I myself am also wondering kinda as of what is the purpose of the Phantoms. I just read somewhere in here that your goal is establishing anarchy through terrorist acts. Now I wonder however what you have against doctors? I know you hate them, but why? The Medics are one of the most anarchistic organisations around since we have no actual ranks and we do no belong to any house or anything. As you can read in my siggy: We treat everyone, everywhere.
Thus the question what is the problem with doctors?
Oh and Q_Q at the fact that my Firefly was killed by an Umbrage. All my RP cargo gathered in weeks if not months POOF gone. Oh well, I suppose you gave me something to do... *starts to sing* Always look on the brighter side of life...
I'm sorry but my one and only encounter with you guys was not good.
You see,sometime back,more than 2 weeks I guess,I was still a newb to Multiplayer,so I don't know bout local chat,I got on my Zoner AI Drone(Zoner IFF and yes,you can get an AI drone in a few days of mining)and cuz I'm on my AI,I say 'phantoms detected' and said hello to four of your boys in Ralston Ice field.
Guess what?After only a few lines of 'you've made a terrible mistake',they shot me and I had no idea why.Only after thrusting back to Gettysburg they told me why:I 'announced their presence to the system'
You guys should state the reason, instead of shooting first, maybe even try to get the AI to 'plead for mercy'
And the attack cost about 200k in repairs, so for an act of politeness,I lost 200000 credits,but I guess that you guys may say 'That's life,deal with it'
I guess this is your 'high quality rp'
I had been reading this forum for a year,I have seen some threads about them being ganked,and I pitied them.
After that encounter,I think they deserved it.
/sarcasm on
You guys should be ganked everyday and your repair cost should be 10 million credits per fight.I'm not gonna greet you guys,I'm even gonna insult ya.Since you guys don't know what's politeness.You guys don't deserve your special rp privilige and a bomber in the near future
/sarcasm off
seriously though,please don't just shoot people down cuz they just wanna interact and say hi to you
Sure,you may flame me and use whatever dumb excuse to cover yourself up but this is just my feedback so you can improve.
I think I'll just quote somebody to end my feedback...and talk to myself like a madman...
Quote:Always look on the brighter side of life...
Well,at least I learnt that you should never say 'blablabla detected'...and that rp must come from local chat...

We're Phantoms, it's our roleplay to be dicks. If we went around passing out cookies and cupcakes, who would be scared of us?
High quality roleplay is not judged by quantity, but, as the term "high quality" suggests, the quality of the roleplay.
Quality =/= Quantity. We're not going to cry out our entire life's story every time we go to kill someone. I'm sorry that doesn't meet your standards or expectations, please accept this token of consolation:
Quote:We're Phantoms, it's our roleplay to be dicks.
Okay,so I can expect to get shot for being polite to you *looks at the last word of the quoted sentence*,you said it.
Wait...
Quote:0.0 Be excellent to one another. Consider the people around you. Keep fair play in mind. It's a game and nothing is gained, or lost, save the experience. Credits can be re-earned. Ammunition replenished. If you become infuriated step away. If you make a mistake apologize. If you wish to remain in system after you die, or after someone has moved away, simply ask.
Fair play, a level head and consideration for others.
Look at the first 3 points:
BE EXCELLENT TO ONE ANOTHER.
CONSIDER THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU.
KEEP FAIRPLAY IN MIND.
You think that's fair?
You think that was excellent to me?
You think those phantoms considered about my thoughts?
Oh well,it also said nothing is gained,or lost,save the experience,I'll just re-earn my credits and replenish my shield batteries.

I get your meaning but I didn't ask you to do that

So you guys are still gonna kill people without telling 'em the reason?
So you guys are sure that there is no other rp alternative?
Oh and when you guys talked to me,there was no Quality roleplay,only Quantity roleplay and the 'quantity' was actually a FEW of the SAME WORDS.
Let me try to quote 'em:
P.No1:You have made a terrible mistake
P.No2:A terrible,terrible mistake.
and a bit more of this 'high quality rp'
But I'll accept the shirt, I'll even pay you for delivery:D
I have been involved in many Phantom Encounters, from both sides of the fence.
I have learned something shocking:
A Phantom encounter does not always play out the same way.
Sometimes lives are spared, sometimes not. Sometimes a lot is said, sometimes not.
It depends on the bloodthirstiness of the individual Phantom characters (they do vary), their individual goals, and in large part, the other things that are going on.
PSI-Borg may be the least bloodthirsty. (For now, anyway) He spends most of his time trying to find Mon'star. If you give him intel, or try to, he will leave you alone (though he will insult you). He only kills those who give him a hard time. When he in a group of Phantoms, he's like a little deathpuppy who will obediently kill when told.
But being surprised because a Phantom killed you without saying much is kinda like being surprised by Charles Manson for starting a cult and killing people and wearing a swastika on his head. Kinda the nature of the beast, y'know.
Its a simple equation: Phantoms + Regular law abiding folk = occasional wanton murder. And murderers do not often explain their motives to their victims. Monologues waste time when an LN fleet is trying to find you, after all.

Okay then I'll keep repeating myself until you can clear this up.

Fairplay above roleplay,no?
You guys could have done it OORP,using PM.
Uhm, where does that say "fairplay over roleplay?" I was actually there for this little encounter. You announced our presence to the entire system, effectivly diming us out to the law and in rp ruining our night. We responded by blowing you up. Seems like a legitimate rp response to me. Heres a little factoid for you, almost everytime we kill someone, they think its unfair. You did something in rp that had consequences, how is it unfair to make you stand by the consequences of your actions?

All cargo is RP cargo. How is your cargo any diffrent than the 4000 units of food I bring to Crete on my IND, or the random assortment of foreign pilots on my AFA? All cargo is rp cargo, because everything that happens in game should be in rp.
"Please dont kill me..... I have "RP" cargo"
Yea, sure, right.
Oh, and to why we shouldnt like your "Medics" think about it, you undo all the work that we do, you are the anti us, that is reason enough.
