You wing composition would barely provide security for a Sunday afternoon progress to the local bar.
That wasn't a protection detail but fancy parade.

Argue all you want results speak for themselves..
It is what it is.

Sorry your lordships,,,

Salome died for one reason, well many if you want to be exact and NONE of those reasons were because of the storyline. Most of the community wants the formadine rift mystery closed today not next week and not next year. It was a storyboard which for some unknown reason Fdev decided to drag out so much it became an excuse for months of nothing happening during patches, the debarkle with the broken content in the rift left a lot of us fed up knowing that even though drew wasnt responsible, Fdev could of done a lot more a lot sooner and instead gave us nothing but excuses. The fact that the rift mystery over the past year was so poorly played out by the ingame actors and Drew's strange hints well you can understand why people just want to end it. Its just like your pet cow that can no longer be milked, someone had to shoot it to put it out of its misery and i am glad it went out with a bang. Now can we have our Thargoids, our pew pew and our galactic invasion please Frontier. Perhaps when the dust settles some good will come from this, only so far a community will go before something snaps.

Epilogue:

Hassan, Raan, Yuri, Tsu, and Luko visit the CG embellished marker in Tionisla. It appears immolated, on fire as the Tionislan primary reflects off the crystalline columns.

Not a word is exchanged.

Then, "That... could have gone... better."

The reaction was "Oh S***! It's HP!" :)

And no, we never for a single second trusted him.
I hope Isaiah's video captures the fight as he was the one in the instance with Salomé when HP got her.

To get back to the point of the thread, as Salomé is unrelated (and always was). The "message" she was going to put out, was already out and found, unless there were specific locations with other messages to be found. Now I ask again, Where were the other characters going? Did they make it? Did they reveal any seperate messages unrelated to the messages in Teorge?

with what little facts I can ascertain from this thread and a quick fact check with CoR representatives. Please check it out and let me know what should be changed/added. I'd like to collect statements of events from all the major parties involved to create an impartial summary of occurrences.

Please guys keep this civil, whether you are RP'ing or not. This thread is a safe place on these forums, we want minimal mod interference!

We still have Hassan and Luko and Octavia. Don't we?

I think there were two separate groups - COR (Children of Raxxla) was the core group but they are not good at PVP normally. Then there was this group PAC who seemed to want to control the second layer of defence - they were the ones who allowed certain other players to be part of their white list, thereby allowing said players through to the last line of defence.

Now from a technical game point of view, I guess it was Salome's choice to have this guy on her friend list (assuming that is correct). However, if none of the opponents had been able to locate Salome anywhere all these threads would be about how boring things were and how those wanting to kill Salome had no chance.

What will be interesting to see is how the ending is written up - Salome was not killed by someone who was acting out of loyalty to the Empire, but by someone acting on a "personal" motive -

This. And story-wise I expect Drew expected & didn't mind martyrs if it made for a better story. :)

Well, you'd expect a group called the CoR to tell Drew that this was a dreadfull idea?

You could have used that "secrecy" of yours to have a "secret" decoy ?

What's the point of calling yourself CoR if you let that kind of things go ?? What did you actually do to deserve that name ?

""" Escaping""" the Empire for years and then falling for the dumbest trick in the book, laid down by the most well known ganker on this side of the galaxy.... WoW, maybe Salomé wasn't that good after all..

I mean... there is just no excuse.

Some of you have a fairly skewed view of reality. CoR doesn't get to tell Drew to do anything. It was Drew's choice to have Salome befriend any and everybody, it was Drew's choice to not limit who could be hunter or hunted. He rightfully wanted the race to play out in game, risks and all and had even said he suspected she'd likely die. He did the right thing because the second he starts saying "you can play, you can't" the vitriol on the forums would be A) warranted and B) 10x worse.

If you're emotionally involved because you really like the character then great, buy Drew a beer for a job well done but you all need to give the real world conspiracy theories a break. They're fun in game but it's actual real people you're talking about, many of them with a hell of a lot more time and emotional investment than you.

I will never get used to just how petty some people can be. Sigh, not interested in giving ED a break or the Rift a break but it's clearly time to give this thread a break. Somebody ping me when it's over.

Edit: for the record I don't have a side here, I wasn't involved in the hunt so before somebody dials up the 'You're just defending them because <insert random reason here>" conspiracy don't waste your time.

Yeah they were available before the event started. Makes me wonder if these are actually what the message was supposed to be, as they were already in place before the event and discovered, and subsequently posted in this thread. Which is why I keep asking who the other characters were, and where they were trying to get to and if they succeeded.

Yes we were. Healer beams + frags in my case.



Part of spinning off PAC was so that the sheer number of people wanting to get involved could have a place to organise themselves.
CoR were never part of PAC. This was a deliberate choice on our part so we could concentrate on building up our faction's people and ships without having to constantly look over our shoulder or be limited in what we could or couldn't do.

When we heard SDC and CODE wanted to join PAC, we strengthened our internal security to the point where we were almost turtle. We never trusted them for a single second.

We practiced with PvP loadouts, we practiced making and evading interdictions, and we practiced jumping as a synchronised wing.
We clearly got good at the synch jumping, because our flight made it to the bubble, despite module malfunctions in Salomé's ship, instancing issues, and lots of folks trying to find her.

While all eyes were on Salomé, the other 3 flights got through to the destination. We've lost Salomé who is our faction's figurehead leader. The other 3
She has fallen, but Raan, Tsu and Yuri got the secret out.


That will come, but I need some rest tonight. It's been a stressful time these last few weeks preparation.

What I will say is that Drew has some real drama for his final chapter. Being chased, hot jumping, the damage that goes with that, and having to pause to regroup due to getting separated and instancing. I would like to see how that comes across.

You should have had SDC KoS

You learn from your mistakes I guess
