Edited by: Takashi Kurosawa on 30/09/2007 23:44:40 Gyra has yet to post the details of this nights race, but suffice it to say that DeadRow of Dragonstar Racing Team unprovoked chose to attack and dispose of my ship during the race, by the command of none other than the esteemed Ms. Kayleigh Jamieson.
Tonight in The Citadel, in the 9th race of the season I saw a side of Dragonstar which I had yet to see and honestly had not expected from a team led by the famous Kayleigh Jamieson, a legend in the Racing League, previously held in high esteem by myself.
If you will, peruse the earlier pages of this bulletin to learn how the same Ms. Jamieson responded when she herself was shot down unprovoked by Lilith Blackheart of NeuroGEN. So how could Dragonstar indulge in the same kind of activity which was then looked upon so harshly? What made Dragonstar Racing Team change their code of ethics so that attacking other racers without provocation is now looked upon as a fair tactic in the League?
Kayleigh argues that because she lost points because of the NeuroGEN incident, her hand was forced in employing this tactic to recover my previous lead of 13 points. By the hand of Ms. Blackheart, Kayleigh only managed to finish 4th in the first race of the season. But what if navigational errors had caused similar problems? Would that also have been enough for Dragonstar Racing Team to make short of their previous views on attacking competitors? One can only wonder.
As it is, the Interceptor class of the 3rd season of the Racing League looks to be decided, not upon the racing abilities of each racer, but instead upon the amount of team mates each pilot can muster at the starting line and their willingness to sacrifice their ships in an effort to dispose of competitors. As the sole pilot representing The Patriot Society that makes winning the Racing League against Kayleigh and her henchmen a hard task indeed.
In conclusion, allow me to quote Ms. Jamieson: "Dragonstar has always prided itself in racing fair and clean races - and we actually do mean clean.". I guess Dragonstar will take pride in other things now?

Last time I checked, it was completely legal to shoot other racers. So...I'd say Kayleigh and Dragonstar still race by the rules. If you can't hack it, don't race. Pretty simple. There is alot of ISK and pride on the line in this league. What did you expect?

Edited by: Takashi Kurosawa on 01/10/2007 00:00:30 Well, you can call me naive and I probably am, but I expected more of Dragonstar. There is a difference between what is legal and what is right, and if you look at the quote by Ms. Jamieson you will see that I had good reason to believe that Dragonstar Racing Team would not stoop to this level.
I have never stated that what Dragonstar did tonight was against the rules.

I can answer your question, Mr Kurosawa. Navigational errors would never have forced my hand like this. I said so in the race comms and I say so now: what Dragonstar pulled today was but an attempt to level the field between the two of us so that what counts in the end really is our flying skill and not whether some petty soul decided to shoot the current champion just because she could or not.
Quote: As it is, the Interceptor class of the 3rd season of the Racing League looks to be decided, not upon the racing abilities of each racer, but instead upon the amount of team mates each pilot can muster at the starting line and their willingness to sacrifice their ships in an effort to dispose of competitors.

On the contrary. Now that the field is leveled between you and I, it will finally be decided upon racing abilities.
And as a sidenote, I'd like to point out my team mates are not "henchmen." They are team mates. I help them as much as they help me; that's what being in a team is all about. And in the case of this incident in our defense I'd like to point out that although your words make it sound like we - I believe the slang term is "ganked" - like we ganked you, in fact you were only up against one of our team (DeadRow) and we did not jam your warp drive, so you had the option of warping out left open to you. Lillith Blackheart certainly didn't give me that option.
Quote: In conclusion, allow me to quote Ms. Jamieson: "Dragonstar has always prided itself in racing fair and clean races - and we actually do mean clean.". I guess Dragonstar will take pride in other things now?
I concede this point. I am by no means proud of what we did in Kubinen tonight. I will, however, stand by my decision and take responsibility for the actions of my team, as captain of the Dragonstar Racing Team.
What we did was necessary to level the field between myself and Mr. Kurosawa. No, I am not proud of it. As a gesture of good will we are offering to replace your Stiletto-class Interceptor and all modules as listed by the CONCORD kill mail.
I would also like to point out, as Lillith Blackheart did to me as well, that we did nothing that was not contemplated by the rules. It is legal, however unsavoury, to shoot at the rest of the competition. Dragonstar has never and will never break the rules of the League.

Let us not argue over petty details. DeadRow in his gank-fitted Taranis-class Interceptor versus my racing-fitted Stiletto was over before it started. I had two options: 1) try to survive long enough to get the bookmark and warp out, or 2) warp out, save my ship and forfeit any chance of winning the race or even competing for the podium.
As you admit to your actions being unsavoury, did you ever consider using other measures of team work to ensure your victory? With four members of Dragonstar Racing Team piloting Interceptors this evening, you could have gone another path of attempting to reject 1st and 2nd place to me.

OVERVIEW The ninth race of the season took place in the Citadel region of the Caldari State with a rather surprising lineup at the starting position. The track itself was a fairly linear course that travelled up the spine of the region, branching out briefly to tease some of the lower security areas. In addition to the compliment of regulars this season, some old faces made a presence in the field that included former season regular Iconath and most of the Dragonstar team in the interceptor class.
While the Destroyer class lacked any competition this evening, the interceptor class was bustling with activity as over eight pilots vied for position. With Dragonstar in full force and musings of retaliation against Takashi Kurosawa's near flawless streak this season, his worst fears came to reality as DeadRow of team Dragonstar dispatched his Stiletto in the Kubinen asteroid belt. Her Taranis was destroyed shortly thereafter attempting to outrun CONCORD's sentries. Although Mr. Kurosawa managed to finish despite the setback, his final position set him at sixth place overall with Kayleigh Jamieson, enabling her to catch up significantly in the overal season standings.
Quintrala lended her expertise this evening as she continued to dominate the frigate class, surging her partner Lief Siddhe nearly six minutes ahead of their nearest adversary Zedah Zoid. It would seem the comraderie in the University of Caille is much stronger than many had predicted.
Dougalar struggled against Kazuo Ishiguro in the assault frigate class as both competed in Jaguars, while Irongut skittered into third place in his Ishkur almost three minutes behind the others. Practically unopposed, Dougalar looks to be secure in her championship in this class despite a relative low period in the latter half of the season.

Please, Takashi... That is precisely what we've been trying since the second race of the season, but let's face it: there's me, there's you and there's Quintrala. The rest of the pack takes its time to dock, typically. Race results are out there for anyone to verify this.

It shall be done. Tomorrow we shall calculate the value of the assets on the kill mail and we shall transfer that amount to Ms Rho's account.

My... I guess Ms Jamieson hadn't exhausted all her arguments. I watched it all on holovision at the bar and ouch, that explosion looked painful even to me!
On the up side, everything gets to be decided on the very last race. That's exciting stuff.
On the down side: I really don't think I'll be joining the League any time soon. This really is much better experienced through holovision, I do believe.
However the fandom demands to know: what happened to Ms Delorois during the race? She was nowhere to be seen for most of it!

I am a gentleman, but I take credit where credit is due:
Quin made a couple of navigational mistakes at the beginning of the race, and fell behind the pack. But I helped her drag her arse out of the system where she got stuck, and with time she caught up with me and took the lead. We then used the same piggyback tactic to let me catch up to her and finish in second place. You could say that today, Quin was the raw speed and me the raw brains behind the frigate race :D I guess that's how Gallente-Intaki team-ups work, non?
It was a good race, I am very satisfied with the results, and can't wait for the next, final race. I am sure there will be a lot of interesting things to see!

Well well, Kayleigh did you not know that cloaked ships aren't allowed in the League? After all, I haven't seen any of your team mates for many of the races this season. In fact, I do seem to recall one of the earlier races where Scavanger was present and managed to secure a 2nd place with you coming in on the top spot.
If you desire for a fair and clean race next Sunday, so it shall be. Our racing skills shall be allowed to decide the winner of that race, if fate and Dragonstar allows.
But rest assured that your actions will not be forgotten once season 4 starts no matter the outcome of this season.

I must say it was Lief who rescued me, not the other way around.
I simply freaked out at the WP2 shooting of Tak... by the time I reached the next system en route, I was completely blank as to which planet or belt the can was. I spent some six minutes stuck there.
After finding it, Lief guided me over the comms and helped me surge, even if I kept making navi mistakes after that. It was his cool head that helped me to the finish line. I am afraid that I may have bungled the best opportunity -shooting or not- to come in 1st, the track was that perfect for T1 racing last night with many short jumps.
Thanks Lief. You rock!
Having said that, my heart goes out to Kay and Tak, people I admire as racers and cherish as friends. I would love to see the camaraderie survive this test and come back stronger than the will to win.
Hugs,

In fact, I do seem to recall one of the earlier races where Scavanger was present and managed to secure a 2nd place with you coming in on the top spot.
Circumstances have conspired to keep many of my team mates away from racing at one point or another throughout this season - circumstances ranging from wars, to unavoidable compromises planetside on Sunday evenings, to the simple and old-fashioned occasional illness. I was fortunate, yes, to be able to gather as many team mates as I did for The Citadel, at such a crucial time.
It doesn't change the fact that among my team only I and Scavanger (who can not race on Sunday evenings) stand the slightest chance against you.
Originally by: Takashi Kurosawa If you desire for a fair and clean race next Sunday, so it shall be. Our racing skills shall be allowed to decide the winner of that race, if fate and Dragonstar allows.
That was always my intention: to have our skills (and not Ms. Blackheart's aim) decide the championship. The Dragonstar Racing Team is under strict orders to keep away from even targeting you on the next race. Obviously, we reserve the right to shoot back at anyone who might think to target us and meddle in the discussion of our title.
Originally by: Takashi Kurosawa But rest assured that your actions will not be forgotten once season 4 starts no matter the outcome of this season.
I am painfully aware of that, yes. I say again: I took no pleasure in what we did, but I stand by my decision. I am responsible for my team and for the defence of our title; I did what had to be done to make it truly a decision on skills and not on another team's aim.
And what's more, I hereby vow that as long as I remain team captain, Dragonstar won't ever shoot any opponents again unless a team messes with us first. In that case, as we have done in Season 3, we will do what needs to be done to make sure the field goes back to being level.

Enough drama, spaceship racing is harsh, we all get blown to bits and lose points, although I understand that some have more at stake than me.
We need to solve our duels on the track, I say.

Thank you, Quin. I truly hope once heads cool and Season 3 is behind us all - whatever the outcome - that indeed it might be possible to revive the camaraderie. And yet I am aware that my actions have consequences and I may have ruined a cordial relationship with Takashi forever.
I also hope my word is still worth anything among the racing pilots because I will stand by my vow that Dragonstar won't ever shoot again unless another team decides to mess with us and interfere in our discussions for a position.
Because you see - and I aim my words now mostly at Ms Zion - I do most certainly not enjoy the bloodshed, much less when I'm pulling the trigger on someone I still consider a fair, honest pilot and for whom I hold great respect.

You see, Lief, the trouble here is not just about having more at stake - although that is certainly a big part of it: both Takashi and I have reputations to defend, and Dragonstar is proud to be champion of the league and will fight on the track for the prestige of wearing that title for another season.
The trouble is one of history. There is quite a bit of history between Takashi/PATRI and me/DS and up to this point everything had been cordial, a friendly rivalry if you will. The moment guns are wielded, something cracks in that picture and things go a little sour.
I fully understand how Takashi is feeling right now - I know what it felt like to have the rug taken from under my feet back in race one. But once again: I stand by my decision. The Interceptor title would not really have been about piloting skill unless both me and Takashi had had the rug pulled out from under us at some point, would it? I feel like a broken record but this is really what we were doing out there last night: leveling the field.

Edited by: Kazuo Ishiguro on 03/10/2007 13:15:50 That race saw the closest finish to date - it still remains uncertain whether or not I managed to dock before Kanunu did. I was the first of 5 pilots to finish within the space of one minute, and I really was quite relieved; I had jostling for second position for the last 8 waypoints. In the end, all three of us warped to the finish line at almost exactly the same moment, and I nosed ahead of Quin by the narrowest of margins.
The rivalry between Dragonstar and The Patriot Society has made this season much more colourful, and the final deciding race is going to be a thrilling event. My research services Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant stats |

Update After reviewing the waypoints from the previous event in the Citadel, it has been revealed from the logs that Dragonstar pilot Jikomanzoku not accessing several of the containers. After some discussion with the pilot in question it has been determined that there was a malfunction while attempting to access the waypoints and that he contacted his team for details of the next point. While I believe it was not intentional and that he was actually at the waypoints, there is no tangible way of validating his presence at their location. In the interests of fairness I have removed his placement and adjusted the scores accordingly.
I do hope this doesn't reflect negatively on the pilot or their perspective of this League for taking this course of action. Dragonstar has come to be a staple of the League and the team to beat, and I would very much like to see all of them competing in future events.

I do hope this doesn't reflect negatively on the pilot or their perspective of this League for taking this course of action. Dragonstar has come to be a staple of the League and the team to beat, and I would very much like to see all of them competing in future events.
We were aware of Jikomanzoku's difficulties during the race, and he himself publicly announced on the racing channel he might have missed some waypoint cans, although he was present there in the vicinity of the cans. Obviously the Dragonstar Racing Team understands the need for retracting Jiko's score from Race 9.
We also hope nobody out there views this as an attempt to "cheat", of which Dragonstar has been accused earlier in the season. There was no cheating. Jiko was there at the cans. He was simply having equipment malfunction, and decided to carry on in the hopes the malfunction was just on his sensors. It turns out it was deeper than that and the cans didn't register his presence.

The situation seems to be much the same as before - Dragonstar can still pull off a win in the interceptors corp league, but it's going to be a bit harder and it could go either way depending on how many pilots show up on each side. The pilots' league is just as close as ever. My research services Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant stats |

Go KJ! Me and so many women of Lirsautton are cheering for you!
I just returned from a week long tour of the Kahri district in Lirsautton IV. It's a real run-down area with a predominantly lower-class Jing Ko population. On the last day me and my entourage just walked the streets as I had no bookings. Normally women approach me asking for various favors and to bring certain issues to light, but all I heard that day was KJ this and KJ that!
I didn't fully appreciate it until then, but you know...you have really come to represent the Jin Mei women so well in your own way. Your calm demeanor, your desire for self-excellence, your individual strength and your general ability to kick those boys ass...it's little wonder you have such a big following in your homeland.
I threw some ISK down around Kahri and many other districts to rent out the major holoscreen outlets. I also hired a team of media savvy people to ensure that there will be venues all across the major districts in Lirsautton for people to come and watch, all for free. Instead of the usual schedule of fat Sang Do watching their boring-ass sports, the place will be packed with women watching the race. Eat that boys!
Know that we'll all be watching and cheering you on. I hope you bring that title home, it will give them something to latch on to, something to be happy about, a moment to be proud of.

Sami, assemble a team and come join the races next season!
Btw: 1) Your pic still upsets me 2) A non-satirical post? What is the world coming to, I say.

(( Gee, you sure don't add any to the pressure at all do you? Anyway, onward to the IC stuff.))

Thank you so much for your support, Ms Yahn'ko. And an even bigger thank you to all the women of Lirsautton; I wasn't aware I had such a following back home. I suppose I should visit more in between seasons. I should, however point out that I would surely not be where I am without the loving support of Dragonstar - my corp mates, my team mates. I am not flying alone out there.
I will do my best to bring the title home. And yet the possibility that it will instead move on to Mr. Kurosawa and the Patriot Society team is very high. But I am not worried. It will be a test of skill; if I come in second there will be no shame at all. Being vice-champion to someone as good, respected and integer as Mr. Kurosawa is, is no shame at all.
But I would still prefer to bring the title home. *smiles* Thank you so much for your support.
KayJay.
