Quote:I write twice that in relation to Gallia, the concept of "gank" has almost become a reflex? This is not far away.
And I'm saying that's ridiculous. That is never a reflex. Gank is a conscious decision. Nobody ever grabs five ships and blows a guy up and says "oh geez, that was an instant muscle-memory response."
Quote:I quite seriously. I can tell you how I spent time in Magellan, and 10 Valors from Leeds came out against our 3 Dreadnoughts. I remember how we spent time in Magellan, and Gallia has teamed up even more than we have.
"I was ganked once by some randos so it's OK to do it back to people who may or may not have been there."
No, Lyth already said it earlier in this thread. Eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. You have to set the pace. Set a good example with good behavior and others will follow.
Quote: And I would not say that it was "gank revenge" - I certainly did not destroy your ship for this. I was more interested in the tactical advantage. If New Wales told you that it was revenge, then he wrote it to you, not our group. And these are two different things.
Well, the New Wales said it was gank revenge, and looking at his account he's a 6th member too. Your other 6th member, Justice, defended and justified it too. So by my count, two 6th members openly claiming justified gank revenge, and you defending the gank but not calling it revenge.
I don't care if you're interested in the tactical advantage. We're not real troops in a real war, we're players in a video game. You don't curbstomp for an advantage. Every real faction knows this. I cannot believe I am arguing this.
It absolutely is your group. Even if New Wales didn't have a ship in your faction (6th|LNS-New.Oregon), you and another 6th member are trying to justify it and defend it. And Justice helped enable it. He participated.
All I see you doing is trying to squirm away from your responsibility as a faction leader. You have to hold a higher standard if you ever want to be taken seriously as a faction. I see a LOT of feedback in this thread where people are saying you have a bad reputation for whining about losing, playing unfair, and trying to justify bad behavior. I understand now why that is.
YOU are the leader of this faction. YOU have to set the pace. If this weak status quo is what you're trying to defend, I really don't know what to tell you.
