We are neutral in this conflict and will remain so "as a guild" but we also do not like to tell our members how they want to think or act until such time as it comes in contest with what is best for all of us.

For example. If Mecha, Denj, and I decided to destroy all itani who oppose the serco nation with no regaurd for the rest of our guild. That would clearly show as not being "neutral" in the conflict. Making the decision to trade etc. for your home nation does not mean you support the war just the folks with the same chat color.

Maybe I could have worded it better, Ryan.

Corvus News Network posts, just by way of example, are worth reading and enjoyable -- in no small part because they are well written.

Is a basic command of the English language too much to ask from you? This drivel you've posted is offensively bad, regardless of whether it was intended to be a funny commentary on current events, or just a commentary on current events.

Do yourself and your readers a favor: create your RP posts using a word processor, then paste and add formatting as need be. Also, try reading it to yourself, aloud. And make sure you do it so as to read what is actually written, not what you think you wrote.

"PA used to be a respected guild. Why do you allow Ryan to still be abort of it? I was under the impression you were neutral in the war. Has that changed? If so when? If not when will you expel Ryan and try to get a part of your reputation back?"

Though I do not make PA policy, it is my understanding that all members of PA are entitled to free speech and to their own opinions.
Phoenix-Alliance is neutral in the war...we have members of all nations in our ranks and we have people who trade with all sides. There will always be differences of opinions between guild members, guilds and pilots. I am sorry if you can not understand this and would use it as an excuse to murder a peaceful trader, though I do appreciate the warning that I am KoS with you. I suspect the added danger will make VO, absolutely no different than usual.

UIT ACTION NEWS: on a personal note...probably not for publication...is S*rb**s as big a douche bag as he seems?

FUROR POETICUS: ive never really spoken to him. i have heard he IS an ******* though. if it matters i have peacefully hailed when ive seen him...he never responds.

I'm not an *******, I'm a prick, get it right next time.

UIT Action News would like to make the following correction. Surbius, is in fact not a ******* but in fact he is a "prick".

However, in fairness to Surbius...UIT Action News would like to extend the offer of an interview. If he would like to accept the offer, just contact Ryan reign when he is on.

I may just take you up on your offer, however, it would put a short interruption in my current hiatus from the norm.

The Devs could use the money but I'll have to think it over considering you state this but then you do this.

Sort of contradictory don't you think?

So there's a bit of ill will between us, i would never let that come between myself and a potentially interesting story. let me know, what ever you decide.

Oh that all depends on if you're going to make it worth my while.

Considering I would have to spend $10 just to talk to you of all people.

;)

well, I am willing to negotiate...if its reasonable.

How about 100 million?

100 thousand and the chance to do some good for TGFT

A mocking offer and to think you actually tried to extort this guild once, you lack depth.

"you actually tried to extort this guild once"

If by that you mean, offered information on what seemed a viable threat which you could be better prepared to face by having advanced knowledge...then I suppose you could really make use of a dictionary...as you seem to be confusing "extort" with "sell your guild useful information".

Well, I made the offer and you asked a price which precludes any any answer but no. It's better this way as I don't trust you to be honest in the first place.

Extort seems to fit nicely in the sense you tried to use whatever ingenuity you possess to obtain anything of value from TGFT for information you attempted to argue with us saying it was important and while demanding money for this information with an asking price in the millions but soon after you dropped well below your original asking price (a near 90% reduction in price) when confronted about your demands (offer or not). With those details in mind, most would conclude you were seeking money through forceful means of intimidation with information and only your word, which lacks greatly then and now, to insure your information and can be construed as extorting.

EDIT: I'm done with you. This was fun to begin with but you simply lack depth in this conversation and only seem to seek me out as your vendetta against me over pettiness rages on and sadly through relation drag others into it where they are not responsible nor needed.

-"Have a nice day."

And so the thread spirals out of control into true hate mongering. Alas there were the attempts to make amends and yet cultural bias has struck again. Will there be no end to the hostilities between the pilots of the occasionally friendly void, or all we all doomed to be accused of drivel and slander of all things.

The exchange of information as well as trade goods on the free market hold only the value you entrust, and nothing more. Alas JB your hate for PA has been long indeed and now even less focused although you seem to getting rather less articulate in your ire. To the pilots of tgft I once knew you to be relatively honorable and from what recent events have come to show the hypocrisy and two faced dealings alas your color means more now than ever as you show how tarnished gold can be.

JB i used to enjoy flying with you but now, you have fallen back to the darkness from whence you arose may you carry swarms again with pride and joy as you attempt a slaughter of those innocent and naive.

I don't know if a thread that's been quiet for 3 days really counts as spiraling out of control... and as the self-appointed crusader against slander and drivel maybe you would like to elaborate on what you mean by "hypocrisy and two-faced dealings"?

P.S. Where's Miex? He is sorely missed.

ArAel: I don't hate PA. I respect PA thats why i was wondering why they kept Ryan. I was under the impression that PA was sort of neutral in the Itani/serco war, Like TGFT and VPR.

I don't like ryan or serco scum. But i'm not a pirate. I don't immediately attack serco in Grey, especially noobs. And I think ryan is just trying to sling propaganda against the great Itani nation.
