Thank you Michael Brookes

Pad blocking, destruction of ships that appears gratuitous rather than part of the game dynamic (again, that's how people feel). And Code itself said that its actions were meant to disrupt the CG, so I guess that determines whether it was a disruption.

Pad blocking isn't an exploit, and not considered as such by FD as far as I am aware. Destroying ships regardless in what quantity isn't griefing either. So what again I'll ask you are your accusations of griefing and exploiting?

First you said we were disrupting gameplay, now you are saying we are disrupting the progress of the CG. The latter is true, the former can only be decided by FD but course we can all share our opinions on this.

It's name calling (I got called a furry Osama wana-be), hackusations (Confirmed to be people that represent certain hacks wanting to start drama), and outright bashing (Everywhere on the forum).
If you can't stand a little forum PvP, please log into the solo forum.

Calling you a furry Osama wanna-be is a bit salty to my taste. You're more like this guy:

There is something I find funny that I have seen being mentioned several times now. When 4 pirates interdict you it is to cause fear...

Very cowardly type of pirates if you ask me!

I've yet to find an example of when pirates ever had the stronger force when conducting their trade. Seems the pirate was always outnumbered, had the smaller ship and of course a worse trained crew. So in what way do any group or wing that attacks a sole trading ship resemble pirates?

What I read is happening is more akin to armed robbery by crooks who sometimes have morals other times they do not.

This would be the case if the community decided to organize and coordinate against us, but it's definitely much easier to call someone else a coward on the forum than it is to be brave yourself and fight back in-game. Also, real life doesn't have instancing issues and player limit of 32.

The only thing I didn't like happening in the Hutton Orbital CG was the multiple killing of the cameraman as it disrupted my viewing of the event, and I don't even know who killed him (or who they were affiliated with).

Although even in real life wars camera people and journalists can get shot...

Haven't you guys already stated yourself that being a coward as a pirate is the sensible option?

Embrace your inner cowardice. Speaking from experience, it does set you free :)

I think I must have broken the Rep button Ziggy as it won't give you any more points. :(

On the 32 player instancing I've already mentioned that this is a problem going forward also the instance jumping is a big issue and should perhaps stopped if there is combat of any kind in the one your in?

I don't care about being called a coward just as I don't care about being called brave. As Captain Jack Sparrow would say, "I have only ever embraced the oldest and noblest of pirate traditions, we must fight... to run away!".
 
"Hey there Mr L6, you need to fight back, here and not go whining on the forums... What do you mean you don't have a 150Mcr combat ship? You haven't been playing since Gamma? You didn't make a fortune on the old rares routes? Milk the Seeking Lux farm? You didn't go AFK on a Cap ship for hours on end farming CZ bounties? You only get a couple of hours every other night to play and wanted to participate in a CG for fun?... Not our problem...." BOOM

That is why the asinine response of "Fight back then..." makes you sound even sillier.

I prefer it when the Furry character types. They at least sound like a politician who is vaguely trying to be liked. You come across like our Minister for Works and Pensions, who delights in kicking the crutches away from disabled people and then stopping their benefits for not getting to the Job Centre on time.
 
For Smiling Dog Crews part in Hutton and Maausk, we do what we do, we associate and fly with Code but we aren't roleplay pirates, SDC are a small group of serious internet spaceship combat pilots who are interested in PvP space combat, CMDRS Sundae Skramz and myself have killed many people with and without warning and have no need to try to make RP excuses or seek forgiveness for what we do. We use any tactics we see fit to subdue our adversaries and thats how we play the game. We might associate with Code and fly with them but certainly don't answer to them neither should anyone consider the actions of SDC as representative of the Code or their pilots, we are merely "consultants" who help Code when things get hot and visa versa. SDC aren't some off the handle Code wing made up to take the blame for stuff as has been suggested on Reddit, we are our own group and will continue to maintain our autonomy whoever we fly with.

<snip>They are a bunch of very cool and fun guys, no-one is trying to ruin anyones fun or anyones day but we are a bunch of guys who shoot stuff up, this is an established fact so when we blow your ship up, don't cry and post on forums saying you weren't warned, NPC's don't warn you, game mechanics work against everyonein some way, we lose alot of money in ships doing what we do. Also as an Eve player I see the future of this game and player powerblocks are going to be a reality of this sandbox, like it or not.
Part of making a powerblock is to suppress the gains of any potential adversary, part of this is identifying who it is that can take you on. The best place for us to find serious opposition is at CG's. <sinp> Many thanks to those brave souls who have come and fought, killed and died, <snip>

And I'll say again that I was explaining what players were complaining about, without for the moment expressing my own opinions about that.

I am sharing my opinion about disruption of the game. You don't have to agree.

I can confirm this as a Code official.
