All my interactions from now on, with any LR tagged ship, are going to start & end with "//I refuse to interact with trolls". That wasn't funny. When a ship is named <faction>.<name>.<last name> and you start by asking questions like "what's your name" or "what's a docking module" expect the quality of the RP to quickly go downhill from there. We can discuss it further privately.
I went over the logs once more and, quite frankly, the encounter we had with you was so bizarre that I cannot even start explaining it properly. So instead I will do so in limerick!
The incident begins with the Rogues,
Always scheming for money, those toads.
So the Tinkers were Chosen,
In the wast target Ocean
For they liked to transport large Loads.
So we came up to those Tinkers and said
"Hey, you'all wanna stay not-dead?
Start working with us,
Just make sure there's no fus,
And we'll make sure your breakfast ain't led."
And that offer they would embrace,
As there are already dangers in space.
So the Tinkers Replied
"Hey boys, it's alright,
As long as we don't get shot in the face."
So our story continues with a newbie,
Whose day would now become a doozie,
When he encountered my boy,
Who he soon started to annoy,
As he was stuck with base supply duty.
Sadly we couldn't give less of a crap,
Since we knew how he needed to act,
For all Tinkers paid Tribute
Which now was an Issue
Because the guy was about to snap.
He failed to answer our interrogation,
As he mentioned modules and their station,
For all we wanted to know,
Was he making them for our Foe
So we promptly removed his Engines.
And now we found ourselves in the present,
Where I have all right to tell you to get bent.
For YOU were out of loop
Of the dealings of your group
So stop being such a whiny peasant.

Will have to wait until I get a chance to run around home, so I can pull up the logs though.
Put some ice on the sore area in the meantime.
(Sam encounters a T&T in Colo, I tell him to check if he pays him a tribute as per agreement. Since he doesn't, I go there myself.)
[23.04.2015 19:46:44] LR-Not.So.Serious.Sam.: Infact. Here he is.
[23.04.2015 19:46:47] LR-Not.So.Serious.Sam.: Tremble.
[23.04.2015 19:46:58] LR-Highly.Accurate: Right, I don't remember this guy's name.
[23.04.2015 19:47:06] LR-Highly.Accurate: Who the hell are you, Warner.
[23.04.2015 19:47:10] LR-Not.So.Serious.Sam.: He didn't tell me one. Don't ask me.
[23.04.2015 19:47:15] LR-Not.So.Serious.Sam.: Call him, Nameless.
[23.04.2015 19:47:16] T&T/Brian.Warner: Everybody knows where the Haven is son, have you been in a cryo tube until recently?
[23.04.2015 19:47:23] LR-Highly.Accurate: And I suggest you answer quick, before I start losing my patience and you start losing guns.
[23.04.2015 19:47:27] LR-Not.So.Serious.Sam.: Get bent.
[23.04.2015 19:47:34] T&T/Brian.Warner: these conduits are for the dockng modulrs
[23.04.2015 19:47:34] LR-Highly.Accurate: Shut your mouth, scrub. Answer my question.
[23.04.2015 19:48:02] LR-Highly.Accurate: Listen here, Warner. I told your boss to make sure your boys knew to give us a bit of ''respect'' without us needing to ask.
[23.04.2015 19:48:09] LR-Highly.Accurate: I do not see respect being transfered.
[23.04.2015 19:48:09] T&T/Brian.Warner: i think i facepalmed so hard my glasses broke
[23.04.2015 19:48:20] LR-Highly.Accurate: Let me brake your glass for a bit.
(We shoot him up a little bit)
[23.04.2015 19:48:21] T&T/Brian.Warner: I'm Brian
[23.04.2015 19:48:51] LR-Highly.Accurate: Oh, you are THAT brian.
(At this point I alt tab to check who was the Tinkers name who I messaged IRP, because I thought I just shot the boss or something, but no- it is Fynn, not Brian.)
[23.04.2015 19:49:13] LR-Highly.Accurate: *Chuckles* Well hello. Sorry I did not take note of your name, I really did not give a toss at the time.
[23.04.2015 19:49:22] LR-Not.So.Serious.Sam.: I still don't.
[23.04.2015 19:49:42] LR-Highly.Accurate: So tell me, Brian. Why did you just make fun of one of my boys? I thought that is my job.
[23.04.2015 19:50:53] T&T/Brian.Warner: y'all just need to stay informed of current events. I can't help he don't know where things are at. I ain't his momma
[23.04.2015 19:51:05] LR-Highly.Accurate: Well I am.
[23.04.2015 19:51:09] LR-Highly.Accurate: Did you just insult my baby?
[23.04.2015 19:51:37] LR-Highly.Accurate: Anyway, let's cut the crap. What are these docking modules you mentioned?
[23.04.2015 19:51:52] LR-Highly.Accurate: You have my attention.
(At this point I should mention that I was actually curious as to who you were making them for. This question also doubles as a RP demand.)
[23.04.2015 19:52:39] T&T/Brian.Warner: *Stares blankly*
[23.04.2015 19:52:50] LR-Highly.Accurate: *stares right back*
[23.04.2015 19:53:02] LR-Highly.Accurate: The frak are you glaring at....
[23.04.2015 19:53:55] T&T/Brian.Warner: You're just pulling my leg ain't ya? I know what you're doing, y'all need tell me what you want or find something else to do.
[23.04.2015 19:54:17] LR-Not.So.Serious.Sam.: Answer him you pig.
[23.04.2015 19:54:21] LR-Armchair.Traveller: We need to find something else to do?
[23.04.2015 19:54:25] LR-Armchair.Traveller: Really?
[23.04.2015 19:54:32] LR-Armchair.Traveller: And you get to decide what I can and cant do?
[23.04.2015 19:54:43] LR-Not.So.Serious.Sam.: I suppose every time he fails to answer, we can take some of his equipment off.
[23.04.2015 19:54:53] T&T/Brian.Warner: 'cause that was the dumbest thing i done heard from a rogue to date
[23.04.2015 19:55:05] T&T/Brian.Warner: "what's a docking module?"
[23.04.2015 19:55:15] LR-Not.So.Serious.Sam.: He's mocking you.
[23.04.2015 19:55:21] LR-Not.So.Serious.Sam.: You have some bulls.
[23.04.2015 19:55:24] LR-Not.So.Serious.Sam.: Pig.
[23.04.2015 19:55:56] LR-Highly.Accurate: Right, before my boys get a bit too restless.
[23.04.2015 19:56:13] LR-Highly.Accurate: I asked, you tart, who are you making them FOR>
[23.04.2015 19:56:15] LR-Armchair.Traveller: Bit late for that.
[23.04.2015 19:56:24] LR-Armchair.Traveller: I already wanna see him sold off on Buffalo.
[23.04.2015 19:56:32] LR-Highly.Accurate: Not what a goddamn module is.
[23.04.2015 19:57:30] T&T/Brian.Warner: check the log if you don't believe me
[23.04.2015 19:58:06] LR-Not.So.Serious.Sam.: I really suggest you cut the crap before we cut your life.
[23.04.2015 19:58:48] LR-Highly.Accurate: *Sighs* Right. Let me tell you right now, the only Tinker I talked to so far was Fynn.
[23.04.2015 19:58:52] LR-Highly.Accurate: Who the hell are YOU.
[23.04.2015 19:59:22] T&T/Brian.Warner: I'm just one of the scrubs, a recent addition
[23.04.2015 19:59:22] LR-Not.So.Serious.Sam.: Don't forget, if you don't answer, that thuster comes up.
[23.04.2015 19:59:27] LR-Not.So.Serious.Sam.: Of i mean
[23.04.2015 19:59:32] LR-Highly.Accurate: Everyone shuts up.
[23.04.2015 19:59:37] LR-Highly.Accurate: Right, scrub.
[23.04.2015 20:00:07] LR-Highly.Accurate: Did your boss tell you that you, when encountering us, need to sling us some ''respect''? Without us needing to ask you?
[23.04.2015 20:00:31] LR-Highly.Accurate: Because that was one of the reasons you boys are still flying around without my Torpedo squad pooping all over your lives.
[23.04.2015 20:02:21] T&T/Brian.Warner: i got nothing. cause and effect, stop damaging my ship and i might
[23.04.2015 20:02:28] LR-Highly.Accurate: Was that a demand?
[23.04.2015 20:02:47] T&T/Brian.Warner: that's the straight forward truth
[23.04.2015 20:02:50] T&T/Brian.Warner: you asked
(We promptly shoot off all of his rear guns)
[23.04.2015 20:04:10] T&T/Brian.Warner: //look that stopped being funny ages ago
[23.04.2015 20:04:14] LR-Highly.Accurate: I feel better now.
[23.04.2015 20:04:15] T&T/Brian.Warner: //we're done
[23.04.2015 20:04:35] LR-Highly.Accurate: I think I will need to contact Finn again.
[23.04.2015 20:04:39] LR-Highly.Accurate: Get out of here, rookie.
(I then realize that the guy can repair his Cheetah Thruster on your POB for free, so I just shoot it off instead of just damaging it)
And there you have it. Feel free to continue to OORP in local with us if you so wish, but that will not save your thrusters from further abuse.
I chatted on this with Spazzy as Tinkers Leader ...
All Tinkers and Rogues :
Tinkers are expected to offer some pocket money fast. Server min. is 100.000 sc and would be accepted by LR. I would say offer a mil, but then let the Rogues sing a bit...: other pirates around, opportunities for a pickup ect.
We have an agreement between T&T/ and LR- , that Tinkers are no prime targets and recognize the crime lords of LR as a major power in Liberty. We pay a monthly fealty to the crime lords for the safety of the Haven, and "show our respects" in readily offered cash if we meet them underway. So we do NOT WAIT till a demand is issued.
In return we can send a plea for help to LR- any time other pirates show up ( T&T/ : NOT against LH~ , I trust no Tinker would be so stupid and try to play the Rogues against the Hackers as we have an agreement with them too. And I would personally flay the offender if he survives ). So if you get harassed by any Independent Pirate, or if you see an Outcast Cap ship blocking the lanes : hey, tell the local crime scene, it´s their turf after all ?
As for the Thruster shot off : Fair game.
23 mil is no really big loss for a trader character.
We are setting up inRP Insurance at Tinkers for our members to meet "expenses" while in a RP flight or in a bad encounter. If you really think the 23mil are important I will refund you from T&T/Bank.
Now the serious point :
//ooc in chat
ONLY in urgent cases. Best switch to private chat ( green ) , or use inRP in system or local chat. Or just go along, get shot, send me the Logs and a screenshot with timestamp and we will either send a sanction note or sort it out inRP or between factions.
Spazzy and me now have a skype chat open to deal with such issues, and cloggind the faction feedback repeatedly with demande is not what a feedback chat is about.
If you post in a feedback thread : state what you felt, if you like it or not, if you see issues or feel that behaviour should be changed. All else :
send a PM to the faction leader. Or to your own faction leader as we take responsibility for exactly those purposes.
Back to Feedback about LR- :
I am watching the current LR- revivial with mixed feelings.
Torpedoe wing is about LULZ... okay... I will try and evade them :-)
As for the rest :
Currently LR- sems to be pulling in the right direction, setting up a crazed and agressive group of Pirates.
As I quoted in Skype before :
Quote:[24. April 2015 20:43] Rob ( FynnMcScrap ):
LR is a troll and PvP faction, getting high activity because the leader is showing others how to shoot players without getting a sanction ?( FynnMcScrap )
Quote:[25.April 2015 10:02) Rob ( FynnMcScrap ):
There are a lot of players around that get butthurt, and I have lost players recently becazuse of LOLwhut pirating. Id rather have an active LR cutting out the LOLwhuts , giving my Tinkers a chance to pay off before getting cargo pirated.
Well ... after the chat with Spazzy I take back my angry first comment.
Though I do hope that LR does continue to either chase LOLwhuts away or teach them how to LOLPirate in the server rules.
Pirating is part of the game, if you like it or not.
The deal T&T/ and LR- have is exactly meant to reduce the stress on T&T/traders and skippers. Toss them a few hundred thousand or a mill, be a bit careful about not provoking them, or "bigmouthing them" as Spazzy said in his inRP post from Mort and you will be safe from more.
That is actually not trolling , but normal life in DISCO.
And as the LR- specifically warned that the Thruster is targeted and gave plenty of RP before finally shooting : np with that either.
Sure : getting shot and loosing your cargo is cheaper. But that is ooc too.
inRP : You got away with your life, and will get your Thruster refitted easily.
Right, gonna bump this again.
Over the past half a month we have seen a few new members joining in as well as a few more changes here and there: hopefully towards the better.
With LR- now being the single only faction to represent the Rogues as an NPC faction, I think now it is time to focus on community feedback and suggestions in particular about what they would like to see from a Liberty-based, highly-aggressive and expansionist group of assholes.
Kudos! Had a great encounter with one of your newer Recruits LR-You.call.this.clean? Was indeed great fun and we stood like almost an hour or 2 don't remember pirating between Liberty - Kusari.
{PR}Scurvy.Rat
I hope to see more action in the future, I was sad that Spazzy or Impy weren't online though 8(
Our story begins the other night
My windows were filling with dawn's first light
I flew into Texas to role-play
Because two LR- looked like they had something to say
And wouldn't you know it, I was right.
The conversation started out meek.
I said "Hello, friend." The response I got was just "*Squeak*"
I thought it was fun
And be over and done
But no, Shared.Torpedo just had to ruin it and speak.
What he had to say was in no way funny
'Cause with Rogues it's always..., always about the money
I saw the cat coming from the bag
All because of my damn blasted tag
There's always some NaCl in my honey.
I heard "Torpedoes don't pirate" a guy named Spazzy say
So this incident must have been a real off day
Intent was just for me to die
So the torpedoes began to fly
Do you even know how to Disco any other way.
This isn't negative feedback, as it might seem at first glance
The money isn't an issue to me, so much as the bad moves of your dance
Where I do feel some sleight
Is that this wasn't my fight
But I'm glad that I gave you your moment to prance.
// Remembered the conversation in TS last night, and I figured I'd give you something to laugh about.
[09.06.2015 07:33:36] LR-Shared.Torpedo: Ey, Junker. Wait up.
[09.06.2015 07:33:42] .:j:.Terra.Firma: Tyria: Bonjour, mon amis.

[09.06.2015 07:34:18] LR-Shared.Torpedo: Anyway, this is not your lucky day.
[09.06.2015 07:34:47] LR-Shared.Torpedo: Our boss, right? He told us to come here and remind the Congressmen that ignoring our transmissions and invitations is very
[09.06.2015 07:34:47] LR-Shared.Torpedo: rude.
[09.06.2015 07:35:42] .:j:.Terra.Firma: We're not capable of helping ourselves anymore, let alone those who ask for it.
[09.06.2015 07:35:51] LR-Shared.Torpedo: I doubt Mort cares.
[09.06.2015 07:36:17] LR-Shared.Torpedo: The bosses sent you fellows a few transmissions, apparently.
[09.06.2015 07:36:20] LR-Shared.Torpedo: Nobody replied.
[09.06.2015 07:36:22] LR-Shared.Torpedo: Guess what happens now?
[09.06.2015 07:38:03] LR-Shared.Torpedo: What are you going to say about that, hm?
[09.06.2015 07:38:16] .:j:.Terra.Firma: Tyria: Pardon, I was answering some neural net transmissions before I get what's coming.
[09.06.2015 07:38:55] LR-Shared.Torpedo: Really now. I suggest you keep your undivided attention on me, considering I am pointing a gun at your head.
[09.06.2015 07:39:29] LR-Shared.Torpedo: Mort asked us to demand compensation for wasting our time. I am thinking he meant for you to pay him 15 000 000 credits.
[09.06.2015 07:39:44] LR-Shared.Torpedo: But feel free to say now. If I shoot your face off, I am sure boss will be just as delighted.
[09.06.2015 07:39:58] LR-Shared.Torpedo: say no*
[09.06.2015 07:40:36] .:j:.Terra.Firma: Tyria: I'll give you twice that, if you stop wasting my time.
[09.06.2015 07:40:49] LR-Shared.Torpedo: Wasing your time?
[09.06.2015 07:41:07] LR-Shared.Torpedo: Hey, get this. Apparently we are wasting his time.
[09.06.2015 07:41:24] .:j:.Terra.Firma: It's not all fun an crimes being a seller of junk.
[09.06.2015 07:41:43] LR-Shared.Torpedo: Really?
[09.06.2015 07:41:53] .:j:.Terra.Firma: So, that's a no then?
[09.06.2015 07:42:01] LR-Shared.Torpedo: Well, we are wasting your time, after all.
[09.06.2015 07:42:26] /givecash lr-shared.torpedo 30000000
[09.06.2015 07:42:26] You have sent 30.000.000 credits to lr-shared.torpedo
[09.06.2015 07:42:29] LR-Shared.Torpedo: That is very unfortunate. I am sure my boss will understand.
[09.06.2015 07:42:36] LR-Shared.Torpedo: Nice one.
[09.06.2015 07:42:55] LR-Shared.Torpedo: Bye.
All I can say is, LR is a disappointment after what I saw today. I've never really encountered LR- before, but I am glad I didn't. I am sorry, but when you also make a thread saying "Motivate your members to log", then go and put 1 Scylla, 3 GBs, 6-7 snubs on 4 VHFs, there is something wrong. You know, motivating someone to log against stuff like that is hard, when you know the faction you will face cares least about you. I also didn't enjoy how your certain members acted after the fight.
