Upset about the recent Mobius infiltration? Do something about it.

What's funny (sad?) is that these 20,000 players are "fighting" back against maybe a dozen players by "grouping" in solo mode. It's like that picture of the elephant jumping onto a chair and squeeling because they saw a mouse.
Yah it's all fun and games for the mouse laughing at the elephant.

Until the elephant steps off the chair onto the mouse,,,,,,, :p

Sounds like fun :D "griefing" the griefers.

If they dont like, they can just leave open or something.
No it would be killing the greifers.
Greifing is doing something that has as a goal to upset a player.
However just random killings in open is 100% legit , rude but legit. what the NPC do we can do. in fact frontiere want us to do stuff like that.

You could argue that if the person who is attacking a player is doing so to upset someone then its greifing : true. however 90% of combat in the game for example killing a random sidewinder can have an easy RP reason for it making it non greifing

It's not sad, it's inevitable. The puppy clutch used game mechanics to their best advantage. Those that contribute to this initiative are simply doing the same. Why wage war on the other guy's terms. That would be ridiculous. Why did the wolfpack go around sinking merchant shipping? To prosecute the financial aspect of the war. Just think of us as a modern squadron of submarines fighting a commercial war in Wolfberg, and Dogmaa station. Why would modern sub's fight on the surface?

No we are not grouping in Solo mode, we are grouping in a self proclaimed PVE group mode. No real difference to the so called self proclaimed PVP mode called Open. Self proclaimed as you can see from so many posts on the forums by PVP players who keep calling Open group that.
Solo is a person in a group of one only so please get your facts correct. Seems you edited your post so it showed up different to what you originally posted.

Actually, like SDC they are going to use the game mechanics to their advantage.
And SDC cannot stop what it cannot shoot at. ;)

Also, who said everyone will be in Solo?
A lot of Mobius members have other groups to play with.
I have 6 on my list personally. And no SDC is in any of them. :D

[Edit: Also, I'm not a member of Mobius Gruop - so all 6 are well out of reach of anyone I don't want to play with]

It is sort of a lame and arbitrary limitation, but I'm sure it's to prevent, say, 20,000 players from ruling the universe. That said, it will inevitably decrease by 5% every day unless something breaks.

Probably, it wont break though and the faction wont vanish because whilst inserted factions can lose stations and control they cant be destroyed (only influence driven to zero). If SDC aren't playing the BGS then its unlikely they'll give a monkeys what their influence levels are.

If anything though its probably a relatively interesting BGS experiment for those still interested.

Smiling Dog Crew has 68.8% influence in DOGMAA right now and they are an Anarchy aligned faction. They claim that they do not care about it, but it is due to them having control of that system that is an Anarchy system. If I didnt want people messing with my faction's rep because of something I did then I would also claim that I do not care about it.

Let us see if they still do not care when their influence is 1% and DOGMAA is once again an empire aligned system. Would also benefit Torval in Power Play if DOGMAA was Empire Aligned.

I'm sorry, but that is so naive that it is painful. No, Silk, giving them exactly what they want is not the answer. They want you to come at them, so first and foremost that is the very thing that should be denied them.

Except they don't actually want people coming at them. Griefers are cowards. All bullies are cowards. They'll run away as soon as anyone who is a real threat turns their attention to them.
 
Is anybody thinking about hows this affects the children? WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN? IS ANYBODY THINKING ABOUT THE CHILDREN?

This is as reasonable as comparing a couple of buttwipes on a private group to Hitler.
 
It offers nothing, I didn't even know we had it until today.

It's just the only thing they can grasp onto since they aren't in open to actually do something.

Though I bet they care a lot more about Azrael. I wouldn't spend too much time there in mobius, it won't be safe.

I've reported all three of your thinly veiled threat posts. Clearly you know of or are involved in the attacks in Mobius.
 

"I'm just for an Open game where there are no places to hide.."

Hiding from what ? What this has to do with people who don't want to play PvP, in the first place ?
Is it so hard to understand that others peoples just don't like to play in a PvP mode and because of that they won't play it no matter what ?

Well I meant a game where we share the game universe.. And one where I can see people who are shaping the game wherever they maybe.

"I've often felt that solo and pg remove many gameplay opportunities."
Please , elaborate. What kind of gameplay opportunities do you expect to have from peoples who don't want to have anything to do with PvP in Open Play mode ?

Yeah, so one where I could provide escort services to a fleet of traders, or bounty hunt some bad guys.. Makes the game more interesting and dynamic. Instead, its solo or private group. We'd make friends and enemies but the game would be far more interesting imo.

"I suppose I want more from the game than grinding the PvE.."
Great, it is understandable but what this has to do with peoples who do not want PvP interaction ?

Not much I suppose when you term it like that but the game was acutally developed with the ability to PvP if people choose to. What the mobius group is doing is attempting to play a different way from the way it actually designed. And btw, there have been a ton of things FD have done in that regard to make the game, er, a bit more user friendly. 99.99% of the game being PvE driven already.


"Its not that great imo and despite all of this and what SDC have done, here we are having some interesting political tension. I just think it makes the game more interesting.. "

What political tension are you talking about ? Is there a political debate or something ?
What makes the game more interesting in that case ?

The political tension that doesnt exist between us an the banal and highly tiring PvE system. Unless you are happy with having relatinoships with procedurally generated NPCs which have zero character and longevity. Here we are where a few commanders were killed in Mobius and people are already suggesting ways to respond. That my friend creates for an interesting scenario and perhaps some interesting emergent gameplay. You'd never have that grinding NPCs. ;)

What about those who didn't make it in to your 32 player (inc. you) instance ??

You cannot see them, are they "hiding" from you?

No point looking at the rest, until you explain how 1.4 million copies sold and you can only ever see up to 31 others at a time means a few folks in Solo upsets your game play.

No mate, its genius.
You see the puppies want to taunt people into playing their game.
We all think their game is silly.
They tried to spoil our game.
Now the boots on the other foot.
If it counts for nothing then fine.
I somehow suspect that's not the case.

Course they do. They're in a wing of Condas no doubt. What would they like better than a steady trickle of disorganized, disgruntled, unwinged, pvers coming after them?

Even if a decent group was organized against them, battle with ships that size always sees a high wake when the hull gets into low percents. Very boring.

A battle isn't just won by those that fight you know...so seems perfectly legit way of striking back in my eyes.
