keeper engagement notices

[darthbeck]

the ganking is not the issue. it was a small comment about the ammount of ships they decided to attack me with. (at least two, most likely three, against a bomber with no regens, and a load of other wilde/keepers sitting right there.).


and i'm gonna go to bed now. dont really feel like arguing now.

Its ganking when you have no chance to escape and there are 2+ players.

Of course, I would have actually had a chance be there that one bomber.

But no.

Had to ruin it.

ha..hahha....hahaha... no seriously, i'm laughing at this.

Do you realize that when more than one keeper logs on, half the server gathers a lolfleet to come after them? Back when I was still using a nomad morph / trial ID (with no weapons, mind you), I watched three keepers and one other armed morph end up fighting over a dozen ships, most of them capships, in delta.

Sorry you got punked, you should've said something if you didnt want to fight (or just ran, and not participated), I dont even know who your character was in that whole mess tonight. Still, fact remains... keepers get ganked every time we log on, so you dont have much to complain about really.

Even with tonight's fight... we had 3 bombers (2 keeper bombers, one wilde bomber), a wilde gunboat, and one wilde fighter (with one more fighter joining in at the end of the whole ordeal). We were attacked by two gunships, a battlecruiser, a destroyer, four bombers to my count, and one fighter. Oh, and a zoner juggernaut, lets not forget that one.

I just dont see what he's complaining about, no ganking occurred tonight, at least from the keeper side. Hell, we had a battleship (juggernaut, at that) on us for over half an hour until we finally killed all his buddies and he ran back to the freeport =P

Well, Its only some keepers who are like that, most of them are not.

George Carlin mode on.

You know, I gotta love this sh`t. Wonder why?

Well, firstly I kinda like when people make this threads. Cause it's fun when people are expecting some kind of predefined engagement notice, linear and straight-forward, the only form they can actually comprehend. Deviate a bit and *snap* they're out, they don't get it. Somehow, some day that whole role-play prelude before good old fashioned brawling became replaced with a mundane single word. So you repeat it like a damn robots, mindlessly, like some preset taunt speech from first person shooters around. And what happens when someone says something else? Your automated role-play program halts, it just falls out of normal loop as it hastily trying to find out that given message in it's memory bank. Is this what Discovery about? Predefined engagement notices, huh? You gotta be out of your mind! Get the hell out.

Yeah.



You gotta have standards above that "engaging" word crap, you know. Not our damn job to bring it to your level of understanding. Last time I checked they're aliens!

Even a simple act of role-playing is now rigidly rule-wrapped by those rules worshipers. Yeah, go to admins, I'm guaranteed to have a good few minutes of laughter enjoying their reply to you.

It's all bullsh`t and it's bad for ya.

If you think I'm gonna bend over to that bullsh`t - think again. I've been role-playing nomads for over two years (!), more than anyone else here, think I'm gonna change that cause some of you suddenly dropped braindead with those rules? Yeah... right... *knock-knock* on the wooden desk.

George Carlin mode off.

p.s. I have low tolerance for that stupid dumb bullsh`t. So one group saying "we want more puzzles, we want more roleplay" another group saying "we want dumbed down role-play we can understand"... How can you say what you want me to do if you don't even know what you want! And, hey, how about I decide for myself what I'm going to do, like I've always been doing and not planning to change? I think you got enough things to worry about than bothering me with that pretentious crap.

As far as I know Keepers only attack you if you are:

- a threat to them
- a threat to Outcasts
- a threat to Arthur Dgahr
- in their systems

If you are engaged, then it is your fault.

Ok folks, as a keeper, I'm going to ask you some questions. In a slightly more calm tone than yuri.

Do you want to see a nomad saying " ***..*we*..will..'kill'..*you*..now..*ENAGAGUNBG!!!1*..*** " ?

That's a nice easy notice to understand isn't it... Makes everything very clear. Easily predictable, nothing cryptic, nothing confusing. It's funny y'know, because normally what happens to me, is I spend ten minutes attempting to create some roleplay connection with an individual, for them to respond with silence and gunfire. It's so much fun when that happens.
I half expect you're the type who did the following...

*Keeper arrives and attempts some roleplay with you*
*You give them silence*
*Keeper continues roleplay knowing that he'll get silence in return for the 8th time today*
*silence*
*Keeper's roleplay becomes hostile, at least in part due to you being frustratingly silent*
*Silence*
*Keeper fires a few shots into your shield, hoping that perhaps it will wake you up*
"ENGAGUGBUIHDFIKJGZSF" *pewpew*

We get that every god damned day. About one in every four people we attempt to talk to are like that, another two out of every four just cut the silence and get straight down with the gunfire, and only about a quarter of people on the server actually take any time to see what we're doing at all, then only a small percentage of thsoe actually engage i any roleplay with us.

So... Keeper engagement notices are lacking? Try some god damned responce is lacking from 90% of the server's population. I think only once over the last week has my keeper roleplay been met with anything other than gunfire, and that was by an indie battlecruiser in new york.

You say you don't want to go to the admins about it yet you're more than willing to attempt to drag a faction's name through the mud. That's nice.

Thank you Beck, we keepers love you too. Want a hug?
