Benitez Feedback

[Jose Benitez]

Mule thanks for the feed back regarding the Benitez.

I have a few questions....

Do you know for a fact that most of the Benitez do not belong to other factions or is this something that you have decided based on your dealings with us? Equally, how is it that you know whether our players are well known outside of the Corsairs? I will admit that I do not know in detail who belongs to what but I am curious as to what you have based this view point on?

The underlying suggestion seems to be that you are accusing us (as individuals) of not participating on the disco forums? Again I'm curious as to how it is that you know this? Just because we do not post using Benitez names?

It's a bit of a shame that you have used the expression that "you guys are real easy to hate". You hate us? Literally?

Also can you please explain why it is that if all of the Benitez alter ego's were out in the open how the 'blows' might be lessened - or is this remark aimed specifically at Carlos? The Benitez, as individuals, do not generally feel that Carlos does make mistakes, so if by mistakes you are actually referring to a statement or position with which you do not agree then that does not make it a mistake. It makes it a different view point to your own - surely you cannot believe that you are the only person with a valid view point?

I'm also a little bit confused by what you mean when you say that the Benitez are 'nice'? If by this you mean that we do not conform to the comedy pirate from the Pirates of the Carribean or a crew member of Long John Silvers crew (complete with comedy parrot), then you are obviously correct. There are others far better suited to that role than we are (certainly than I am).

I'm also intrigued by why you think we are not integrated? If you mean why have we not agreed to the Corsair registry for instance then I (personally and not speaking for the Benitez) would ask why should I agree with something that I absolutely do not agree with, had absolutely no input in, and see it as detrimental to the development of players RP? Also are you telling me that the only people that have not signed the registry are Benitez, and their alts?

I would not say that being Benitez makes me (or anyone else) special. It does make me different, but in the same way that I'd be different if I was an independant. Why can't the Benitez have a different view point to others? If I'd (personally) shared more views/opinions with other Corsair groups I'd probably have joined them.

Finally, I'd just like to say that I find your final comment suggesting that I (and the rest of the Benitez) should 'behave' to be moderately offensive. It suggests that if I am not prepared to roleplay in the style that you feel is right then I am 'misbehaving' (unless you want to expand on what you actually meant?).

I dare say that this will open the flood (or indeed flame) gates and that I will be shot down here. But so be it.
