I see some very encouraging posts about our potential role here on Discovery server.
Like the idea's mentioned about our role being adapted to a unit specialising in certain ZOI and combating certain factions.
Remember that we are familiar with players here from other servers and even a clan here (OPG) so it would be great if we could be accepted gradually and take on certain stances and relations in that way. Keep up these comments and idea's and I am very confident we can come to an arrangement with existing factions, while offering second characters to BPA and QCO until we get involved more.
At the same time I have also been very discouraged by some comments from people. Although Discovery remains the most popular server at present, and that should be respected along with the role play philiosophy here, it is not excuse to see bad attitiude from people.
Attitudes like 'Pah, no room for any more Bretonia military factions here..! Pfft' or ' Who the hell do they think they are! Barging in and disrupting our way...! '
Ok, I might be assuming the worst with one or two of you, but sometimes I have to.
We may be a clan with a long and winding history, but I can give you my assurance we always follow server rules as much as we can, admit mistakes when we make them and help contribute to server role play.
With regard to the missed meeting I apologise to all parties who attended and were 'stood up' :$ I had to take care of a friend in need at the time, but I don't really want to go into it here, this is a gaming forum.
A little more about me... I am Mat, 27 from Scotland. I have played Freelancer since it's early days too and have contributed mainly to Jolt (where BPS was originally founded by myself and K3) and the NightMare (NiMa) servers. The latter I was server admin and head modder until server closure recently, so I have a lot of experience with the game in general and in dealing with online issues.
You will see me online more in an advisory role to BPS as a somewhat ancient Admiral, playing where I can to make a positive difference.
We will try to arrange the neccessary meetings and formalities as they come. So I am in no rush to make a faction creation request anyway, not until I am confident and sure in the direction the clan is going on Discovery first. I urge those of you who are wary of BPS not to worry.
