Notice: Bretonia and Kusari factions

[beunt]

I just had an insightfull talk with Montezuma about base hugging. When the corsairs (I take them as example since they came tonight) fly four system to face basehuggers they think it's no cool and they're right. When the brets undocks to be strongly overwhelmed and are afraid of a potential gank they think it's no cool and they're right too. More generally, swap the player base of each side, or even put them in completely different faction and past a certain amount of repeated experience they will experience the same.

It's a matter of communication again, especially when no oorp talks come to balance aggressive RP people from any side get mislead. The BAF got the point clear about the gank issue and made considerable efforts to sort the matter out. Camping at a base - I stress that I'm not writing about using it as a weapon for an actual fight willingly triggered - was addressed tonight and shed light on the frustrations both sides face in that situation. Believe me, that particular issue was brand new, and now we can work on that too.

This agreement lost a member tonight but I invite those who remain here to stick on it and work on it better. I don't think we lack for good willed people, but clearly the context we play our factions led us to different theories on the disco experience, and let's say it, different cultures.

I mean it : what is obvious for some people is not for some others.

I think it'll be healthy for each part to explain here his own view on what is right and what is wrong in general, what is justified in PVP with respect to RP, without flame nor any justification about those opinions yet, to pimpoint where the cultures clashes. Something may come out of this or not, but in any case it will help to understand the mindset of the opponent. We're ennemies only on the battlefield after all.

So, I talk too much here and I'll post my opinions later. On a final note I propose to invite leaders of some unofficial factions here too, because the official factions aren't responsible - both in terms of guiltiness and influence - for all of the problems here. If you agree on that - only if you agree - I'd invite Rubber Duck from the Convoy and Fallen Knight from the BRF, and propose your relevant people too.

Well, to who shall I give the mike now ?
