Is Galcop a Thing Again?

I get that... but I've yet to see a non-obnoxious use for them.
It was great at the beginning when it was part of a mystery and not yet weaponized. It's turned into something of a farce.

To be fair, we had no idea that it would actually work. I think we were tipped off by GalNET that it shut down random station services.

Diamond Frogs, mind you, are a PART of GalCop. The rest of GalCop have been a good influence in keeping the Diamond Frogs mischievous streak in check

A couple of the member groups are Xbox focused. EXO for one.

EXO is rad as hell. They are one of two XBox focused GalCop members, check em out here: http://www.exowing.com/

The other is the Pixel Bandit Security Force, and they are also rad. They were recently on an episode of Educating Ed!

There's another XBox group in the process of becoming a supporter, too.
 
This is one of the issues with the "meta groups". All it takes is one bad apple, or possibly in this case one bad action, to cast a shadow across all members of the group.
 
Infiltrate, propose alliances and activities and then work from within to disband and disrupt their targets ( at least that was the methods of the old goons in eve online of which i was once a member), i would hope galcop work a little bit more above board and from what ive seen that seems to be the methology of the elite incarnation
 
I wish the log frogs and the rest of galcop started playing in open again.

Ah, yes, the tepid, never-done-before implication that GalCop doesn't play in open, strictly because, and just because, you said so. Well played, commander, clearly I am outmatched. o7

(Disclaimer: I don't actually think you outmatched me and that was, in fact, sarcasm. o7 )
 
UA "bombing" is a thing but the thing is anyone can engage in it, so its not a tool in a sense that is specific to anyone or group - everyone can get access to it
I didn't say it was. I just said groups associated with Galcop used it, in the case of our favorite Diamond Frogs for example they've UA bombed at least three different factions, one literally for "poops and giggles".

Way ahead of you, chief. The UA bombings were done by the Diamond Frogs, who are a member of GalCop, not the entirety of it. That aside, I actually caught hell and had to promise to stop after we brought 109 Piscium's only station (with refuelng and rearming) down. Still sorry about that, fellas!

If you are a member of something, you represent that something. Period. Anything else is just an excuse.

We (meaning the Frogs) originally bombed Eravate's Ackerman Market after the player group there hired us (via proxy) to help them win Cleve Hub... then promptly stiffed us payment and took full credit for everything. We needed to experiment what these new fangled UA's did when sold en-masse...

That's right. Great PR, use alien objects to "test them" on a station that virtually every single newcomer in the entire game uses a lot when starting. But it's okay, because were were STIFFED so let's screw the game for newcomers and other un-associated people! Surely this will mean people will trust us down the line because "us cheeky little frogs are now kept in check!"

Utlimately though, UA Bombing is a gimmick GalCop does not engage in and Diamond Frogs have stopped, because it's a stale trick with a known cure - it's the equivalent of letting the air out of someone's tired. Funny the first time...

"Does not engage in" yet....you did it multiple times and I never heard anyone from galcop denounce it other then to say "We're a large group. Can't hold everyone accountable." Yet in the real world, groups are held accountable by their members all the time. Basically, your groups weak arguements mean people have zero faith you will ever just stand up and say "well, it was wrong. Here's what we will do in the future". You you've changed now but the damage has been done and WAS done for a reason, because you fraked up the PR and you did someone wrong. That's why people don't trust you now.

"funny the first time" yet....you kept doing it.


The UA Bombings of Sol, Achenar, and Jaques Station were not done by the Diamond Frogs (we love Jaques cocktails, for one), meaning DF regrettably touched off a UA Bombing war that has affected dozens of systems. You either have to admit it's more than just the Diamond Frogs doing it, or you are admiting the Diamond Frogs are pretty powerful to be able to do so much damage. Pick one.

You've got me stumped. I'm desperately searching for the part where I said DF were responsible for every UA bombing. Being quite the capable reader, I've failed to find out where I said that.

(PS, I love the Diamond Frogs btw and I'm friends with a lot of people in E.X.O. I just think all these excuses are just that, excuses, and are a very good reason why someone like me RP wise and even real life wise, shouldn't trust you as a Galcop the group)

Conversations with people whom I have no reason to doubt.

Of course, I may have misunderstood them. It definitely was on the table after the DG though, but feedback from the other participating factions encouraged FD to reconsider.

So I heard. All it seemed to do is make the next Dangerous Games really boring and predictable; with one notable exception, GalCop did more in DG than the others put together. (EGP were legit awesome competitors, and ironically were the ones who treated us with respect).

This is one of the issues with the "meta groups". All it takes is one bad apple, or possibly in this case one bad action, to cast a shadow across all members of the group.

Yeah, that's one of the major issues. In this case, it's an action that predated GalCop, but it's been hard to shake that rep. We (as GalCop) are going to work on a megathread and hopefully make people realize there's multiple Triple Elite groups who aren't remotely like the Diamond Frogs. Again, actions speak louder than words, maybe some day we'll lift that shadow!

Yeah, I'm not begging forgiveness either. I'm not trying to spoil the game for people , but I am roleplaying as a parody of a terrible person with extremely good (and lucky) PR. In fact, all of the Diamond Frogs are. (warning: spoilers for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain)

That's a good example why I don't like the "GalCop" idea. For me it's just scavenging the ideas of others and using things that others started. There is no original idea behind it.


(But I have to like a CMDR with Laphroig in his name - slàinte :) )

I don't know man galcop never shows up despite bounty board and bgs activity in open and always plays in solo/private to manipulate the bgs because that way they don't have to face anyone. The last times I even remember us seeing galcop-ites was when we basically massacred the Zakuz wing with like a 12-1 kdr and the one death we suffered was because Bill's push to talk failed and the other time was when we destroyed imperator at the cg and surprisingly he didn't combat log though for some completely unfathomable reason he did beg to not be given a rebuy. Also the entirety of galcop are a part of the log frogs or not important enough to be inducted and as such just remain a part of the all encompassing pr campaign which is a continuation of the ye olde goonsquad psyops non-sense from EVE. Also mandatory mention of log frogs trying to inflitrate discords using "spies" for some reason that nobody understands even though all the silly armadillos do is kill people and casually do bgs (I'm pretty sury we haven't even banned all of the log frog "spies" yet).

I would ask you to 1v1 silk for a group leader vs group leader duel to clear some of the silliness but you don't play the game more than once every two weeks and even if you did you would probably honor the age old tradition of combat logging that the log frogs are proud of lol.

Wait wait wait wait. Are you seriously insinuating that we asked you help us to take Cleve? Because that certainly isn't the case. What happened was we were in a civ war and you guys were trying your hardest to get us to pay you to stop fighting against us "or else", to which I told Darthblingbling to buzz off and killed him, EIC showed up and said they would get you guys to stop, but you stuck around like a bad rash and got upset when you couldn't finish the job. Now that I think of it, EIC probably had you guys show up there in the first place. Because we'd never even heard of you until then. You and your crew have tried their damned hardest to ruin our BGS for almost a year now, including sending spies into my Inara and discord, UA bombing noob space stations, killing our cops and selling illegal gems to our stations. We know what you've been up to and soon the community will know.

No one from AA ever asked you for a damn thing. In fact when you were bragging about it on Reddit you didn't even know that we owned Cleve after you bombed Ackerman. You're making up to get your PR in line and it's pretty typical. Let's see some proof, because if you're going to be spreading lies im going to let everyone know about it. You have a lot of confused AA members wondering what you're talking about.

Man, the story changes every time with you. If I remember correctly it was "another playergroup paid us to do it" last time, and before that "we didn't do it!"

Stop spraying these lies around. You're embarrassing yourself.

I can’t imagine how the Diamond Frogs acquired a reputation for mode-switching so as to escape Adle’s Armada PvP whilst delivering UA’s to other player groups’ systems.

Oh, except ...

During Episode 14 of Educating Ed, the Diamond Frogs did spend an hour shouting at Ed Lewis to mode-switch so as to escape Adle’s Armada PvP whilst delivering UA’s to another player group’s system.
 
so on one side we have kermit, who is coming across as a reasonable representative of a group who sometimes do rash things; and on the other side, we have a bunch of people falling over themselves to hurl insults at him. I wasn't around while the events you're discussing took place, but I know who I am more inclined to believe is trustworthy, and it's certainly not the people who are resorting to childish name-calling.
 
I can't see anyone that much trustworthy here. That said, the side resorting to insults always comes off worse, because it shows lack of actual arguments.
