Well The War was fun to start , we were down to the last 3 , Amotoma , Spidey and mimic. Then 4 members of SCAR , MIke L , Nautargos, Star Buck and Keira Willenium thought it would be fun to come back and mess things up. You idiots think I spend all week earning the NW prize money just to have you spoil things ? I actually expected better of you, somebody been spiking the Serco ale? .... sheesh ....

I'll hold the prize money over till next week .
The 20 million cr Prize, sponsored jointly by TGFT , M.Wittman , Waldoze, Pasquel, John Eldritch and Tohasandra Chi.

My Thanks to all the newer players that joined in , practice and kill me next time ;-)

May I ask all players to stay close to their nation group and remain relatively stationary at the start , makes it easier for me to record names .

The wins: (Thanks RentaGhost)

Itani 48
Serco 21
UIT 48
Grey 0

Same time , same place next week
Ecka

I hope SCAR gives the guilty the boot.

correction

Amotoma Elbryon lord spidey and mimic

& kalb was on the grey team.

& i would have conceded if thespian hadn't spoiled my teams odds.

Aye.
Ecka, you should also state that all players watching in an EC should keep their distance instead of getting in the middle of the action.

& ... i hope this is recorded as an itani victory.

Well, observers should stay 1 k away , use the variable zoom bind for observing . I do .

I'm not recording his as a result for anyone , in theory mimic could have won .

Yeah this is pretty clearly an Itani victory. But at the very least why not split the prize money among the people that survived into the end. And I hope that these people will be barred from future NWs? Or at least the next few until they pay the price for their actions?

And yeah, I expect way better out of Mike and Keira. Star Buck has always had a questionable sense of right and wrong, and I don't know how you can expect anything better from a guy that spends most of his life scripting for an MMO.

SCAR regards their actions today as a great victory. I will not go into the reasons why, or waste my time attempting to talk sense into anyone involved. I merely take the following action- my first and last as a council member of SCAR.

Eläköön! Kyy kyykaarme!

fair point aramarth . acknowldged .

Not helping the whole people viewing serco as the bad guys thing...

that is very hypocritical of you, vehement, seeing as you just finished your one-man anti-blue-crusade in itani space.

i could argue that we 'trashed' nw for the same reasons, ie focussing attention on the lack of serco in game.

and no, i dont regard it as a 'great scar victory' so don't tell me what i'm thinking.

however, this is getting off-topic.

my apologies to ecka, tgft and all participants of nw for the actions today of SCAR. may i assure you this is a never-to-be repeated one-off. and that in the future similar actions by any member of scar will lead to expulsion.

As I made clear, my criticism is directed at the attack on a player-run event. At no time did my crusade tread upon the sacred ground of any player's selfless hard work in such an event.

If I had browbeaten you for attacking people against their will, then I would be a hypocrite. This is not what I did. The crime is not non-consensual PvP.

In a way, not declaring a result rewards those four. I should have let spidey kill me at the end but alas I lost perspective.

I'm really disappointed in SCAR, I don't think new Serco should be brought up in a guild which does this kind of thing.

its a guild made with Roda like people who cant fight themselves out of a wet paper bag :D

shooty shooty

The same could be said for Itan which teaches noobs to backroll and run. The only one with some integrity in that guild is spidey, and even I remember what he was like back when he sucked.

-Nautargos

Excuse me? To my knowledge we do not teach our guildmembers to backroll and run, and that has NOTHING at ALL to do with what you did.

Well, you're here condemning our guild and advising new pilots to stay the hell away from us. I'll do the same if you want to boil it down to that.

-Nautargos

This has happened before, and will happen again.

What SCAR does not realize is that their actions are really insignificant. The only attention they got was bad attention. Good job :)

Makes me proud to have no serco characters these days.
