A time to reflect

[sovereign]

Rheinland? yep, havent seen a RM player there for weeks, hessians, ditto, GMG, etc etc very quiet.

Buh? I can go grab the patrol reports from our forums, RM have been more alive than ever before. Just last night we took a little hunt after a mercenary spy, kept a Volksfront operative from harming trade, and then to top it off dismantled a pair of Harvester gunboats. This stuff isn't out of the ordinary either, the Volksfront and RHA have been picking up the pace a bit too.

<shameless plug>

By the way join the Volksfront. We're wicked awesome, and we fight the powertraders with RP rather than PvP. It actually seems to work better by the way, talking to traders gets more of them off the run than blowing them up. Plus we're one of some four groups that have pulled off OC/Sair neutral successfully.

- PVP stupidty is perhaps a little higher, though i have not seen a massive increase, i will admit though to seeing more "shoot first" behavior, with Rubbish RP - my trader was shot up badly over NB last night by a Hessian tagged Liberty Rogue Id'd player, who dropped my hull to almost nothing then uttered "Tax ?" - (nice RP buddy.) I was also shot up by a Zoner ID'd fighter (also in NB) the other day, with no hint of RP.

If you ever see this from a Bundschuh player please send me their name so I can have them hung. If you see this from random people in Rheinland let me know anyway and I'll bring their names to the Rheinland Pirate (convenient acronym is RP:happy:) skype chat so we can either shape them up or kick them out of Rheinland. Ain't no hidin' place here for ooRP, all factions in Rheinland work together to make the place the best it can be. (It helps when most of the leaders are in multiple groups- I lead the Volksfront, while also having a Corporal in the RM and a Wild. Makes planning stuff and balancing teams a breeze.)



On a happier note, a lot of people I talk to are being increasingly friendly and understanding as players, even in *gasp* Liberty. Gigantic kudos once more to Galactica, who stopped his Liberty Gunboat's guns when I pointed out that the rest of the fight was 4 Greyhounds vs 6 Avengers/Guardians/Raven Claws. People are willing to give you a kill when you deserve it rather than meek out a survival over an hour and a half, and I've had no troubles finding trustworthy players to do transfers.

Sirius is a much better place than people make it out to be. It really depends on the perspective you take going in- if you want to have fun, you'll have fun. If you want to find stuff to complain about, you will.

I want to have fun.

Do you?
