The Powerplay discussion thread.

I am not going to support FW side any longer. I will take my weekly bonus and then change power. I guess time has come to melt the snow and enjoy the summer time.

May I suggest the Empire they really like militant types though I think the whole Honor and Respecting those lesser than you even the slaves might make that a bit difficult for you.
 
*nods* Kind of, indeed. And this will be a big problem in the future. It always ends bad when you have no chance to seperate different types of players. In other games you have guilds, corporations, cabals and whatnot to seperate your group from others, with like-minded people. Everyone can access the same content, but at what pace and with what goal is totally up to the various groups. Here, you just have that one content (which in general is fine), and one "big guild" with more or less people that don't add up in terms of thoughts. "Nerds" will always feel their work beeing sabotaged by the ones that do what they want, without caring for the bigger picture. The ones that simply want to play the game the way they like, feel beeing harassed by the "nerds".

It simply doesn't work. In other games, as soon as a guild reaches a critical mass of different player types, it would break appart. I have seen that more than once. Here? No chance, at least as long as you want to play PP. So right now, we just have one boiling pot that will, given enough time, create more and more of a toxic environment.

I think you're missing the difference here. The reddit is not an official collective of any sort. The advantage of the PP approach over traditional guild systems is that there is room for anyone to setup their own group. Our friend here could have set up his own reddit and proposed his own approach and his own tactics but he didn't. There's nothing stopping another group or individual players working on their own. A combat oriented group can setup on their own and do their own thing - no problem. The issue here is one player wanting to tell a disparate group of us what to do and getting annoyed when we don't. It's certainly not been us telling him what he must do.
 
"Error code 162JU RC51, and STEWIE", sorry I don't understand you. My brain can't handle this. Why is the kixeye battle pirates here? -

You bough a forum? - Why?

I removed myself off from it because I don't trust you. I don't like the idea being dictated by 3rd party site owner.

This isn't battle pirates.

Just a hint, there will not be a gun shop online where you can buy yourself better ships and guns to rant around. You have to work on it.

We ? As yes the infamous cosi mercenaries, you know I managed to lock down Cosi in an unarmed unshielded cobra the other night.

Example of the trolling presented and explained. -

https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteWinters/comments/3bwtp2/af_leporis/



Is there any power who wants green systems from Winter? Looks like they are for sale.

I rest my case.

Since we are mercenaries, you can hire us to take them.

Now I start to wonder why I ever did choose FW and gave them analysis from the field. How stupid of me.

Winters where highly doubtful that you where even mercs, you where unwilling to provide information to me about your existence as a 'group' of players.
And for the record, posting a reply on reddit is not trolling.

I wasn't taking a stance on this particular case. And while reddit is not the official collective, its at least one we have as FD totally failed to implement ingame communication inside of a faction (maybe for the better, who knows). Anyways - while you are right with what you said, it only works as long as those different groups have a common goal "bring our faction forward". But thats not always the case... overfortification, negative CC system prep. Thats more the direction i went with my post.
 
We are not going to provide you or your reddit team anything . You are 3rd party moderator with your own agenda. I have bough this game without you. I do not need to pledge my gaming to you nor any of my information. I am done with your reddit. I am not going to consume my time in your forum.

Winters is highly doubtful the Polecteri case exists. I just put a star to shine up there. We are here. - It is against your orders, as a statement .

That capital could be spent more usefully. But right now because we are kept out from the loop and our connection is kept cut as a lobby.
We can use it to give you CC or take your CC. Or we can use the entire CC and rest of it to oppose winters against your power.

It is a statement what message is this. Never look down on others. They might have more bite than you expected.
We can drive your costs up or down. y3k has nothing to do with it. -

It is statement. You need to calculate correctly. Behavior and results.

And a military base in the background.

Could we also have sparklers modules, so I can lead in the wedding barge, looking just like a lovely cake, as all those attendant fire their confetti?

Also a stink-bomb dispenser, great in a CQC for added 'phew-phew'...

:D

The thing is I do not understand what the OP is talking about, so it must mean I am rather out of touch with powerplay. It is like a whole separate game world to my gameplay.

You are very much on track right there. And you are absolutely right. I am trying to point out the cap and problems with communication here.

It is not my Reddit, the fact that you tell me that you are apart of a ingame organisation and yet you do not provide me any information whatsoever on who yo are, I have a name and that's it, my sources which are reliable have no information on you or you little band. From what I gathered you came into the Op Winters site that they have set up and then started dishing out orders like Patton in Bastogne, the guys on ALL of the PowerPlay sub-reddits are doing it in a democratic fashion, the Imperial are doing it the same as well are the independents, however they have larger player group in control of said factions and orders are given from them, and they do not like people messing up and expanding in the wrong place.

Go back to battle pirates Thank you. - You can keep your 3rd party site and talk all to yourself there. We left it in the background instantly when we noticed our error code 162JU.

Your voting: We were fighting in Sounti and Simyr while you still were counting. Did you vote long enough? - My point?
You can get angry even very happy, but I am not willing to put even one bite of data to your 3rd party website again. - I don't trust you. Our error code 162JU.

This power play is absolutely a mess until we have a clear system how to organize it. - Reddit is not that. Even less 3rd party websites which offer admin who votes until the battle is over.

Here is how I see it Roen You log onto a website hoping you could just take over and I didn't let you. I tried explaining to you the situation the site had been up only a week, but that wasn't good enough for you everything had to be now and your way you got all huffy started threatening Winters space with your alleged Cosi Mercenaries that nobody has seen or heard of. I then as Admin not a player commander warned you that I wasn't going to have you on operation winters if you allegiance was to Cosi Mercenaries and not Winters and that you must stop using threats. Since you realized I had the potential to carry out what I said as an administrator to the website, you quit Why because there is no compromise with you, there is no reasoning with you It is your way or the highway. You even tried to delete all your posts and PM's to me which held the worst of your belligerent behavior towards me ( which you were not successful I might add ) Oh and guess what I even posted them on the operations winters website for all members to see I set a poll up asking members whether they thought you had any grasp of reality or if they thought you a brilliant military tactician and I was wrong in how I handled you guess what 100% thought you could use some work on that thing called reality now the turnout was only 6 or 7 members but still 100% from your peers does that tell you anything Roen? My guess is NO and why do I think that because I don't think anybody but you matters in your little world its all Roen, Roen, Roen. I simply advised you to play nicely in the sandbox and not kick sand in the other kids faces and you lost it I seen 6 yrs old handle situations like that better than you, and for pete's sake Roen it is a game. After reading all that you have wrote and dealing with you on a personal level I now have one piece of advice left get away from the keyboard, or in William Shatner's words on SNL, "GET A LIFE"

Utterly brilliant.
With all the colours and sparklies, combat would be fabulous.


Hell, let's make the confetti launcher just spray all the CMDRs merits like confetti. I imagined them to be little pieces of paper saying "good job" with a picture of Mahone giving players a thumbs up.

Oh wow, just noticed Mahone's portrait is just crying out to be photochopped to give him the thumbs up. :D
 
I felt the need to make a video about my opinions of Powerplay

Hi Zac + fellow cmdrs. I put this in the PP suggestions sticky but I feel like it'll be buried and unwatched there. Some may disagree but hey, it's my opinions. It's an 8 minute video if you have the time to watch. Don't be put off by my tone - I'm just passionate about the game like most others who have problems with it. Up to now I have not complained or had issue with the game mechanically or in concept - not enough for it to ruin my enjoyment anyway, but unfortunately PP has changed that. FYI watch to the end to get to my suggestions about potential improvements.

Again - I love the game and only want to see it improve!

Thanks
