TL;DR
Doesn't concern you if you don't care about PFC, otherwise read plz I've seen alot of threads about this and how DDB isn't doing their jobs...
Since when did we say absolutely no one else can help out with enforcing agreeable rules? Kujo posted a list of rules to give everyone a better idea about what RA would like PFC to look like, but did those rules mention anything about not being allowed to help out with policing?
I'd think about that before you decide to tell us what we can't do because of our lack of dedication towards something we honestly get nothing out of. I like to help out when I have the time, and perhaps when there is something only AE can deal with we WILL come.
But before even talking to us, you guys decided to be all dramatic and tell us you are taking over and we can no longer police PFC, a COMMUNITY PROJECT.
DDB will continue in the effort to help out PFC if they damn well please, and you guys can too. RA doesn't own PFC, despite being the largest land holder. We haven't gone in there and cleared out all of those corps to farm for ourselves have we?
Anyway sorry about the rant, I know this is the dramaroom and I should HTFU and maybe stop being so susceptible to trolling, but honestly when I see respectable people going out of their way to talk about something like that I can't help but take it seriously.
Bash on DDB, its free. I don't agree with it, but freedom right? But bashing with logic is different. Don't you guys get it by now that those that use logic get trolled? lol
I have an ego?! O.O
The scales have fallen from my eyes.

While I agree with some of what is said here the timing of is just smells of an excuse. I'm sorry but DDB where never going to succeed at managing PFC. It may not be their fault, but lets not make excuses for them. Also I think there are way to many rules that have been put on PFC. Pretty sure it started out as fighting is mutual and don't take over someone else's district. Trying to make unenforceable rules is just a sign of inexperience here. There are 2 ways to manage PFC. The old way where all the super powers that be do so and no one dares break the rules. The other is for a strong enough group to make examples of corps that break the rules. Realistically DDB never had this ability and should never have been tasked with the job. I 100% think PFC needs to go and its a time and isk sink for any group that tries to manage it. ty for agreeing and stating your opinions. It is an excuse. Not to take away its purpose of excusing DDB from this hate, since most people think excuse= white lie/irrelevant before the fact. It is relevant.
Those rules were general guides and it was better to overdo it and say the rules are in place and you better follow them than admit we can only do so much, to meta people in following them from the start and slowly realize we aren't enforcing rather than not enforce from the start and give them no reason to fear. Of course, that might make you doubt our word in the future, and predict this stuff, but w/e.
PFC will not be enforceable so long as district locking is this hard/impossible to counter. Of course district locking prevents corps that can't otherwise hold land to stay in MH, but the same could be done by people capable of defending but would rather sit back and farm. Needs to be fixed***
The 2 ways you listed are not realistic. TBH are YOU going to show up everyday to make examples of grievers and trolls? A few months down the line you will realize that they just KEEP coming no matter what. Will you still be coming on everyday by then?
So yeah, anyone who wants to try a crack on policing, not only is it good practice in itself, but you can get some pretty intense matches going when you hate your opponent and what they stand for

What good are rules if they can't be enforced? Seems rather silly to me.
Either have the fortitude to enforce the rules, or give up.
Like I said, its community made. Community. Help if you want to. AE will back the community if they still want PFC to be here. If there is SOMEONE that wants PFC to be here, RA will ensure the existence of PFC. There has ONLY been minor breakings in PFC that the community itself can address themselves. Communicate with your fellow rule abiders.
When things hit the fan you there is NOTHING anyone but RA or Kain or FA or OH or RND can do, then one of us will step in. Until then, its up to the people participating in PC themselves to govern it, because they are able.

You all are way too picky. PFC was never going to be perfect. But would you rather there be rule breakings with at least a majority of the people there getting the fights they came for, or would you rather pretty much no life it beating down on people that have no chance against you because they didn't know about the rules, or they didn't care, or w/e the reason. If you try to scrap it, AE will step in. simple as that. We only deal with things that very few other corps can.

You soiled any and all credibility in the community long ago, but you already know that.
making any reasonable argument you really should utilize an alt that no one know about.
cause seriously, you showed your true colors long ago and most people worth a **** in the community dont forget those kind of things.
step back into the shadows of irrelevancy and keep workin on finding the next thing that u can be good at.
not tryin to be a d1ck, seriously. I have no problem with you as a person, but you having any form of credible input and feedback on this game that you played every single person not on your team the fool for months, just doesnt fly in these parts.
u blackballed yourself, and this particular community is WAY too small for it to ever be pushed aside or forgotten You have a point, but honestly, no. People may never forget about it, but it doesn't mean I don't have a brain. I don't care who knows about what I did, because honestly, the people that aren't going to take me seriously really are only the people that can't get over themselves/can't stop rubbing their ass enough about being treated unfairly.
You're confusing "the community" with those types of people. I will never change my name, or any other bullshit you feel would be better than owning up to what I've done. I'm going to take responsibility for what I did and whatever negative impact that has on what I'm trying to do here, well ****. That's all of your choices to hold that against me rather than listen to what I have to say, not much I can do besides what I already said I won't for obvious reasons.
Now that we've established how I feel, I'm also going to say that I will never change my mind on the subject. Now you either have something to say about the matter at hand, or you don't cubs.

Kain Spero wrote:You are correct that PFC is a community project, but it was created by EoN and Negative Feedback at the end of the CRONOS war. All of the major powers agreed to maintain it and use it as a training ground for their newer members.
When NF originally retired from PC EoN took up the mantel and made PFC less about the biggest fish in the pond having a place to safely duke it out and more about starter corps having a place to get their feet wet when it came to PFC. At this point PFC came closer to being in it's prime that it has before. The problem that this started though is that no longer were the members of PFC making the rules but an outside force.
Not only was there the problem of a litany of rules being made, but there was still never a clear and concise place for those rules. Newer PFC members have to dig through thread after thread and base their perception of what can and can't be done on Fight Club base on rumor and whisper. As one PFC member has put it, rather than enjoying their district they are forced to walk on eggshells fearful that they will break some unspoken rule of PFC and potentially loose their district. This is the sort of ambiguity that needs to be resolved.
Beers, Ariana, and others are right though that without force behind the rules they have no authority or power. Many corporations lurking in the shadows of Molden Health won't respect rules, but they will respect brute force. PFC will likely always be under threat from both without and within.
I do believe that an organized group formed by the members of PFC and with a strong backing will be able to bring order to PFC and ensure its continued operation. Is it guaranteed to work? No, but sitting idly by doesn't accomplish much. DDB has made a valiant attempt to keep order in the chaos and the community can thank them for their service, but there needs to be a new way forward if PFC is to not only survive but thrive. Cool, I'd like to see what genius "better" plan you have for PFC that doesn't include you making empty promises just as we did to keep newer corps with relatively no real combat threat in line.
I assume you're going to be going at a pay to be here profit angle then? Considering PFC as is right now will be completely unprofitable for you, and I have no idea why you would otherwise be interested in wasting time and effort for the sake of players/corps that may or may not stay committed to becoming better. Just saying, if this is a ploy to get rich/dismantle the majority of what PFC stands for right now, AE will step in. You will talk to us about what you're doing or we will be skeptical and probably take action if you're not enforcing the rules agreed upon.
More importantly, I'd like to see you do it without wiping out PFC inhabitants actually interested in the idea behind PFC and actively participating. Thriving would include top efficiency of all of PFC districts being used for this purpose, I assume?

As one PFC member has put it, rather than enjoying their district they are forced to walk on eggshells fearful that they will break some unspoken rule of PFC and potentially loose their district That's a great point. You have connections, make a list of all the PFC rules and get them sticky'ed here in the war room or bump them for a LONG TIME so that everyone can see the exact rules rather than be afraid of unspoken one's.
If you're willing to police PFC via contracting top of the line mercenary's to fight rule breaking noobs, then sure. But unless the community agree's with you milking them for their ISK from PFC to fund it, I don't see anything like that happening.

Arirana may have done bad things in the future, but try to be serious and talk about his arguments without mentioning his past since it's pfc and not district locking or something like that. Hey, it's not like we don't read what he has to say. But, how do you expect me to take him seriously? Or anyone? How do you go from using the biggest in game glitch known to PC - to wanting to fix PC itself? You say people change? I say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. idk what white world Arirana grew up in where, "I'm sorry" forgives, forgets, and rewinds, or if you ignore something you did wrong long enough time erases your crime... but in my world - if you **** me over I'll remember it. Let me clear that up, its all based on opinion I suppose, but it wasn't anymore OP than the core flaylock ever was. Probably even less OP. Not to mention it was 1/16th of ONE team in the entire game doing it. I never broke 40 kills with it, and at best got a 3 kdr, pretty similar to people who used the Core Flaylock when it was OP. To go as far as to say it was the biggest in game glitch, when clearly the reload-sprint glitch takes the cake, it was simply a core flaylock that cost alot of suit optimization to do.
When people started realizing they could SCAN me, call out my position verbally, and kill me quite easily as I run directly at them with 470hp, they started to realize they were just being stupid about it and that it wasn't as good as everyone thought.
Not to take away from how ANNOYING it was and the extremely high amounts of DPS, it was a weapon with a 1m optimal, effective, and absolute range. It required 7 modules for myofribril stimulants, cardiac regulators, and kinetic catalyzers to reach that level of speed and damage, and EVEN then I was a scannable target with predictable radar behavior, and low HP. You remember what it was like when TP found out how to utilize my weaknesses against me, I began to go negative with it, with all of the scans, people no longer firing in my direction nervously missing most of their shots, but determined to deal my 470 hp before I could get close.
For a exploit, it was pretty well balanced in every regard besides the insane amounts of damage per hit, considering how UP melee is without it.
Only talking about this because we can't seem to move on :/

Yeah, nobody wants your opinion on anything
Ever. Because people that were good with the core flaylock, most namely you and the Spec Op Cipher guy, were putting up very similar numbers to me, and the flaylock dealt insane amounts of cqc damage as well. Not only did the flaylock have more range than melee, but it didn't require speed or melee modules. There was no sacrifice besides being ineffective at long range, something the melee exploit had as well.
Dual Flaylocks were capable of dishing out 300 dmg per missile, for 6-8 missiles with a very quick reload speed, at around 1-20m for EZness. The melee exploit dealt 454 dmg per hit, depending on how many melee dmg mods you had, and was capable of hitting someone up to 3 times a second, at 1m. It always came with a hp sacrifice, and always scannable, while core flaylock users could stealth.

Except TTK was still high, so your attacks locked on, and you could do 2000 damage in a split second Yeah sounds just like the flaylock.......rite gais You're a moron. 1500 dmg in 1 second. That was the fastest I could get it. Flaylock was up to 1200 dps, at 1-20m, not 1

They did NOT want it to work that way. Do you need things spelled out for you some more? It's bad enough that what you say is true - that CCP idea of balance is so bad that some weapons seem like cheating - but now you're trying to DEFEND what you did on the basis, "Well, other stuff is pretty cheap too, yo... even if they were intended features and what I did wasn't." btw sota I two hit the colossal titan on normal mode :p
