New Berlin Unprotected!

[Zukeenee]

Hey hey hey... please don't start another one of these arguements...

As you can see, OsoRojo posted this in the "Roleplay" section. It is his character that is criticizing RM, not OsoRojo himself. It's bound to make a few of you Rheinland guys angry, but that's what it's supposed to do. It's Red Hessian propaganda, not meant to be an insult to RM. Well, not entirely, anyway.

It's not much different from Ember's situation. He attacked some guys, killed them, and made an in-character post about it. Granted, the key difference here is the lack of anyone around to defend the place. Even though the SF weren't present for Ember's attack, BSG and that SiN Tech guy were. The H.S. Rancor, however, didn't do anything quite as serious as MOX-bomb Planet New Berlin. He just killed a few guys around Rheinland and generally disrupted stuff, as most pirates do anyway.

As for trying to argue with him, in character or out of it, what's the point? He's a Hessian. You don't argue with them, you shoot them. He did what Hessians do, and now RM should come back with a good RP counter-attack. Yes, he's attacking the Rheinland Military with his words. But would the Rheinland Military make a bunch of posts saying how unfair he's being? Hell no! The Rheinland Military would come back in force! Defend their home, and maybe even actively go out after the pirates (hey, there's enough pirate scum in Rheinland these days... maybe you guys should make some sort of campaign?;)). It should be understood that real-life occurances often affect this kind of roleplay. The RM may not always be around to keep Rheinland in order. But you've got to work around that! Be creative. Make some sort of 24/7 New Berlin Automated Defense System if you have to. You can't always give the excuse that "I couldn't get on at that time." It's perfectly reasonable, but just because you're gone doesn't mean that your character is, too.

So, yeah. That's what I have to say. Now maybe this thread can get into some real roleplay, as it was intended to be. Take up arms, forces of the Hodge!
