My condolences to Nareau for his loss. I can imagine how he must have felt upon the loss of his prized Tristan - it was only the week before last that I myself was cruelly removed of my Vigil, the very same ship I used to bookmark much of lower Syndicate, to scout for colleagues moving through the area in their haulers, and to watch M2 and VV for literally days on end during the invasion.
"Hey Ben, jump next door and tell us what's on the other side, will you?"
...
"Um, an instalocking Muninn 60km off the gate..." -_-
Originally by: The Enslaver Before we launched our assault on JQA, we were attacking 3FA. JQA showed up once out of a good few attacks.
Every time we attacked JQA, 3FA was there without fail.
Enslaver, do not attempt to falsely imply that your raiding of 3rd Front space was on a scale anywhere near that of the battles of VV-VCR. How many people recall the "battles of PC9" as vividly, hmmm?
When 3rd asked JQA for help, we were there. When JQA asked 3rd for help, they were there. Your point is moot.
(OOC: and what are you doing in here, anyway? I was of the understanding that you "don't roleplay"? )
Originally by: Clipped Wings, regarding RichThugster Even before you joined up with JQA, you were, memory permitting, a loudmouth. A more criminally inclined one at that, which I believe your employment history would attest to.
My response to this isn't necessarily in personally backing up RichThugster himself (sadly, he no longer considers me a friend), but regardless, I cannot help but highlight the above piece as another example of 3rd Front hypocrisy. Clipped is only too happy to raise issues of the past when it suits him, whilst his comrade Attila posts along the lines of:
Originally by: Attiladehun That stuff was in the past, past is over past is gone. We are now here in the present, what is here you can do, what was in the past you can't change live with it.
"Betrayal" is an overused word in this day and age, and I have always been apprehensive in applying the term to 3rd Front. It suggests a modicum of premeditation and public misleading prior to the point at which one switches sides, of which I don't believe 3rd Front were ever guilty. Though I disagreed with the reasons they stated at the time for having made their decision, they were well within their rights to make it, nonetheless.
My only remaining bone of contention with them is that they continue to uphold themselves as being "anti-pirates", all while having to live with the fact that they came to an arrangement with a corporation that thinly veiled its blatant acts of piracy by professing its love for veldspar in its own corp description. Frankly, reading Clipped's more-than-cordial post regarding the recent return of Celestial Apocalypse made me sick, but I restrained myself from expressing the fact at the time, lest that thread be led off-topic.
3rd Front betrayers? No. Hypocrites? Most definitely.
