Phantom Empire Faction Feedback

[Zelot]

Ok, so, I know I am most likely barking up the same brick wall. In fact, let me predict how this discussion will go on: I will point out a situation that I have experienced, you will say something along the lines of it being within your roleplay, I will point out blatant flaws in your roleplay, you will spew incoherent, mildly insulting gibberish, I will get pissed off and leave.

Now let the show begin!

Last night (?) I was just on my way to the Sigma 13 jumphole in New Berlin with a load of Scrap when Valentine came zooming past me. He jumped off the lane, said hello and shot a CD at me. Usual stuff. Fortunately, I was just by Essen station. So he and some other guy whose name I cant remember start flying around me while I'm trying to line up with the station. Then after a "Can we kill him?" they both opened fire. So, 3 lines of dialog, under one minute of talky talky before shooty shooty. Now I will ask as if I was too dumb to know, is this the sort of roleplay experience that I am supposed to expect from the Phantoms? I am starting to get a little sick of 90% of your members behaving worse than LN indies. Heck, from my latest experiences, I'll have to tip my hat to Zelot. He was one of the Phantoms that was able to maintain a conversation the longest. Only second to Zapps phantom. He just wanted my Zoner to dance D:

Now, onto my list of dares for the Phantoms:

1.Re-apply for official faction status. If your roleplay is so stellar as you believe it to be there should be no problem whatsoever.
2. Try to talk before you shoot. Pretty self-explanatory.
3. Try having a non-Junker hater within your ranks. Because, seriously, I don't think I have met a Phantom that doesn't hate the Junkers yet.

The list I had thought up yesterday had more points, but sleep took away a few. Oh well.

I patiently await your most likely scorchingly insulting replies.

Here is the problem with your comments.

So he and some other guy whose name I cant remember start flying around me while I'm trying to line up with the station

So you saw them and tried to dock.

Then after a "Can we kill him?" they both opened fire. So, 3 lines of dialog, under one minute of talky talky before shooty shooty

Well, you were trying to dock to get away from them, what were they supposed to do, watch you walk away while twiddling their thumbs?

See, they started attacking you after you started attempting to dock, you got just the amount of rp you let happen. As soon as you start to try and get away, the talking stops and the shooting starts, it's the same for any faction anywhere, you getting pirated by the rogues, you try to get away, they start shooting, same with the Navy, same with the Corsairs, same with any faction.



Now to your list.

1. Unless you are going to ask every other faction that was approved before the new faction rules, this one is not worth my time.

2. Dont chastise people for not talking enough before they shoot, when you do everything you can to get away while they are talking.

3. A non-junker hater.... hmm. Does Rudo qualify? What qualifies as a non-Junker hater? Someone who has played a junker before? Someone who understands Junker Rp? I would think Rudo would qualify for both, as in fact would I, as I have done both, but why dont you tell me? What qualifies as non-junker hater in your eyes? I certainly dont feel like I hate Junkers. I certainly hope you dont think that every time we attack Junkers it is based on some personal hate of the faction, instead of you know, being in our rp to not like Junkers.



I hope this post was as insulting as you had hoped.
