When everyone plays for everyone, no one has an identity.
Sad, I guess, but PC turned into elementary school draft dodge ball.
Personally, I blame CCP for forcing the concept of mercenaries onto the player identity instead of simply making it a thing that could be done. When everyone thinks the ideal way to play is to be without a discernible flag, well...
Anyway, I hate to say it but D4GG3R you are probably one of the biggest examples of this. One of the running jokes we had during the FA/AE vs Rust War was that when you bailed on Rust we would consider the war officially over. You're like the Dust version of the ground hog seeing his shadow at the start of spring. Except instead of measuring the length of a season, you measure the length of a war by bailing on whoever you're with at the time.
I bailed on FA twice. Why? First time, you no showed all of your battles with AE. Second time? Started no showing your battles against ROFL. I see no showing as giving up. I don't want to fight with a group that has given up. You may see it different, but that is how it is in my mind.
I left rust because of language barrier, I couldn't really communicate with my corp mates.
I left 0H because radar removed everyone's roles and essentially made us unable to do anything.
And now I sit in Opus :)
You may see it as bandwagon corp hopping, but sometimes there is a reason to my abrupt departure. Yes I'm going to bail if you give up, no matter how strategic it may be.
You call it giving up, I call it losing interest. But even if it was giving up, that's perfectly fine. It is OK to give up on a war when conditions are not going your way and the stress levels get too high. You, however, are guilty of something far worse. You give up on people.
And you will bail on Opus as well. You are what you are. A person with no home who claims others give up, but who has a track record of doing exactly that over and over again.
For all the giving up you seem to think we do, you may notice that our identity still exists and consistently resurfaces to cause trouble. So did we really give up? How many recessions has FA endured and come back from? If ones success in the game is measurable only by specific wars, then you have lost every one you have ever been a part of. If the game is measurable by how well one survives as an enduring entity, you've never really been a part of one.
You are a vagabond good sir, and I don't mean that as any kind of a compliment. It is not a good thing to be the butt of leadership jokes about when a war will end. Even worse a true solo player when your only reputation is being on the side of losing wars.
