/ooc
I've decided for the sake of my desire to stay in the matrix online, i'm going to need to stop doing things that make me want to hurt people. In this case it is Darminian's feud/war with the cypherites. Mainly their liasons.
I've come to accept that when a player is out-leveled and out numbered his desire to flag and be killed is gone, such is the case, but right off the bat i don't believe levels exist in the matrix cannon, so that's hardly an excuse to not flag, but hey that's players were never going to all get along, frankly im too angry and whine to much to be friends with the people out there who i think are retards and need to be purged from the gene pool. In any case, in my continual attempts to wage war on the cypherites or their liasons i've failed based on a lot of ooc nonsense, including the ever popular refusal to flag and enjoyable stand off we've all encountered where in which the words come to us?
'Why can i not just shoot you right now, there's no reason for this.'
Albeit players as i've said, is understandable i mean we break cannon and we always will, not to mention on a non-hostile server it's to be expected. And of course i expect to hear if you want to be on a hostile server go there, and i would if my 50 wasn't here. In any case what sets me off is low and behold our LESIG superiors as it were, our liasons and masterful RPers who are of course inclined to be better in the cannon then we are - are now the ones who sit and don't flag.
I can reference tons of points where it's annoying, between LET you want to battle or liasons you want to shoot but i can reference just a few that set me off recently.
The commando event where the sergeants met with the privates - on the final day (if you had the trascript/e-mail from merrit)
They met and the private gave something to the sergeant in regards of a report. I waited until the train pulled out of the station and broke stealth in an attempt to fight him and intercept this 'report'.
Instead i got to get declined in a duel, flag for nothing and watch and wait for the next train to arrive while this commando leisurely boarded it and left the system. I'm not saying he doesn't have RP to do, i'm just saying if this were anything remotely close to the matrix i would have either fought him there and then, or pushed him onto the train, not watched him leisurely walk onto it and call it a day.
A show down with vira conrida in debir court, i called her out, rain pouring quite cinematic to the point where she even had a chuckle about it, and we swapped banter back and fourth until i told her i was done chatting and it was time to fight, i got to wait about say 7-8 minutes for her back up to arrive and at the end of that she didn't even flag, well that was a fun event, but whatever i mean thats her charachter and shes a low level so it's all good...... i guess.....
Today after i convinced Escondido to come down to jacobs ladder to help a 'bluepill' i informed dezreki (as im aware he and his people are trying to rid the blue menace aswell.) And for the next 10 minutes i got to listen to dezreki ask for information that escondido would never give us (observation made from both ic and ooc) And finally flag after that, only to have to wait to here more about questions that were irrelevant. Finally i got to smack his head off the ground, and when i left i ran into him again, only to be denied the ability to fight him, even by him with a 'clever' line about running into danger as opposed to from it - which made me laugh oh so much.' As he still didn't flag.
Now i've not masked or hidden my vindetta at all - but low and behold apparently nothing works with these people when they'd rather banter over useless **bullcrud** as opposed to do anything relevant. Now when negotiations are based on - 'well i might have a kill code so tell me what i want to know' and the other guy saying 'well cryptos knows things abour the cypherites' i get fed up and leave.
Only to hear later that the cypherites have called in back up - which fair enough, theres plenty of them, and mobu is there - if his charachter is pro-cypherite or feels the need to help them that's all fine and good i suppose, there's also two high level mervs who show up.... i don't think they RPed in the slightest but lord knows they PVP'ed but thats a part of the matrix im not gonna *CENSORED* about it either, cuase who knows maybe their story is they work for the merv but enjoy bashing EPN people or work for the merv and the machines because uh.......
In any case as we sit there, namely myself dez and a few other HWEZ a bunch of other players who seemed to have no idea what to do for themselves (many exceptions apply.) We get to stand in front of vira, escondido a few cypherites the mervs, mobu and his simulacrum and so on. To hear them just going on and on about how shes happy she's killed people, but she's never never spilled blue pill blood, even though she did last night as an event (vira that is.) and so on and so fourth to the point where were standing in front of her talking about fighting and nothing is done.
Finally i've just had enough and i go and point out the stupidity behind this entire scenario - how if your going to stand there and pretend that were just not attacking you, you might aswell not even stand there, because case and point when Darminian's vindetta as openly displayed as his has been is around - he doesn't care what you have to say. But finally after this two blurb rant about how useless this kind of RP is, i leave the club to be informed now after i've said something Vira has flagged.
Well as we go back in - i find myself warring with these bloody mervs as opposed to the machinist or even the cypherites who were the main target, and when i finally avoid combat with them all the cypherites have left.
Now i know killing people with EJP is irrelevant but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen, and as i've already demonstrated to about every cypherite i've run into is enjoyable and going to happen with darm, *poop* like this still happens, im not saying it should cater directly to me, but if someone wants to fight you and you don't want to fight, you shoudln't *CENSORED* RP and hide behind game mechanics.
Anyways like i said, i'm done with the vindetta because trying to *CENSORED* RP just ends up making me angry and not developing into anything relevant. Also the fact that vira has already killed at least two blue pills, means shes affectively doing things worse than the EPN especially since it was intentional, but low and behold no one is doing anything about it, which amuses me. And was the motivator for Darm's vindetta which effectively has been nullified yet again by poor RP in my opinion. I welcome any and all other points of view on this subject right now, and i'm not looking for an arguement i'm just explaining why from here on in, cypherites are no longer a specific target for blinding rage for Darminian.
