' Wrote:Oh darn it, eventually these OOC threads were bound to show up.
For the record for those in the Kusari Korner, Friday has only just recently returned to Disco. He's been away for awhile and away from GMG| even longer. The other thread and the bump in this thread were done by him outside of the GMG| membership. But when I woke up this morning a couple hours after the two most recent threads got active we were quick to pull him back into GMG|.
Naturally, heheh, he's getting just as busy with any detail he finds questionable in our chat right now as he is being brought up to speed on what's happened in the year or so he's been out of GMG|.
I'd like to also formally say that yes it was me and GMG| that made an aggressive maneouvre against Kusari because it is GMG RP to do so (particularly since they hijacked Hog RP and openly fly Artifacts through our space). I also knew that going through with the aspect of GMG RP that allows us to get fully unlawful with Samura would also, without question, lead to a Kusari invasion of GMG. So I saved it for two long years later after we've already played to our hearts content the other aspects of GMG RP (You remember, killing Hogs, keeping House military like KNF out of out space) all of which also previously brought a fleet to our doorstep as well, heheh.
So yes, the attacks on Samura and the RP attempt to claim Kurile is real. Since current Kusari is making the formal declaration that Samura's backwoods cabin is also Kusari State then it is their right to invade GMG space and call us the invaders (even though we don't actually have to go anywhere, part of the joy why I chose Kurile, there is an oxymoron in it somewhere.). I assure you there is no OORP hatred over the war coming from us and our side. None. Whatever bickering, postering, roster shuffling, secret alliance and OORP stress you seem to think is happening is clearly only happening on the one side of the fence. Almost no one but myself and 4 others are privvy to the OOC talks and discussions I have behind the scenes concerning the next tactic thrown GMG|s way. I keep my members completely seperated from the OOC filth, gunk , garbage that grows from these situations. Instead I copy paste the latest hate PM or Skype talk into my council chat and we discuss how the trivial matter will be dismissed with a casual sweep of my hand.
I'm not a big fan of OOC solutions to in-game ongoing RP problems and yet oddly enough I am such a great lover of forum PvP, go figure :rolleyes: Still despite the open corner waiting to be filled in this square circle I'm of the mindset that it isn't necessary and this new hostility between GMG and the Samura controlled Kusari State (an important significant detail btw for those who pay attention to Vanilla lore and developing cannon lore as opposed to the opinion of the loudest person in a chatroom) should still procede forward. I'll say it openly, going for Kurile is intentional and with purpose, I don't intend to relent. For those with comments like West made in this thread or the other who seems to have the minority opinion that the GMG NPC group shoulda been overun by Rheinland and oughta be overun by Kusari with the mere mention of words: It'll be easier for you to stick to forum PvP (where I will engage you willingly) if you find the in-game results of your military ships getting blown out of GMG space not consistant with your views.
Nope, the ill will is not coming from the GMG. I have always enjoyed playing against the GMG because it is always so much rp and so little oorp nonsense. The anger toward me is coming mainly from Liberty based traders, who start threads like this and complain about thier trade routes.
