Wat. What are you on about. The FAQ says we're bad guys and act goody-goo as a cover on comms and the like. What is it with people and being incapable of taking what they read inRP.
Keep Skype to Skype, Golly and I both like to make threats to each other. Whether we both enforce them or not is a different matter (we're both fairly lazy) as I joked to you minutes later after that conversation. I've got a fair few people who share membership with Order|. It'd be moronic for me to "hunt them everywhere". And you know what Golly said that one time which made me react the way I did. If I posted the personal attack he made against me here I could get banned. So don't try and White Knight the situation on his behalf. I don't really understand why you're bringing months old drama up again though.
I think attacking the Freeport is one of the best things we've ever done. It made the server more active than it's been in years and created events to keep the activity flowing (and the currently Liberty events aren't even repeating the same success). I knew what I was doing, although I couldn't have expected the activity that would follow. You're exaggerating that Laz "screamed" at me on Teamspeak not to attack the Freeport. He mumbled slightly, showing his disposition to the notion, but eventually got fully into it and had a fun time (everyone has seen the screenshot of the Athena declaring the Freeport is about to get torched). I didn't attack it to "prove a point", there was no point to prove, I did it to meet my roleplay. I have no regrets.
I know people have stuff to say about Core. Let them come. I am a controversial person, but I am confident my faction is a positive force for the community and the mod itself. Still, I would love to hear any grievances as Core is not perfect and there are always areas that can be improved on. What isn't positive is this continuous oorp commentary on every single thing we do.
I'm not sure what the real motivation of your post here is. I had pretty much forgotten about things once again and had just moved on. I don't mind that Golly doesn't want to sit and talk it's really not a huge issue. There's other people we can both respectively go to. But you've gone out of your way to bring up the subject again, and once again only pandering to Golański's viewpoint. For what purpose? I just don't really care at this point, and I suspect neither does he. Let's just leave it at that. That's easier for all parties.

And with that let's just glorify ZA and everything else which created activity no matter what quality roleplay coated (or didn't coat) it or how sensible decisions were made. Because who cares about quality in this community, really? Who wants to make sense?
I understand some Zoner players are butthurt that they didn't get the 'down with Core!' outcome they wanted from this, but please let's not make ZA comparisons when they evidently have no place here.

I think it is not a good analogy. Firstly, it is a bit wrong to demand book-grade RP from players to elaborate their actions. Even if people do it, how many of you have actually read it entirely from beginning to the end? Core does RP, and their actions could be taken iRP quite well (besides Core elaborates its RP with all those communications and RP posts which I am not really into) provided that one has no predjudice towards the players behind the characters. People break own immersion and fall out of the RP when something isn't going as expected, and in this case it is not Core's fault but a fault of those who take game way too personal. This is natural for those, who can not separate these two worlds.
iRP actions can not ruin someone's RP. What are those actions in the world of RP is absolutely unrelated question.

The past events didn't solely cause only activity though. We've all seen the Limes Guy meme.
Lyth dont act like you planned to get the result from attacking the Freeport.
You were pretty unhappy with the result actually and people were telling you to take the rp consequences.
You say it is for rp and then you attack others for doing rp with you.

Please put some truth in your statements.
At first it seemed like people were going to pile on us because we had naysayers (some of whom have posted in this thread funnily enough) circlejerking and saying that "you reap what you sow!" and "Core is going to get ganked/destroyed!" blah blah blah blah. But against my expectations, the community pooled together and everyone, Core or otherwise, was able to enjoy the week of events we had:
(05-05-2016, 09:51 PM)The Core Wrote: Firstly the Core| would like to say thank you to the community for getting involved with this event and we are delighted that we have been blessed to of been a conduit for making the server, the mod, the game and the forums the most active it's been in months. Maybe even years. Whilst there have been ID, RP and rule violations coming out the wazoo for both sides, the ooRP drama has been very minimal. It's decreased hugely from the dangerous levels it was at the beginning. And generally speaking both sides have been able to have a lot of fun both PvP wise and RP wise. We're looking forward to all the future roleplay and the like that's going to follow. Also wow @SeaFalcon's video is amazing and should definitely be put on the moddb. We're looking forward to making next week fun. Also one thing the community could really help with is making Core indies to help balance the sides.
What was really cool about this event(s) though is that it created ripples elsewhere in Sirius. Core gets yelled at by IMG and CR, then both the Kusari Exiles and the GRN start clamping down on people trying to purchase those supplies in the Taus. It's almost like this single instance is starting to head towards some sort of inter-galactic Sirian war.
Also for this 48 hour cooldown period can you unban Lyth please? Or at least probate and limit him to just using The Core account for the sake of roleplay for those 48 hours and nothing else. Would help hugely for ensuring roleplay stuff can get done.
Generally, oorply Core| has come off pretty okay with the roleplay consequences. I've already been brainstorming events and future roleplay in light of the Delta Drama, and I look forward to when the admins turn their attention back to the region so I can roll all of that out.
Otherwise though, it seems there's still a lot of QQ from the Zoner side still. To the point that they're so insecure that they feel the need to parody the Zoner Registry thread with a flood-tier Core Registry thread. I was in all honestly completely suprised that it was actually posted in a roleplay section. The childlike bitterness really does look like it's consuming the Zoner side still whilst the rest of the community has pretty much moved on.
Also it'd do a lot of good if you try to read the relevant post(s)/thread(s) before posting.

Do you mean the part where you denied the idea of Zoners having any significance in the Omicrons and antagonizing them had little to no effect on Core's economy?
