Well.. After reading this, i need to put my two cents here.
I was just in my Mandalorian in T23, like 30 minutes ago, and where a battle started 5 v 3 (4 Sabres, 1 LF vs 1 GB, 2 Nyxes) evolved to a 5 v 4 (another gb joined), which then we didn't had enough firepower to take out the GB's. We lost due to two indie oc's there for they went for the 1v1 instead of shooting the first gb.
In my run to freedom, i was shot at like hell.
Now, let's go back six/seven hours. I was in my CR, merrily fighting my way through a 3 v 6 (2 Nyxes and an Eagle?) versus 5 Sabres and a LF.
Got shot at pretty well and finally, my nanos ended and i went to T44.
Ye, i lost both and i shrugged it off, on any of the battles i fought for it's a bloody game.
I logged and went to have fun doing some other thing.
And believe me. I had a lot of T23 to be 'raging' or Q_Q.
Now one of the best moves i ever made when i was in CR was joining the 101st. For it made me see a lot things. Gave me a whole new view, and more respect for any of my enemies.
But many of you that think the hate and whatever comes from the higher ups in the factions, sorry to say but you are mistaken. I have yet to see the first sign of hate from Linkus, and Doc never did anything against CR ooc. iRP, he shot at us, but also talked and talked.
The hate is generated within T23. Within the indies.
Yeah, we all have a certain measure of pride for our factions, but that is general. All people try and have pride in the factions they are within.
But indies, take it to another level. Within the ones that calls for reinforcements and that later, no one can get a hand on it for it was blew out of proportion.
How many times i've seen someone calling for backup near Cali/Java, and the backup came in the form of Zephyr's/Dentes/Ranseurs or coming in a number that would probably be enough to start a little invasion, virtually throwing any balance out of the window and becoming a gank where people rage and Q_Q.
Well. We all rage. We all Q_Q. I got tired of that and just dodge/shoot till the end of it comes. Then i log into a new char.
It's a game, i'm permitted to have fun.
And Chenzo. Stop. You were always disrupting everything within CR, from naming your ship, to ignoring orders, etc.
You're a good guy, but in this one, i side with Link.
