Calling all Imperials... Let’s save Aisling tomorrow!!

[Diostar50]

I'm just going to say this. I personally dislike Nightshady with a passion, but when I agree with him, you know something is really off.

This community has been a complete embarrassment in regards to this event. This is the same community that got hyped up for the Salami event to the point where it got covered in official news. But someone tries to do a silly B-level villain event and you (as a community) flame and attack him cuz it's roleplay raah rah. Think you guys can do better? Then do better.

Otherwise, quiet down. Everyone that participated had fun.

Salomé, not Salami and you can't compare the two events. One had 3000 people taking part and a two year backstory leading up to it and a book introducing the characters to the elite universe. Its easy to see why it got the hype and media attention it did. It earned it. This event is a brave but amateurish attempt to do something similar and i salute those involved because since Drew W left this game and took his characters with him, the game hasn't had any characters worth a mention - even the blue haired one is a non-entity for majority of players (just a guess). maybe its a start of some proper heros and villans storytelling though.

Yes that would pretty much be it.. name calling is toxic and adds nothing to intelligent debate..

[haha][haha][haha][haha]

What debate? There is no exchange of ideas here. No position to pro and con. Some guy unilaterally declares he's an overlord and abducted a major NPC in the game and another group wants to take him on. Fine, go have fun.

But you want to get serious? Personally, I find Zarek Null's video sexist and offensive. He made the video and the assets in it. The Aisling look-alike has a chest that looks like it's going to explode - which, btw, looks nothing like the real NPC. And she is all meek and helpless and we have to save her. Ugh.

Wow... fragile egos here.

 

[Arry]

Wait! What? The princess was kidnapped? Why wasn't I informed?

Basically because she wasen't kidnapped. We don't know who has been 'kidnapped', but like most things associated with this Commander; she looks a little below par.

As you may or may not know, Overlord Zarek Null has kidnapped Aisling Duval. Today, forces from the 13th Legion Imperial combat wing chased Zarek across the Galaxy in an effort to rescue Aisling. We managed to get his shields down and have him spilling cargo, but Aisling’s cryo-pod was not among the spilled cargo and he managed to escape.

Tomorrow at 8pm GMT, Zarek will be leaving from HR 1183, and we have one more chance to stop him and rescue Aisling. Zarek is flying with about 10-12 mercenary pilots who are defending him.

If you would like to participate in trying to save Aisling, meet at HR 1183 at 7pm GMT. 13th Legion pilots all have [13th] in their ship name, such as [13th] Warlock. Message any 13th Legion pilot you see and we can get you involved in this awesome community event.

A good ship loadout would have at least a 20ly jump range (Zarek’s Conda jumps around 21-22ly) and a good fuel scoop. An interdictor is a must. Getting the Princess out will require either A) plenty of hatch breaker limpets, B) dropping Zarek shields and disabling his ship. Load up with hatch breaker limpets and/or reverberating cascade torpedoes.

If you don’t have a great ship, you can still participate and play a big part. Equip a cheap, fast ship with an interdictor so that you can interdict his escorts to make it easier for the Imperial strike force to take down Zarek.

This community event was a blast today, and it’s not too late for YOU to be a part of it. So let’s go Imperials... let’s be the hero our Princess needs. See you in HR 1183!

If I help, will you give me 25 Modular Terminals?

When you get her back I imagine she'll be more in need of someone to be her baby daddy than a hero.

Ummm...
What?
You don't get it?

Here. Let me make it simple for you:
1. Evil Overlord

2. Hot babe

3. EVIL OVERLORD!

Now do you get it?

I may be a bit slow here but what, in actuality, has happened here.

Is it just people chasing some guy? How has he kidnapped the blue-haired person? I'm not really sure how these things work.

Nothing has happened. It's a made up story about a wannabe overlord and a make-believe kidnapping thats actually turned into an event with some other shady people of nights..

Where this should really be is here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/forumdisplay.php/64-Lore-and-Roleplay
As it is entirely non-cannon and roleplaying with bits of the universe...

Or a community event over here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/forumdisplay.php/100-Community-Events-Media-amp-Creations


Either/or really but DD isn't really the place for it. Then again anything and everything goes in DD so what do I know

 

[Enderby]

Oh, so it is actually nothing at all. Thanks for explaining.

 

[Smecca is BMFE]

It's SALOMÉ not SALAMI EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SHOW SOME RESPECT.

Zarek Null's in game behavior is a clear indicator of who he is IRL. Definitely not someone I'd want to drink a beer with!

Don't call Zarek Null nothing.

Is it tomorrow yet?

But "Null" is right there in his name!

c'mon mate keep up.

The value, or number, zero is not the same as the digit zero, used in numeral systems using positional notation. Successive positions of digits have higher weights, so inside a numeral the digit zero is used to skip a position and give appropriate weights to the preceding and following digits. A zero digit is not always necessary in a positional number system, for example, in the number 02. In some instances, a leading zero may be used to distinguish a number.

 

[StarfireIX]

Not in Galnet = didn’t happen.

Does anything ever happen on GalNet? Lol...

Besides, it's no longer for the community since the Thargoids started showing up.

To be honest I have no idea what I just said there.

I knew it when I read it. I thought to myself, where did he google that? So far away from your usual writing style. Of course it didn't take me long to realise it's the wikipedia definition of zero. Sorry to spoil the method.

So BFD, yeh, he is just as bad at the moves, he googles the plot and then tells everyone. lol

jk mate

GalNet is Fake news. They are controlled by the <*insert common conspiracy faction here*>. We will never learn the truth from GalNet.
(Except perhaps from the undercover news reporter: Dexter Monterrey.)

Any news about her well being? Any Signs Of Life? (SOL).

It's all good. not knowing what I say or why seems to be my natural state of being. Constantly amaze myself with how I stumble through a situation and it happens to work out somehow. Cheers.

Years ago when I used to race mountain bikes, the boy I did most of my training with was a bit like that... One day in the pub he said something ludicrous I called him out on it "Ya cannae be saying stuff like that" to which he replied "I love listening to myself, I never know what I'm going to say next".

 

[Lily from anim.o.v.e]

LOl, the pilots federation doesn't give a crap about members shooting each other and being pirates and worse. Why would someone give a little madman control over them just because he kidnapped some empire princess? Would make sense if he would have claimed something that made sense. But then he is mad, so thats probably what mad people do.
