“If I EVER see you on an AN base, I will personally cut you down.”

…uh, free trip to your home location?

I swear, this is the biggest waste of potential I’ve ever seen. Have you guys ever thought of making your own continents to protect with shops and rental housing for “civilians” to live in so you actually have something worth protecting? Like a Caledon with a military?

As it is, the only object of this game you guys set up is to attack each other then talk shit because you can’t agree on the rules. Occupying Tethys isn’t hard until your teammates get bored of just patrolling a corny build with bad lag. I’m sure the same is true of ANY group’s base. Not much of a payoff if you ask me…but I might be harder to entertain.

The current setup reminds me of when I was in 2nd grade with my friends and we decided to play GI Joes vs Star Wars because we didn’t have enough of one or the other to have a war. Then my friend’s sister wanted to play and we had a giant Barbie in the middle of the battle.

All this really is is controlled griefing. It’s not even good roleplay because you kids take it personal half the time!

Also, a combat system would be a good idea for this situation because it levels the playing field so you have to resort to actual tactics and strategy instead of phantom bullets and artillery when you’re getting destroyed.

I’d love the idea of an actually uniform, structured, honorable military vs. military situation, but unfortunately SL’s combat system coupled with too many egos in the pool make that impossible at this point.

Thank you Phantom for saying pretty much everything I wanted to say to Ares, except for one thing:
Ares, don’t EVER make Sparta look bad the way you just did by even mentioning it. Go ahead, join Mercz, I don’t care, but stop spreading your ridiculous lies about the AN around, you’re just as bad as Griffin Yeats. I am ashamed that you were even in Sparta at one time, and you have no idea how happy I am that you’re gone for good. Go conspire with the feds or something, Ares, and get a fuckin dictionary. If I EVER see you on an AN base, I will personally cut you down.

god help me, I’m the only one left awake and some what together, yes I know I’m still very very drunk, but out of a house hold full of drunk people I’m the last one up, and trust me when I say I’m normally not the best drinker of them all.

The only control the AN ever gets is out of respect, if you don’t have any respect of the AN, good for you, but if you think that the AN is brain washing people with there words by them selfs your and idiot, if you think that they could service for 3 years on there own with out having some truth then your a fucking idiot with no help. the fact that the AN has been around for so long means that just he fact they are as powerful as they claim to be, and they only get there power from there toys is a mistake, it’s the amount of work they have to do to even come close to what they should be that get them any respect.

to all the people who think they can destroy the AN by them selfs, with out any help are fucking helpless, because you can’t even dent there mental strength let alone there physical(game terms) I’ve been drinking so if anything doesn’t make sense I’m sorry, and I may repost to fix what I have side.

Hah, the AN still thinks it’s superior to any other group, just because its ben around longer and is bigger than other military group. I can only hope that the Mercz get themselves a navy soon to help their own airforce so they can wipe the AN from the Grid onse and for al! The AN still thinks that it has to prowl the Grid, wiping out griefers wherever they see them. But wat about the people who get in the way, innosent bystanders? Thye get hurt too when military forces fight, and this is no exception. I have to say that despite the AN brainwashin Bruno Ziskey into making Sparta an ally with the Allance Navy, Sparta has some of the best trained people in it, althou they should be attacking the AN and not bowing down to them. Perhaps I should join the Merczateers, they seem to be the litle guy in ths, being beat down by the AN every time the Mercz get it into ther hads that they should be able to govern themself. I am gad that the Mercz rebeled aganst the AN, this shows that the AN should not be allowed to control others on the grid. Bruno, I am going to ask you once and only once, allow me back into Sparta and I can help you conker the AN and bring peace to Second Life. Things like the SLSALT show how the AN really does want to control the people in second life.

I hope to see you soon then Architect. Yes, SL gaming is so much better than BF2142, with one difference-LAG.

Because we find this more entertaining. You cannot create your own weapons in Battlefield 2 for online play. There are no starships, there is no plot, there is no one enemy, and most of all, there is no camaraderie. In Second Life, the people I fight besides are not just people logging on to kill some things before work, nay, they are my friends. In BF2 and the like, you play a game with whoever happens to be online at the time. Here, it’s always the same people that have your back. That means more to me than snide remarks from people who think they’re better than us.

I am very indebted to Omega Grishomme for writing such an excellent and somewhat revealing article about the Alliance Navy, even though it did only skim the top of the Alliance Navy Training program. I would like to perhaps show a bit more detail next time Mr Grishomme comes around looking for a story, if I am around, of course!

On a side note, Phantom, I do believe you are one of the more insightfull people I have met in SecondLife.

Also, since I will be unable to log into secondlife to post this in group chat, I figured that my following statement will be suitable for posting here, as it seems to be popular with Alliance Navy personell.

I will be able to log back into SL on the 27th of April, and will prolly stop by the Mercz base to see how it is coming along, although, truth be told, I will prolly be shot while I chat with some of the more friendly mercz that compose the lower ranks.
Good news is that I am quickly running out of paperwork to finish, and will soon be free readily throughout the rest of the year! Right now am working out with my CO to be in the clear fully by the 22 of May.
