"I'm just curious, and am in no way shape or form implying that i have witnessed any such behavior..... BUT what if an IA member is found to BE pirating?"

Well, that sort of behaviour is against IA rules as stated in the constitution. So the member in question would receive appropriate punishment up to and including expulsion from the guild.

"Vipers do not engage in CTC."

Ha! Take a look at just last weeks stats:

Not only do they play but they play for the itani only.

"I'm just curious, and am in no way shape or form implying that i have witnessed any such behavior..... BUT what if an IA member is found to BE pirating?"

Hehe, why do you think I "left" IA so fast? ;p They may have people that used some really lame PvP tactics but they don't have any pirates in their guild.

How ever I tend to shoot at Sercos as little as I can due to the fact that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. IA and VRP are not my friends and the Serco nation will soon see that VPR is just a cover for a new Itani SS force that are promoted under the guise of "peace keeping."

::Any just guild Serco, Itani, UIT is welcome to seek alliance with the Vipers against pirates. It is in the interest of all law abiding nations to have regulated space lanes.
::

wait, regulated spacelanes in unregulated space? seems kinda odd to me :)

Maso did 8 Itani deliveries with Itani cargo, but Phaserlight did 9 Serco deliveries, allso with Itani cargo... just for your info.

Concerning CtC and my person: I never kill transports and if I run over CtC cargo, I finish the transport's job and bring it to the nation it belongs to.

what happens when the ctc-er was a known pirate?

So I guess I was seeing things when I saw y'all go after serco voys?

Also did y'all take a look at Mark McDoogle's stats? 19 itani delverys and all from Serco voys. How nice that they "don't pick sides." They ain't foolin no one.

Read Hawkeyes link Borb, you're not contradicting anything...

No Mark McDoogle in the list.
All you rats try to do is make us look bad while you better look at your hollographic display in mirror mode. We are not the ones making widows of traders wives. You are twisting the facts.

Apparently the disinformation/propaganda sub-program cannot work properly when installed on reengineered implants. Come to the Tunguska Hospital, Borb, we will be happy to fix that for a moderate fee.

"Shape: Those extra bonds formed wont last long once a few Serco lose there valuable cargo to there BL 'assistants'. BL is no ally of the Serco people."

Actually, we've never had too many problems with the serco over CTC cargo, they play the game, and its evolved into a healthy competitiveness. They realize that money isn't really "worth" anything, and so if we manage to pick up some cargo, they're willing to pay (see MysticRogue, Mr_spuck, Lin, RelayeR...etc).

Unlike the itani, who seem to be offended by the very idea of "extra participants".

Furthermore, I think the serco realize that both they and the itani can't join together in the VPR's... Spider is not going to fly next to Sun Tzu and Millenium Blackhawk to pursue a pirate.

The Serco are very laid back, so I'd suggest an alliance with them on that principle alone. I mean, we're still pirates, but serco warriors need not be afraid of us.

<RP>What is all this whining about? BL is supposed to be a guild of though guys. Come on girls. Stop the complaining.</RP>
Mar 02, 2005 Sun Tzu link
They do not complain. From the very first post they are trying to justify a [decided?/desired?] alignment with Serco forces for CtC [for other purposes as well?]. The IA-VPR alliance is nothing but an excuse for it.

I must admit that Shape is quite good in this exercise. An example taken from his last post where IA is no longer mentioned but "itani": "Spider is not going to fly next to Sun Tzu and Millenium Blackhawk to pursue a pirate" - I'm flattered to see my name associated with two much better pilots than me, but I am not IA and I do not fly with Vipers. I am member of IDF and IDF has nothing to do whatsoever with this IA-VPR alliance.

Eh, keep me out of this =P.

/me kicks Shape butt.

Hehe, Sun, I forgot you weren't IA, I guess I sort of assumed. Sorry, bout that.

And frankly, I like being non-denominational. But, I think the evidence shows that the pirates are a resource when it comes to CTC. If the itani wish to come out so strongly against using that resource, then we have no recourse but to find employment elsewhere.

See you guys round the galaxies.

I don't like to think of us as just pirates per-say but more of mercenaries who happen to pirate on the side.

And I'm with shape in the main message of this post do you want us to take our work else where (i.e. to your competition)

ArAsH: I'm sure as your newer to VPR you don't remember that mark was once one of you. And also that was just one week of CtC you want to go looking though the other weeks?

You're saying we are responsible for the actions of people who have left our guild Borb? I don't remember him being in it either actually, must not have been for long.

Besides, the link which you refuse to read clearly states that Vipers MAY engage in CtC on thier own time, it is NOT however a guild sanctioned activity. So it really doesn't matter what stats you pull up. No one is saying our members never touch the cargo. Your arguing with youself, go see Dr. Sun for that upgrade.

The Vipers are neutral and won't have it any other way. Your propaganda can't change that. I'm sorry you want us to be bad guys but that role is already taken.

If you want BL to ally with Serco why don't you just ask them instead of trying to smear us? It won't help BL, privateers are still pirates in grey space.

>I don't like to think of us as just pirates per-say but more of >mercenaries who happen to pirate on the side.

That would make you a um ... pirate.

Shape: The cargo I was refering to would be the cargo that BL steals from Serco traders not the CtC cargo. Why are you so desperate to drag the Vipers into CtC (which to most of our members is uninteresting at best). As I stated above if you want a Serco alliance then ask them.

Pirates waging a Viper smear campaign seems a little sad...
Mar 02, 2005 Shapenaji link
Haha, sad? We're pirates, this is what we do :P

apart from the wenching/drinking/finding fabulous things to wear with our hat and parrots

I did (and still kinda do) actually think you were talking about the CTC cargo, and I believe that is why the IA joined forces with the VPR's to begin with, considering that they are a CTC focused guild. Hence, I was pointing out that the serco have no such problem with our work ethic. And are happy to pay us for our services as mercenaries.

And I'm getting a lot of responses from VPR's. I really have no issue with you guys in the frame of the alliance. Up until earlier in this post I had no idea you EVER participated in CTC. (Spider, as a serco, was the one who was a bit worried about that)

However, for IA, as a guild to join forces with Pirate hunters, does make this CTC related. It means they somehow see BL as a threat in the CTC competition. I'm just enlightening them on the fact that if they do decide to become hunters in addition, they lose the ability to partake of us as mercenaries.

And there's only one other buyer in town.
