Man what is it with you and Willie Wonka? Aren't there other men wearing purple suits and dismissive expressions that would work just as well?

I will try to find one.

Yeah getting good at a game instead of crying about the words its player-base types is pretty high-level tactical coordination, I know it sounds crazy, but maybe you could give it a shot instead of threatening to report people on a public forum like a prepubescent child.

You are so concerned with who is "defending terra" that you attack us instead of defending against the clans? Give me a break. Marik has gone back on their word regarding their willingness to return wormhole planets as we agreed upon before the wormhole experiment ever started. This above everything else shows that you can't trust the purple pidgeons.

I'm sorry, what? Are you ACTUALLY lecturing Marik for not fighting the Clans when all you have done the last few weeks is RUN from them by attacking south into Davion space?

Nobody wants you to do this.

So if some people don't like profanity or behavior they find abusive, they need to change so that they match what you enjoy.

Huh. You guys keep saying 'nobody' and 'everybody' when only describing yourselves.

Don't forget to follow up with an attempt to use an ad hominem to dismiss or somehow devalue what anyone else says. That way you can try to look like you're arguing something without ever having anything relevant, useful or worthwhile to say.

Then end with the double-whammy of

'personal insult intended to create an emotional response'

followed by:

'admonition that anyone who has an response to something said on forums is wrong and broken'.

that always works and comes across as cool and edgy. Hip even.

I am HK high command, one of the six members of it. There was mention of Seraphim coming a while back, but it never materialized for weeks after the posts were made, and it was a surprise to me at least to see you all over with us. We always welcome and respect mercenaries who go out of their way to help us and mention them in our accomplishments. I'd like to believe that's why groups like Cameron's Highlanders, The Templars, Remnant, and Phoenix Legion continue to stay with us, because we enjoy each other's company and have fun dropping together when we can.

We'd love to have the Seraphim back anytime if they ever have a change of heart. I will keep you all in my thoughts and hope that our next exchange doesn't end in such a way that upsets so many of you, as that was never our intention.

I can't speak for the rest, but if I am treated with respect, I wouldn't mind going back. If I am treated with disrespect, I wont.

I'd love to trust you. I believe you when you say it wasn't your intent. But, intent or not, some members (don't know how many) did feel upset by the reactions we got on the forums for our aid. Intent aside, it's what happened.

Once a trust has been broken, it takes time to rebuild. I do hope we can rebuild any lost trust between, not only the Seraphim but also, Marik and the DC. We have Clans to fight, and fighting each other does not solve that problem.

Personally, more offended by merc unit sign up for Draconis Combine and then lose to bad clan PUGs. Shameful display.

So, how could you tell if we lost or won? Last I recall, the planets around your capital did get turned back into your name, and even reconnected with the greater portion of your house, right? I wouldn't call that losing...

pwnface, on 18 February 2015 - 11:43 PM, said:

Actually we were informed by Marik that Seraphim would be joining us and we said "COOL THANKS"! We legitimately were looking forward to having Seraphim fight for the DCMS. We did not expect Seraphim's support to be so conditional as to only be willing to fight against the clans. PHL, CH, and now REM are enjoying their residency in the DCMS as mercs because they are willing to actually coordinate with us.

We were informed by our contacts that we where to attack the Clans, and we were told that you were going to be doing the same thing. Maybe there was a breakdown of communications here. However, that miscommunication was not what produced the hurt feelings we developed.

I do hope that Socop can work with Marik (and the Seraph) and patch all this up.

I also wish to mention (again) to reconsider closing down the wormhole project. I wish to remind that, once it's closed, it will be gone for good. There will probably not be another wormhole to be exploited. It may be best to keep at least some (not many) planets over there for Marik. This can form a buffer zone or a fall back plan if the Clans fight their way up to that point. It would provide another faction to be able to attack them.

Attacks from several fronts can be a powerful tool. For each faction that can attack (and not just defend) brings that much more people to the front lines. Look at FRR. They have so many factions able to attack them right now. Honestly, that is why they are hurting so badly. They can't focus their players to one front. They have so many to cover, they are spread thin.

Also consider that, as soon as Marik space touches the Wormhole area, it very well probably will start to head north again, instead of south or east. I suspect it would try to make a path towards your capital at that point, which would quickly lead to CSJ territory. Once we "tag" a clan faction, all the DC worlds behind could be relinquished without a fuss.


I also might suggest that, if the FRR can cut off CSJ's faction and push it into Kurita space, that Kurita try and take the FRR world then. This would close off CSJ's attack path to the FRR, reducing them by one hostile front. (This presumes that the territories they held in FRR was not a wormhole effect.)


Cooperation is key between the houses. If we all stopped attacking each other, we could concentrate even more resources on the clans. It wouldn't even take much to reduce the attack paths of the clans to any given house even, with the proper teamwork and trust...

"Hey guys, even if we're fighting each other, can we at least try to keep it civil."

Yeah, that's a very immature attitude to have.

Seriously I'm in need of people to slaughter here, stop posting and stand somewhere i can shoot you all dammit.

That would require me to take a break from worrking on my T3 gear for DCUO and actually patch MWO.
