As some of you may know, me and Martok know each other in real life. We are not only gaming buddies, but also fishing buddies, etc. I had some fun attacking SLBs and farming MIFs, geez this game is boring if someone doesn't act out lol.
Anyway, Martok (PVP) and Mythiclord (SPQRN) were having discussions about keeping the peace. Mythiclord was adamant that SPQRN wanted peace. So during discussions, and having respect in-game with Martok (hey gaming is gaming...we both love to play) i conducted a cease fire upon all SPQRN and for that matter everyone 1. (I went fishing and caught some tasty gills) I let Martok handle the talk with others, as he is better at it than i am. Sometimes, i admit, i am a hothead.
Always in the loop, Martok was relaying information to me. He held utmost respect for the way Mythiclord (SPQRN) was handling the situation. Hell, i had caused a mess lol. Fun to me, but not to maybe others. I let things run their course, and let my buddy Martok handle things. All the meanwhile, i am only logging in to jump for an SOS mission here and there. Nothing serious, and no hostile actions.
During this whole time, Mythiclord was adamantly expressing concerns that it was not the will of the members of SPQRN to go to war. But, at the same time, his leaders, Both Rostin and Marcus kept trash talking and trying to instigate a fight on the public forum boards. (One does not talk smack in an mmo forum, unless one wants a fight)
Still, i was at ceasefire, and trying to gain insight of my members, and how SPQRN was acting.
So, during my ceasefire...SPQRN leaders trash talked to try to instigate more fighting 2. AND they conducted multiple attacks upon our holdings and ships (including one of my ships..so be it). At the same freaking time they had someone trying to talk peace to us. Two faced. 3
Am i innocent...hell effing no... i have publicly stated that i wish to have some PvP fun! Look at our freaking name!!! I have been completely transparent! I have been upfront and in your face! I believe my members are the same way. (I wont speak for them) But in no way will i put up with a lying bunch of gamers. That is how gamers die, because that is all gamers have. Their word. If you are known as a lying pregnant dog ass, your gamer tag dies as a lying pregnant dog.
PS: We are having fun, we sent possible cease fires, we do lots of things, we GAME!

Sorry RoadRunner, I have a duty to enact the will of my constituents
http://snag.gy/pe7Bd.jpgNow onto your reply.
1: You were conducting a ceasefire? Maybe you should make that public knowledge so that we don't even have this issue in the first place. Numerous times you have been asked to present an official corp stance and numerous times you have ignored it and proceeded to be insulted when we react to your past actions. Perhaps you should have maybe told me or had Martok tell Myth that you were in a ceasefire? Am I to believe that sending a PM to another player or making a simple one-sentence forum post on the subject is below your pay grade?
You attacked my labs four days ago. Forgive me for not realizing that during those four days you were not actively hunting our modules
even though your ship named "SLB Hunter" was seen scanning systems and planets with SPQNR modules installed.2: I challenge you to point out ONE instance of me or Raptor "trash-talking" or provoking hostilities since your last public outburst. Please, give me a quote so that I can be rid of this accursed ignorance because all I have done is pointed out facts about the situation and reacted the way the Senate of New Rome has commanded me to act. Meanwhile you continue to slander my good name and character. I reiterate my question posed to you in a separate thread: what did I do to you to cause so much ill-will toward me??? Seriously, I have no idea because to my knowledge I am a pretty likable guy but you seem to have an opposing opinion.
3: So I can't have a diplomat soothing over relations during a war? That's not how war works...
Full quarter will be given to any noncombatants and communication channels for peace negotiations will remain open should the aggressing party wish to reconsider their current attitude.
Do you see that quote? I clearly stated that negotiations would be ongoing and that peace could be easily established through intercorp communications. You should know about being two-faced. Do you want PVP or do you not want PVP? Here you are saying you DO want it while at the same time you are condemning SPQNR for not respecting a ceasefire that we didn't know was in effect! Tell me right now and make it PERFECTLY CLEAR for everyone; what does [PVP] want? What is your public stance? Because as long as you attack my members willy-nilly we will attack back. All it takes to stop that is a pledge from you saying you "don't want to fight us anymore". It is that simple. Go to the messages tab or better yet, log a reply here saying something along those lines and you can have your ceasefire.
I should make my own stance clear here as well. I am fine with some good natured PVP. All I ask is that it stays between consenting parties and does not become a comparison to "Astro Galaxy Terrorism". Surely you of all people should know how I feel about PVP RoadRunner. We had this EXACT discussion with you in New Rome when Martok created an account and you wanted to have your rivalry without it being a full blown war. Well that's exactly what I am asking for here. Find some players (like me for example, since you seem to hate me so much now) who welcome a little PVP and then make up an agreement with them to spice up the game a little. Is that too much to ask for? What are your thoughts on that?
