...used to happen all the time, now I see Celestial Apocalypse pilots flying side by side with VOTF, their (supposedly) sworn enemies for reasons of piracy, CA activities, yadda, yadda, yadda, etc. etc. etc.
Not trying to incite anything or flame, just wondering the reason for their change of heart.
Are VOTF no longer the fearsome baddies they used to be or have Celest finally seen the light and realised that killing indiscrimately and siding with villians is actually a load of fun?
Or have I just missed something that everyone else knows about due to my lack of forum warring?

Celestial Apocalypse is really just a bunch of pirates no different than Burn Eden or Botox Bandets. (Not that thier is nothing wrong with that)

Yeah, all valid reasons, its just Celest used to be the "good guys" in my eyes, Not exactly RP'ing the role but taking the moral high ground whilst doing good deeds like attacking "pirates" (I use the term loosely) and other baddies like Curse Alliance (May it R.I.P. )
Just wondering how they view themselves now and if the current political/power climate has forced them to make a difficult choice in allies or if they just want to kill stuff like the rest of us do?

Well I know theres been a lot of smack between our two corps over the last few weeks, but please don't think what I'm about to type is a smack, or flames in anyway. But the thread will eventually degrade into that anyways....
Celest, seem to have went from the guys in the white hats. Killing off the baddies, and pirates, and doing so effectivly by them selves. Though you hostile to me (and admittidly justifyed in doing so), they were the good guys, who attacked the evil's of the world etc etc...
Now I see what used to be a corp dealing good vs evil, and the betterment of the common man, lossing its edge that made it special. The war with stain, allieing with IMP (everything aside, I think both sides can admit that both of us deserve a KOS from celest.)
Celest seems to have went from a black and white corp, and slipped into a dark shade of grey. The promises of allience haulers in empire, seems to have pulled even the mighty celest towards the dark side.
Not that I really have anything wrong with how you set your standings, your free to do what you want. But it does seem that you've lost the squeeky clean good guy attitude and image that made you guys, a differant and cool corp amounst the hordes of pvp'rs.
Again not a flame, though I'm sure many will take it as such. Fly safe (errm maybe not ;) ) and may we have plenty of fun fights.

CELES is the new m0o (got all political and crap), although probably never will be as effective as they don't go more than five jumps out of Empire. As for VOTF, CELES probably doesn't care about the past since most members of any consiquence from the old days left VOTF for something that wasn't dying.

Edited by: Marichek on 15/06/2005 01:09:01 Just for the record, CELES and F-E have mutual positive standings towards eachother. And for those who are really curious, I made Ender change the standings cuz after two years of fighting them, I just couldn't bring myself to do it! In all seriousness, IMP are great allies and both CELES and F-E set aside differences to make this relationship work.

I am sorry you have to find out like this, but VOTF is not dieing, nor is it going anywhere. I have been a member for a year and a half and will continue to be one until i leave this game.

I'm afraid i have to agree. SA arent the "bad guys" they are an alliance and were not nearly as pirate-esque as MANY other corporations and alliances.
If they wanted to spend their time fighting real pirates they would of done it they made the clear concious decision to kill many of the people they should be protecting (i.e mostly empire dwellers) ---------------

No, I'm sorry you have to find out like this. You guys may be a good corp and you may have fun but the old VOTF is gone. It's dead, it died with CA. Then people like ED left and really, it's in the same state as EV after SA in the eyes of most people. You are your reputation. Glad you're still loyal to your corp though, above all I think that is really important and I'm the same way.
Rise up, destroy all. Not saying it won't happen. But VOTF as a houshold name we all knew is no more. Sorry.

Why are bring this up again? Fact of the matter is that both sides made decistions the others didn't like. Fact of the matter is we could get into a long debate about who began to fly with the others enemys yada yada yada. We never expected VOTF to ask our permision to set its own standings regardless of how we felt, why did you expect supremacy to ask yours? Why does this still burn you up, it happend and its done.
Both sides did what they felt was nessasary for the betterment of thier corp, and not for what they though would make the other happy. And I don't begrudge VOTF/IMP for doing so.

Edited by: Blacklight on 15/06/2005 06:09:41 To be quite honest I for one am dissappointed with Celes falling into the same pattern so many of us did before them, I always thought they'd hold true to their roleplay.
Don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with what they do now, each to their own etc... but it would have been nice if at least one of the old pirate hunting and 'noble' corps had held true to their ideals.

Wrong, Celes sent noobalts in noobcorps (or some 1 man corps) into catch, SE ofcource shoot em down beeing a warzone and all, Celes claimed SE was pirates for shooting down possible spys, and attacked us for that reason. A obvious setup for getting new targets, nothing wrong with wanting more targets. But the way of doing it "you shoot my noobalt down, youre ebil pirates"... One of the less clever made-up reason ive seen.

Celes are moslty vets from almost first month of retail Most of us playing the game almost 2 years. We just wanna PVP and have fun these days without any political crap. We still shoot whoever we think are "bad" and team up with anyone with think is "good"
We dont really post on the forums anymore as they are pretty boring. We arent pirates just PVPs with a cause.
Good - honourble pilots who dont talk smack in local or forums eg VOTF, Red Alliance.
Bad - Shooting at us for no reason, or smack talking in local eg stain, 5 etc.
VOTF in the old days used to be one of our main enemies and we used to smack each other on the forums. I guess we got grudging respect for each other on the battlefield and having flown with them our attitutes have changed. They are honourable, well organised and fun to fly with. End of story.

Celest can do what they want, its their corp, their characters, their time.. but without their roleplay its just another corp. _____________________________________ Perpetually driven, your end is our beginning. "Can I be a consultant for EVE II?" - WhiteDwarf |
