Synopsis:
Retractile, working hard on his 6th PoS stripe, loses four moths and six centaurs in the process of successfully delivering 96 crates of Fitness Equipment. Veracity was credited with killing three, though that number ought to have been six but for Ret's tendency to off himself with swarms.

Best read I've had in a while, this is the CLM backstory right?

Should be stickied!

/Amo

Oh my.

I've been telling you guys this forever

/me kicks Amo back under the rock! Stay down.

See! Anti-Pirates = Pirates.

/me still waits for azumi to pose for that pinup on his ship

will a picture do? Or do I have to stand for like five minutes for the bot to finish it?

/me throws small heart-shaped pebbles at Azumi from under the rock

a picture will do risque as you want, i'll be hand painting it.... if you care to pose certainly i'll paint you.

now if we only get ret to finally admit that he is a trader, the universe shell be in piece again.

That was exactly my point Pointsman, but of course they do not reach the same conclusion because it would shatter their illusion of superiority. :)

In THEIR illusion, its ok for anti-pirates to pirate at anytime, but a pirate is never supposed to do anything but...skewed logic I know, but what can you do? If Ret or any member of CLM decides to do something other than pirate, as long as it isnt against our policy they may do so. Can any of these other organizations say that they allow their members the same leeway?

For instance, would Viper allow Veracity to pirate on his off days? NO

Would TGFT endorse say Zathras, putting on an eyepatch and drinking rum in their hallways? I think not likely.

So to anyone out there that wants to, scoff is you must, it doesn't harm anyone, it just shows your own envy that you can not do whatever it is you want to do, so you put others down that do :)

Would TGFT endorse say Zathras, putting on an eyepatch and drinking rum in their hallways? I think not likely.

Actually, from what I've heard, the eyepatch-wearing, rum-drinking vagabond has supposedly been one of the more popular costumes at HQ around Halloween time...

Well, we had an honorary TGFT member at our last party too. For what I've heard, Fluffy was none the worse for wear afterwards.

As long as they still pay when we pirate them, or even explode in satisfying blooms of fire they can call me whatever they want. As long as they understand that a long string of positrons is a perfectly good reply.

One day, your long string of positrons might actually hit me before my ions overcome the armor on your centurion, right? One can always hope.

Oh wait, I'm not TGFT, nor a trader. I guess I don't count.

I can't hit anything these days dear. Besides, I never fire long strings of positrons at you. I can't hit you anyway.

And you always call me nice names, so keep that up
