That's how official faction bids go.:sleep:

Well, IC got voted in less than 3 months and BDM was pretty much the same if memory serves... I better go double check tho.

Edit: I was correct first time.

The GRN| has given full auth to Reavers to use GRN guns, for as long as they work for us.
edit : Anywhere they want to use them, not just in Gallia.

That's not on you to decide though, if the rules state otherwise.
It's like saying you approved them to use GRN Battleships even though their ID's don't allow them to fly those.

However, I am not supportive on this restriction. I think Gallic tech should be usable outside Gallia.
Kusari ships are much more op and they are not restricted, I don't see any reason to restrict Gallic stuff (sun)

It is every Corsair's responsibility to die a beautiful death in defense of Crete, regardless of how OORP or how capwhoring the opposition is. Launch your fighter, joust the battlecruisers and die a beautiful death. Then, drink it down in the bar.

If we did it it's because we could do it. Gallic tech will not be freely usable outside of Gallia due to RP reasons.
And Servals are going to ruin the day of a lot of people, but I'm indeed eager to see how it's going to work against KNF, it could prove to give interesting fights !

How come its been 4 months + 20 days and still no admin vote? :unsure:

The admins did vote after 3 months, but we were low on activity at the time (thanks, real life!), so they gave us a 30 day grace. It's been a month and twenty since we were given that notice and our activity has significantly increased. If anything, I imagine the admins are still discussing the matter. We've proved to be an interesting kettle of fish as factions go.

[Alley]

Ok small news, from what I heard the reaver tech permission on GRN guns was a ninja edit from the previous leader that left, a ninja edit that has been done without consulting the rest of the GRN HC. We'll inform the reavers if there's any change soon.

I guess my only feedback would be this: could you try to be more discriminating in your targets, as players? I understand and appreciate the fact that you get paid a lot to hunt BMM miners and the BPA, making it very good RP for you to do so. However, there is the issue that both of these factions have become very demoralised about playing these groups as players because whenever they log on, they immediately get attacked and wiped out by Reavers.

Both of these groups are very small factions, BMM in particular. BMM's only operation it can effectively undertake at the moment is Dublin, in which they are repeatedly attacked by Reavers docked on the Hood and Mollys from Arranmore. You are going to slowly but surely strangle these groups to death if you don't allow them to do what they signed up for occasionally. BMM isn't a faction of combat aces - it's miners.

Now, when people don't want to log in any more because they'll only be involuntarily logged out for 4 hours a few minutes later anyway, I see an issue. If you're trying to depopulate an area of certain factions (which to be fair, is the inRP justification for bounties) then fair enough, but that does seem to somewhat harshly juxtapose with Bacon's statement on the last page about how you're trying to 'make the sector feel alive and well'.

Having thick skin about dying in a video game is one thing - not being able to play the video game because you're perpetually attacked and destroyed is another.

EDIT: Just feel I should note, this is my own opinion and not on behalf of the factions I mentioned.

EDIT2: I suppose on the upside, if you're capable of potentially eliminating two player factions, that should prove to the admins that you're active, at the very least. :D

I'll agree with Jammi. Certain Bretonia players are very demoralized too (I won't call the names).

Yet, I'm up for sports and want to see as OP ships as possible. Preferably Black Widow Sabres or Black Dragons. At least fighting them is quite interesting. Unfortunately I think I'm alone with such opinion.

[Daedric]

I'm going to be honest and frank and state my opinion, I'm not going to sugar coat it. This is my opinion and how I act when I am Reaving.

BMM can claim to be demoralized all they want, I know four ex BMM members who left due to the factions current leadership, all of them say that BMM is dieing due to its current leadership. All four of them. I've seen activity logs from one of them and that person made up the bulk of BMM's activity last month. That person never once came to be complaining about the Reavers. Not once.

I'm sure getting blown up sucks. I hate getting blown up on my miner and my trader. What I suggest is for the BMM to do what other factions do when they encounter pirates or mercenaries. Either hire security, or run more of your own security. It might not always save your mining operation, but it isn't going to hurt. You can only get better at PvP by doing PvP. There is always the aspect of bribing us not to shoot you. I promise you, if you offer my character the right amount of money, I'll take it and walk.

As for actually killing you? I've always operated in the following fashion: If you role play with me, don't rule lawyer me, and don't whine. I'll let you continue mining after I kill you, hell I'll even sit with your dropped ore and let you have it. All that you have to do is ask. Do the other Reavers do that? I dunno. I won't speak for them.

I'm not trying to be a arse or a dick about it, but claiming that we are killing two factions is absurd. Those factions need to look at themsevles before they blame others for their lack of activity (Not saying they are blaming us). Being creative inRP also helps, every BMM I ran into insulted my character inRP was was gungho about fighting. None of them tried to talk their way out of the ensueing fight. I can't say much about the BPA, in all my time as a Reaver, I've only seen one of them. One.

@ Chopper

Read the Tech Chart. The Merc ID is white cell to the GRN. Said white cell doesn't carry any ZoI restrictions. We are free to use GRN weapons, Sirius wide until an Admins says otherwise. Once an Admin says otherwise, I promise you my GRN equiped Sabre will remain in the Taus (Easy promise to fulfill as it already stays there).

Oh hells hells hells.

Weird that the BMM officials ain't here to talk about it, since it seems it concerns them primarily.
But i'll nudge Dart to come here and share his point of view after our next duel.

Yeah. Duel.

Me and him, as some more BMM, go mano a mano on a sparring match ever once in a while, when i go hunt for them.
Sometimes i win, sometimes i loose.
After that, he already knows he can continue his mining operation, since he asked several times and i always said yes.

So.. Please, let the head of the BMM talk first about said affair and business, then we can reach whatever conclusions.

And /signed at Daedric. I also sit around the ore for my target to collect after being blown up.
