This is especially irritating coming from you, Lock. I was the one who helped you do missions and get reacquainted when you came back. I was the one who loaned you the money for your minirazor (which was never paid back, I might add). You see me help indies and new people every day yet we dont do anything?
The official factions are supposed to be the leaders of that NPC group. Leading is more than being the first to yell LETS RAID GAMMA!!!11! It basically means you should be an Angel for your group. And we USED to have events; usually every week or so. If we could work them in we would have indies participate so that everyone felt a sense of community (silly word describing this place). We had to stop; every time idiots would crash the event. If we "removed" the problem ship we had to hear temper tantrums and crying on the forums about how we are bad, bad men. We got tired of apologizing to the other side every single time we organized something so we stopped. If we have events now, frankly we try to keep it secretive so both sides have a good time. If you look at our activity list (if its working correctly now) you will see we fly quite a bit. Just because you dont see us, doesnt mean we arent there. Just because we dont want to raid Gamma (again) or blockade Java (again) doesnt mean we dont do anything.
