Kraven Kor Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2007.01.23 23:37:00 - [1] Originally by: Ceanthar Cerbera Originally by: Alexi Borizkova NBSI is just a way of life after a while. When you see a group of strangers outnumbering you, you run, when you see strangers you equal or outnumber, you engage. I realize this also. But what happened to asking and telling? Its simple "hey we live here and dont want you here. leave now and youll live". The shoot first ask later is cowardice. Especially when you have established your precense in a region and is superior. There is no time for questions. Look at it this way: You are in Corp X and claim Region Y. There are 4 entrances to your territory, which your corp "camps" as much as they can to keep out the riff-raff. So, a neutral jumps into your camp. Two scenarios for you: 1. Neutral is not a spy / hostile / resource-vamp. He really wants to be friends. Your gang says "state your business!" while holding the ship webbed and scrammed. The neutral convinces you he is just here to mine some veldspar in peace. He flies on to his rendezvous with rock, and all live happily ever after. 2. Neutral IS a spy / hostile / resource-vamp. Your gang asks "state your business!" while he is webbed / scrammed. He states he is here to mine veldspar, and then in another channel states your ship types, who is the tackler, etc. You are hemming and hawing over whether to allow access, checking corp mates to see if anyone knows if this guy is a hostile alt or what, when suddenly the "neutral" has called in the 17-man gank squad of doom who now know exactly who to pick off for optimal corpse abuse. So, if you can explain how a "Happy Friendly We Don't Shoot Until You Shoot Us" (HFWDSUYSU) Policy could have prevented the above situation, maybe some corps will switch to non-NBSI. So long as there are NPC corps where players can create anonymous spies at will, there will be NBSI policy. Nobody wants a leech in their systems -- ie someone sucking roids or chaining NPC's who is not contributing to the "landlords" pocketbook. Spies suck -- whether it is someone who has infiltrated your Teamspeak, or just a random neutral alt shuttle spy giving away ship-types and tactical info to your enemies. ----- You're not what you are, you're just what you do!
