Err. Since these posts are due to deletion or split I thought I'd remark some things. (Mal, shush the post will be deleted/moved eventually, and THIS thread I didn't dispurify. They did.:P)
First.. Nusse, those are a bunch of excuses, thats all.
Of COURSE the Daggers didn't damage your BS, they are daggers, starting pirates for the game. Go try that with 50 Sabres in Vespucci breathing down your back. Your making excuses for your actions so you can do whatever you want. Don't claim any victories against a faction like that without actually engaging that faction. You can't make yourself so powerful in RP like that. Most people will tune themselves down a bit, or have something happen that stops them, or gets them back for it and undoes whatever was done, etc. Unless the case is something happening to your own character or faction and your doing the RP.
I'm not having a go at you (god I'm speaking like Hoodlum now *shudders*) I'm trying to prevent alot of flaming. Firebird got mad when Ember attacked Cambridge without any SF on, but there were BSG, IND, and SiN|Tech guarding. You went at Mactan with NO HF on at all, then claimed ultimate victory over them. That is powerplaying, something I used to do a long time ago, and myself got flamed for it. Nowadays anytime my characters are doing something extremely powerful it is between two of my characters, or not connected to other factions or people's chars. For example, Luciaden is psychic, but I don't allow him to have the ability to read other's minds fully, maybe surface thoughts if that, without the consent of that person via PM. This is only void if he is reading minds of my own characters, or non-existant troops of AW, RM, SF, etc.
