pewhoring.
I might also add that the CL} (official) response was hugely aggressive, but entirely inrp. What did you expect but an imitation of that? You're talking to an alien species and you have behaved in a manner which the AI's are entirely free to misinterpret as arrogance. You also mistake the fact that the Consensus has had a number of previous Rp interactions with the Contari, are InRp aware of Cardi's existence, have gathered a considerable quantity of (public) data through liaisons with the Edge world Zoners over an in game time period of two years, and thus would be aware of the OC's on some basic level.
Luke, where are you coming from?
