Bowex's RP is some of the most entertaining / exhilarating / downright funny RP that i've ever seen. When I pass buy a Bowex ship in space, or when I see your guys' posts on the forums, I just know there's something amazing about to happen.
On that note, I would just like to say that the Bowex run watering hole "The Empress' Legs" is one of the most entertaining stories I have read so far. It appeared to start out as a simple bunch of people talking at a bar, but morphed into something far greater. I look forward to when more of the story is revealed.

Thank you for the feedback, Azrael. We try to do these things to generate amusement, bemusement and occasionally incredulous confusion. I'm glad it's been having the desired effect.
Hearing that people appreciate the stuff Bowex does is a really rewarding thing. This post made us all grin like idiots in the Bowex chat. :D
Also, in future, there is this new thread here for feedback. It should have replaced the old one, but it hasn't for some reason.
While you're here, take a look at this. The more the merrier, so feel free to jump in on either side (but Gateway probably needs some love).
I ran into two Bowex) tagged Percheron's in Cortez today, while I was hauling Slaves (Junker IFF/ID). They both proceeded to open fire upon my Slave Liner after an exchange of words, in which they demanded I hand over my cargo to them.
Now, If you read your ID:-
Quote:Pilot carrying this ID is employed by Borderworld Exports, who :
Can trade and escort traders,
Cannot ally with any unlawfuls except Golden Chrysanthemum and Blood Dragon ID players,
Can attack pirates and terrorists in self-defense, to protect another trader, to assist lawful forces or in defence of corporate bases. May also actively hunt Independent Pirate ID players.
Cannot participate in any unlawful actions except against Kusari lawful and Kusari commercial factions.
Allowed ships: Fighters, Freighters, Transports, Royal Liners.
Carrying unmounted IDs in your ship, as well as not equipping an ID, is a serious crime.
According to your ID that does not give you the right to fire upon my ship:- Unless in Self-Defence Or If I was Pirate ID'd. I did mention to them that it was against their ID, in which one did acknowledge I had a fair point, but continued to fire upon my ship.
Now, I want to point out this is my only negative encounter with Bowex) Tagged players & all my other encounters so far have been good.
Just thought I'd drop a line here and say that this role play was nicely done and appreciate being contacted ooRPly to discuss all of it. Have fun and hope to see ya in game.
