AI Flying Outcast Battleship?

[Malaclypse 666]

I got to the party late.. waited patiently in 23 for awhile with Dab in his carrier.

Finally, Dab contacted KNF/IG, and received permission to enter Kyushu in pursuit.

I, [TAZ]Avenging Angel, stayed at the Kyu/23 hole while the Syros scouted. Syschat was silent the entire time. I finally PM'd the prom/24 directly.. something to the effect that //well, are you going to twiddle thumbs, or play the game..? No response. waited again.. Dab still hadn't located the BS. a Zoner trader flew through, RPing his pants off. Still nothing from the BS.

I PM'd direct again.. //you started this.. at least you could have the courtesy to respond or not waste our time.

I finally got a response that he was being screamed at, or sommat, and after that two privates that he had to answer the phone.

I was about to leave and head home at that point.. As Dab stated, if you're not ready to actually continue the RP, then F1 and leave. But Dab indicated he had located the BS. I saw him on map "near" the 23 hole, so inquired if he was "up or down".. I headed up, and found the Syros, 24, and half a dozen folk from AFA, KNF, and IG.. all attempting to RP the release of 24's captives, Syros being a bit insistent on having "dibs" on killing him, and myself trying to defuse the situation by talking again privately to 24. All I got were ooc complaints.

From the time I joined, til I finally got completely disillusioned and left, I don't think there were two actual lines of RP chat from Cinder, in well over an hour. He was either "busy" talking to others, repeating the same "injustices" to me over private, while I tried to convince him I would do my best to salvage the situation and get him out alive, and all of the aforementioned //ooc shouting and whining in syschat.

One hour. .perhaps two or three roleplay lines of chat during the whole period.. You tell me who's playing the game "correctly", please.

As to the "missing" posts in Obnoxious' thread, I did that. Mama Dis was trying to be humorous. It was not taken as such, and rather than have a big stink between SoB and TAZ over a bloody joke, I attempted to apologize, and deleted the posts.

To no avail, it appears. It was an embarrassing encounter. I don't wish to repeat it, ever.

Regardless of how much wonderful work and RP Cinder has done in the past, this was complete and utter bollocks, and I refuse to experience it again. Period.

And that's all I will say now or ever again on the matter. Take it as you will.
