Why not base it on each different PC corp to start with. And then go to individuals after. I was considering doing this but everytime I try to write something I get sidetracked. Usually by Dust itself :3

FTFY

Sota is right that there's a lot of history contained in the war room.

I've also taken the time to write a pretty detailed account of PC from my perspective in TP and FA before, but it got really long due to over zealousness in terms of detail and I only made it to January when AE successfully took a district from us (I need to find that thread) and have only briefly alluded to the emergence of ERA.

Just caught up on some of the posts....I don't think that getting the truth would be difficult. Of course, if there are opposing sides to a conflict then the truth may vary. But I'm talking about stories about what led up to one corp/alliance launching an attack. Or, why did one corp disband or was created, etc.

For example, scenes in this book/web series would depict meetings with Mavado & Cubs getting called by whoever represented the Imps. It would display the plot to join forces vs Seraphim. If they could remember, actual conversations would be written and we'd see what the outcome was.

It is very easy to call someone a liar or a hypocrite, but I would think that the best way to weed out the lies and hypocrisy is through silence and meditation. If every one of us focused on ourselves and whether or not we were up to our own standards of living and doing things morally correct then there would be little to no problems.

An attitude of "This person may be lying, but that's not my business and frankly I do not care enough to make it my business."

That's not to say specifically that people who go about weeding out the liars are busybody's, but that people who focus on what other people are or are not doing get less done; considering the fact that no one can control anyone other than themselves. You and I only have the capabilities to take control over you and I from birth; and that is already hard enough to do.

Also, calling other people liars or hypocrites really only translates back to the fact that everyone is whatever we say they are regardless of whether or not what we say they are is who they actually are. Finding out who a person is takes resources (more specifically time) that most of us do not have to sparingly toss out to everyone.

This would go back to priorities. You find people you care about, make them a priority to spend your resources on, and then you remember why exactly you singled them out in the beginning when they prove to be human and make a mistake that doesn't make you happy.

Yes, well, most people are biased; even yourself. You saw things as an OG Imperfect and Shiyou saw things as an OG AE member. To each their own. Perhaps, the best source would be someone whose loyalty has not been pledged. Loyalty usually requires bias, does it not?

There you go dubs, lots of Dust history compiled into 1 spot.

By all means. Take the wheel if you have the resource to do it.

I'm going to make an observation you may or may not appreciate but it's for your benefit.

You seem like you have the ability and creativity to accomplish many different things, but you do nothing. You claim to not be a leader and yet know how people should be led. Sounds to me like you are at war with yourself and what you want.

Why not actually put your devices out there and see how they fair? You are only knocking yourself out as a contender by doing nothing and it kind of gets annoying to hear all this product you have without actually seeing the merchandise. Because obviously if you have something that is great, we all want to see it and support you.

I was not referring to that, first of all. Secondly, when was SoTa CEO?

Actually, if I'm up on my DUST history correctly (Which I am), you were not the original CEO of Heavens Lost Property. When the original CEO (B1ack ice) was unavailable in-game due to real life family emergency the position was agreed to be taken over by you, Blaz3 X, Anon Illuminati. You did not take CEO, you handed it off to Anon, who handed it off to Blaze when Anon went off to paint his walls and play other games, until B1ack ice came back after fanfest and retrieved the title from Kain since no one in leadership was active in-game.

And, prior to that, Heimdallr69 was CEO of Ancient Ecchi, which was the temporary Corp until you could find a permanent name for the Anime Corporation representing Anime Empire.

You were only ever actually CEO of HvLP before it's final demise after B1ack ice and you attempted to get it up and running again for the second time.

I will say this: it sounds to me like your intent was to be CEO from the beginning and you should have made that clear. I am confident you would have had less problems had you done so as far as HvLP's conclusion goes.

Any gaps in this? Did you initially hold CEO for a time between B1ack's departure and the position being passed to Anon?

I think that you read too much into things you should not read into. No one you mentioned feels any accomplishment whatsoever about anything regarding HvLP, especially when they were not there to get anything done. You did most of the legwork and you pulled strings.

Don't accuse people you don't really know or understand apparently based off of absolutely nothing. These are the simple facts and I'm making observations. If we are taking a trip through memory lane to get to the history around here then some of us are going to have to maintain some semblance of humility. In order to run a corporation, you are right; it takes many different personalities and characters with different abilities given a chance to reach their potentials and so every success and failure is not on one person but on everyone. That is what teamwork is.

I really don't care about whatever you just said.

Perhaps you will reread what I wrote and realize you are the idiot when you understood the complexity it took to turn something extremely simple into whatever THAT was. Paranoia?

You really should get over that.

Also, I shall end this with complimenting you. You have great taste in music. :)

By the way, insecurity is a weakness; Humility is a strength. Large difference between the two and only one can be played in a winning hand.

Are you okay mentally? I'm not going to outright call you dumb or stupid. That would be rude.

"It only had a time and place when meeting with others to get something done" -SoTa PoP

Why on Earth would I apply humility in any other situation. DUH, that's what I was referring to.

Think harder please...

My tags are just heavenly!

You're jealous.

SoTa, you really don't have much tenacity, do you?

Oh my God

I just got the "Jesus never loved children he wasn't Catholic" joke.

Yes I would love to see romans delusions wrote down into a book.

Will I be getting a chapter??

If not then it's cool, send me a copy anyways and I'll put it in the bathroom. I'll read it eventually.

hell yea I am a damned good liar.


Like when I convinced everyone I had like 15 billion. Don't forget to put that part in. You already know the whole story from being there hahah.

I don't know who Ayuwaza is but it is definitely female

Everyone sees whatever they want to see.

Secondly, I essentially deleted everyone and logged out of Skype. I didn't block anyone though.

You stole 40b from TP

lies

I'm curious why anyone is still posting on these forums and holding onto this game for dear life?

Even the past vets do not take this game as seriously as the rest of you have.

I can see that. I certainly have my own reasons for being here; being the fact that I did have friendships and met people on here I valued and there really isn't any other forums to go on and write. The layout for the different forums accessible online are not really laid out very well; the web designers could use some serious help. I also don't really have much time for video gaming with my current schedule and maybe it has to do with responsibilities and becoming an adult, but I don't really enjoy video games that much anymore.

Besides that, I don't know about you all but I really don't feel inclined to play DUST ever again even if it were ported over to PS4 or PC. CCP has drawn this out for far too long and it sort of leaves a bad taste. If only there were a list large enough for the amount of things CCP could have done and did not do.

Agreed. Last time I was on it was unbearable in pubs. I don't want to imagine what PC is like...

As far as the game goes, you realize that it would need a lot of work to be fun again, right?

It's not just game mechanics at this point. CCP has not had the greatest rep with DUST. They would probably need to recreate the same concept for a different game and cut ties with this one. There was not enough marketing, but the marketing it did have did hit home with more people than you'd think. There are many people who have actually tried the game and then immediately left because they hate it. Even though there are some "good" people left on here they are fewer and farther between than ever before. I, personally, would want to see the community and the in-game character content reset completely along with the game mechanics that are in desperate need of help being fixed.

I would go on to explain why that would be the best course of action in any future that this game has, but I request you think about it for yourself and get back to me. Perhaps we can have a good debate going and I'll push/explain my point.

I'm still playing Dust because what is the alternative?

A full reset would give the accomplished Vets of the game something to work towards/for again and would make the gaming experience far more inviting for both new players and old to be a part of; revitalizing the community.

I would also vote for the ability to reset all character content, including name, race, faction, etc.

For those of you who are not aware, (I will use Heimdallr69 as an example since he specifically mentioned this):

If you were to biomass your toon you would immediately be able to create a new character with the same exact name and specs as your original. So, if everything would be reset you would not lose out on the name if you chose to reinstate it.

This game is mainly social, even the in-game environment is run off of social interaction. Wars are started and ended with people. So, raising the community from the dead would be the first and most important step in saving DUST514 (on par with fixing obvious broken game mechanics, namely lag) and then CCP should move onto getting more game content and fixing the smaller problems.

I have a huge archive of old pictures. Chromosome pictures. The beginning of PC and a lot of fights. Only i can see them and im glad i did. I have all of dust's PC history in its entirety on the palm of my hands. I can see who is being biased here. I just wanna point something out to YDUBBS. I know that he is in my corp and has high views of EoN since he was in it but do not say that TP was this dominant force for three months when i have pictures of AE and TP butting heads equally.

I've never seen anything of you but just you pouting on the forums
