Operation Enigma, breaking the code!

[bitstorm]

The "invasion" occurred much much earlier on, definitely out of the range of "last month."

Interesting. I know of one Code CMDR who attacked a friend in Mobius ~4-5 weeks ago, around the time of the Bast plague CG, and (I think) the attack occurred in Bast, not 100% sure on that though.

I believe he was reported to Mobius along with video footage and was subsequently removed, I do not know if the Code association was passed on to Mobius. I assumed he was reported to Code but thinking about it now why bother? Might as well just report to Mobius and move on.

They still are, however, at the time there was no stipulation against "mode invasion."

LOL

Mommy: "Don't eat any of the cookies before dinner, you'll spoil your appetite."

Child: [eats ice cream and chocolate] "I'm not hungry, Momma!"

Mommy: "I told you not to eat before dinner!"

Child: "You said not to eat the cookies! You didn't say I couldn't have ice cream and chocolate!"

Mommy: *headdesk*

Mommy: *headdesk*

Child: Mommy - one of the cool kids at school invited me round to play this new PC game with him!

Mommy: That's nice dear! What did you both do?

Child: Well he just played the game and made me watch so I could understand what was going on. I got bored of that really quickly, so I unplugged the PC.

Mommy: That was not very nice of you! You should go back and apologise immediately!

Child: He says I am not to come back, ever.

Mommy: Why not?

Child: I ate all his Mommy's ice cream and barfed on the carpet.

Hey, when you're quoting someone's post for rebuttal, can't you quote the post instead of leaving "fold" in the quote box? I know you know how to do it; you do it about 1/2 the time. Really would help if you'd actually put the words you are quoting in the box. Otherwise it just looks lazy or shifty.

Oh, if that is the case do PM me about the details and perhaps file a formal complaint on our forum. We will be happy to look into that.

I will take that into consideration, but since it's a personal preference, I will exercise my discretion.

Well, it's new to me and I must say I find the botched up verbal acrobatics delicious. Especially the talk of "goodwill", can't get enough of it

Totally hilarious! *extends popcorn box*

That doesn't matter. In PR it's all about what the public thinks, not what you think.

+repped and just had to quote this!

 

[relayer]

OK, hand up who wants GluttonyFang to change his user name to 'The talking prune'? Now that would be a PR coup.

BEST LAUGH OF THE DAY! +rep

 

[Asp Explorer]

In all fairness and respect to Gluttony - he does seem like some Comical Ali figurehead, issuing propaganda and handling public relations for the regime, whilst perhaps not in full possession of the facts of the matter.

It is excellent entertainment though.

Please read about uniformitarianism and its criticisms and the problem with ampliative inference, Cartwright anti-fundamentalism views might also help you to realize how that argument can be flawed.[/QUOTE]

I say again, please stop with your superfluous recondite Daedalean verbiage. It's counterfactual to the argumentation and bothersome. We can all espy you've been to the halls of ivy. You're wigwagging the gonfalon of your highbrowed grandstanding only brandishes your egotistical hyperbole and is not conducive to the current disputation.

I think I will disregard your philistinism attitude. The concept of counterfactual itself doesn't seem to be fully understood by you, you may refer to Laudan's underdemination to a better idea. Also, it's clear that you don't have a firm grasp on the concept of "patchwork of law" by Cartwright from your reply.

 

[relayer]

I can assert that in my multiple interactions with Fang he's never come across as thinking himself better than someone else

Wow, I guess you're missing the completely-obvious intellectual snobbery in his posts...

"Wow, I guess you're missing the completely-obvious anti-dilettante snobbery in your posts..."

See what I did there?

I'll disregard the personal attacks, please do not derail the thread.

And what, pray tell, were those? I deliberately chose the style you are posting to point out your own sly personal attacks. Please read your own posts for more information. Twas pure critique and demonstration.

Also, the question you are bringing up are not relevant and is better addressed in a private message.

How's that? Your sig is public and symbolic. I just asked you to clarify.

I enjoyed the comedy, however, I would like to emphasize that ex post facto law is a concept we do not adapt for a reason, as many other real life countries have also demonstrated.

Comedy? I assure you, sir, 'twas not comedy but sarcasm.

Please refer to the previous comment.

Please refer to mine also. Ta.

Well, it does tend to make your arguments hard to follow; I'm sure you can see that.

I'm anti-dilettante too!

You can't eat (most) art, and you can't make a living by not even understanding it to any meaningful (to others) degree. Mind you, someone could always be a hipster indep-movie critic and make a fortune by reviewing the works of others. Beavis and Butt-head were rather good at it

I don't dismiss people's opinions as "jargon, cheap Latin and other verbal tricks best used by pre-law students or sophomoric debating tactics."

I'm certain of that, so please read your own posts for more information.

How's that? Your sig is public and symbolic. I just asked you to clarify.

Irrelevant to the topic at hand, like I said, find the appropriate channel for that inquiry.

Comedy? I assure you, sir, 'twas not comedy but sarcasm.

And sarcasm cannot be considered a type of comedy? My, how narrow-minded...

Please refer to mine also. Ta.

Please refer to my explanation, thank you very much.

And that's okay, but someone here apparently thinks it's ground for launching personal attacks and expressing malice through it, the very symbol of intolerance.

Actually, I've been turning your own ideas, style of reply, ommisions and the rest back on you. I guess you can't take it when it's mirrored back.

When was Mobius added to the equation? OP is asking individiuals as an individual. Arn't you mixing things up?

Good point, I said solo or groups. I did read ahead on phone but back on pc now.

I am a member of solo, open, mobius and a few other private groups, my posts are my own and not representative of any of the groups I belong too, unless I state otherwise.

I would like to apologise personally to Mobius if he got dragged into this, or does at any point in the future, it was not my intention. There still seems to be a misunderstanding that Mobius is a guild rather than a private group, now if Mobius said "I would prefer it if you would not do that in my group", I would 100% respect his wish, BECAUSE I RESPECT HIM, he earned it, he started a group for people who wanted a PVE experience and did an FANTASTIC JOB!, 11k clicks (more time than I spent on Hutton, I got top 5 % in my first CG), that's respect, not fear of consequences. If Mobius said "I want you all to support the Empire in this GC and deliver slaves", I would respectfully decline

That said I would be at liberty to make my own group for the task and invite those I want to fly with in an anti code private group, but that's my business.

Again, some of us merely expect goodwill.

As a reminder, FD made it very clear that they will be adjusting the mechanic to prevent solo/group/open underming causing players to not be able to do anything to stop undermining efforts.

This, as well, none of what c48113 mentioned are exploits by FD's definition.

Can you supply a link to the post mentioning this mechanic please, I am most interested, as is my brother and his mate John, apparently Paul is intrigued too, but he is on night shift this week, Paul reckons there is no adjusting mechanic, Paul is a bit obsessive, lets prove him wrong before he gets back on day shift and gets us all involved in his obsessive BGS testing, If Paul sees a weakness he will hunt it down, I would hate for you to be wrong, if Paul gets wind of it you are in trouble, on the positive side he cooks a mean barbie and is a real joker.

I'm not sure how in-depth you understand the Power Play mechanic, but here:

Will Minor Factions/ Powers have alternate methods of expansion than the current Top 10 Powers? Say, Anarchists spreading through cop-killing, Democrats via elections, etc.

The mechanisms will be the same as the current powers.

 

[Asp Explorer]

I must admit - I'm still confused as to why Code would ask of goodwill from a purely PvE group who maintain their own rules and keep themselves to themselves when playing in their PvE group.

It's not like there is any possibility of the Code (in Open) interacting with anybody in Mobius (in Mobius Private Group) unless a Code member is in Mobius Private Group (in which case they are a Mobius member and bound by their rules) or both are in a different Private Group (which will have it's own rules), or both are in Open (which has no rules).

Please explain to me what is meant to be achieved by a memorandum of understanding here?
