Well we have some guns too. You could have had a
friendly-to-neutral neighbor on your borders. Instead
you're going to have a hostile enemy running around
your space causing problems for you and your sponsored
industrial corps. C'est la vie.

Might as well let this thread die in peace. Both sides
have had their say, and both knows where the other
stands. Nothing said here is going to change anything.

I ask you, why should anyone pay taxes to ANYONE without receiving something back?
Now ATUK would say that 'you pay the taxes for the privilege of being allowed to use that space and those stations'.
As far as I'm concerned thats not enough. ESPECIALLY when the alliance concerned (FSA) was not capable of defending itself straight away and needed help.

Forgive me if it sounds like a flame but those few lines i quoted make you look like a prat.

Lets asks ourselfs who you were when we picked you up.
The answer is quiet simple. Nobodies.

Charm it as much as you want, you were empire carebears, you had no 0.0 experience and no alliance would take anyone or give anyone a chance based on this.

What you got was a free ride with the big boys, an opportunity to reap in the HUGE benefits of 0.0 (otherwise why have u left empire?).

That alone not beeing enough ? Honestly said if you get killed in 0.0 it is 90% of the time your own fault (especially back in the days when the map updated faster) and no 1000 man alliance holding your dippers can change that.

Quiet honestly asked what do you exspect ppl to do to "guard" you ?
Position their members next to yours in each belt the whole time while you mine away ?
Or do you talk about sending down a fleet to your aid ?
You surely mean so the enemy can log and log back in 1h or 2 ?
Or what is it you want someone to do for you for the few coppers you pay as taxes ?

You knew you would go into 0.0, yes thats not 1.0. Stan and others told you multiple times about the dangers before you signed up but the fact that this was your ONLY chance given so far made the greed prevail the carefullness.

In the end, behind all the whining and behind all the attempts to sound like victims you made a ton of money, made alot of 0.0 experience, made a name for yoursef (ppl outside empire know you) and maybe (as by your own definition) learned alot about pvp.

This all was not enough for the few bucks taxes ?

In all honesty if you hadnt taken the opportunity back then you still would be nobodies, poorer and would have no experience you can build on for your future ventures.

So apart from all flames be glad you got an opportunity which ignoring all troubles (something you always have in 0.0) worked out for you.

Ironically apart from the long posts you present us here on the boards you realized that yourself, a poor unexperienced loser wouldnt try to grab his own space.
My view would just be too early and with the wrong approach.
