Message: Reply about CLM threat in Latos
From: The Vipers [VPR]

To all in the free universe,

The band of outlaws, Cargo Liberation Movement [CLM], has no official claim to Latos or even the popular wormhole sector, Latos H-2. They are operating well outside their ability in attempt to control an entire system. Their recent claim of Latos, in its extreme measure, is a result of fear that they are losing.

We urge pilots to not give in to this violence and piracy. Please call upon the Vipers on channel 4357 for assisted travel through the region.

Any claim of ownership or control of officially unclaimed territory with the intent to restrict or disrupt the free movement of people and cargo will be met with an appropriate response.

Trade lanes remain free for all.

[VPR]

In response to this, just who makes official judgements in greyspace? Certainly not Vipers, nor any nation, and if we are claiming it, then its not unclaimed is it?

Hehe, the Vipers are SCAAAAAARED!

One day very soon the H2 WH will be so choked with cargo and debris nothing will get through, whether CLM is there or not.

Hehe, claiming something as your property only works if ruling factions, or even general populace recognizes your claim and authorizes it. Otherwise, expect to have "trespassers."
Nov 29, 2006 tumblemonster link
We LIKE trespassers!

Latos remains free and unclaimed territory!

From: Concerned Citizen

To Viper Council specifically and the "free" universe generally,

It's LOSING not LOOSING! Loose(loos) != lose(looz).
(I loose rockets upon losers that can't distinguish between lose and loose.)

Thank you for your consideration,
Concerned Citizen

Im so glad we are blessed with all these English teachers in this game

While we're nitpicking at grammar:

"in it's extreme measure" is incorrect, it should be "in its extreme measure". It's is shorthand for "it is", its denotes ownership.

But if you meant to use "it is", then that whole line of yours makes no sense at all.

Keep in mind that many players speak english as their second or even third langauge. I'd like to see you guys learn a few languages and then write perfectly in them all. Back to the RP'ing please. Pretend that your universal translator is busted or something.

Fat, please also keep in mind that many players speak 'retard' as their first language and should be treated as such.

Carry on.

I can only reiterate that laying claim to any territory in grey is folly. The means to take over and defend any given amount of space are not available; this has been nearly discussed to death in another thread.
It's great for RP purposes, though :)

[edit: thx, toshiro]

(ooc: no need to be name calling, Lecter. grow up.)

Good point, it's impossible for CLM to declare ownership of grey space. Maybe it has been tried and discussed before, but this has some baring to the climate in Latos this coming December. There will be plenty of opposition for those whom declare ownership of space for the purpose of pirating and hindering free trade.

I swear to God if CLM messes up Santa's trip through Latos this year.. Heads will roll!!!

TRAILOX KILLED SANTA!!!

Santa is actually a long-time honorary member of the Viper guild and receives the full protection that comes with that position. What did you think he spends the rest of his year really doing? Well I can tell you...

Blasting pirate scum!

All of CLM's holiday gifts will in fact be low yield explosive devices wrapped with colorful paper and bows. VPR felt it only fair to issue an official warning.

"Santa" also flies under the aliases "Santa_Clause", "KrisKringle", "ho_ho_hold the piracy!", and "jolly saint rat killer". He can be identified by his use of antlered mammaliaformes to pull his Rev C.

You have been warned.
