Notice: Bretonia and Kusari factions

[beunt]

Little replies this time and no beliefs regarding pvp, except for the one below. Too bad but well, next time a thread is alive I shall put that in again:)

- If you leave the protection radius of the stationary capital ship, and you engage me in combat, that's fine. But, if I beat you, in the sense that I fight you to the point where you do not want to fight anymore, and you run to the stationary capital...

...Don't sit next to it, DOCK.

Yes, definitely. I've learned that my mates did that when I read your previous posts. I'm not proud of that... Of course they admitted their defeat regarding the rules but not quite regarding their self esteem. I think it is an example of not so good cultural difference and I believe I'd have made the same mistake. Either way, for the sake of good conduct or because of rage, docking is the best thing to do (or leaving the system). The point was addressed in the BAF skype channel, it'll probably need some time for the message to be spread and to fight off the flood in skypes that drows notices such as this.

I think I'll fly as an admiral again for some time now to ensure myself that those points are implemented on the ground. Please don't shoot me too much, I'm so bad at multitasking !

Now about resetting the faction roster :

From my perspective, the only way to completely solve your problems is to very publicly hit the RESET button, or, in other words, kick everyone out of the faction except for the most important, and begin recruitment using different standards. It is very extreme and perhaps unnecessary, and most definitely not my call on whether to do it or not - this is Dieter's faction, and I, having no connection to it whatsoever, don't have a say in it. But, for me, and I am sure, for many others, it would restore a measure of confidence and set the BAF back at point 0.

a situation calling for that would be so critical that the BAF would simply disappear instead I believe. We all have our flaws but we becames flight buddies over time and skyping around when not - rather common in a community -. Kicking everyone out would be a pain, I think the BAF wouldn't survive that. I'd rather leave the faction and play far from there, and let the matter in other hands.

Actually the most active players are new bloods (less than two months), kicking them out and enroll other new bloods will just be a waste of the efforts we've already placed in their training. However after the Ensign Cogs incident the recruitment roster is currently closed and it was decided we'll make them decent red coats before getting more to limit the amount of work.

I'm more worried about intermediate members and old guards like me showing the wrong examples, especially if it's an bad old habit. Hopefully the elders are supposed to be wiser and sensible. I hope they would understand if explained clearly and calmly (I sure would at least). But well, besides this be sure that a lolwutting Commander or above deserves flames even if I hate that, and believe me I'll go after him for the second round in my office.

So well, there won't be a BAF reset anytime soon, for human and logistical reasons, and even if we did the old legend of the BAF powegank will still survive among wicked minded people. We'll rather carry on with what we have, getting better bits after bits, anything but going for another round trip of shame. Not all of it was rigthfully deserved - I swear ! - but I won't be satisfied until I'm convinced we're done things 100% right.

I think we can summary the ganks, base hugging, and various griefs against the BAF with this simple message : "grow a pair". I'm gowing to print that in topic of the BAF skype channel.
