OOC Thread #2

[tassa_kay]

They're probably from Arc-Royal, continuing the tradition of raping that state while states like the UIW get free passes by dint of having nothing of value for the landgrabbing Clans to take.

Actually, they were bound for Tharkad from (iirc) Pandora, so yeah, but the rape was happening BEFORE the split.

I'm sorry, but what does this mean, exactly?  Because all you're really saying here is that I'm right... and I already knew I was right.

[Iron Mongoose]

He just means that either they wern't getting raped for being part of the Arc Royal faction, just a concidence that it worked out to be them.  Either that or it was just a way of pre-raping Arc Royal before it even came into existance.

[tassa_kay]

Thanks, IM, for making sense of that rather vile and nonsensical metaphor.

[Iron Mongoose]

Well, there are plenty of sexual metaphores for this sort of thing.  They're either getting screwed or f-ed or some other sort of thing.  Raped is a bit more violent and angry, but if that's the message we're trying to send...

[tassa_kay]

Hear that, August?  You were set up to fail from the beginning.  Aren't you glad you came back to the game, just to be offered up as a sacrificial lamb to the Clans while the Hellions play grab-ass with the UIW?

[NVA]

Lovely attitudes folks.  Good critical thinking.  I mean, WHY is the UIW surviving?  Because it doesn't have the infra to be a target.  So, how do you make Arc Royal survive?  How do you keep that infra out of clan hands?  You move it.  Course, THAT couldn't be the reason.  It has to be the GMs intentionally planning to screw players over and ruin the game for them.  *rolls eyes*

Right, of course. If I just aided the guys who are opposing the clans in word more than in deed, they'd be perfectly willing to let me off, no foul. Because they're cool like that. And forgiving.

Keep in mind, by "aid," I mean, "give away my stuff with no compensation whatsoever while my people die."

[tassa_kay]

August is fully aware of why he's a target and the UIW isn't, since I said EXACTLY THAT above.  Did you miss it?  I said that the UIW has nothing to offer the land-grabbing Clans, so they're ignored and even played nice with (I still shake my head at the absurdity of their legitimacy being offered up in a Grand Council vote) while Arc-Royal is, literally, raped despite all attempts to even open a dialogue with them.  So, yeah, thanks for regurgitating my own words.

[NVA]

My point isn't the 'reasoning' behind the clans decision.  My issue is the back tongued comments that this was a set up specifically to have this outcome.

I don't see how you have an "issue" with it to begin with, since it has nothing whatsoever to do with you.  I also don't see how you feel you have the right to speak for my motivations OR August's. 

Or, to put it in more diplomatic terms, if you have an issue, deal with it IC.

[Daemonknight]

as a representative of the 'land-grabbing Clans', i'd just like to point out, that just because someone isn't aware there is a diolouge between groups, doesn't mean it isnt there.

Just throwing that out there.

[tassa_kay]

(This was harsher than I intended.  Sorry, DK.)

I'm actually quite aware of your dialogue with Arc-Royal, DK.  So consider yourself exempt from my observation.  But JUST yourself.

[NVA]

When I have issues with IC actions, I deal with them IC.  Hence, Strana Mechty and Eden/Circe.  When I have issues with players, I keep those OOC, hence this thread.  But, you are right.  The players I have issue with aren't worth me wasting my time on their actions.

Fantastic.  So we can agree to disagree, and go back to ignoring each other.  Works for me.

NVA, were Arden Sortek and the DCMS guy on the ship with Marco Hall? Otherwise they shouldn't have been admitted to the A-R meeting. And honestly, I've waited three weeks or so to get this RP going again - I'd prefer not to drag out the dialogue by making it depend on more players than are necessary.
