' Wrote: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?
Faster than the forums, I promise you.
Trying to label me as some kind of a PvP-whore just because I'm asking you to show some credible and attainable sources to justify what seems to be timely fashioned message-dump responses to character-unreachable communication threads being made against .:J:. interests does not only make me take your response that much less seriously, but you make yourself look like a 3-year-old who fails to answer the question in a straight-up manner.
But that's fine, I can reply in the exact same manner:
I Role-Play in-game too, and just because I know how to fight and know what it means to perform good team-work (surprisingly that actually demands some level of intelligence as well), and gain a high win-ratio in combat, does not mean I don't write, or Role-Play . Just because you happen to be my enemy and someone I'm ordered to shoot on sight, does not mean I don't write, or Role-Play. I do not understand how many times I have to repeat myself about this matter before it gets into your rather ignorant and narrow-minded head.
Most likely I will be forced to draw a picture with crayons of different exciting colours til' you do finally understand that combat is a part of the entire Discovery Role-Play one which you seem fit to participate in by sending Mollies across half the galaxy from their ZoI (with one of the most stupid Role-Play backgrounds ever) to FIGHT, (you know combat?) for you, yet have the guts to come here and try lecture me about "Only being a pure writer" which by the way =/= Role-Play. But just because you are experiencing my character's combat/hostile side, doesn't mean that you can rightfully draw the conclusion that I do not write long sessions with other more friendly representatives. But then again, I do wonder if you can successfully multiply one by three.
Now as to the matter of your counter-argument here, I see nothing that helps your case.
It's only in the last post you talk -anything- about telling Molly(s) to leave for talking about the Congress and then proceeding to open fire on our vessels. All the other posts is about paying and/or begging for help. You might be right actually about being the grandiose Role-Player that you so rightfully claim to be, you indeed do not participate in the barbaric parts of the game that is known as PvP, which is only suited for lesser-intelligent lifeforms, you actually ask others to do it for you.
But back to the core question: What does this have to do with the referenced material I quoted on Hawk? Nothing.
Your latest post does. And I did indeed check the time-stamp on that - set precisely at: [Today, 02:30 AM]
His post was: [Yesterday, 10:10 PM]
Do you understand the difference between "Today" and "Yesterday"? You claim you write all day (which is your definition of Role-Play) but you seem to have big issues with reading comprehension or just understanding the concept of time in general.
I don't care if you are allies with the damn Nomads. You can't just sit here and post about random gut-feelings based on undisclosed and unattainable information - then tell me your non-existent friend(s) somewhere in-game, said this to you. Without absolutely any proof whatsoever, no screenshots, no chat-logs, no forum referenced material, nothing. Just some random person or people told you about it. Oh, and then of course spinning it around with your high-horse crap about you only Role-Playing and subtly telling me I don't.
Sorry to say, despite your pathetic attempts of trying to use that overplayed angle of attack to build up your argument, you have failed to justify anything whatsoever related to the message-dump in question. Nothing I have heard today sounds reasonable, and well-justified. It is all just vague... how should I put it: Bull- made on the spot and the list of ridiculous explanations (and excuses) continues to grow.
This is almost like hearing someone explain to me how they can justify a 12-year old Order Admiral coming into play. Maybe he also had non-existent friends as well who said he could command an Osiris! "Evidence? Well we Role-Play in-game don't we? Now now, don't be such a PvP-whore."
In-before the;
"Chill-out, you are obviously angry because you managed to unravel the greatest hypocritical post of all times."
