Aye... I don't want my feedback getting trolled. Now, on a more serious note I will tell people to tone it down a little bit, but...
Well, here's the thing about the old DHC: they caught on what was going on really, really quickly - and hence did all in their power so that we wouldn't catch them in the first place. Or better yet, always had a couple of escorts sitting by Solarius or the o-54 jh, so that when we would try to get to the miners we would get CDed or conveniently attacked and their miners would be able to escape. It made it work for them and pushed us to be more creative in setting traps for them than just the tried and true 1 gunboat exiting o-54 that can catch all sunsurfers with ease. The DHC also bribed us with a lump sum of money when they needed a respite, and that worked too. But yea as far as I am aware playing as Daumann is supposed to be real hardcore in Omega-11, hence why uncut diamonds bring in (or at least should) a very good profit. There have been at least a few Daumann mining groups in our time who have made it their core activity to try to actively mine on the edge of the razor so to say, using any and all dirty tricks to escape from us when we would inevitably rush them, and actually asking us why we didn't keep rushing them whenever there was a brief respite. Or going out of their way to attack our own miners for payback, which was even better. That was then, it fits our RP perfectly to give Daumann complete hell in Omega-11 so we go ahead and do just that hoping that they will play along. And by playing along I mean it takes two sides to do unconventional RP.
But that's my take on it. I'll just say, I hate ruining other people's fun so I will be extremely disappointed if you disagree with this notion, and if you do disagree then I will advise my faction members to keep the pressure down and hopefully they will...
' Wrote:I can only commend [RHA]Klaus.Strausburg for the RP today. His interaction with my Bowex ship was exemplary and the later argument I took part in between himself and the RM officer, amusing.
If others will be following in his lead, I look forward to further Bowex/RHA encounters.
Oh, and before I forget, the thing about the Neo Vikings. They blew certain deals between certain people wide open to the public. Which isn't a good thing. It'd be nice if you could have a word with them and get them to use phrasing that's less incriminating for one party in particular.;)
Despite how I am over a year late on replying to this, and no longer part of RHA, I feel happy that someone thinks I can RP.
Had a bit of a run-in with a couple RHA pilots last night. Nice folks. I do however have an issue I'd like to raise regarding the content of the encounter. I'll post the chatlog, which has been edited slightly for grammar and flow but remains identical in content.
Quote:[RHA]RHGB-Leopard.II: So mein her I heard a rumour about Daumman/ OSI business
[RHA]RHGB-Leopard.II: Is that real?
[RHA]RHGB-Leopard.II: I hope not.
OSI-Gauntlet: A rumor? And how might you have heard such a rumor?
[RHA]RHGB-Leopard.II: From junkers...
[RHA]Wirbelwind: Ja, from junkers!
OSI-Gauntlet: Far be it from me to accuse a junker of outright lying, but it'd probably be best if you took a Junker's word with a grain of salt
[RHA]RHGB-Leopard.II: Well. you know . we won't shot peacefull zoners.. but if you working with Daumann...
[RHA]RHGB-Leopard.II: You make yourself hostile to us.
[RHA]RHGB-Leopard.II: Gut mein her. thats all what I wanted to know
[RHA]RHGB-Leopard.II: Danke for your time
Now, while the strong-arm routine was neat, I'd appreciate a little justification for a member of the RHA knowing about the deal. I'm all for roleplay, but I doubt any RHA would've heard the news from a Junker, if you catch my drift.
Sure, I can explain that. Basically, if you visit the thread offering the Daumann contract, it has been transmitted sirius wide. The assumption must then be that that channel is available publicly to anyone who would stumble upon it. I have posted a message dump post regarding this.
Now if Daumann contacted you and other companies privately about this, it would indeed not be possible for us to know about this unless perhaps some Daumann or OSI spilled his tongue. However all Daumann responses in that thread were specifically destined as Sirius wide so we can only assume the whole channel was made public.
Addendum: I expect hell from the RHA if we get the contract, y'hear? Do you know how terribly dull it is when the closest thing you have to an enemy is more Zoners? Keep our guys on their toes, they've got life too easy.
A bit of backstory. 3 Wilde, 1 Wraith, 1 Berg, 1 Mjolnir, were chilling in New Berlin, blowing up random Zoner gunboats.
A RHA fighter comes in, we tell it to leave, it doesn't, shooting ensues. I notice that he has a friend coming to help him, so in accordance with our "not get bogged down in big group fights", and "not explode" policies, we cruise away, because he doesn't have a CD. As we're cruising, he drops this line.
