Dear Members of RETAL:

Our position is that your team member bbbbllllllaaaaaahhhhhhh (#72) was being a real fluff -- multiple farming hits, RoR's, a significant amount of harmful spy ops.... But we have not had any negative interactions with anyone else in your group. We decided to take action (and doing a two-man kill is not easy!), but it's not war. We have nothing against the rest of your tag and wish you the best of luck in the remainder of the set.

Best regards,

MAYHEM

I just looked and want to make a correction or two:

"Multiple farming hits"

I count two.

I will grant you that that is aggressive, but a full 6 days went by before the KR. I don't see any diplomatic effort made to anyone other than perhaps to #72 himself, which again I can't speak for as I didn't see it (if it existed at all), but 6 days is an awful long time for a diplomatic solution to occur. I will also note that in that 6 days he received some unwanted attention from our team RETAL suicider #75, which all started after I made a single PS on him.

In closing it just seems to me that everyone on this server is on edge and likes suiciding, I understand you have to stand up for yourselves in a two-man tag, but this seemed avoidable to me.

Perhaps that's the norm for the server and this is a lesson as to why I've avoided it all these years?

He hit me twice, so I retalled once. Within a few hours of my retal he hit me again, and then tried to blow up all my jets. That's unkind. So we killed him.

I don't mind getting hit -- it's all part of playing. Your teammate #62 also hit during that time and I have no problem with that. But #72 was way over the top.

Responding to a PS or two with 50 ABs is suiciding, and we don't agree with it. But this situation was different, and we wanted to let you know our position.

Best regards.

fair is fair, thanks for responding.

That is what this server has turned into. You can thank the mods and their ridiculous rules, mixed with their bias deletions. QZ should either fix it or pull the plug, but I honestly doubt he cares either.

Harmful ops has always been considered an act of war, on every server.
