I'm not sure where you're getting your "observations" from....
We don't queue sync with Nyan San.
We don't queue sync much at all (it's literally been months since I've seen us do that, and we did it to practice intra squad tactics for PC).
If you don't like our proto suits (or those of us that run them), kill us enough to warrant stop using them.
Until then, you'll have to accept my apology for our killing you so much it warrants public QQ....or consider our squads a challenge to try to overcome....Leadfoot |

I wasn't in that match, so I can't say what happened. But like I said, I don't see us queue syncing at all any more, and I have never, not even once, seen us queue sync with Nyan San.
You can believe that or not, you can hate us for it or not, and you can post threads calling us out publically for things that many, many corps do. That's your choice.
Lastly, I would be very surprised if anyone held your prior hatemail against you -- to the contrary, I think most consider it a compliment.
Take care....Leadfoot |

"Ruining the game"? lol
When I started this game, I got killed a few thousand times by proto stompers with tens of millions of skill points more than I had.
Did I QQ? No. Did I send hatemail? No.
I got better from the challenge...and I have a greater sense of accomplishment now that I kill more than I die regardless of the suit I run.
Would you rather I kill redberries 10 instead of 20 times a round if I run my BPO suit? Should I not drop orbitals fearing those I kill quitting the game? Should I stop playing in squads and run solo all the time so you stand a better chance of winning?
Would those things somehow make things better for those new players?
I hardly think so.
You are, of course, free to disagree....Leadfoot |

Please add me to your list:
Leadfoot10: Proto Caldari Logi and Assault. Generally runs a proto assault rail rifle (often with 2 damage mods) and a scanner. Uses proto equipment and has been seen spraying an SMG. Always runs in squads and usually as squad lead. Plays overly aggressive and has no gun game. Enjoys long walks on the beach, strafing, and QQ.
Have fun....Leadfoot |

Have fun....Leadfoot Thanks for the info, but it not really a defining characteristic. A lot of protons run rail rifle, and scanners, and double damage mods. These things should be expected of all protons and do not necessitate specific mention. Core focus grenade spam and spawn camping proto tanks, do however.
I don't run core locus grenades, nor do I spam grenades. I'll have to work on that and get back to you. 
What's really funny about this whole thing, and it was mentioned by a few others if you'd care to listen, is that we don't really proto stomp, and certainly not nearly as much as some other corps.
What we do like to do is win. And we try. For instance, you will never see me give up on a round. Never. If that means I die a dozen or more times and lose one or two million in a round, so be it. That's better than quitting.
So, again, if we've killed you enough to warrant mention as one of two corps to proto stomp, I'm sorry. Keep gridning. Keep getting better at the game. If you've got the skill, eventually the tide will turn (generally somewhere around 8 or 10m SP is when we see it in our newer players -- sometimes earlier or later depending on their inherent skill).
And the offer to squad with us, talk about this whole situation, and pick up some new tactics is still open. #sand castles Again, if you actually ran with us I think you would see the truth of things rather than judging us because you ran into a few buzzsaw Molon Labe squads, got beaten badly, and were in a rush to label us as bad guys -- when in fact we are really no different from you or your corp, except perhaps we have a bit more experience and SP.
Take care....Leadfoot |

Take care....Leadfoot Really...because I know a few guys in your corp who not only admit to protostomping but will call out the ones who do also. So basically your statement can be blown apart by members of your own corp. Nice try though.
Really? Who do you know? Names, please.
Sure, we have a few guys who run proto suits -- myself included. Any corp or player that's been around enough to get proto suits has done it. Nowhere has anyone denied our behavior, by the way, and to the contrary -- we will tell you the truth about it....as Thor, Nirwanda, Johlsson, myself, and others have done.
However, the operative question (in my eye) is if we rise to the level of a few corps that do it across the board and all the time -- enough to warrant a thread including false allegations and calling out members that aren't even in our corp....and I see you've changed the opening two posts in this thread to reflect your new understanding of things. Thanks for that.
So I'm not sure what part of my statement "can be blown apart by members of your own corp", but I am certainly open to the discussion.
Remember, we all want this game to succeed.
Take care....Leadfoot |

Myself also, I have two friends that I squad with from time to time that say the same thing, and have a player in my corp that has told me of the mandatory running of superior equipment, he used to be in Molon Labe, sooooo yeah, I'll back that up.
Really, who? Please be specific.
There is no "mandatory running of superior equipment" -- that's BS. Perhaps you're confusing our PC policy where there is -- and assuredly you're not suggesting we intentionally handicap ourselves in PC. It certainly has never been a policy of my pubbing squads nor any other pub squads I've ever run with during my year or so playing with Molon Labe.
Name names, please, and this time it would be nice if the players were actually in or corp -- unlike the tankers that were cited earlier in this thread have never been in ML.
Thanks....Leadfoot |

So you know, ML recruits new players all the time -- from the vets with 20M+ SP to rookies with only a few million.
Many of us, including myself, participate in the Rookie forum, trying to share our experience with those needing help.
For those interested, we also have a training and mentorship program once you get in ML -- which makes us better as a corp.
Taken collectively, it may explain why some of our methods -- which tend to be successful and often result in lopsided victories -- might be misinterpreted as proto stomping.
Respectfully...Leadfoot |

Spend a day in full STD gear and tell me we're whining for nothing.
Almost at 12mill sp, and dust 514 has been the FPS equivelint of Dark Souls. I've been running variations of this fit for the past week now 'Dragonfly' Scout G-I Militia Shield Extender Blueprint Combat Rifle ZN-28 Nova Knives ADV Quantum Active Scanner Complex Armor Repairer Enhanced Cardiac Regulator Probably about 2M SP worth of equipment right there, probably 6-7M of total relevant passive skill bonuses. I've been playing solo Skirm/Dom about 75% of the time, practicing for the upcoming NK event. My general performance for the week: >2 K/D >1 W/L Absolute minimum K/D in one game of about 0.8, maximum was >10. No more than 1/5 of full games ended w/ me in the bottom half of the board About 5-6M ISK earned I had one game earlier today against a full squad of mostly Proto corpmates, including Leadfoot and other self proclaimed Proto users. Both teams had squads, we had uptown and a few PFB, they had Molon and I believe another squad that I can't remember. I had no trouble killing my fellow Molon corpmates with the above fitting, going 11/5 (I had to play it a bit safe, having <300 eHP). I focused heavily and specifically on those using proto suits, and managed to burn about 5-6 full proto fits using only a basic CR, ADV NKs, and my superior wit  . Specifically, I managed to kill Leadfoot's proto CalLogi 3 times, and I'm sure he's willing to confirm this 
Confirmed, you sneaky bastard. :)
