I was, and now am again, at the fact that your faction acts like a import from another server that just decides to walk in, and start screaming at everybody like they own the place, and have owned the place, for a long time. And I will make this clear to everyone who still has doubts.

I ABHOR IMPORTED FACTIONS THAT ACT LIKE THEY OWN THE PLACE.

Err... we're not an import. I don't quite understand why you're screaming at us for being one. We "act like we own the place", you say? Isn't that pretty much what any pirate faction does, really? We're levvying fees for passing through "our" territory, just like any other pirate faction.

And, I hate anything that tries to act like that. No, this does not mean that I dislike your RP about taxing other pirates and being competitive. That's fine. What I dislike is that you did this the DAY AFTER you posted your intent thread.

I'm not going to hold this against you personally. I think that I will continue to have many positive interactions with you and Glenn ingame, as with the other members of your faction. But so long as your faction continues to act like those imports we are so very fond of, it will never gain my approval.

Every single other person and faction here earned their place. The MR, was at one point in time, unknown. There is that transition period during which a faction, especially a non-vanilla faction, makes themselves known. I'm guessing this happened before the faction intent post, and before you announced to everyone who you were, what your intentions were, and your diplomacy?

Should we have waited a week? A month? What, exactly, comprises "acting like an import"? How does one "transition" into piracy, exactly? I would like some constructive criticism here, and if you could answer my questions in a bit more detail, I think we might be able to learn something out of it.

Personally, I'm not hurt or angry, but rather befuddled as to how we have provoked one of the most vitriolic posts I have ever seen from you. Personally, I don't quite think we deserve that sort of attack, and I hope you manage to cool off enough to answer my questions.
