Hylius, you forgot to mention the blatant hypocrisy.

[Tyzh]

I, for one, welcome our new dissociation overlords.

Eridani Light Pony, its directors, officers, members, employees and assigns (collectively, “ELPMC”) are hereby asked and notified to CEASE AND DESIST making false and defamatory statements regarding the Equestria Royal Guard and its ongoing matters on the MWO forums.

Notification implies consequence.

3) You can, frankly, take your love and tolerance and shove it where the sun don't shine. We are not "like minded" people at all. If we were, there would be one group and not two. The mere fact there are two groups shows differing priorities and personalities. Just because we happen to watch the same television show doesn't make us instant friends or in some "group". Again, to be frank: we see you as a stain and we want nothing to do with it.

I see. Well if you represent your group in this hateful approach to bronies and the fandom, perhaps we're not so like minded after all.

Please, that's hardly hateful; stop acting persecuted. You recruit from 4chan and spam recruitment messages everywhere, of course people are going to find you an unbecoming member of the fandom. More so given that you also support OCs/Clop/RPs.

4) Sorry, no false statements there! You have lied. You have blatantly stolen. You're on your... what. Third recruitment thread? And why? To hide the shame of constant mod edits/warnings and our message to you (heck, you even pretty much stole that idea and did the same here! I mean, really, be original for once. Just once.) Unlike you, I hold that message above me as a badge of honor. I'll proudly display it. "We are not associated with the ERG and have nothing to do with them." I say it loud and with pride. If you want a list of reasons, I could always provide one. I tried being diplomatic once, but now? Screw it.

What we do with our recruitment thread after you spread lies on it is non of your business. You said you'd edit your post regarding said lies but you didn't, breaking any integrity you had. Diplomacy does not include intentionally trying to sabotage another group. Again, I can't see how your members stand by this policy.

They weren't lies. You did use people's images without their permission, regardless of if you got it at a later time or not. You did copy and paste our rules word for word and use them as your own. Were you one of my students I'd have flunked you on the spot and seen you ejected from the institution.

Instead of engaging in blatant hypocrisy, I do remember you whining about Hylius doing this same thing to you, why don't you try and prove yourself a worthwhile member of the BattleTech/My Little Pony communities instead of playing the part of the boy who cried wolf. It's not as if you've handled yourself well as a whole recently; just look at Vulture within the last week.

IMHO, MechWarrior 3 was the highlight of the MW series of games. . the construction tool allowed you to perfectly copy the stats of any Battlemech in the game (but not the looks unfortunatly)

Also. . . most Badass intro ever. .



I can't get the game to work on my PC anymore though

That guys' voice gives me chills. I wish I had such a gravely badass voice. Clearly I need to take up smoking.

I wish GoG would take on MW3 and release a stable and compatible version for new computers.

As long as you cling to your delusional fantasy that you did no wrong and that you did not in fact, rip off our forum rules word-for-word (then do exactly the same to the Escapist, and finally Asimov's Laws of Robotics), you condemn yourselves to being our nemisis. All your efforts to cover-up your unethical actions do nothing but dig deeper the hole into which you've thrown yourselves. Make no mistake: you sabotaged yourselves. All we do is let folks know what kind of people are "leaders" over at EQRG.

Your fallacious claims of victimhood will not work against us. Your persistence in attempts to besmerch us and enshrine yourselves has only the opposite effect.

[Tyzh]

They aren't a nemesis, Petersen. That requires active competition and action. We want nothing to do with them. (Difference.)

Also, I too wish GoG would make a stable version of MW3. I'd give up my left leg for that. I've spent so much time trying to get it to run on Win7.

[William Petersen]

My mistake, sir. I stand most humbly corrected.

2) Multiple occasions to contact administration? Nope, sorry. Might want to get your PR department to stop lying to you (I mean, I know lying is kinda a thing you got going for your group, but seriously, you might wanna cut back on it.) Your guy registered on our forums and brought it up once. He was told maybe our thoughts would change after time had passed but it was best to leave it for then. To his credit, he did leave it be. However I'll go ahead and tell you you've done nothing to change our opinion, only strengthen it. Happy and myself are the only administration, and neither of us have received anything. Nice try though!

You might want to check your messages in the MWO PM section. You've got mail (from weeks ago no less)!

Firstly, if you REALLY want to contact someone, and it is VERY important to do so, you don't send 'em a PM that they MIGHT see eventually. You send them an e-mail, which is almost guaranteed to be seen as most people check their emails at least twice daily. OR, if you really want to be thorough, you send an email AND a PM, just to emphasize the importance of your message. If a few days pass with no reply, send a second message. However, do not spam as you message is almost guaranteed to be deleted and ignored.

Secondly, if the first contact does not reply, try going down the command line and contacting the next person. This is another sign that your message doesn't need to reach the ears it needs to.

Thirdly, neither Hylius nor myself have received any private messages for some time. Perhaps you sent the message to the wrong person (like that time you sent a recruitment spam message to Hylius).

Really? I mean, REALLY?! We, who have been posting ponies for over 6 months now on this site, are haters to the fandom? Dude, whatever you are on, I want some of it, too. If you won't give me any, at least tell me who your guy is.

Considering we've far surpassed your site's views, member count, content count, and daily post count, I must say your premise is quite simply; wrong.

I must say that your premise is simply wrong. We have standards, you don't. You have quantity, we have quality. I'll take quality over quantity any day of the week.

[Tyzh]

"Shove your love and kindness where the sun don't shine." is actually pretty mild. You can keep your views, member count, "content" count, post count, counting count, and any other count you'd like to count. We are what we are, and we enjoy each other's company. That's all that matters. Our groups are not "like minded". We are not interested in whatever it is you want with us. Move on.

No. No it does not. Especially when it is preceded by "Ask".

They weren't lies. You did use people's images without their permission, regardless of if you got it at a later time or not. You did copy and paste our rules word for word and use them as your own. Were you one of my students I'd have flunked you on the spot and seen you ejected from the institution.

Again, you have NO IDEA what kind of arrangements were made in private, or the copyright that is enforced ON YOUR OWN SITE. Saying you know ANYTHING about our legal division is speculation on your part.

It's a bit much for a group based around a game to have a legal division; but I digress, you used things not of your own. You made no attempt to acknowledge their origin until it was brought to the others attention. I'm not even referring to the picture thing, or the rules post deleting what was produced by Hylius. You copied his rules and showed them as if they were your own.

You can either drop it, or I'll consider it harassment given nothing will come out of this discussion.

You told us to shove our love and kindness where the sun don't shine. If that doesn't fit your definition on hateful, then you should do some self-reflection, but I digress. Besides, an unbecoming member? Support for original content and the like, no matter the subject? Considering we've far surpassed your site's views, member count, content count, and daily post count, I must say your premise is quite simply; wrong. Compounded by the fact we've only been around oh, 3 weeks or so? It's called artistic freedom, and we embrace it here. AGAIN, how do your members even put up with this?

Being given a verbal brush off is hardly hate. Also, the argument for unlimited support of any content leaves you prone to things which are illegal in some judicial areas; obviously there must be a limit or I could assert you guilty of support some unmentionable views/beliefs. Also, size as a determinate of success is hardly a legitimate argument. More so given the 4chan recruitment, as has been previously brought up.

Regardless, if you're just going to keep repeating the same thing ad nauseam, stop. I won't even bother responding unless you can come up with something new and legitimate.

[HappySpawn]

If we wanted a larger member count, then we, too, would recruit from 4chan, reddit, and every other site that you do. We might even PM-spam people with recruitment messages. However, we recruit ONLY from this site and ONLY by the methods approved by the moderators.

And if the best thing you can come up with is "higher count", then you have just proven that you truly are the 14-year-old punk that I thought you were. Do us all a favor and just go away. I'd like to get back to my games.

My wife (who's been reading this over my shoulder) wishes it to be know that size isn't important, it's what you do with what you have that matters.

Err. . . i have nothing to add to that really

We already know you're not professional, you just play at it on the internet. =P

[Sporkosophy]

The grammar on that just hurts. Oh, well, it's not important.

[Tyzh]

Good job.

More importantly, wasn't there a petition somewhere to try and get GoG to do MW3?

Edit: Yeah, it was their wishlist thing on their site. I remember I made an account for the express purpose of voting for it. >.>

Edited by Tyzh, 22 June 2012 - 01:03 PM.

[Fl3tcher]

Honestly. . I had to google GoG

MW3 is my Holy Grail of MW games. . I'd give my right leg to get it working . . need both arms to play the damn thing

Also. . not to be pedantic. . but when you say your ceasing communication by a certain means isn't it slightly counterproductive to that statement to then communicate again. .

Jusy saying

Love and tolerance gentlecolts, love and tolerance.

[Tyzh]

It's nothing to worry about, Fletcher. I can't disagree about MW3, though. 2 was great, but 3 got a lot of style right. It was the first time I saw the ELH logo, too. Has always reminded me of the US 1st Cavalry symbol. My grandpa served with them in Vietnam. (So warm fuzzy feelings for all!)

Lets see, the most famous crossover fic would be The Thessalonica Legacy

My personal favorite is The Dread Chitin . Although not directly a BT crossover, it uses the technology in the setting.

One is currently being written, and is available in its partially complete form, in Falling Stars

Thanks Calico for the suggestions
