Bretonian Buccaneers

[jammi]

At first, I was annoyed. No, I'm not annoyed at the fact that I was shot down by Jammi, or that you folks pretty much insta'd Banza, the leader of the MR, with little to no warning. I was annoyed that I was dealing with a YAIF - "Yet Another Imported Faction."

Can I just interject here? We gave plenty of warning before attacking - we'd been neaby RPing for a couple of minutes, just things hit a peak when you pirated the transport we wanted, then you ignored us. So we engaged. There was warning as prior to the attack as well. And there was a slight gap between dropping Banza's shields and torping him; I had enough time to strafe under his ship and pause, so I was a bit confused as to why he didn't move or use bats.

To be honest, me killing you was 100% fluke though. By all rights you should have wiped the floor with me, seeing as I'm a terrible PvPer, I had no hull busters and I was in a Waran.

My character has ego issues - he believes the Buccaneers are far more important than they really are, and with Leeds being their founding system, he feels pretty protective of it. You're actually the third pirate we've dealt with in the system, seeing as before we extorted some cash out of a Lane Hacker for pirating rights. It only would have been something small like 100K, but he gave us a full 500K, so meh.

EDIT: Also, we're not RPing having been around for ever. The group was destroyed in space and was then non-existent for centuries. Buccaneers have existed on Planet Leeds itself as a planetside gang during that time, but didn't have a space-borne presence. We're RPing the Buccaneers return to their past glory, so we're undergoing a period of aggressive expansion to source resources and cement our reputation. I think it's fair to say people know who we are now, anyway.
