Thank you very much for posting this up. First of all, it's helped me actually understand your roleplay better. I've run into your faction multiple times, and I've never been able to figure out what you've been about other than killing things.

Used to be that I really was bugged about y'all ganking folks. I mean, seriously, I hated it. That was my own problem, though, and I've since gotten over it.

Only problem I still have with you guys is the quality of your roleplay. I understand if you're all brainwashed, but I have only ever seen one Phantom roleplaying in any way that wasn't exactly like every single other Phantom I've ever met. It's not a matter of your not being brainwashed, it's a matter of you roleplaying that brainwashing well. What I've seen has been fairly generic "evil madman" roleplay, and usually the "common" type. Specifically, I've seen almost exclusively the low-quality type. I'm not saying it's easy; on the contrary, a brainwashed evil madman is one of the most difficult character's to roleplaying realistically. However, that's exactly why the Phantoms are some of the few people who're allowed to do it. Theoretically, you should be better at it than the rest of us.

I've never really been scared by the Phantoms. Your roleplay simply hasn't inspired fear in any of my characters at all. In fact, it's all I, personally, can do to keep my own personal feelings of "this is so corny" from transferring to my character. Again, my own problem.

But please do try to actually inspire fear and show who your characters are while you brutally murder us rather than just shooting us randomly and for apparently no real reason. That's really the only thing I've seen y'all do wrong at all.
