To All liberty citizens

[Jihadjoe]

I had an interesting experience today. And one that I wasn't going to put on the forums because I didn't think doing so would do any good. However here it is anyway, good or bad I'm gunna tell you.

This is only vaguely related, however I will attempt to pull it round to some form of relevance.

This morning I had some excellent RP on my [LN] char. Admittedly it may have been a bit confusing for some of the newer LN members (sorry fergus), but it was none the less excellent RP, and many many people there did an excellent job.

In stark contrast to that, this evening I flew into NY with a wing of three Xeno bombers. We roleplayed for all of about 8 seconds before being greeted by... (now this is astonishing) 2 Liberty assualt cruisers, a BH GS and about 12 fighters. All bearing down on three Xenos. None of the people involved respoded to our roleplay, not one said a word to us infact. The only piece of very scant RP was a battlecruiser, as we were about to destroy it (Nice work XA-Falcon and Black.Nova|X on doing that) saying "disengaging".

We took him out and then proceeded to all die, rather quickly. Again without a word from the people attacking us.

Now. Not a single person in that fight was a member of =LSF=, [LN] or LPI. LIberty is at the moment the home of overkil, and it is -not- the fault of the lawful factions who operate there (thats was the relevant bit). It is highly frustrating for those of us who try to operate there. There is little point RPing in other areas of liberty as people are even more silent (although less likely to jump on you with battlecruisers).

I am stuck on this. NY seems to have a split personality at the moment, switching from incredibly awesome, to utter rubbish in the space of a few hours. Many new members I would be getting seem put off by the fact that you try to do anything and just get killed, by an enemy you can do little to counter.

It is highly frustrating... and now I have vented that I feel much better.
