Bretonian Protection Squad

[8472]

Greetings to all you Discovery guys, and girls.

I wish to introduce myself before this thread goes further.

My name is Seb, i am 20years old, and now live in Sweden after moving from England to live with my girlfriend. Along with the remaining BPS players, we are all 'Vets' of the game, though somewhat retired. I for one started playing WoW after the death of NiMa.

My main character name is '8472', yes.. as in the Species8472 for any other geeks.;). I am the current 'Rear Admiral' within our clan, the Bretonia Protection Squadron, and have been a loyal member since around June 2005. Although our clan size is some what tiny at the moment, those who remain i have known from back in early 2004 when i first started to play FL. I am sure many old friends are here too, who i have met either via the NiMa or Jolt communities, who i would very much like to get playing with once again.

Anyway..

Regarding the BPS Clan meeting which had been scheduled to take place on Tuesday just gone, above Planet New London. On behalf of myself, and Admiral Chili, i wish to apologies for neither of us turning up. Admiral Chili was unable to be online at all for the majority of the weekend and this week due to personal reasons. As for myself, i had to attend a family BBQ which was organized in the afternoon of Tuesday. Having just moved to Sweden a month ago, i was unable to cancel, which i would not have wished anyway. I would very much like to speak to some of you in game to make up for my failure. Again, my apologies.

Back to the BPS..

It was my initial act of returning to Freelancer and to the Discovery server under [BPS] tag which lead to the reactivation of the BPS clan. We have all missed Freelancer, and after playing it for as long as us, who wouldn't? Although i have not been very active at all on my BPS character in game, i have spent a lot of time in untagged characters drifting along, absorbing the feeling of the server. Many hours have been spent within the various rules and the forums too.. damn, you guys write a LOT. :laugh:

Though we have not had the best of starts, i urge you not to finalize your opinions about us just yet. I know you have the "Day1 on Disco is day1" approach, but i have to disagree. Experience of our scale does give an input into things. We have had years of experience both working together as a team, and as a part of different servers, both RP and PvP. I completely respect that Discovery is an RP server like no other, but with our experience i am more than certain we are capable of adapting and fitting in.

We do not wish to force ourselves upon you, neither do we wish to interrupt your built up RP. However, we do wish to be given a chance to join in. Freelancer is a dieing game which does not have years left in it, it is a well known fact. Surely more new life into any server is a good thing? We may well fall flat on our faces and fail like most of you have predicted, but do we not have the right to at least try? Every faction/clan on the server has been given the chance, all we ask is we have ours too.. and if we fail, nothing has changed for you.

I will communicate with Chili and Discovery and sort out our clan introduction post, as well as organising any other details, as soon as i am able to reach them.

It will be nice to get to talk to some of you at last, and hopefully ease the feelings towards us.
