Mercenaries of Mikunn - The Background Simulation and Colonization Test

[Walt Kerman]

No, I believe you will keep trying, but if you take away the purpose of our group, the only purpose we will have will be anti Archon. And it wont be the fun kind, it will be the make you fortify-kind every week. I don't think either of us want this.

So here is my proposal. We have our little scrap (I'm honestly intrigued if we can put in more merits than your entire power - its a game), and you can keep trying until you succeed. You only need to succeed once to win as the game puts us at an extreme disadvantage.

Once you inevitably win:

• we don't undermine your systems in return for you not screwing with our minor factions.
• If you don't expand further that still gives us an area to experiment with the BGS unaffected by powerplay, which we will find acceptable.

You want Wadir, fine. But you are going to have to earn it.

Hey Withnail! You were in Wadir on the first night, hope you took your flag with you when you fled.

But I'd prefer if you weren't an 'open play first day' type of commander. Our guys roam freely around Wadir in your prime time, we should meet again some time?

In other words the same offer you gave us, with the exception that I want to see how this tug of war plays out. It's done wonders for our groups activity. I haven't been able to field three wings rolling at once in the same system for multiple days in a row in quite some time... until this week.

Was in a PvE python and then got some unlucky hits on first encounter with the FAS. I tried to take you on 1v1 but you boosted until your wing turned up. It's up to you to kill me if all you can do is 2 or 3 v 1, can't blame someone for escaping those odds.

I was in open in that system for 3 hours last night.

We have to earn all our expansions. Ask the Empire.

Must have unluckily missed you somehow last night, perhaps we can meet up today. Yeah we do get a few guys in open. If you don't want to fight against odds you could go somewhere else?

Lol. I was thinking much the same thing when you were boosting away.

Thats quite funny, everyone outnumbers us, even you guys.

 

[bigity]

How dare you not stay and face 4 to 1 odds and deny them some kind of bragging rights!

 

[Walt Kerman]

No need to chest beat people... you can do it over PM

We know where each other are in game too.

 

[pica pica]

Out of curiosity, why don't your cmdrs have a tag that other player groups have ([WT], [TOC], etc)?

You mean like [MERC] in game? Wouldn't that require an account restart?

I've been having a lot of fun guys, though I wish PP provided more variation.

 

[Walt Kerman]

Im assuming here, since no one responded to my proposal that you aren't accepting it.

 

[Walt Kerman]

Congrats. That was an impressive 100k+ snipe.

 

[fergal]

Congrats. That was an impressive 100k+ snipe.

I don't think it was 100k, but thanks.

We will see soon who actually wins, but it was a very good arm wrestle all week ling with you guys.

Personally I thought all of you would be grinding away in solo/private all week long, we face massive opposition from the Empire in most of our expansions, but I've never had so much PvP all week long.

Soda Popinski, I don't know what you are doing pledged to Mahon, come join the Kumo Crew, you are one of us

"Im assuming here, since no one responded to my proposal that you aren't accepting it."
I thought what you said wasn't a proposal, just what you would be doing, I didn't realise you wanted an agreement with us.

As I said before, if we win Wadir, we have no more territorial ambitions past Wadir towards you Home System.
If you give us a list of other systems with your minor faction in it we can see where they are and if they might be an issue in the future.

 

[Walt Kerman]

You went from lower 2000% to 3900%. Considering it was about 6000 merits per 100% I think you pulled a little over 100k merits in one day.

As for the peace treaty... I think we had too much fun to call it at that. It's a game, and if you don't mind I think we will find another suitable expansion to oppose or something. I'll see you in open eventually

You lost this battle but there is always something you can do to prevent AD from further expansion - UNDERMINE their systems. All you need is to hit 100% undermining in their systems. But snipe and give your merits at the end of the cycle rather than give them straight away (you oppose a major power that can respond quickly if they see what's going on). If you undermine 100% and they don't fortify they lose a lot. Make them bleed. They lose money even if they fortify undermined system.. And most importantly if they have no money from their systems they won't be able to expand further.

Wadir was crowdy last cycle, lots of cmdrs in one system

If we go against an expansion, or plan some PVP with the Archon folks we will let Rootsrat know, I would love to wing up with you guys again. I'm glad you had fun. I need to talk with some of the others, including Rootsrat about what we want to do.

I'll probably start dabbling in power play some more. This is the first time I got to tier five.

 

[withnail]

Good fight this week. It was good to fight someone other than the Empire for a change.

With regards to future conflict, we're not interested in anymore systems in your direction so I see no reason to blow this out of proportion.

If you want to organise an event for PvP etc that is fine by us.

You wouldn't want to anyway. We have spent the last year making this area bad for Archon control specifically, though you probably notice that now.
