so im kinda new still here- but play VO more than anyone i bet- ive been here since may and have the greatest time- i didnt get a chance to voice my opinion as i feel i have the PRIVELEGE to do because VO has a message board- 'thank you guild software' this is the most amazing/interactive/actively involved game IMHO-
--i woudl llike to make a statement about the AROLTE SYNDROME as i liek to call it-- AROLTE IS A TERRORIST in the universe--well- what to americans do when terrorists invade our soil?- we go start a WAR- and THAT is real PVP and roleplaying- keep it in the game- DAMn guys- why are you whining?- this universe is like 30 systems huge- you cant find a way to avoid him?- hey i have had my share of being jacked and frustrated and terroriszed and pirated and EVERYTHING- but that is what a terrorist does- creates frustration/fear/terror!!!
the fact that some key players actualy left is pathetic- simply weak and pathetic- do what starbucks ninja did and for a guild to destroy Arolte- even though i disagree with SN- that is still IN GAME-
Mr. john incarnate- i know that losing some players because of arolte hurts business--but dude- this is action!- and people talk about this- and maybe this is better for the future- i would just voice an opinion that this game is NOT broken- it is amazing and you have created something that i really enjoy- i am asking for you to keep your integrity on your vision of this game- only the strong survive in game- and teh strong ones and the SMART ones can deal with the aroltes of VO-
--i know my opinion is different than alot of other people's in the game- but hey - we are dealing with politics now- and this is great- VO is really becoming a community of real people- but dont leave the game because of disagreements- you cant jsut leave your country because of people that you dont like or the laws that are made-
thank you to anyone who read this

Hi mikmouse

Thanks for your comments. You've probably noticed that the Vendetta forums have been blissfully quiet about this issue for a few days. Part of that is because the discussion has moved here: http://www.itanialliance.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=37 and part is because tempers have cooled and the healing has begun. This isn't to say that the issue is resolved, by any means.

Please check there for the most current thoughts and post your comments there. I don't want to squelch you here, but I also don't want to start another round of this based on old info. There will be a time, soon I hope, when such things can be discussed (here) rationally, without a lot of emotion attached.

I regret that I must lock this.
