Bretonia vs Rheinland

[Jeremy Hunter]

The reason the freeport was hit was because two SCRA units were wihin the 2k and Dane refused to forgo the policy, even while facing the fleet.

Technically, it was Jayce's fsult.

Reality, it was Zelot.

Dab, I have an honest-to-FSM question for you.

You know this is a game, right?

---

Retired, permanently.

[Lobster]

And then the ONE LNS that was involved joined group AFTER your fleet and BDM were in Omega-3 and BAF| arrived to kick you out.

And attacked a Freeport for no reason.

Those two are actually true.

Sorry about the second one. I will have to take the blame for that. RNC indies just wanted something to shoot. No matter how many times they were ordered to stop, they kept shooting the freeport.:dry:

Least they are giving the Order good publicity.

A single Order cruiser is assisting FP1 despite everything that is going on:cool:

And Np Anne.

I'll get Monty back somehow. >=D



And its still Zelot's fault.

Actually, this now gives me an excuse to provide aid and succor to the Zoners still in residence on FP-1. Hey, Bretonia - my mobile Freeport is heading there (if I can get the damn thing out of the asteroid fields...)

---

Oh god... The end of days... Agmen agreed with me.

Kaz has a point, not to mention the fact that this entire conflict is ridiculous. Bretonia's too proud to admit they're stupid and Rheinland is too stubborn to back down. Honestly, an entire war over a fine?
Silliness.

A way a lone a last a loved a long the riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay,
brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.

Being as i was in my gunboat organizing the defense of FP1 pretty much from the start - heres my perspective.

1 - I had told Dab in the comm board that we would not make ourselves targets by assisting EITHER side in any fashion. which means no ships docking, no ships staging, no nothing. We didnt want to pick a side in what we considered an out-of-control situation.
*shrug*

2 - When i got in game, i said over system several times that no military vessels, rheinland or bretonia, were to close to within 2k of the system. I had a few ships around, a zoner or two, and some merc's who got conscripted on the spot to help defend, and enforce the 2k no fly zone. pretty soon, my little ragtag defense force ballooned with even more defenders - more merc's, more freelancers, more zoners - i think the biggest thing we had was a zoner fearless (ORI3 interestingly)

3 - Rheinland forces pretty much stomped everything in the area, we saw all the blue messages - a couple times a single rheinland ship would get close or pass the freeport, and we would warn it off - they complied.

4 - I warned off at least two red hessians and i think irritated them at the time - this was back when bret still had a fighting chance.

5 - in time, the LNS-Equinox (a Zoner LSC) appeared, which had offered to defend Freeport 1 way back during the Dakun fiasco. since that time, the Equinox has been on standby to help defend FP1 should something happen. instead of taking orbit around the station, the Equinox went to support the Bret forces, i think - once out of 14k, i had no idea with the Equinox did.

6 - two SCRA appeared, a cap ship and a snub, and offered to defend - i had them stay 2k away, but welcomed them none the less, despite being nervous. Once the rheinland ships had destroyed or driven off anything bret in the area, i had the SCRA move closer to help defend.

7 - But, one of my friends pointed out it wasnt a good idea, so i ordered ALL capships to move out past 2k - with the thinking that having caps close to the station wasnt safe. with all the comm chatter, no one listened, and even tho i repeated it, no one seemed to notice.

8 - Before i could get everyone organised and move the caps out, we got rheinland signals moving toward us - they stood off at four or five k away, and began provoking the SCRA - i shold make mention that they moved to surround the station. despite our repeated warnings to them to stay away, they opened fire.

I was hovering over the dome, looking in the direction of map south west (toward the cambridge jumphole) staring down several ships. i saw three mortar shots, which were fired first from the rheinland side - one missed, one hit the station (which, if it was trying to hit the SCRA cap, was very very very off aim), and another hit someone else, that i didnt see. at that point i thrusted forward, saw another two mortar shots, these ones i couldnt see who was getting aimed at or hit. once the shooting from us started, at that point, i didnt know what to do, so i opened up with pulses on a rheinland cruiser.

*shrug* rheinland surrounded us, fired first, fired on the freeport first, and destroyed every single one of us there - from those still flying after i got smoked, i was told they were shelling the freeport. but they didnt stop until every single one of us was dead

And that is what you get for sheltering LNS and SCRA (a battlecruiser no less) as a zoner.

EDIT: Also, we only killed the zoners that fired on us. there were deferentially survivors.

[Jeremy Hunter]

I'd like to point out that the only person on your,side who did,not fire,was,me sadly, due to the fact I didnt,need to frakk over the Order.

Again.

Sorry:(

Fixed - the LNS was a Zoner vessel - Zoner IFF and a Zoner ID - dont blame us because you cant effing read IFF's or use the "scan vessel" button

and oh yeah - i was dead - the only people defending the station were the people shooting, so therefore, you killed everyone defending the station. dont accuse me of lying.
