Yeah so, the current station is worthless. There is no advantage to owning it and no defense once you do. It is ALWAY conquered when no owners are around, and there's absolutely no way around this save VO suddenly becoming like, popular. Repost this useless topic when owning a station costs something and is worth owning. Until then, preach to your cult strat, and leave the rest of us alone.

Yeah, yeah, whatever. Lots of ego, lots of drama, lots of bullshit. Tell it to someone who cares, why don't you? Strat's saying nothing more than the truth, which as usual you can't handle. Go figure.

shlimazel loves kool-aide

ahahaha deathfluffy deleted his post about CHRN dogma because he realized how ironic it was being in TGFT hahahahahah

No, I deleted my post about CHRN dogma because I honestly don't give a fuck about the conquerable station. Nor do I really give much of a rats ass these days about Vendetta or Vendetta becoming a better game. So why engage in the discussion. The answer was because I was just plain bored at the time along with the delusional hope that someday VO will justify they amount of time I've sunk into it- which continues to keep me from leaving completely. Pathetic and inconsistent I know.

However, for the record my comment was a response to Shlim which went something like...

Actually Shlim, its just their ongoing assault being waged upon anyone they dislike or who dares disagree with CHRN dogma.

So, as you can see, there is nothing ironic in what I said as TGFT does not and has not made a practice of forcing its perspective on the rest of the player base, nor does it engage in brow beating those who disagree with its philosophies. So, if you really feel the need to try and troll me, at least have the whit of intelligence to call in the Dr. My entertainment drops considerably when my opponent is already bent over.

I thought about observing how CHRN's assault is no doubt fueled by their infinite supply of imbecility, but frankly this topic is already far gone enough into the black abyss of topic hell, and has already elicited a dev response. Probably time for a lock, eh?

lol fluffy you mad?

So... we either let everyone get notifications via a built-in game mechanic... or we cede the advantage of notifications to those who employ bots. Seems a pretty simple decision to me.

Of course I want people to log on more... but if there is a way around logging in more (which there currently is), people will use it. Nuff said.

In other news: let's tone down the hostility? It's a game, folks.

Nah Pey, I'm not mad. At least not at you. I'm just bored to tears with Vendetta again. I log in maybe once or twice a week for an hour at most recently and only occasionally check the forums to see what is happening. If I'm mad at anything its the lack of anything interesting for me to do on my favorite game. I've done it all to death and beyond.

I don't care about the conquerable station and have never wanted player owned cap ships with the exception of their hold capacities.

But just so I submit some small value to the subject of this thread,the conquerable station is nothing but a king of the hill scenario in the current incarnation. One presumes that eventually there will actually be a value to taking and holding the station beyond ego. When that day comes players need to know what is happening to it. Obviously most folk who play VO have a real life outside of the game and so may have other things to accomplish but still retain the flexibility to participate in its defense. So a notification for players outside the game seems reasonable. As does a notification for players in game, but off doing other things.

That holding the station will ever have real value is a pretty huge assumption on my part (again, I'm not a fan) So serving as it does as a status symbol, I think the notifications should only go to those in game so that they can return to defend it. Regardless, I think an in-game notification is reasonable. Defenders have a multitude of other methods to notify off line comrades of the need to fight which do not involve more work for the devs.

Atice, I was really enjoying your absence. We got a lot done on these forums without you constantly bitching and picking fights. I should have known it was too good to last.

Amen landron. The Douchebag Brigade was unstoppable.

How will they ever get anything done now that Atice is back?

The fact that people can accomplish out of game notifications with bots anyway does seem like the end of the discussion, but I do feel that something is lost the more reasons we give people to not log in.

Funnily enough, after rereading the entire thread just now I noticed that the majority of the excessively mean spirited comments came from CHRN's RP enemies. So it goes...

but I do feel that something is lost the more reasons we give people to not log in.
Agreed. Though I hope (possibly naively) that having the constant "your base are belong to them" notifications might bring people ingame more often than they would otherwise check... though in all honestly who the hell knows.

note: yes, I know I misquoted. it was a joke. this note is preemptive :p.

I wasn't picking sides. Not every statement of mine is loaded :).

Yeah, I wasn't directing my second comment toward you, Atice.

It's cool. While I know my comments aren't loaded I have a bad habit of assuming everyone else's are :p.

Good to be back. Now, if I may be so bold, back on topic! My bad for meandering.

"Funnily enough, after rereading the entire thread just now I noticed that the majority of the excessively mean spirited comments came from CHRN's RP enemies. So it goes..."

Awww.

"Funnily enough, after rereading the entire thread just now I noticed that the majority of the excessively mean spirited comments came from CHRN's RP enemies. So it goes..."

Gee, I wonder if possibly they could have been a reaction to CHRN's 'excessively mean-spirited' reply to the topic in the first place? Could it be?

Naaaah. Can't possibly be it.

Because tit for tat is a beautiful philosophy that makes the world a better place?

Out of curiosity what is it that we said in reply to the OP that you think is on par with Strat's nasty reply to me challenging the veracity of his assertions and you, Shlimazel, calling us imbeciles?

Well, calling Strat a liar for calling Phlegethon (sp?), who demonstrates every applicable behavior of a bot, a bot, is a pretty decent place to start, Maalik. Stating a fact is not lying, last I checked.

Furthermore, your guild's own actions have led to the insults you receive. If you did something about Lecter, Ladron, and Impavid's relentless trolling, maybe your guild wouldn't get the flak it does.

maalik never called strat a liar for saying phleg was a bot (which he is not) he called him a liar for saying we log on en masse whenever i-8 comes under attack.
