' Wrote:Accually Drake, I'm sure I had a hand in cementing the stereotype back in the day with another player who was OSC...I never heard Gaians referred to as hippies until he & I started to make it a habit of trading RP insults back & forth. it was funny at the time & it just happened to stick.
I like it as a derrogatory term, but it stopped being as amusing to me when new people kept coming on the server & thought that that's what the Gaians actually were.
Now it's like having to do 'damage control' all the time
If I only knew then what I know now...;)
Seriously, though, I can see another potential angle for the Gaians to not like the Mollys. The Mollys are miners, a trade that traditionally is bad for a planet's environment. Granted, most of the mining the Mollys do is on asteroids, but imagine if they found significant deposits of Gold on Gaia. Dublin isn't that far away from Edinburgh, so the Mollys might try to get a piece of that, if only to stop BMM in its tracks.
Granted, that's all speculation and what-if's, but it is possible.
By the way, what is the stance the Gaians have toward the IMG? I know the Mollys are against them, but I haven't noticed how the Gaians and IMG react to each other out in Tau-31.
