Gooood eeeeeveeening Sonoma!!!
Sorry about no news reports for the last few days but we had some "technical difficulties" that have resolved themselves.
Now, for a news recap:
COP is still getting wtfpwnd on a daily and nightly basis. Reports flow in of sightings of COP members cringing in the corners of their houses sucking thumbs, crying uncontrollably. Mental health teams have been dispatched and are actively laughing their collective asses off at them and writing papers. They now have to sneak spawns and are regularly loosing even those. They do manage, for small time periods before SCAM's primary crew rolls in, to get a couple kills due to 4-5+ to 1 odds. But hey..whatever..as long as they feel good enough to join in on the good fights as well. That is what we all pay our money for.
SCAM has not yet started faction town domination but that will come as part of the dismantling of COP, or so I am told. Right now, according to reliable sources, they are having just way too much fun killing COP. The last couple of nights have seen some large group fights with relatively even numbers. You all know what that means for COP. COP Res station ---------> That way. :loser:
III still has most of their folks on the fence or unwilling to fight SCAM. It looks like time will tell which way the schlong will swing on this one. We are still hoping for the best for them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, I am going to step out of character here and voice my own opinion.
Since I have been on this shard, with whatever character I was using...be it red or blue, I have always fought along side III and others against COP, so I am more than a bit uncomfortable killing them. I personally feel the same with folks like Martyr (I even apologized for dismounting him the other night) and Vhinn. Neither of which I have ever had ANY problem with. I think both are effective players and decent folk I would rather fight with than against.
But...when faced with a situation of my guildie being attacked, I have struck out, albeit reluctantly. I am very uncomfortable with it but I will protect my guildies, whoever they may be. It makes me very uncomfortable because I do not think this is who we should be fighting, I came here to kill COP because they offer me consistent targets. But that is not my concern..the Guild GM's get to make those decisions. I may not agree with them but I approach a guild as one should, I will follow my orders because I made the choice to join the guild. I could have said no and I am not a quitter. :gun:
If I had my druthers, they would all be either wearing SCAM tags or the non-faction version of $CAM tag. I firmly believe this is what is needed to finally rid the shard of COP.
Unity.
I have seen it said here a hundred times that folks wish there was unity to rid the shard of it's cancer, Well...you now have your chance. You have the choice of either saying Yes, I will help rid the shard of COP or you say No, I want COP to stay. Your choice. A choice of Yes means that COP would be actively hunted pretty much 24 hours a day by folks all wearing the same tag. Don't get rid of your guilds, stick GM on a crafting character and then get your fighters into SCAM or $CAM. When the end result is achieved, you have the option of going back into your respective guilds and fighting for control. Many of you have wished for that day for a lot of years. Here is your chance. Another guild may come up and take their place..but it will not be COP. And the fight goes on
