Orin, Xing, why should we? We have attempted in the past only to be met with sarcasm and snide remarks. With some of the comments made to us by the Xeno's, I doubt there will be ANY dialog with them at all. The Harvesters at least have made some attempts to RP with us, granted a majority of them have been power playing but at least it was something. The other thing you fail to remember is that if we are hunting someone, we are NOT going to say anything. Accusing us for being out of RP in this type of situation is moronic. You tell me ANY predator that makes noise before it attacks. I think this is the guideline that Suzy has decided upon and there has been no counter reasoning presented during any of our discussions. It is not out of RP for a hunter to remain silent. As to the argument for fairplay, how about the battlecruiser that decided to blast one of our fighters today? So please, do not preach at us about fairplay. What goes around comes around. I have NEVER seen DarkWing initiate unfair tactics in the three years I have been with them.
As I have always said, if you don't want us using certain tactics against you, don't use them against us.
I understand there being a desire for some dialog but considering there have been quite a few attacks against us without a word being said, why would you expect us to present you an advantage by saying something while your firing at us?
As to the roleplay history, sorry but we have already encountered several people who like to metagame a bit TOO much. Why should we reveal everything just so these pathetic twits can just come up with abstract crap to attack us? The stories are written, they are not changing. Roleplay works in multiple ways, if there is reason to believe that the information would be in the archives here, then fine post it. If the history would NOT be in the archives here, why should it be posted. Revealing the information in that particular case would be metagaming. The history could easily list both strengths and weaknesses. I could easily see some people here focusing on using the weaknesses against us and using abstract comments to nullify the strengths.
