We decided to opt out of PC due to some political bull$#!+ from another corp.
As many of you are aware, we do meta 2 PC matches and "all out" PC matches wich have a no limits rule.
As many of you also know, we are a training corp, not many people other than our fine staff have the ability to field proto gear/modules and weapons etc. this results in the no limits matches being mostly a proto stomp by the other team (unless it was decided otherwise that adv & below was the thresh-hold).
We informed our "students"/members that we are abandoning PC for the time being. Many of our members were outraged at this and as a result, we had a frenzy of people join in our last match.......wich I got dced from (stupid internet). We still hold training events and Q-syncs so our members aren't completely in the dark. As far as I'm concerned FW is a suitable replacement for PC.
We will not stop training with other corps and as such if you wish to set up a training match on your corps own turf (not to mention the fact we don't have any turf anymore) simply mail one of our directors.
But that's just my side of the story.

The Learning Coalition now does that whole 'meta 2 and below' PC thing. We only have 2 districts tho so we can only afford a few/week. Sorry char char, I can't tell wich corp your in.....I'm sure I could tell you a few things about your corp that would make you upset......

I really, really am sorry for my poor conduct.
If you ever need help Dust Uni can always hit me up. I'd be glad to just squad up with your guys and just run around exchanging advice. Even noobs sometimes find gems we vets miss that helps us. SoTa when you squad with some of these idiots you'll see how disrespectful they are to some noobs. There is one thing calling a n00b a n00b or tellling them to step up. A whole diff thing when you're just a disrespectful human being. EVEN in pub play. I was squaded with them in D-Uni for a pub. One of the guys (who shall remained unnamed) takes the game waaayyyy to seriously. And don;t let me get started on "POLICY" bullshit. Mail me this players name.....I will talk to them.....the actions of one do not represent the whole of D-Uni
EDIT: if you do mail me the players name, you shall remain unnamed, and if you don't mind, could you also say what they did etc.

And if you ever want to leave training and fight for real. Please keep 8thdivision in mind Will do :)
I'd rather have fun playing the game than not have fun and kick butt :p

But that's just my side of the story. Smart for doing PC on other corp's planets..But remember when Eve-Uni was started. In the beginnign they did not have high teir stuff. As far as unlimited training. Honestly it isn't so much you guys lack gear. Many people do have proto. It is just that you all run the same thing. We had an entire squad of dedicated logis... And the fact that the only person allowed to use a mass driver goes 2/17 I don't recall "weapon restrictions" being a part of D-Uni but if you're in a squad and they start saying stuff like that, then just leave the squad, I know a few people who would probably do something like that.

He's the one who came into Dust University for a "peer review" and wrote some pretty nasty stuff about a couple of current members and former members (myself included.) Hmmm, well perhaps he heard only part of the conversation, and like I said, the actions of one (or few) do not represent the entire Uni.
Naedeus is a good person and was always kind to me :) if Naedeus was angry or said something, there has to be a good reason to do so :)
o7 Naedeus
EDIT: can someone give me a link to the review....I would like to read it :)

Another reason is that I left school a quarter of a century ago... Plus players tend to adopt a 'Forum Warrior' stance in these threads, that 99 times out of 100 is usually completely contrary to how they actually are when you speak to them over Comms.. As to the review that was posted and spoken of here, it was generally favourable to the UNI, that much is true, but there was reference to a member of D-UNI being referenced as to a female dog which I found rather distasteful so I reported the post. As anyone in D-UNI will testify, I have a zero tolerance attitude to harassment of female players in my corp and that extends to the forums as well. Call me old fashioned in that regard if you want but I'm not going to apologise for it. But threads like this do make me smile if for one reason only. They demonstrate a level of passion for the game, a game that I might remind you, is generally considered as unfinished, lacking in significant features and on the wrong format (get it on PS4 ASAP CCP). It's a passion I share and one that allows me to talk for over an hour in Q&A's and podcasts, even when there's no new content. It's part of the reason I want to stand for the CPM when the elections come and am prepared for my real name being out there as a result and not hide behind an avatar any more. Well said.
I was just trying to be civil towards one another and did not want this thread to explode with fire again.
In hindsight, I did read that review but skipped over the part that got to politics cause (IMO) politics spoil everything.....unless it's something akin to Rob Ford and his little predicament (yes I'm Canadian so I can make those references).
I do not stand for harassment and abuse. If you have ever squadded with me you will know that I don't mind swearing etc. but if someone says they are offended or asks you stop, I will back them up and askthe "violated" to tone it back.
If everyone is happy, than I'm happy.
/thread. No more posts from me in this thread.

but nonetheless, Let's all agree to let this thread die in a hole known as the war room.

Most of the people spewing hate are a joke to everyone but themselves. Char trying to self promote an organization run by a former D-Uni director that had a mental break down before he left. Promising to say the least. Talking about how he couldn't sleep at night because he was afraid I was out to get him and I was making him physically ill. What a joke. I barely even talked to the guy. Don't believe it? I have the e-mails he sent just before he rage quit and started his little vendetta learning coalition. Just another disgruntled ex member trying to ride the coat tails of an organization he wishes he never left.
For the rest of the people out there that may have had a bad experience is because you didn't take the time to ever see what was really there to offer. Or, you didn't take the time to actually talk with people to know what's up. But, I could honestly care less what anyone thinks about the organization I am a part of. Just a drama filled joke with you trolls written all over it.
Most of you who came in the uni and left in a negative state was because you were too lazy to find the opportunities we offer for yourselves. You want people to hold you hand then you came to the wrong place. We are here to help people not baby them. Read the welcome mail, use our forums, contact the people that are here to help. We have Lectures at least 2-3 times a week. Events happen everyday.
Aww you got upset when I yelled at you when you utterly failed in PC match and didn't do what you were supposed to or followed the orders of your squad leaders? Oh, or did I curse too much and it burned your virgin ears? ****ing crybabies. I take this game too seriously? Or is it I am so dumbfounded that some people (Not all) are so brain dead that they can't follow simple instructions or abide by the rules of a specific organization. And you want to join a competitive corp that is focused on team play and following the commands of your squad and team leaders. HAHA.
But it is ok, sit here on your forums and spit your sewage to our community so that any new member who has a brain logs in and see your ignorance and immediately find something else. Self defecating bunch of jerks. You run people off and try to mess with establishments that are in the business of helping the community, then have the gull to complain and say this game is dying. lol.
I could go on and on, but I doubt most of you read this far without responding with some not really that funny, but will be blown up to be troll post.
"You mad bro?" Maybe a little. But, no one cares. So I will go back to my corner of Dust 514 and try my best to help this game grow. With our without the communities' support.
Oh and PS: We didn't fight for those districts. We no showed because we couldn't care less.
PPS: Char, been in IG for a while now, nothing goes on..no activity, no forum activity, Anything of note is a bunch of guides written by one guy who maybe plays 1 or 2 hours a week. And, isn't very good. Holy Personal Attacks Bat Man! Come on, I know he's venting so let's just leave this thread ok?
o7 I hold nothing against you Fox :)
