I welcome CIR gangs as they're fun to brawl with but these newer players whom even their best fit is sub-par are quickly swept away. I remember another guy who wanted to crush all the smaller corps. He took his corporation to enemy outpost and camped them until they quit the game. He also did a lot of other very bad stuff to try and damage the game and was rather successful. Is this really CIRs new plan? Stalk defenceless newbies just exploring the game and not only kill them but continue to supresses them until they either conform and join or leave the game.
If this isn't CIRs master plan that I would really hope their CEO and other CEOs in their alliance look at the power they have. Not to say they are the only ones that can and are doing this but they are a good example. They fit superior gangs and fight in very unfair terms as a show of force. More power to them if they want to harm the game as I too was part of a corporation that did their fair share of damage.
Is this a bond between M2S and CIR forming? Together they could crush all newbie dreams. What a great place we could all live in and enjoy!
I can sympathize with your theories, although you should know me a little bit better to compare me with Styx.
There is no "CIR master plan", our goal has always been pretty public and simple; own 1 outpost and have fun in PVP. Naturally we'll go out, roam and look for PVP. Naturally we will use the gear we grinded for, we're not going to "downgrade" our fits. Naturally we will actively seek out to curbstomp a corporation that we're at war with.
As FOOM, AET, NeX, and all new corps know; I personally went and offered UNCONDITIONAL help in getting set up in Beta, explaining how to protect themselves, etc. As a gesture of good will, not as some evil scheme to aquire more pets/corps in alliance but to simply promote game growth. I also recommended them to simply set up and not get involved in the politics and grudges that exist between established corps because they'll only suffer as one side mows them down while they're in inferior tech and inferior bots.
Whats the first thing they do with getting on Beta? There I am, sitting in TS and listening to Mara delivering his speech about super elite experienced pirates that reign and sow terror across the Beta islands. Result? They blue up with 62nd at the first Laosura intrusion. We - who are at war with 62nd - come over to kill them. Collateral casualties ensues. FOOM knew full well that where we only sent Lemon over there, we could just as easily send 10-20 yellow pilots with the exact same fit.
Im not quite sure whats the point you M2S guys are trying to make with this tinfoil conspiracy that CIR is out to destroy the game. We're consistent with our politics and behavior - stand by our allies to the last bot, enjoy PVP, and *** up whoever we got a wardec on, by any means necessary.
If we wanted to destroy the game, we would have accepted your offers to join Infestation when M2S meant and stood for something. Remember what we said then?
