I disagree bizzle only speaks for CK, no one else in MercStar

Every leader of MS only speaks for their sub-group...but we all agree that folks should be allowed to play the game however they want. If folks want to rally together, great. If they want to fight or make divisions, fine. We all get to play this game how we want, a right we certainly reserve for our own Unit. That is why I am making it clear in these forums that MS supports any inter-unit activity, whether or not we take part in it. We always have, and I don't see this stance changing any time soon.

While I certainly disdain the name calling and false rumors and witch hunts folks like to direct our way as a unit, the way some of you guys join them, in "negative troll land", does nothing to help...it just creates more drama. MS does not wish to be represented in this way. If you want to slug it out, do so without invoking our team name, because when MS fights on the MWO battlefield we do so with respect for everyone in the game.

So you speak for MS now? Or does hybrid? Or does nobody? I'm confused. Apart from being able to slap -MS- on as many planets as possible, why does MercStar exist?

Indeed, I agree. The amount of misconstrued information regarding MS especially the stuff that seems to be spreading in CW is pretty astounding. Its really too bad an individual deleted a post with all kinds of incriminating evidence

Given than most of it is coming from MS members, I'm not sure it's misconstrued.

Meet me behind the hill, with a gauss rifle. We'll discuss your claim on our worlds.

Road it was nothing of the sort, it is exactly what happened. An individual unleashed a tantrum on the forums, when he was cornered about his actions he admitted damning evidence and then when that was pointed out and he was humiliated he deleted the post. Thats it the long and the short of it.

Ah, thought it had something to do with this thread.

Carry on.

I speak for the trees. But seriously, I am part of a council of folks that represent MS. Hbizzle, Hann Solo, Antonius Rex, DeathlyEyes, Gordon Gecko, Saace, Jon Stormbringer, SilentWolff, Xavier....these are the folks who represent the units of MS. Antonius Rex is our Diplomat hostest with the mostest and contacting him usually clears up any confusion, but the other leaders listed are equally as helpful.

Like any team MS exists because most of us enjoy playing the game together.

Which could have been done just as easily without having everyone playing under -MS- tags, could it not?

Given that, it's not hard to see why people might think -MS- exists just to put tags on planets. bobF certainly does; he apparently thinks that a players opinion is invalid if their unit has none.

Is there a problem with us forming a large and quite cohesive community for the purpose of having fun in a video game?

I don't know, apparently MS had a problem with others doing it?

Sorry, I should be specific. A bunch of MercStar affiliated players, who may or may not speak for MercStar, had a problem with it, while another bunch of MercStar affiliated players, who may or may not speak for MercStar, didn't have a problem with it, but when that ambiguity caused some tension, another bunch of MercStar affiliated players, who may or may not speak for MercStar, had a problem with it just because they weren't invited.

Does that about sum it up?

Care to point to anywhere any member of MS has ever said that anyone forming a large unit under one tag for the sake of having fun was not ok?

You cant? Oh thats right, because nobody has.

[MischiefSC]

A lot of the drama is created by ms folks, either trash talking in forums or matches.

Then someone level headed and reasonable comes along and says "nah, that ain't us, not who we are or what we are about".

Problem is that in this very thread you can look 2 posts up and see someone from MS doing what the reasonable guy says they don't do or say.

Hybrid and Salty Bob are 100% as representative of MS as Axe2Grind is.

No stonger than the weakest link, good for the goose is good for the gander, etc.

Any group is comprised of the people in it. You don't get to have people with the MS logo on acting a certain way and bragging up their MS membership and then come in and say " yeah he's MS and he says and does that cuz that's just how they are but MS doesn't do that".

Yes, yes it does. Its members do whatever they want and it has nor enforces nor even acknowledges no standards for behavior. Everyone does and acts how they please.

And that is 100% okay. Nobody is required to be anyone else's nanny. MS as an org isn't about a standard or calibur of membership; it's about quantity and leveraging quantity to its advantage.

Not something to apologize for. Just saying be honest about it. Thoses guys are every bit what MS is about as anyone else is. Better or worse you are the company you choose to keep.
