Just to satisfy the basic needs of my arguementative nature this morning...
In your first arguement in the current debate, Axis, I can't see any unquestionable evidence that Protege did indeed use the playerlist to look for interaction and did not just choose a certain bottleneck of which he has a lot of past experience of meeting piracy targets there.
Okay, seemingly he admitted to it, but so were you to using the playerlist, both of you knew of the other, so it's basically both of your... "fault" (?) that the interaction happened.
The AFK piracy arguement is a tiny bit shaky, I just can't imagine somebody being AFK and successfully pirating at the same time. You know, those three letters literally mean Away From Keyboard.
O'Rhu are Order, Brose are Outcasts. What did you expect? It's far not the worst what you've got, as Loki said, you'd got worse from his Cross character (and god forbid you unleashing your wrath upon their feedback thread when it happens). Hope for the best but expect the worst and you'll have far more positive surprises and joy in your life as well as in your play than negative ones and sour taste left in your mouth.
Lastly, massive amounts of sodium-chloride filling your posts is bad in itself, theatrical moves like "I'm Santa, and you've been a bad boy so here is your dedicated lump of coal" just make it worse, like attention whoring wouldn't be high enough without it. Also, arbitrary definitions of good and bad are toxic as it's just a matter of opinion depicted as fact. Tone it down, try to stay a bit more objective, or at least try to look more like that (maybe eat a sandwich between the encounter and the feedback), and the difference between your posting styles will clearly be visible. Believe me, you'll retain more of your credence if you keep NaCl, theatrical elements and arbitrary "this is good, that is bad" things out of your posts.
While I agree on both Axis and your posts, I do not think abusing Player List should be acceptable for both abuser and abused one in a longer run - check my arguments in previous post. Sooner or later it may end up in ooRP hate, because - this is my impression - Bloodrose logs, kills/pirates, logs off. I can understand argument that one may have no time once or twice, so he or she logs off.
But seeing that as a (seemingly accepted!) standard is pretty bad.
It all depends on what you consider abuse and what you don't. Despite how Axis tried to describe the situation I feel it was more the outcome of the interaction causing him grief than the involvement of the playerlist, and that's also what I sense from your post. Wow, an outcast faction pirates non-allied/non-friendly transports, is it really something unexpected?
That's why I pointed out you are right on this matter, a bit. But on the other hand, some players use Player List not for interaction, but purely for getting their easy blues.
Piracy is interaction even if it does lead to blues on occasion. Like I said, 5 million isn't even a ridiculous demand for catching an enemy faction carrying base supplies so I hardly see it as going for easy blues. On top of this its not like the bloodrose was only online for the o'rhu, I was with them for another piracy encounter before I had to leave for a few minutes due to real life. Pretty sure I wasn't even gone 10 mins before I came back and saw this feedback so the whole afking at the jumphole for over ten minutes seems overblown as well. I get you have some bad blood between exiles and bloodrose fluffyball and I understand but I am just arguing about this encounter and also what I have noticed is a common habit of the O'rhu calling people metagamers after getting a hostile encounter with a faction.
@Loki557 I was refering to overall experience with Bloodrose as an indie player, not as official faction player. I have never said anything about Exiles and I don't like the fact you want to get 343 involved into that.
But as I said, I'm out of this nonsense. It leads nowhere.
While the whole issue with the forums roll back has caused many articles of RP and many other things to go missing, I am taking the time now to officialy state that the Bloodrose Syndicate has disbanded. The whole ordeal that brought about this desision started way back at the end of July when I first realised certain members needed removing and doing so went against my character and morals. It was a blow to my drive to play this great game and as such, my leadership of the faction never truly took hold.
All Bloodrose Syndicate assets that belong to the members of the syndicate (If any of their assets still exist ingame) are to be kept by their respective owners. The role play reasoning behind the Syndicates disbanding has been decided to be Marissa 'Rise' Bloodrose falling into insanity at the loss of her wife, Angel Bloodrose, thus leading to the syndicate fraying before eventualy disbanding completely.
Any outstanding RP with the Syndicate, if there was any, will need to be run by myself, Chrono, or by Skorak.
We thank all of you whom encountered the syndicate in space and wish you all luck in the future.
