Giaians and Xenos

[Tubalcaine]

I dislike the Yeehawing XA does.

*Cough* *Rolls eyes to the earlier post*

And then I remember that in this particular forum nobody cares about who I am or what I say.
That's put me in a sad mood. If anyone should want to know where I am, I'll be in the XA forums, denying the best join requests.

I Yeehaw as little as possible, if not never at all. I find it is bad for my character, for the faction, for the roleplay, and thus for the community in general. Sure, there will be Yeehawers in a faction, that is evident. But if you have a faction of Yeehawers- that is where you know your faction has gone wrong.

You can't deny that player's actions dictate as much or more than the NPC faction's history in how they are viewed by others.

So true, unfortunately. Maybe we have some lacking roleplay in the Xenos, I don't know. Maybe it a joke that got out of hand. All I know is, when the Keepers start making threats in system chat, your first thoughts aren't something along the lines of "How unlucky, I jelly AND the colour blue!" You should be more worried about being blasted into oblivion.

Honestly, I've got to agree with Del and Dusty. I'm still in the XA, but I don't use those characters nearly as often as I used to. Honestly, it's not quite as fun anymore. Worst part is, I don't know exactly where it went wrong.

And all this while I've been unable to play? Aww... thanks for making me feel needed!

I'd say (at least in my case it would be) it was the awful reputation we gained from the less... serious? among us. I'm not saying that being overly serious is a good thing or that not being serious is a bad thing. But when you are roleplaying a murderous 'terrorist' organisation you shouldn't be sat inside your Bowex transport with your cost-effective Transport 2 Turrets thinking "lol omg zeeners gonna get me... man the anti- hick turrets rofl, they may start throwing stones!" You should be thinking "Oh s**t, are they coming from the left? How many are there, will they single me out? I hope they don't have bombers, Jesus, these guys sound like they are going to decomission me, I hope I didn't make this trip to get blasted back to New London..."

Then it seems time for the old school Xenos to start to lead the way again. I'll be logging coachy for some good old fashioned cargo interdiction in the days to come I expect company, let's show these damn slack jawed yokels what being a Xeno is all about.

I fully agree Del, and I'd join you if I could, which I shall in a few months, assuming you are still going by then. But for God's sake man, don't stick to cargo interdiction, while that is a key practise , use your imagination! I think we need to alter our image, and maybe a decent show will be just the thing for that. I think it's time we reminded Liberty what fear feels like.

Maybe the XA needs a kick up the rear, as well as some promotion and possibly some material on the forum about how we operate, and how Yeehawing across Manhattan every single bleeding time you are on the fricking server is not conducive to Terrorist activity.

And moving onto the whole terror aspect, I agree there as well. I know that Xeno players used to scare the crap out of players. Especially new ones trying to scratch together their future in the Colorado Fields.
