what kind of RP would this be? excellent good, bad, terrible?

[ian]

well after logging in for the first time in a few days i notice that there are 3 Lane Hackers in the same system as me, Magellan, as i had to pick up supplys and after about 10-15 minutes a Lane Hacker comes to Freeport 4 to disrupt the trade lanes and shooting the NPC's around it and naturally being IMG myself i asked him to stop disrupting the trade lanes and leave the area, he declined but the main thing is after this.
Every, i think it was all as there wasnt other pilots in the system, Lane Hacker in the system came to Freeport 4 outnumbering me 4 to 1 then an Outcast came along in a destroyer now it was 5 to 1 with the Destroyer basically equal to me nevermind the two Gunboats and 2 fighters then out of nowhere a Phantom comes along in an Osiris and as far as i know Phantoms are meant to be the most evil beings within Sirius i would of atleast thought that the Lane Hackers would of joined up to fight the Phantom menace but soon as i start to cruise on out of the area the Phantom CD's me so i fired about 4 shots at most back then over comms i read "all freindlies ENGAGE!" everyone was shooting me 6 seconds later i find my shields down, batteries already ran out, Bots also very low, with 20% hull left then boom i was dead with the Lane Hackers talking civily to the Phantom as if there was no hatred for Phantoms at all

now what Roleplay would you say this was in that an Enemy of everyone, as far as i know, in Sirus was being aided by several Lane Hackers without threats to each other and the fact they had to outnumber an Albatross with 1 Battleship, 1 Destroyer, 2 gunboats and atleast 2 fighters just because i warned a Lane Hacker to stop disrupting the trade lanes and move away from Freeport 4?

I'm no expert on the topic, but everything that happened there seems very, very wrong.

That said, this smells vaguely like trial-by-forum, even if the thread description says otherwise and even if that is unintentional... and chances are, some other parties involved will be posting here soon as well.

Someone got a pie for this thread?

[ian]

it sounds wrong to me aswell and the reason i am not mentioning names at all as because do not wish this to be a trail-by-forums (otherwise i would of put in names) but simply people commenting on the RP that was used during this event

on a sidenote though: i have an Apple Pie if that is any good for you:)

the 101st is friendly with the Phantoms..as are the rest of the outcast...so id imagine the LH are too...could be wrong tho..

Edit: just checked the faction status thread phantoms are neutral to all pirate factions and vise versa......except the 101st were buddies:D

so they were in the right ,no ooRP

Phantoms are hostile to house forces, they maintain bases of operations on unlawful bases and stay neutral to them. Check faction status, they do.

As for the LH beating you up for telling him to stop firing within 5k of a Freeport, I would expect those particular LH to starve because they get most of their supplies from that Freeport. I believe an apology is in order to yourself and the IMG at large, at least from the Lane Hackers involved. The Phantoms really doesn't need to apologize, havoc and mayhem = good.

Actually, Phantoms are at the very minimum neutral to all pirate and otherwise unlawful forces unless said unlawful forces have deliberately engaged the Phantoms. Their objective is to topple the house governments and create a state of anarchy so that the C'tan can take over. We don't know that, of course, but they're not shooting at us and they have big-ass guns, so we're all supposed to be loving them.

Quick comment - we thought that Panzer was the Leader, Swift. -Agmen

Which Dreadnought was that?

One of your nine.

[Magoo!]

If the Phantoms like making friends with bad guys, I recommend their info card to have "criminals" or "unlawfuls" under their friendly status. 'Cause it seems to me it says, "Everybody else" under enemies and "None" under friendly.

*sticks pie in thread, sets timer*

Seriously though, I do think it was wrong. If the Phantom in question would like to enlighten us though...

I think it is wrong because of this: IMG isn't affiliated (much) with any Houses, so the Phantom would really have no reason to CD ian.

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.

the LH faction post says

NEUTRALS:
(Targets of Opportunity)
(Assist / Attack / Pirate / Ignore : depending on what is most consistent with LH goals.)
Freelancers, Golden Chrysanthemums, Hogosha, IMG, The Order, Zoners, Red Hessians, Unioners, Bundschuh, LWB, Mercenaries

and the Phantoms:

Diplomatic Relations:
ALL NPC PIRATE FACTIONS - Friendly
ALL HOUSE/TRADER FACTIONS - Hostile
[101st] - Friendly
SCRA - Friendly
All pirate factions - Neutral
All others - Hostile

and its common knowledge that the outcast dont like the IMG and vise versa.

Yeah, the Phantom I understand, but the Lane Hackers not so much. Were they part of the Lane Hacker faction or not? If they were part of the faction, I would be very surprised.
