There also had been question recently as to whether or not ITAN was truly in bed with the current TGFT/VOID fiasco; I thought this bit of footage from Friday might help the nonbelievers.

why do your bullshit videos keep having errors 3 seconds into playback?

Happens to me too when I try to watch them in Safari, Chrome doesn't have that problem.

Btw, nice collection of vids, thanks for posting them Nith.

haha good video there though, I remember that fun moment. Only time I died all night, actually.

I didn't see any TGFT in that video, so I'm not sure how you back up your claim about their involvement. All I see is VOID and ITAN fighting common enemies.

First time I've noticed EDIT / FAMY integration into Voce though...maybe I just haven't paid attention to it before. I guess we can officially confirm that!

Thanks for the feedback on errors, it is truly appreciated and will be looked into.

@greenwall
The TGFT connection is Sieger, unless you gave him the boot.

No need to lie about how often you died, I died a few as well, nothing to be ashamed of.

Perhaps you would know more about about the innerworkings of the service-for-credit industry and the community that is it's lifeblood, if you yourself were not a yellow-bellied ITAN boot-lickin trader.

Yarr!

Sieger hasn't been in TGFT for ages.

Yarr.

When you became VOID's CO you had a golden opportunity to correct many of the miscalculations made by the previous CO of VOID. I will not deny the fact that you are indeed a very good combat pilot. So was the last CO. However, he was able to amass an impressive force. What he did with that force was his first, and most crippling mistake: He gave power to the wrong members and in doing so was eventually in a official peace treaty with TGFT.

Having created enemies on every side due to his new union with the traders, and the public discrediting of our and several other like minded groups' services and products, things started to unwind. For he then was also forced to fight as the only militaristic force on the TGFT side of the war with SKV.

There would be big boisterous holds of b8, and then members getting picked to pieces everywhere else because the only friends they had were TGFT (who were all hiding). Members began leaving, and even Blaqk threw up his arms and handed you the reigns...

And what did you do? Did you go kissing all of the feet of those your predecessor had stepped on, begging for forgiveness for the blunders that had been made?

No. You in fact did not even attempt parlay. You began your command by flying around solo spouting forth words like "chaos". Your scattered forces continued to get isolated and destroyed to the point they either begin paying for protection or joining other guilds. You now only have handful of good combat pilots, and instead of attempting to recruit as Blaqk did, you up the requirements to some vet only level of pks; essentially halting VOID recruitment, as anyone that meets them is already in a war with you. The talk of chaos has stopped and in desperation you attempt to seek refuge with ITAN, the guild that has been in TGFT's pocket for years to the point of being shunned by their own SKV kin.

As the weight of the so many poor choices pull VOID farther down, and the wall of dents are scrap floating between Selina and Itani space where you have chosen to hide, it's nice to see that you are able to convince yourself that alliances formed in dark alleys are what is sinking your ship.

As essentially the public face of FAMY, they should award you at least a leadership position, Sir. For now you are still only speaking as a mere member.

I enjoy the guessing game you are playing, because that's really all it is. What competant VOID pilots jumped ship after Blaqk left? What evidence have you seen that any one of my long standing enemies is interested in forgetting past grievances? I have not, do not, and will not ever "kiss feet". Nor will VOID ever do so under my command.

Those who know me in game know I am both a reasonable, trustworthy and valuable ally and a viscious and unforgiving enemy. Whichever side of me anyone wants to participate with is up to them.

The fact is that I have yet to see a FAMY pilot online recently that can reliably defeat me. Combine this with the reality that I'm a mediocre pilot at best, I'm sorry to say that FAMY's days of being a significant threat to day-to-day grayspace activities are behind us. Who am I kidding, I'm not really sorry! yar har. FAMY's death has been a long time coming and perhaps you will be the one to see it through!

In the meantime we will enjoy your well made videos and meet you in battle with superior tactics and skill. VOID is not sinking, matey. Far from it. Rather, when you have had enough pulling the drowning weight of the entire FAMY guild due to poor activity, and most members playing on their clown alts known as EDIT, and YT, Savet and Hawkfeather being ineffective and absent leaders, lets talk. You deserve better.

This.

The problem behind that is that I see zero FAMY pilots in my flights through grey. I've flown the whole length yesterday when 100 suggested that there was 1 FAMY online somewhere in grey, POSSIBLY blockading a wormhole. Who did I find? Not FAMY for sure.

Nithandreal, I realize that you are FAMY's only pilot left who has a general idea of HOW to pilot a ship at all. Granted, sometimes YT is on 100. Sometimes you even recruited a newb but he plays VO for like 3 days and then is gone. You can't play the "You are so inactive!" card against us when your guild alone is no threat at all.

There were a few FAMY pilots I respected, even when I had the trader RP and defended XCs. Footballprophet was one of them. But he's gone and so is the rest of the FAMY members who were reasonable dudes.

I have sat on FAMY council in the past, honestly fancy titles and the like hold very little interest for me, glad you seem to have such a high opinion however.

I didn't guess the fact that you guys were 69 members when Blaqk was commanding several days ago, and now you are ruling and it is 64 members. (and that counts blaqk still being on the member list).

I also know that one that has been able to beat me in about half of our engagements is currently in talks with YT about making reparations and joining La Familia. I personally haven't been involved in recruitment since I was sitting on a council seat doing that kind of thing. Nor will I destroy the confidence of the individual before they have made their own decision.

Again you seem to take a great deal of time trying to convince everyone how dead FAMY is, in response to a post where I hadn't made claims about my own guild at all. Furthermore I don't believe I said anything about yours being inactive either. This game isn't just about showing up, it's about the decisions you make once you do. It's just summertime mate, we've all got members who are on a white beach somewhere for a little bit. I would hold nothing against you or VOID if you say were away for a week with your kids or something. Thats just life, I have spend many days this summer hanging out with loads of FAMY, different members are around in my videos. If my mates and leaders were to however, form alliances with TGFT and ITAN while going around calling us pirates......then I would probably leave.

Our charter and products are not in question, our message has been clear and our stance in regards to trade and travel unchanged for generations. While you use your guilds potential to protect the very ideals that you claim to be against, those of order, of free trade, of Nationalistic interests.

Some days when I log on I have less FAMY around to pass the rum than others. Everyday you log as a VOID under the current agenda, you log on as a joke, regardless of how many jokes are on either side of you.

-VOID loves a good joke, but we don't joke about combat ability, unlike FAMY and EDIT.

-VOID lost members due to idiotic enemies revealing their spy alts in very obvious ways.

-formal alliances with TGFT or ITAN will never occur under my leadership, as it's completely antithetical to the pirate way of life. I would imagine the same goes for them.

-I have been in talks with several FAMY members about defecting to the more capable, honorable ranks of VOID. Funny how things work out!

"Joke" was not in reference to combat ability.

"formal alliances with TGFT or ITAN will never occur under my leadership"

Actions speak louder than words.
Aug 14, 2016 greenwall link
Actions speak louder than words.

Aye, which is why you haven't seen any actions that would indicate any formal aliiance has taken place.
Aug 14, 2016 Space Pancakes link
its up there ^
(don't use safari, still haven't figured that one out yet)

Unless you are implying that Harpo was paying for your services? The honorable ITAN would never do such a thing! He claims to be protecting the very border from the likes of pirate scum.

So either Harpo is lying and ITAN has been forced to use privateers in an act of desperation

Or

You are lying, and harpo was just protecting a yellow bellied blueberry trader.



(**edit** okay, so harpo may have admitted to needing to work with pirates out of desperation while I was writing my post, I still stand by most of what I said)

VOID does business with a lot of people. If you want to know more about it, leave famy and join up, bro.
Aug 14, 2016 Space Pancakes link
Yeah, Blaqk would always invite me every couple days as well.
I would have too hard a time sitting in my flight-seat with TGFT's hand so far up my butt.

Plus, FAMY's got killer dental benefits.

At this point in time there is no guild in VO that can accomplish anything significant without working with others. On a recent day I saw members of 5 different pirate guilds (FAMY(1), EDIT(5), VOID(3), #die(1), @x(1)), two itani guilds (ITAN(5), SKV(1)), one Serco guild (ONE(1)), one trade guild (TRI(2)) and some 'other' guilds (ROCK(2), TIDE(2). I didn't see any TGFT or INV. I also saw maybe 5-10 unguided newer players, most of them in Dau.

This is just the counts from one person's perspective, but it does imply that VO is a fractured landscape.

I'm sorry to hear that you have needing to stoop to the point of using unscrupulous individuals. I shall inform our Itani members in an effort to help you save face. Say no more my friend, this agent can read between the lines!
