I spend 2 days to grind myself a Clipper (yay \o/) and i seem to have lost the track here...

What you just wrote is really disheartening. But you have friends here! And thanks for hosting this thread. It was what i read on my first "test-run" into the black, when i decided that this was what i need to get involved in. I basically got Drews book because of all that info and tinfoil you gathered here.

Obviously i missed what was going on here just recently, but i thought that needed to be said. :)

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 remember, didn't you make some suggestion about turning in each other and throwing hand grenades?

Seemed a bit extreme for you sir.

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 :(

CoR = muh secret club!!

Never understood the point of acting like that to others who are helping.

As someone had already said in reply to your original post, a bit of a move from CoR.

We've got your back mate!

Oh and I was mid-reply when the 'disappearing' happened. Was about to say to the CoR folks that the hate they thought they were getting on this thread was just from interlopers and wasn't actually from the regular members. That's been blown out of the window! :D

Nah, we're just at the ebb part, Flo is coming by later. She said she had some weird bit of cryptic message for us to read, so we're just killing time till then.

Can you describe it ? Don't want to return the wrong one.

Looks like an egg timer, but the sand flows backwards. Not sure why.

Random thought that is impractical but would be a lot of fun.

Restore the Zurara but instead of returning it to the bubble have it move every month to a new system somewhere in deep space. Before it moves it can drop a beacon with a clue as to where it went. Once found it would make a sort of respite for explorers while the monthly search would make it a sort of respite for rifters.

I sort of like this, but I think that's what Raxxla does.
