I'm utterly and utmost ashamed to even say I was a part of the ]bd[ once, after seeing this.
Take a look below, it's a chat log recorded from a certain individual.
Situation: It was in Sigma 13, i believe. Corsair and two CBF chatting, no signs of hostility or aggression took place. Then 2 ]bd[ show up.
*CBF*Hemaskas: Dragons don't like sairs either do they?
*CBF*.Valravn: Noland: A universe without corrupt houses..united under one banner.. where do you stand corsair?
]bd[-Yuriko.Saito: Corsair! Grrrr!
]bd[-Miyuki.Saito: Grrrrrr
*CBF*Hemaskas: Two katanas coming in.
]bd[-Yuriko.Saito: He came here to be whipped!
]bd[-Miyuki.Saito: Hai
*CBF*.Valravn: Noland: well corsair?
Don't use F1 or disconnect when interacting with other players.
]bd[-Yuriko.Saito: Sister! Let's blow it up and take his pod! I need a new toy to hit in my dungeon!
*CBF*.Valravn: Noland: I can tell you. In a coffin.
]bd[-Miyuki.Saito: Hai, lets blow him up
]bd[-Yuriko.Saito: Yay!
=CSF=YAN-7: new wol\rld order
GMG|Sum.Yungai.: Naha we heard reports of a disturbance
]bd[-Miyuki.Saito: MY NEW PET!
Death: =CSF=YAN-7 was killed by ]bd[-Miyuki.Saito (Gun)
]bd[-Yuriko.Saito: Now these pirates! Murder them ALL!
]bd[-Miyuki.Saito: ITS MINE
]bd[-Miyuki.Saito: HAI
GMG|Sum.Yungai.: Naha these Dragons appear to be dealing with the CBF
Death: *CBF*.Valravn was killed by ]bd[-Miyuki.Saito (Gun)
I honestly don't know how to respond to this.. It's disturbing to say the least. You guys, the ]bd[, were top notch RPers. You have excellent RP, I've seen it. But this.. this is just ridiculous. You think reaven would have allowed this? Where's the 20 minute rp session that there once was? Hell, you could have renamed your chars to "bob" and "joe" and went to New York and passed it off as RP, but the ]bd[?! Really guys? Really? This is painful, it really is. To see my good friend's faction gone down the drain like this. A perfect RP opportunity for both our factions, gone.
Reply, don't reply, whatever. I just hope you listen to me and be the role models you once were, instead of Liberty pirates.

I'll bring my character next time you guys log in. Yeah, you'll have your 5 minutes of chit chat RP and then 15 minutes of RP with guns. According to that, I should be covering your expectations, right?
I think what Fran means is that even if it might be surprising RP from Blood Dragon characters, it is still adequate RP considering the Saito Sisters are mentally deranged.
Maybe those are not the droids you're looking for, Enoch, but jedi mind tricks can be hardly considered as expected ingame behavour when the character in question or, probably, the player in question has understanding of Blood Dragons on the level of Katana controls.
At least make them call each other "slut" in japanese.

The 20 minute thing was exaggerated, i was simply remembering the quality RP that Reaven once presented.

Ah so the Shogunate let two mentally DERANGED sisters operate their Katanas? This is good news, maybe i should make a drunk Liberty pirate and ask for a Togo.

Well, I had an interaction with two of your guys like one hour before you posted this. What can I say? I was utterly ignored, they cruised away for ~50K and finally saying: *CBF*Reaper: We don't waste words on the likes of you
So uh, I don't mind shooting them again as I eventually did, but considering I stopped to ask what was that group doing in Sigmas, as well about the incident with the locals and just be totally ignored... I'll let you know that if there's something I hate, it's the hypocrisy.

Chimaeras, not Katanas. Fresh Naval Forces defectors.
Uhm, excuse me for intrefering, but with reav, RP wasn't on rise, despite group itself was on rise. I suggest you to read few first pages of MD and compare them to the late ones.
As a whole, RP now has been better than it's ever been. Blood Dragon forum RP is lively, though to be honest I've been shocked a little at the drastic changes in Blood Dragon RP since my times - people now tend to be more hyper-active and all 'banzai', adrenalin pumped samurai whereas I preferred to take it slow, trying to do the 'wise old man' thing (as most people when I was around did).
I think you just remember the times that I would sit and RP for hours, though to be honest that was only me who did that, mainly cos I fail at PVP. Though I would not like to think that the less overall amount of RP was due to my leadership. (were you referring to this?)
I would have liked to see more RP from the ]bd['s side in the given scenario, however I'm not going to complain - a) there's not much I can do about it and b) It's not the worst I've seen around, even from an official faction.
The only problem in this scenario was that, as far as I can see, there was no real interaction between the players; it just seems as if it's just one person talking to himself, then deciding to kill the target. If there had been a larger amount of RP'd interaction (or any at all, really) then I think that there would be no issue here.
A few more minutes along with interaction of it would have done the trick here. Crazy RP is good, and I like it, though IMO, it has to be done with some degree of length and interaction.

I will see to it that they are dealt with, i guarantee you. But none the less, if one groups makes a mistake and the other group purposely repeats that mistake, we'd all be in chaos. (Someone call a chaotician perhaps?:P)

My mistake.

MD means nothing, ever.
Alright so, this discussion can be considered over, I think i have a better understanding about all this now. And Ryummel, apologies if it seemed like i was out to get the ]bd[. I was just a bit angry and confused. Though, i do have one more thing that kind of puzzles me..
You don't think the 2 psycho chicks whom suspiciously defected are out to ruin your rep? If not, I'm going with what Reaven said. More RP and less crazy woman.
