[NEMP Event] Purple Rain

[Vendetta]

Is that why you have your entire faction on dual razor cau6 osc shuttles?

Don't forget the excessive cruiser dumping. Standards stopped applying the moment it became evident they weren't interested in equal balance or fair play. The numbers excuse is bull.

I'm sure all of you have heard this one before:

Treat others how you want to be treated.

As someone who has flown all sorts of random things in Bering on either side of the conflict in the last few days, both sides have been trying their hardest to win engagements - not to make them enjoyable for the other side. It's a little ironic to see people who are happily siccing numerous gunboats, cruisers and snubs on the first VHF they see undocking from Pacifica whine about "fair play".

You won't get good PvP interactions if you're trying your hardest yourself to make your enemy miserable whenever possible.

Is that why you also flew a cau6 dual mr osc shuttle?

Maybe he's a masochist.

You weren't there from the start. Exactly what you've said is how we've been handling this. We tried fair balance, and even got one or two decent fights from it. Unfortunately people would just as soon send nine dudes in shuttles and cruisers after one guy.

Fair play went out the window the moment they started behaving the way they do.

I had to google what this term meant and I regret it.

I logged in one of the first days of the event. I hadn't played in something like three years. I undocked a shared Unioner Arbeiter from Pacifica. There were something like twelve ships within 1K of the base with their /setmessages ready. I got missile spammed to death in about 60 seconds.

I honestly didn't mind. At some point you've played this game enough, and have been blued enough, to stop caring about dying. Hell, the respawn timer is one hour (at most) nowadays, how can anyone care?

However, if that's your first experience with the PvP ethics in the event, I think it's understandable if you're a little bit cynical about the involved players' attitudes towards fair play.

Want my honest assessment? Unioners have been figuring out ways to log in enough (of the right ships) recently and now you're all a little bit upset that you're losing again instead of dumpstering the opposition. It makes you look a little silly.

It's almost as if people were not playing fair and fun when there are stakes.

People who fly caps, gunboats, and SHFs deserve to burned alive.

Change my mind.
