THE FORMIDINE RIFT MYSTERY (Part 4)

As my previous post and it's replies were removed for reported violation, here is a sanitised version for those interested.


Children of Raxxla have removed my membership status due to inactivity and I am now an "ambassador" with virtually no access anymore to their Discord channels.

I thought that keeping in touch with members of their Concul, informing them of things from this thread, and defending them when they were getting a lot of hate would have meant something, but apparently I don't talk to them or play with them enough.

I'm pretty hurt at this, so I'm venting it here, one of the last two homes I have in this game.

Details
When I connected to CoR discord, I saw that almost every single channel I had access to yesterday have disappeared. After I questioned what had happened on the only channels I had access to, an UN-NAMED member of the CoR Concul PM'd me where we had a discussion over what happened.

Without publishing private messages or player names, I was basically told:

CoR are changing members status's based on activity and membership of other groups. As I'm quite active in several other groups but not as active in CoR I'd been demoted to Ambassador with no access rights anymore.
CoR don't read or value the rift thread anymore as it's full of hate towards them.
CoR don't want members who lurk and don't interact much.

a PUBLIC message told me:
"Yes. As you were not actively involved in CoR's activities, but is the person updating the Rifters thread, we think that the Ambassadors role is more suitable for you. However, if you want to become a full CoR member, you can consider to reapply again. But be warned that you have to contribute to CoR related discussions to stay a member."


So because of my level of activity on the Rift and Canonn threads, and membership of the Canonn PG - and that I've barely played Elite in the last couple of months, haven't spent my time discussing precious inside secrets on the CoR Discord or joined in with their activities, my presence in the group isn't valued.

I hardly think I'm a lurker. As soon as the Zurara idea was hatched, I was PM'ing members of the CoR Concul I know to get their thoughts on whether CoR are behind the idea, or it was contrary to any of CoR current plans. I watched the Live Stream of Salome's funeral. I've replied to questions where I've known the answer due to my knowledge of the Rift thread. I've linked CoR documents on the front page of the Rift thread. I defended CoR and dug out the truth when all the accusations started flying after the 29th event. All this while I'm taking a break from playing Elite!

But it seems that being a Rifter curator has made me persona non grata to CoR now.

Guess I need to make myself a new forum signature :(

So it's safe to reply to this one now, right?

So, here we go again. I'll just wait a few minutes just in case, don't want to use up all my good CoR lines just to have them hexedited again.

Now what was it I said? Oh yeah something in RP about being proved right about CoR being a secretive organisation with no transparency that can't be trusted becoming more secretive and letting down its members. Oh and do you fancy helping me steal a ship.

Disclaimer: my RP points still stand for this version and any connection to other unnamed events are purely coincidental and in the minds of the reader.

Then in RL commented that it sucked for you, I think CoR have made a mistake that could damage them, but you have enough friends to do what you want, and if we ever meet I'll buy you a beer. But at least now I can look forward to you not "correcting" my opinion of CoR
 
Things are going to get ugly if the Thargoids ever get the ability to report forum posts....just sayin'.

I've come to the conclusion that when the Thargoids do finally show up the entire ED community will come together, and after a vigorous debate, kill each other leaving the galaxy to the Thargoids to do with as they see fit.

As to the original missing thread, I clearly remember making an incredibly valid and poignant point, which I'm sure most agreed with so I'll let it stand at that.

I have no memory of making any posts about penguins.

Thought I'd get that out in the open before i forget. Or the memory is stolen. Or edited.

I have no memory of saying anything bad about that wonderful CoR group, particularly their glorious Council/Consul/whatever it is, long may it reign! Nothing at all about them ever being hypocrites, passive-aggressive, or just down-right totalitarian and arbitrary. They are a shining example of what player groups and factions can bring to Elite, and will be remembered always as such.

Thargs will see this. Scratch their chitinous heads. And flee thinking we have a undisclosed lethal strategy Ender's game-like.
