M.Duncan, im sorry, but if i see (or have previously seen, as its obvious IA/VPR do not now deserve it) a member of the Itani, or UIT nations caught up in a fight, or botting, or doing something real dumb, like shooting at defence bots (i had stated my intentions), I let them carry on about there buisness, and actually havent pirated at all recently... if you consider my participation in CTC piracy then i put the same stamp on the IA, what do VPR say to that.

OK, this past week has been a totally different story, see this thread for your reasons why I went back to piracy.... I like being hunted, and had said pilot wanted to fight me, i would have obliged.

Saying your a known pirate, but then saying we know you were not pirating at that time, is not really a good answer (he knew i was not there to cause trouble, regardless of his words, as did everybody tuned in on channel 100) well then, so i cant ever stop being a pirate? so whats the point in this entire alliance? No way im going to leave from this vendetta due to being shot at/hunted, i like the attention, so the only thing I can now do is pirate. So your alliance is actually encouraging piracy now,... hmmm, and your own words back that up.

[Edit]

Hey, I may even get really drunk and write this into my profile =D

[Edit 2]

Shooting the Serco convoy and stealing the cargo IS a form of piracy, IA only need make sure their transport gets home, if they were a defence guild only, i would have no issues with this alliance.

[Edit 3]

I know 100% that if i started flying round shooting 0/0/0/0/0 players in busses I would be kicked and dealt with, its not that reason i dont do it, im just glad you can see levels these days, so saying one persons actions cannot reflect on a whole guild is total nonsense.

[Edit 4]

Today as a Serco at -1000 Itani, knowing the risks, I showed a total newb Itani pilot how to warp, I was surrounded by defence bots, how many IA can say the same?

Well Smittens.

May I just ask, what were you bribed to do? As Black Lance treasurer I can assure you our bank has under 1 million in it at the moment. I personally have over 40 mil but that's my personal stash and it'll be a cold day in hell before you see any of that. :P

Softy2: You are the exception that *proves* the rule. ;)

Yeah Smittens, only Martin has authority when it comes to our cash. No one else could offer anything. And I happen to know that I never did. So if didn't come from the commander, or the richest player, then its a bit moot.

I don't know if you are misremembering the events. IA at some point
asked me for cash for their capship fund. At which point I laughed and asked "why?". They told me that if we donated they would leave us alone when they got their capship.

I just laughed again and informed them that we had a great deal of funding, and that it was unlikely that their capship would be particularly fearsome.

IA with a capship I would find "extremely threatening" <-- sarcasm intended.

It just means that for one BOOM we get a lot more PK's. :D

It does mean you can go BOOM in style though.

Smittens :

Well, can you tell me who is that dimwit BL member who tried to bribe you? Because I have less than 250k and I would dearly like to pirate him/her for that cash.

Thank you.

Holden, you can always pie-rat me or Martin. although I'm down to under 20M these days.

I find it funny that Black Lance is a bigger threat in the eyes of the IA than the Sercos are.

I hereby formally declare Corvus to be the 4th nation.

So where's our neut3's? We can provide heaps of purified xith to build them :D.

me thinks the serco nation need to wake up, smell the coffee, and prove martin wrong.

And I would not mind an answer to my post VPR, especially about the IA effectivly *pirating* our transports?

I am going to lay off the UIT nation for a few reasons, none of them being VPR related, the main one being im hoping for at least some UIT co-operation with the CTC transports (or just stay out of the way of the Serco one), and for them not to attack our flagship. I did attack a VPR yesterday who was in a ship that i knew i could pop in a relative short time, and actually did, today I saw the same piot, I even followed him about abit, he didnt attack me, I didnt attack him - he did question my ethics (I was killing UIT station guards to top up a bounty, im sorry, its either that or UIT players, im sure I know which the VPR prefer) but i hope this is a sign, because if you let me, I can easily not be a pirate, but siding with my enemy makes me very nervous.
