Which is great. I sincerely wish you much success with this project of yours.
Same goes for the challenge you had, have(?) about giving away LTDs to folks who successfully destroy you.
IIRC, threeofnine once did this livestreamed event in which you had to destroy him before he reached a certain station. I personally gave it my best shot and it was really fun.
I don't think we've ever properly met one another.
In fact, a lot of folks have yet to meet you based on your EDR sightings
A lot of what you may have read about "us" is biased. There is also a ton of missing context.
I mean, I'd take with a grain of salt anything that's coming from folks who don't mind saying things as bad as "I loathe you are still breathing" to one of our pilots. I don't think anyone deserve to hear that, neither should anyone be so upset about a game to resort to that, even if drunk or baked.
We are capable of agreeing on common grounds / arbitrary rules for the benefit of mutual fun. In fact for a long time, we have done (and still do) that with specific groups, and it's fun. Sadly, one such group suddenly started to throw insults and unsubstantiated claims about our group, as well as impersonating us or claiming that we were to blame for their actions,etc. Outside of the game, it's even worse. So, why would we bother trying to be amenable with such players? The ball is on their side: they just need to stop their in-and-out-of-game bad attitude.
Just look at what some of them came up with to rationalize why they have blocked me in-game: "holding a broken CZ instance" during the Code war in Riedquat.
I looked into my player journal and found out that, on the first day of the conflict, on my first ever instance, it only took 1 minutes 30 seconds for one of them to make the bold claim that I was holding a broken instance of a CZ and therefore "abusing" the system. I know nothing about BGS. I was doing recon and anchoring my friends. We eventually left 5 minutes after I first dropped. Then we came back and these folks were still in their broken instance (without anyone of us AFAIR). They did that (complaining about a broken instance) for what looks like almost 30 minutes... They should have just switched to a different CZ, or even go into PG/Solo for that matter. Honestly, we had the same issues of broken CZ (not resetting, or not completing), we didn't blame Fdev's bugs / design mistake on others, we just went to a different CZ or did other things.
If the mere act of dropping into an occupied CZ (to bring your wing, or slow down the progress by dropping mines or whatever, or even try to do the CZ), can put you at risk of being called an abuser and getting blocked, then that's nonsense. If these folks didn't want to be bothered, then why did they play in open in the first place?
To this day, most of them are still blocking me despite the fact that the war has been over for almost 2 months
It's always the same: jumping to conclusions, generalizations, don't do what I do, etc.
