If you say you don't care, why should I doubt you?
I'm returning from exploring and trying trying to travel 5k LY in a day. And I'm not a goodie carebear - I'm an evil carebear with a bloodstained axe
This thread is the only thing stopping me from sticking a fork in my ear and twisting it...
As in "Say hello to my liddle frien'"?
Kudos on the plan to have traders boost your BGS for you, that's actually quite clever. Ironically AA in Eravate is being affected in the exact opposite way by the exact same mechanic.

Not saying you are, but it seems that people are getting their jabs in by pointing out the length of the thread in comparison to how much we care or don't care, even though most of the thread is comprised of people who say the don't care about The Code.
I guess I don't care that our BGS got deleted, but care enough to stick around to see who did it, when they did it, and how long it took. Us losing our BGS is something new to all of us since this thread was started. We did know about SDC being deleted and when I heard about that I must admit that I was wondering how ours was doing. I come here to find out that we some how expanded to Zaonce as well as being deleted. All of the news is quite surprising.

Hours of my lazy Sunday have been devoured thus far, it is another form of entertainment that I never quite considered in the past.

I do actually care. Even about The Code in the context of the game. (weird, I waste my life with stuff I care about
)The sooner we get on a common page what the game is and what it is not and how it should develop, the better.
I just kinda do expect that the framework FD provided is taken into account and that we do not desperately need to copy single mechanics from other games just because they worked or not over there (if they worked so well, I'd actually be playing EvE or SC).
- different modes on the same BGS
- open world, open PvP
- PvE is the still basis for pretty much everything (even if you pirate some trader or miner in PvP, he still has to get his cargo from somewhere)
- different systems that ED is running on (that was pretty interesting in the piracy thread .. xBox users and their issues to use comms the way PC/Mac user do)
- P2P and instancing
That's the stuff we have to work with.

Yep, it has come right out of the blue. I'm just a random player, but I have often been to Orrere due to trading in Rares. Never came across much in Open, so it makes sense to me that you didn't really maintain a presence there: I never saw you.
Perhaps we will all learn something eventually?
After the "Wolfberg" project, I was invited to participate in a a private group to go after Code systems.
I personally didnt have time at the moment, but I do know for a fact that a group was attacking Code in a similar fashion that SDC got attacked in their system, pve/bgs
I say, Good Job to the silent group that did this!
One of the best summaries I think I've ever read here. Thanks for a good laugh. Can't rep you again.
From some of the quotes I've seen, apparently the Griefer/pirates (grieferates?) are questioning why people want to read or post in this thread. I'm very much enjoying the high Grieferate salt content. Please keep it coming.
On the OP's topic: grieferates are no longer the dominant faction in Orrere and elsewhere. This is nothing but good, IMHO. I'd be happy to help with this type of action if someone would make it public in advance next time. Guess my help wasn't required, but give a Carebear a chance, please. Please, please, please.
And just so this post fits in: I don't care about anything at all. I care less than any of you to infinity and I'll take my pretend spaceship and go to EVE if I don't get my way, and stuff.
I love this game!
That is pretty much what we've all been trying to find out for the last 24 pages...
Well that and taking jabs at each other and bantering.
That's was unnecessary an entirely off-topic. I said I was paraphrasing, and I was. The quote was originally made in "The Gay Science", and was popularised in "...Zarathustra", so you might want to check your references before casting aspersions. Just to make it easy, and to further spell it out: I was saying that people mis-quote that phrase much like you did, and also mis-read it much as you did. It is meant to mean "in the absence of God, how will mankind orient its morality?", being the question which led Nietzsche to his idea of the Overman. I was using it in relation to Code in order to say "who will take the place of the boogeymen?" with a bit of sarcasm, especially considering how the Archon gets demonised..
I should stop trying to make posts with any amounts of ambiguity in here at all, I suppose. I literally explained how I was paraphrasing it afterwards in the original post, but I guess that wasn't enough for you to get it. You saw a chance to pull someone up on a minor thing and completely missed the point, again.
Y'know, this highlights the whole point about these threads. People are too busy pushing their own type of troll or playstyle to allow for a balanced game or active community, hence those of us that want to get things done seem to work fine outside of it. As a Delaine supporter that does it because we all have fun, I can see how easily a community can polarise against pirates that don't even pirate. I can't blame them for getting worked up about the Hutton blockade when the PR campaign equated to "we're gonna blow you up after an hour's SC because it's fun!". That's why I'm happy sticking w/ Kumo and Black Omega: we're more about how chill you are than how good you are, and we care more about how much fun we have playing than the way we want to play...
...oh, and with a few exceptions, we try our best to be courteous in our communications and did I mention we know how to separate RL from RP? Some minor factions and PP groups can have trouble with that, I've found. No names mentioned this time, as we can all think of 8 different examples ourselves, I'm sure.
tl;dr? - I'm tired of finding bad eggs in nice handbaskets.

My main question.. What the hell is a player group getting their ingame
faction wiped out got to do with "who is the baddest PvP group in the game?"
Surely that is for another topic?
Also I put the same question to code that I put to SDC.
If having you own NPC faction for some pve gameplay is so disinteresting to you why take a slot having one put in game? Surely better to let a faction have one who will appreciate it?

Kudos to Cmdr Kewpa Eurus for being absolutely truthful!
The code is still here - so I at least still have by Penelope Pitstop baddies to boo at! They are not what they were, in fact from this a few threads today I have already found out they have tried many things cudos to those players - but players have clearly moved on. As long as the wolf one in sheep clothing PR guy is in the forum all is good (go-on read one of his posts and think of the Hooded Claw ... I dare you).
The game is going to morph. There are plenty of first gen player groups (by that I mean groups before player minor factions) that are no longer what they were - I give you Emperor's Grace - scared the be-jesus off my last Feb when I ended up calling and indy system on the Fed/Empire border home .... and they claimed it.
I never got any content out of Code - doing other things, but I like their presence on the forums and I morn their passing in a way I do not for SDC.
I am curious who did the BGS stuff, how organised was it etc. as well.

Oh jeez, the biowaste. I can confirm that not even MAs get rid of the smell. I doubt they'd have used that though, Orrere is a few orders of magnitude bigger than Wolfberg was and the trick we used got nerfed after we tanked SDC's influence by something like 15% in one day.
It seems like you can't distinguish between pirates and griefers, but then I might be asking too much.
It's not about who's the "baddest PvP group," it's about the unnecessary provocation of comparison.

I don't know how or why, but some AA members seem to proactively insert themselves and their organization into every thread they find with the explicit purpose of self-aggrandizing.
It's for official FD recognition, which led to our promotion to become a Triple Elite group. Having an NPC faction is just an add-on for us that we did not care for. All those that apply for a faction will eventually be approved (to my understanding), so it's not like that any group is taking opportunities away from other groups.
They are a very vocal pirate/comedy group: their home system has been undermined.
Well Code is such a loaded word... They're more Guidelines really.
Now if as a group/faction, they called themselves "The Guidelines", as a play on the pirate code, that'd have been awesome... but someone probably took themselves too seriously, or maybe just didn't think of that...
Who knows.
They're a pirate group with a reputation. Apparently they just lost 3 systems, over a period of between 1 week and 5 months (nobody seems to be quite sure).
For some reason, this has become a 24 page thread.
I believe next year, Peter Jackson will be making a trilogy of movies about it... if we ever work out what happened.
