Some of you don't want to do and help with Hive missions, don't want to duel, run away from NFZ to dock, provoking to attack or chase them. Isn't it easy to duel?

As commander of TGFT I feel I am obliged to reply, though to be honest I take no pleasure in doing so. Noblesse Oblige, as they say . I am re-reading all of C. P. Snow, and appropriately I have reached " The sleep of reason " Does Snow induce mining , or does mining induce reading Snow ? Discuss . In 6 months when you have actually read Snow.....

Maalik: you chose to join the guild of "woot Ecka gives 600+ combat lets all gank him" Fine, I have no problem with that , vo is a free form game, but from now on you chase me. You all know I'm not some young fast pvper, You want the xp you take the faction hit. Simple. My days of coming to you for your fun are over.

Ladron: ( other thread , but whatever ) Today , 4 mill trade , 2 mill voys 500 k hive ops. All done by the time you logged on. Timezones. See Posts passim.

Pirren: 75 000 + hive kills , 1100 + queens , 70 + levis . Thats just me. TGFT as a whole has lots. Phone us when you are anywhere in sight.

Dr L, welcome to the world of work. My days of work are almost over, yours have just begun, 50 years of writing pointless things on bits of paper to justify a paycheck await you. I understand your bitterness. Try and take it out on your clients not the rest of us.

Look you lot it is just a game.

Over the years TGFT has always tried to keep it that way. You want us to put the lid on and play hardball, well fine, TGFT will survive it all. You want us to interract and give you some fun then quit the pointless animosity. Your choice, TGFT will survive . SCAR took us on and sank , HAWK , well aye, don't make me laugh. CHRN, all new folk just know you as greifers. CLM, rare enough for the twitchers to take photos....

Ok , enough from me. Whistler feel free to lock it: you have the unenviable task of moderating this stuff. I try to just be neutral , but as commander of the premier trade guild in VO I get dragged into things. A lock at this point would be fine.

Ecka

didn't hawk take nation war from you? just sayin

I love it when Ecka gets pissy rather than staying aloof. It reminds me there's at least the ruin of Scot in there somewhere, rather than just a simpering British fogie.

Though I would like to remind you that only 5, not 50, years of practicing law await me. Given my annual savings rate, I'll have enough saved to live quite decently off just the interest and a part time job by 2011. Throw in a few extra years of biglaw for some more cushion, and then I'm off to do something far, far less unpleasant for the next 45 years.

You enjoy that old age thing, though.

Suggestion(s): Gimme your credits, eh?

Comments: Failure to comply will mean a pile of wrecked "Hunter Green" scraps. Just business, mate.

Eh, TGFT is comprised of more than just you, Ecka. I enjoyed playing with you and your guildmates and I'm sorry that you guys seem to have become so withdrawn. This is all.

I don't want to fill out the form. Sounds like Ecka found the easy road in VO by pyramid scheming, and Lecter found it in real life by being smart, persistent, and working his ass off.

5 years or a whole life? Yeah, it's the pirates life for me.

Complaint Details:_ me bought a john eldritch action figure, it got broken after two days of normal* use. (Ye guys must have localized it to some system where lil children are not very dedicated to the job. ye should increase the beating instead of the wages) I went to the TGFT shop and they refused to refund me, pointing me to a lil sign in klingon language saying that warranty was void in case of damage due to the use of atom or in case of space botanical invasion (crooks!) ________________________________________________

me'd like to have an EckaTaur chew toy : ) when will it be released?
__________________________________________________________________

Comments:__________________________________________________________
I see now how ye guys got rich...
Can also somebody move my pot from Ecka's desk to Hortan's tis more sunny at this season and please remind john what water plants means? (water formula isnt C2H5OH)

Bleed well : )

Heh, good rp BT

I am afraid that the only place I have for you is in my cockpit and that is even a bit cramped. Not sure a half-tonne plant is such a good idea even if the sun would be good for ya.

Now, about your complaint. Sorry about the action doll, you really should have read the warranty. I am willing to supply you with one Eckataur surprise chew-toy (not to be subject to any form of damage by biting or warranty is void, minor pieces of cutlery and razors may be used as stuffing) as show of good faith and even better merchant skills for the reduced price of 1900 standard UIT credits. That is a saving of at least 49 credits (based on major toy shops prices).

Btw, I am sure at least some of the fluid wasn't ethanol. Remember that John's office is the farthest removed from the toilet...;)

Take care now

Hort

well ye sure do drive a hard bargain, but ok for the chew toy. Be sure to pack it with gift wrap, but nothing too fancy, tis for auntie, ye know how she is : )

As far as i know, about the liquid, a detailed molecular analysis reported some acid traces and other aromatic compounds at negligible concentration compared to ethanol, but ye know how's our john... : )

anyway bleed well : )

PS
Do not worry about the action figure warranty i invited the shop keeper to dinner to settle the argument : )

Darn, is that what hes been feeding the plants with? This is almost as bad as the magic 'paperwork chute' he made on day after getting drunk on White Russians and coolant.

The basic idea was to create a chute to move all the paperwork to someone else, but oh no, that wasn't enough!

So he bought an advanced solar-mechanics team, and they installed some black hole sinks in his desk. All the paperwork gets sucked in, and the buffers protect him. Still pretty simple.

The 'chute', instead of being just a small wormhole embedded in a nice hot cuppa tea, was a giant improbability drive about 2 old-earth miles across. He set 5 options.

1: All of the paperwork is converted into old-earth hobnobs, which are then forwarded to the mail system, put into a teleport and held in statis for a week, after which time they will materialize in data form and take over a random computers hard drive. Thank god he hardly ever does this anymore.

2: All of the paperwork is forwarded to the Terminator.

3: It blows up, and he calls the team to work again. Seeing as his office is in the middle of our solar system, all traffic inbound to the dormitories is about 3 hours late.

4: It is converted into low-grade coolant

5: Somehow a pile of satsumas materializes on either mine, Hortan's or Obsidian's desk. We have no idea how this works. Discuss?

---------

Want an Eckataur surprise chew-toy for 100 Altarian dollars? I know you don't like using UiT credits..

I can confirm he used setting number five... Would someone please help dig me out from underneath all these forms?

Hort

I can hire a team of chimpanzees to nom down those satsumas, if you wish?

As long as they don't use the corners to relieve themselves, yeah, please
