I had the misfortune of running into several Phantoms last night. It's the third time it's happened ever on this server and thats a long time. The first time was awful (sorry, but it was), the second was as close as I like to get to them and the third was actually good fun, despite me typing with sausages for fingers so well done to them.
Thats a survival rate of 2-1 so don't say all they do is pew pew. The RP last night was entertaining, funny in parts and I survived, possibly because of my part in it. Well done to them.

But on the upside, when we do need new people, we will go to the recruitment thread, it is left open for a reason.
And when we do go to the recruitment thread, just because we didn't talk to you right away doesn't mean that we didn't put you on some kind of "maybe" list. It's kind of like the Admin Recruitment (not to liken us to the admins; we're not anything close to being as selective as them). We'll look at it to see who is interested, and even though we might not talk to you right away, we might pm you at a later date.

Well, honestly, it's more of a question of "Why would we shoot at each other?". The Blood Dragons have a common interest in the Kusari Government dissolving, right? The Blood Dragons have a common interest in shooting up Samura, right? We really just do the same things in Kusari. Why even bother shooting each other? When we see each other, lets both just wave and get on with our lives or collaborate if it ends up we are doing the same exact things.
Really, the stance we take towards each other is up to your side. If it were completely up to us, we'd stay the course at neutral. I don't really see any reason for what we've got goin' now to change.
And the positive feedback is appreciated. Thank you. :D

Indeed, if you consider what is known of the Phantoms (which really isn't much), their numbers are small because honestly... a huge presence would probably nullify much of the awe, dread, whatever. In my humble opinion...*** Phantom encounters would more likely be sparse but memorable to both parties. Large engagements... sure, but again, sparse and memorable. Phantoms need to be cloaked in mystery.
This not a thread for setting up diplomatic relationships, especially on the say of someone who doesn't have
the power to do that.
This is a feedback thread, nothing more, and it would be appreciated if it stayed that way please.
Some say he is a proud member of: "The most paranoid group of people in the Community."
What the hell guys? I gave my feedback, 'cause that's what Hoodlum said i should do. And because you don't like it, you delete it? Wow.. just wow. That's even more disappointing. You should use feedback to your advantage, to improve! Not to ignore it!
It's just about as much metagaming as a Golden Chrysanthemum meeting an Outcast in Honshu and then them paling around. I'm not sure how us walking around with people who are pretty much our buddies can be metagaming. Only problem which makes it difficult is that the Corsair has to be within the rules in having demanded money from the traders the group kills. As long as both players keep within the rules, there's no reason not to pal around. Same thing with us and Liberty Rogues, Xenos, and the lot.
EDIT: Also, we're actually talking about your post in the chat, DRV...

Had a really great time with you guys (and you know who), I thought I was sure-shot dead, like that stupid Firefly pilot, but I guess talking to the terrorists pays off as I survived with my life.
You really showed me from a non-Phantom perspective how well the Phantoms can work, and work well. I had a great time, and thank you. I'd be pissed that you lost me around 10 Million but I'd say that encounter was worth every cent.
Tales will be told as promised, exaggerated where possible if needed.
