Why don't I just clear this up. Take a hard look at this thread and the timestamps.
It predates ANY of this squabbling over the Scylla.
And the 'little bird', thats me. Hawk jus wasn't willing to hang me over it without talking to me first.
The Mollys HAVE been in touch with me in-game. Often. And I report to Hawk.
The line could not be straighter.

Now I know some folk like to spend forum time RPing and game time pew-pewing, but not ALL players do this, so that leaves many of us with time to RP in-game, in fact, that's all we do.
Did you eever seem to notice that the .:j:. tag doesnt show up in the red messages more than once every couple days? there's a reason, we're RP'ers first. It's what we DO.
We often tell our members, "If you want to pew-pew, make another character for another faction, this isn't the one for fighting."

You can bet that any of us spends most of our time balancing comms from friends, allies, and other Congressmen till we're blue in the face. -Not slamming our strafe keys-
As Junkers, EVERY pirate group is our ally. We have many friends, some who contract to your factions. Think they won't drop a dime if it suits them and gets them docking rights or a better price on pirated cargo?
Seriously, If I had to post all my in-game comms on the forums just to prove that they happened I'd break 5000 posts in days.
Anyway, I really don't mean to sound offensive, I just feel I need to drive these points home.
We have TONS of allies, IRP, who contact us ALL the time with info and beg us to haul off pirated cargo. That's the point of a neutral faction with unlawful friends.
Zoners get the good guys (who dont have any interesting info or cargo anyway) and Junkers get the bad guys (who do).
Call it metagaming if you will, but if a merc says, "did you know KPT is diggin up dirt on you? There's an info bounty." to one of us in passing, how quickly do you think that information is gonna disseminate through a quasi-legal group whose business is always in danger of discovery?
