Does it matter?

The terms of anything you guys come up with aren't followed by your alliance members.

I'm not trying to flame there either. Just stating the obvious.

actually I think it does. Lets face it, eon has the corps with the numbers to attack anyone. many of you see that some do this regardless of what is said or planned, hence this attitude.

If we can get a contingent on what this supposed separation of corps we all want in place, then perhaps we can finally sort things and truly separate these 'indie' corps from the rest and lots more good fights will ensue

We are largely done with PC.

You guys talk like you are the good guys here. You have the right and the ability to attack anyone you like.

You told us you were attacking because you wanted to fight everyone in our alliance.

You attacked until you took a district. That's fine, because you can.

But that's certainly not what you stated you were doing.

So you lose credibility. And we aren't the only ones. I'm sure all these Indy corps that sent you money for districts love that you can't control the terms of your sale.

Everybody knows that you and Outer Heaven are the top corps out there right now. But what fun is it to wipe everyone out of PC?

Radar gets on here talking like he's a good guy too and they don't stop until they've taken all your districts.

I just don't understand what there is left to prove. If you and your peeps don't allow some breathing room for the rest of Dust then the game is going to shrivel up and die. It could take CCP six months to get some more content in here.

I'm sick and tired of getting my ass kicked by you guys. I'd rather fight guys that are on our level and get better. But we can't.

Hell there are a lot of corps in Eon that aren't getting any better because they aren't able to fend for themselves. At the first sign of weakness they call in the big dogs.

These aren't tears either. Because I'm past giving a **** about PC. But I would like to have some interesting fights from time to time and that doesn't happen 99% of the time in pubs. So WTF is left to do?

I respect what you guys have done. It is/was impressive. But if you guys don't back off you will be the kings of a shitpile.

'indie' = independant is wut i assumed b4 reading this. but......ok btw, still wanting to pick your brain for a few minutes, cubs. this was the original definition I used, yes. what we now see is not necessarily that case, which is why we are discussing it openly to hopefully gain a contingent on it **** dude. b4 i saw this post, i considered my corp to b a indie corp, as we are alliance-less and on the newb(ish) side of things (only bc we havent gotten into PC YET bc not all my guys are skilled up enough) i dont understand tho why being active in PC or holding a district would have anything to do with it the big dogs may have earned thier status, or they may not have. but they shouldnt b changing the way a frickin word is used. but then again.....im just sputtering nonsense. prob not that big of a deal. i swear to u tho, if u dont grp with me soon, im gonna kidnap your dog. or cat. or wutever.

For instance: Low Tier: New, inexperienced, entering PC. Once you leave low tier, you aren't coming back. Mid Tier: Stable, less competitive. As a corp or alliance, capable of fielding full teams, and winning against other midtier corps. Collapsed top tier alliances and corps might also now be classed here. Top Tier: Those who would pubstomp any Mid Tier or Low Tier corps or alliances they attacked. Highly competitive, large territory is likely or possible. all this does is label ppl/corps as 'scrubs' or 'not a scrub' honestly.....i appreciate what u are trying to do here, but i think u should reconsider. at the same time, it IS a online gaming community im talking about (little debate with myself here) i dont mind being a low tier now, as i will eventually pull my corp into mid tier. its just that all i see here is another way to label the 'not-so-good players/corps as scrubs or wutever other lingo us gamers use.
