[Official Event]: First Fight, Tau 44 - Chapter I (22nd Sunday January, 20:00 UTC)

[Vendetta]

And my experience wasn't overly negative. The only thing wrong with flying a GRN indie is that you're up against six or so caps while trying to duke it out with snubs that continuously run to the caps for support. There's genuinely nothing fun about that, and I'm probably not going to log for the event if it's going to keep happening, because I honestly can't be bothered to spend money on a valor/obstinate or whatever to have six caps cruise up to me and go guns blazing. There is genuinely nothing appealing, motivating or entertaining about it.

#DeltaWasBetter

Considering you'd sooner see me banned than give me the time of day, I was genuinely surprised to see you show up on the GRN side. It looks like you've gotten the general impression of how things have gone, do go, and will go in future already, though.

Delta was and is better - I said as much on TS yesterday, as I'm sure you and everyone else in the channel heard. From what I saw in the coordination Skype chat for this event, I was under the impression it had been delayed until the 20th on account of the ongoing Zoner drama. I don't understand the rationale behind forcing this lackluster event series ahead over an ongoing Omicron crisis that is both organic and about ten times more interesting than the same old types of fights I've been getting sick of for years. Almost all the organisation and story benefit and everything else from this event is both being pushed for, drawn up, and being given to CR and Council anyway - I'm not sure what GRN is meant to be offered besides losing an empty system (which I don't really care about) and some more stale pews the likes of which haven't changed since 2014 at least (which I also can't really be bothered with, if I'm honest).

Lastly, all I'll say is that Wesker's last post is half-right. It's a combination of both the "xd gallia sucks" meme forcing its way into reality and the simple fact that when people do try to fly GRN indies (hello Vendetta), half the time their experience is so unfulfilling due to a variety of factors (outnumbered, cap spammed, etc) that I really can't blame them for not wanting to try it again. Unless people are expecting me to throw the official GRN| tagged Valors out to indies in order to boost numbers - I'm not quite at that level of desperation yet, mostly because I couldn't care less about the iRP or ooRP outcome of this event series - I don't know what you want me personally to do. The point at which I'd consider my own enjoyment secondary to the health of the faction or something like that has long since come and gone after years of digging through the same sh*tshow that is trying to keep Gallia even slightly alive, and I refuse to even consider the idea of encouraging fights to swing more towards being cap-focused on account of it ruining my personal enjoyment.

On the contrary, this isn't the first time I've played on the Gallic side before. Even years prior I gave it a try, but back then things were a lot different.

I still don't care much, and I've known how hard its been playing as what everyone sees is the antagonist. I'm in the antagonist Nomad faction and have learned to cope with constantly being outgunned and outnumbered every time I log in to the point I have accepted that my purpose as a nomad is to exist solely as other people's entertainment of playing the heroes. If I really wanted to I could adopt a similar attitude for playing the GRN.

But I won't.
