PvP 900 Distant World 2 explorers have been destroyed by my forces, but I wish to propose a truce

As most are aware, the Distant Worlds 2 (DW2) expedition is currently underway.

Unfortunately, DW2 experienced a rocky start, beginning with the tragic Pallaeni Massacre that took place the very first day. As if that were not heartbreaking enough, an elite assault force began hunting expedition explorers across the galaxy and many more commanders have lost their ship as a result.

In total (as of now), a whopping 898 explorers have been destroyed so far, and the number continues to grow. Evidence of the metric can be seen by looking at the Distant Ganks 2 kill count logs aggregated here: http://roaweb20161109100616.azurewebsites.net/Static/AllKills?from=2019-01-13&to=2099-01-14 (warning slow load time).

What you may not be aware of is that I, The Overlord Zarek Null, have the power to bring all of this needless suffering to an end. The Distant Ganks 2 fleet? They report to ME. They are the commanders that are slaughtering explorers by the hundreds.

I am not an unreasonable person. This assault was initiated for political reasons, and though I had to use overwhelming force in order to get your attention, all I ever really wanted was a civilized, diplomatic solution.

Peace is still within reach. For this reason, I wish to reach out to DW2 leadership and schedule a (Discord) meeting to discuss a non- violent resolution to this harrowing conflict. Or, you can ignore my offer, validating the long held suspicion that DW2 leadership holds a blatant disregard for human life, and stand idly by, witnessing hundreds more die due to your stubborn close-mindedness. The choice is yours.



Sincerely,

Zarek Null

Overlord of the Galaxy

Who cares? Getting killed on the start is really just a rocky street. But we drive offroad dude :D
Good look finding me somewhere within those 400 billion starsystems in a combat fitted ship :D :D :D

Just ignore him, the guy is suffering from delusions of grandeur. Eventually the nice people in white coats will come for him and bring him back to a nice warm, safe, padded room. They'll also have the funny drink and food that makes him sleepy and eventually makes him forget his own name.

Meanwhile....

...somewhere out in deep space two of the distant worlds leaders are having a convo over comms...


leader 1 "whose this Zarek Null person i heard about from bob the janitor"

leader 2 "Zarek who?"

leader 1 "Null"

leader 2 "never heard of her.... one of Yuri Grom's concubines perhaps?"

leader 1 "possibly. but apparently she's killed 900 people in the bubble"

leader 2 "900? impressive"

leader 1 "indeed"

leader 2 "can you imagine her daily diary?.... wake up, brush teeth, breakfast, kill, kill, kill, kill, death, destruction, kill, kill, kill.... lunch.... kill, kill, death, death, lag, lag, kill, discontect, reconnect, kill kill death, death kill... lunch.... watch power rangers, kill, kill, death, death, kill death, kill.... supper... slippers... bed."

leader 1 "indeed. poor girl must be worn out"

....


leader 1 "whoa!!!! look a shiny!"

leader 2 "i'm tagging it!!!"

leader 1"no i saw it first - i tag, you map!... them's the rules!"

leader 2 "aww. oh ok.. :("


...goes back to exploring.

Overlord, it is apparent that those who organize Distant Worlds 2 are incapable of reason. They have proceeded to ban anyone who so dares as to extend their friendship to your forces, without looking to see if anyone is truly guilty of a crime. Do not reason with those who cannot be reasoned with. You must continue your rightful cause!

I feel bad for the PvP murderhobos...

They're become soooooo jealous of explorers, it seems.

I mean, they demand explorers fit good shields, and good weapons, etc etc,

You wanna know the real reason?

Because the PvPers can't keep up!
They want explorers to have lower jump ranges. And have no one to play with.

And y'know what else?
First discovered/mapped. PvPers have no legacy. Explorers live on forever!

I see your agenda, fellas.

Nice try.

:p

Haha your legacy of tagging some rocky world in a backwoods system that zero people will ever see or care about. What an incredible legacy you have!
 
Err! Sorry, what was your name again?

Here's a thought then .. Do you think people who put first discovery / mapped tag in solo or private group should - strictly speaking - only have that show up in that same solo or private game mode and only discoveries made (and maybe cashed) in Open counting to universal tags that would show in all modes. I'm not saying Zarek Null should be stopped or anything but would it trade off explorer's natural ability to jump far out of range and level the field, if the most valuable tags had to be found in the most dangerous environment?

Yeah I know, man. As the brave intrepid soul who first laid eyes on the gem that is LHS 3447 A 4, my name is the first thing many players see when they open up their system map in Trevithick Dock. So I get a lot of random messages in my PS4 inbox asking me how to play.

I of course tell them the two most important things.

1. Never ever ever combat log in open.

2. Acknowledge Zarek Null as supreme overlord, to help avert the impending heat death of the galaxy.

I'd not care, most of my discoveries - when out exploring far from the bubble - have been made in open as the chance of another human contact is so near zero it isn't worth considering :) And it is the most dangerous environment, isn't it? All of the deep-space systems are Anarchy :)

About the only time I'm in Solo or a PG is within 1KLy of the bubble, but I call that self-preservation :)

Yes of course. And that's why nobody has any call to complain - really - if they do meet a Overlord. They could have been in solo. Was just wondering in terms of incentives. Not to avoid Zarek Null by mode switching - but to actively stop him! - if as many people to play Iron Mouse explorer as possible, galaxy / community wise surely the more the merrier are in the same mode. Got there because first tag across modes is more valuable than one that only shows in your own solo mode. I do find it quite surprising that any one can even get Overlorded, when high wake is a thing, anyway though lol. Interesting.

Is it too late to join DW2? I know they said they would be going slow, but I won't be able to make it out there until maybe next month. I want to catch up to the wagon train and do some exploring! I thought it was boring at first but I did my 5000ly to unlock Palin and explored to break the monotony and the bug bit me. I even like mapping!
