See the thing is, @Chrysalis, it's the translation of oorp into inrp that you guys seem to be avoiding explaining. We responded to a threat inrp that was done due to oorp actions. First Lerdi contacts me about doing Rp, as a friend, we discuss and agree to a planned course that suited both our groups direction. Then because of a lapse in remembering to pay an agreed sum, we dispelled a member who was a problem maker who then joins Commune, with in a matter of days we get pirated $10m each time or made to drop fwo and then Commune completely cut ties with no reasoning. So as we started this idea to work together as friends, it then turned into something sinister with out an oorp chat about it.
You know full well I lead a faction of new players who barely know how to trade let alone fight, yet as soon as a DSE) logged, you guys logged your liberty vessels and deliberately chased us for the sole purpose of grieving. I can provide one of several documented encounters like that that was submitted in a report. That was just me logging for the first time that week and within half an hour three of your members including Lerdi log in, /return from Conn, log in at Bering, Texas and New York and fly all the way to us in Alberta. We then switch to our Kansas operations and those same three members go south to Kansas.
I didn't realise the sole point of Commune were to log to target DSE). I believe that's the Lane Hackers job. You go on about it being your role play, but how do you justify Nomad Worshippers that log simply to hit Liberty traders, in Liberty. No where in your faction information does it state that the commune's role play is out right piracy, let alone singularly targeting a corporation like it was your arch nemesis. Do you do that because your actual enemies are better at the game than you so you target hapless traders?
Or is it because you're fired up on the hate speech that gets propagated and you all follow like sheep?
This, coupled with the fact you used NPC DSE ships to build your own base and your hate for another DSE group seems to me that you guys don't actually know what it is you want. You want to bad ass pirates or do you want to be a nomad following cult?
So please criticise how I dealt with things, but never once did I go oorp with reactions. Yeah, we were paying a good sum of money for others to shoot you, paying what we were getting pirated by you, we are a filthy rich corporation who can afford that, even more. So what I get out of this is that you're butthurt because my inrp reaction bruised your oorp ego and as such you find it satisfactory to bend the direction of your faction to exact unwarranted revenge.
