For those who may be late to the party, or are questioning why we are actively seeking to stop The Alley from winning the CoE this year (or any other event we are in).

Bear in mind, this follows shortly after I personally let Velcrotec's gangers live in an earlier deathrally, when I could have easily redded them out.

Par for the course.

I love the way your so called religion antagonizes verbally for a fortnight, then cries "victim" when somebody comes to collect.

Classy... so very classy

No small wonder the pulpit is mired in offal.

*YOU* don't speak for Robin Hood. And I know why Snipe does what he does. He, X-Man, and Rezeak have earned their due respect.

You have not. They put up or shut up.

Your false religion does neither.

Besides I was after the vehicle, not the gangers, else BOTH gangers would died that event.

Not one.

There's my $0.02

Expect no more from me on this matter.

I do speak for Robin Hood, as I am a member of the group.

And I say you are all, to a man, cowards without honor.

And that's why we do what we do.

(And you even failed to get the truck....so...what does that tell you?)

Honestly - the kind of behavior that Blackwill brought up is exactly the reason that Robin Hood was formed. The blatant need to over-shoot at opponents.

I can understand points and all that - but when someone resigns, they are done.

The reasoning that you are collecting "mints" is a weak rationalization. The blowing up of opponents vehicles - especially a "rival" gangs - is totally understandable. The problem is the way it is performed. Example - Longo would get you to demo, then tell you to get out cause he is trashing the car. Yeah, you lose the equipment but gangers are alright - the point is made. To shoot up a car after they demo for no reason other than you want to shoot up their car is low.

The difference is simple.

I like to call it "class".

Still others would call it honor, some civilizations were entirely based around it. Life is about the choices you make- and living with the consequences. The existence of Robin Hood is the result of longstanding actions taken by the Alley, or so it seems to this, thus far, by-standing noob. Not a judgement, so far I have gotten nothing but fair treatment from all I've met, just an observation.

Ah, I finally get it-- since it a "post-pokalops" game, that give you the justification for lying and back-stabbing. After all, it's survival of the fittest, right?

Guess that means everything Juan did was okay, too?

It's clear that how you play a game shows what kind of person you really are.

It may be more accurate to say that someone's online persona reflects the true way someone would behave when no one is looking and repercussions would be minimal to none. This, to me, explains the provocative forums responses and loose gameplay ethics. Decorum is the first casualty in online warfare. Just as in RL, there are sinners and there are saints, the rest reside in interzone.

Well, maybe it's just me then, and I need to be a bigger jerk to keep pace with times.

But I don't want to, which is why I've stayed away from interacting with people here recently.

So, what you are saying is that to be a part of a game that has punks is to be a punk yourself? Well personally I will let the punks be punks - I am not that way. It is very disconcerting to have others dictate your style of play.

To ignore the community itself is not the answer though. This game has kept on BECAUSE of the community. The trend lately of the community to get all introverted is bad in my opinion. To log in and have absolutely no action in the lobby literally for hours has almost pushed me away from the game. This game is full of "good" virtual people - it is just that the "bad" are hard to ignore and they can adversely affect your game playing experience.

What we need to do is get back to the way it used to be. More action in the lobby, not the other way around. The best way to counter the bad experiences is to have as many good experiences as you can. If this describes solo scouting and solo travels - then more power to you. For me, I will keep playing socially and running my mouth. Because that is fun for me and - as I have learned from the hardcore players - this game is all about me (Ha). It just happens that helping others and talking to others is what I consider fun.

Hopefully more will do the same.

This game needs it.

In a way, though, others ARE dictating our playing style, at least in regard to the Robin Hood effort. We have been forced to adopt the wolf-pack mentality of our opponents in order to combat them. We do it in an effort to break the cycle of domineering, no mercy play styles being shown by our opponents, so that we CAN get back to enjoying the game again, as well as giving new players some semblance of a fighting chance. But, we still have to do it their way.

It may take a while, and I may lose my entire gang in the process, but we will prevail, and then we can ALL go back to having fun again...old and new players alike.

Its all just some Role play. Some play very serious, which can be good. Set the bar too high and it becomes silly buggers. A GM is normally around to keep things sensible.

"No you can't do that, we all want to have some fun here." GM shakes head
"Stuff you! I is doing it anyway, this is hardcore gaming man." Mega awesome invincible dude in tights shakes fist
"Ok, you just critical failed and turn into a hermaphrodite with leprosy ." GM pretends to roll dice behind gaming screen
"Thats unfair man." Super Awesome dude chucks toys out of pram
"Well you asked for it." GM tries to interact with one of other players
Super awesome dude in tights protests, hijacking every other conversation, spamming the GM with super mega leprosy attack of doom "No, we put the effort in to win."
"How about put the effort in for everyone have fun. Its a game?" Asks the GM kindly
Super mega awesome Leprosy dude in tights stands there looking stupid

In here we need to keep ourselves in check a bit and not go too overboard.
