The two Battleships in Liberty are there for dealing with a Battleship and two Destroyers, and if said don't surface by Friday the operational plans call for the two Battleships to be moved back to Alpha. Read the diplomatic request for short-term docking rights next time, please, it says short term. Bombers are preferable, of course, but we'd need six or seven bombers down in Liberty for the purpose of destroying a battlegroup that size in a reasonable time frame. Hence the battleships. Mobilizing six bombers on a half-hour trip to Liberty is a difficult thing to do; six people is usually the most one can expect to get on at any one time. Hence all it takes are two people in Battleships to deal with the threat. Believe me, I didn't like deploying them either, I have Corsairs to kill, but it was the most expedient and least expensive of the options available.

People continuously tell me "RECRUIT PEOPLE WITH STRONG ARPEE, EPPY!!!11" So, my question is, where the hell are they? Everybody in the squadron scouts for people with the potential for good RP, and you know what? They're really, really hard to find these days. All it takes is to write a couple of paragraphs in a biography and demonstrate a relatively good history and you're in. We can't even find that anymore.

And any time somebody tells us to go raid Gamma instead of hunting down OoRP capital ships, I have a question I'd like them to ask themselves: "Why would the 101st want to fly into a system where they will probably be outnumbered, and up against a force made up of largely (A) Praetorian bombers, which are too effective against fighters, or (B) Capital ships, making our fighter-friendly forces innefective?" And next time you decide to tell us to go raid Gamma instead of hunting down the OoRP capships, ask yourself why we're hunting them down in the first place? If it were me I'd just shoot down a Destroyer or Dreadnought every time I saw one misbehaving or refusing to acknowledge our authority, but instead I spend hours doing this Capship Registration thing to try and present a more user-friendly 101st, so that we can help people learn to RP their caps properly. I mean, certainly, if people want us to we can go back to the pre-Cap-Reg 101st where we just shot the OoRP capships, or even the pre-Eppy 101st where the 101st where never actually seen online...

I have nothing to say to N00bl3t. He is a troll with a grudge and nothing more.

EDIT: Oh, and Unselie, next time you try to publicly denounce me we're going to have trouble.

Quick comment - we thought that Panzer was the Leader, Swift. -Agmen

Which Dreadnought was that?

One of your nine.

The problem with your recruitment is that you aren't making anyone want to join.

Playing as a 101st has to look fun.

"why would a 101st want to run into a system they get outnumbered in"

what are the elite a buncha scardie cats or something now?

get a grip, stop crying, start doing something how you expect people to think your elite and even think people will respect you if your gonna sit back and let others do all the work while you take credit for it?

and dont say crap to unseelie what she said is right and you know it eppy, stop trying to publicly big yourself up for once.

as for "hey're really, really hard to find these days." bull crap, everyone can learn, why dont instead of looking for amazing players from the get go, get some of those independants/new guys to join and TEACH THEM! honestly you teach a new guy he will be more loyal and a better member than any "veteran" player you will ever get

EDIT: and honestly why dont you quit worrying about how people fly theyre ships, THEYRE ships not yours eppy, their persion ship.... and start concentrating on your faction for once honestly you have about as much right as anyone on this server to dictate on how people should rp theyre ship so stop doing it

EDIT: and honestly you expect 2 to 3 paragraphs to get into the 101st, dont you reckon thats a bit to much and asking to much when your faction is plummeting at a very rapid rate? look your not the keepers, your not the phantoms you dont have anywhere near as much interest as those factions do, yet you try and portray them to be something as elite as them, now why dont you think of it this way..... get a few new guys stop the whole 2-3 paragraphs thing, teach them how to roleplay THEN get your 2-3 paragraphs of story. Now is not the time to be picky about who you recruit bud, ive said it many a time.... dont take this hard on yourself but honestly ive tried to help you multiple times and been told no, or ignored everytime and you carry on doing what your doing which is apparently not working, maybe take some other peoples advice for once even if you dont listen to me

@metroid: then your not exactly "fully active" like eppy said which is the point i was making.

it takes a maximum of 3-4 bombers to take down x number of caps. and look on the bright side. you even have access to the inferno, the best weapon you could use to strip shields, and the supernova, the best weapon to hurt hull. if a single bomber and a single fighter can kill 2 cruisers and make a carrier with a cap mk 7 run with no b/b and 5% hull, 4 bombers with said setup will induce more hurt and pwnage than chuck frikin norris with an RPG, facing the germans in WW II.

the registration should be a fun RP method to get more people onto the forums, and RP. not a way to ruthlessly make a person (who didnt incidentally fill in a registration thing) feel like leaving the game, by killing him/her, or banishing him/her everytime he/she logs on.

These people are leaving your faction for others, or even just to fly as independants due to your method of controlling/playing. you know why i left the 101st. sorry to say, the 101st isnt what it used to be, and im rapidly losing the level of respect it commanded before. Unselie is right, and you saying such things, kinda proves many points mentioned here.

This isn't intended to come across as a flame of any type eppy, but your epic stubbornness will obviously see it as such. for that reason, im making it clear, this isnt a flame.

Why do the RoS raid gamma? Because it is within our RP to raid Gamma, it keeps the members interested and, by jove Eppy, its fun. We go in outnumbered, come across either epic numbers of praets or lunchboxes or legates or osiris's and fight and if we get the sh*t shot out of us we laugh. If we win, we have had a good time.

Factions have to have something to do. You can't turn the 101st into a server wide outcast RP police, its not fun and no one wants to be a part of it. Plus I see it as being rather self important. Just concentrate on your own RP and fun, not on other peoples, and let the system (admins and server rules) deal with the rest... Unless of course you regard yourself as above that...

[kingvaillant]

I agree with both Gurjiv and Lon. + jihad (EDIT)

Your methods, just don't work at all, you can see it. Your faction is not that active, and there is more players leaving then those entering the faction.

You are too picky on what you want, you are not a judge, you are a player. This is why I have never been interested in your faction, and also why I prefered the RoS, cuz RoS seems funnier, more enjoyable, and lighter on the workload.

In the LSF, nor me nor sniper ever had the idea to recruit the best PvPers or RPers... Far from that, nearly everyone who has posted something in basic and reasonnable RP has been accepted in. I have never asked my members to train as much as they can to be the elite... No, I just asked them to have fun and respect pre-setted rules.

Alright im new, but im posting my two cents about the 101st.

First: Compliments

I rather enjoy that they have made a capital ship registration, why? It gives people a chance to work on their Capital ships bio's. Crewmanifests and what not, it makes it possible to see who owes a destroyer and how many have been made. (Cause honestly now, if the 101st is the millitary leaders they should know if their shipyards built one and how it got out of there. I mean they are quite big, and those are the dessies, i think you can understand why they keep tabs on the Battleships and dreads...)
Honestly, i belive Capital ship registration is a GLORIUS thing. Not only cause they can control who buys one and whos stolen one, but in a Roleplay sense aswell.

Secondly i must say that 101st was the first Faction i considered joining, why; Cause they had a good idea, a good RP and ive seen that alot of people actually wrote bios about themselfs. Their recruitment Topic was filled, and their leader seamed good at his job.

The one player i have Rped alot with is: Raul. And when i say alot i mean... Sometimes..

Secondly: Recomendations and criticisms (Yes i will critice a little if that's ok)

The activity: *sigh* Ive seen one active members, the rest have logged in.. And when i just ahd time to find their name in the chat window they log of.. Yeah this is a problem, but it isnt a unsolvable one.
Ways to make people be more active:
Events
Move outside Alpha from time to time.
Check with your enemies (Corsair factions) if they are up for some skirmishing.
And lastly, my favorite. Find out where the players live, visit them and mind wash them to activity!!


Well, that's it. I realy hope that the 101st will get more active cause honestly i want more loyal outcasts online. (Erh not saying the RoS, SOB arent loyal. But hey, the 101st is the "leaders";))

PS. It's not hard to write a story, it doesnt even have to be boring. Just try.

Thanks //J

Well you should check your recruitment topic Epyon, because my near page long application has been sitting there for two weeks. Not claiming to be the master of roleplay or anything, but if you want more than what I've done, which is post a decent backstory and reasoning for joining, then you'll be waiting a long time for members. I realise you've had to put up with all this stick, particularly in this topic, but if you are that desperate for members surely you could come to a decision on an applicant within two weeks?
