Hard to talk and fioricet codeine. Fioricet plain pill.

“first off I hope to god or what ever that you regretted saying that as you typed that just look at your post full of hate and negative emotions, Ethan if you really believe in the shit that comes out of your mouth I hope to god they find a cute for what ever is eating at your brain.”
-Ehl oh ehl oh ehl oh ehl. Just a few hours ago I was in the middle of a voice chat with Jim Herbst, Izaea Qinan, and Loki Clifton. We had a long talk about group relations and interfaction communications, and I’m hoping that we’ve gotten ourselves onto a path that leads to improvement.

“I mean come on, Ethan of all people preaching about combat not being about “negative Emotion” when he has done more underhand dishonorable shit I’ve ever seen/heard a person do, hell he’s worse then Bush.”
-Every ‘evil’ or ‘dishonorable’ thing that I have ever done to the Alliance Navy, EVER, is something that they have done in some size, way, shape, or form to someone else at some point in time. The most obvious of these correlations is that of the link between the Kremlin and Emit Time. Everything else I’ve done, however, also has a precedent that was established as acceptable at a previous point in time by the Alliance Navy through either rhetoric or practice.

“Honor something that is totally foreign concept for the Mercz is a way to make combat fair and there by Fun for both sides.”
-Spend less time trolling, and take a look for a moment at what the core mission statement of the Iron Symphony is. It’s funny, because at the end of the debate with Avil today, Bruno stated it nearly verbatim. It made me look at him differently, and he may just have potential as a leader after all. Didn’t appreciate the whole part where he said something I actually said the exact opposite of, and then calling me a liar, but oh well, crap happens.

“but I’ll tell you what the Mercz are all really about fun, fun for them and them alone that is why they use impulse in almost every physical object they use there by creating lag in a huge scale.” Now, even if this were true (which it’s not), what benefit would such an implementation provide in a system that already lets normal bullets through solid objects? There is none. We don’t use impulse assisted ammunition. You should check your claims before making them.

“They Spam grunts into a sim, and if one guy gets behind the line they hive queen sending TP to every Mercz attacking and most of them save the TP so you have to sit and camp them when they use the TP again. this isn’t fun or fair combat this is Mercz Lameness at it’s greatest.”
-That right there is a tactic we learned right from the Alliance Navy during Crucifix. Us attacking spawn points? Originally we actually did not do that. In fact, we prohibited it. But as it was done to us more and more, especially by lightning quick aircraft flying overhead with infinite bombs, we adapted, and now are ruthless when it comes to blackscreening a defending force.

Dude, just come out on your main and try to deal with me like. You may just be a grunt somewhere, but at least you’ll be able to stand up with some backing behind your name.

Yeah, not really getting involved in this. But this last statement is a complete and utter lie. We don’t use impulses in our bullets >_>. Not sure how you think that.

first off I hope to god or what ever that you regretted saying that as you typed that just look at your post full of hate and negative emotions, Ethan if you really believe in the shit that comes out of your mouth I hope to god they find a cute for what ever is eating at your brain.

I mean come on, Ethan of all people preaching about combat not being about “negative Emotion” when he has done more underhand dishonorable shit I’ve ever seen/heard a person do, hell he’s worse then Bush.

“Ethan you completely forgot to address the point that if Sparta was failing so much then why have they maintained consistent numbers in their group, they have a steady stream of recruits, I know this how?”
-Funny you should mention that. We just took Crow Carter today, and we’re expecting a handful of others over the weekend. We’re slowly but steadily pulling at the threads that make up the Spartan membership, and we aren’t even actively trying to dismantle it yet. We’re still of the mindset that Sparta is salvageable if Bruno wakes the hell up, and that’s really the outcome that we’d like to see. In order for that to happen, however, Bruno has to realize that his current mindset will destroy his army, and the only way he’ll realize that is if he sees his army shrinking. That is the method we are employing as of right now, but it may change in the near future.

“Furthermore all this talk of spies, I concede I’m utterly at a loss here, this needs clearing up for me . what is the benefit of spies in another group?”
-”Dishonorable characters”. L. O. L. Starting to sound like your old king there. Iron Symphony maintains informants and agents within Sparta not because we like to know what Bruno’s up to on a regular basis, but to act as an internal influence upon other Spartans to help them see the problems with Bruno, and to show them that blind obedience and faith in an incompetent leader will only lead to Sparta’s downfall. These individuals put a lot on the line, and it’s not to help Iron Symphony… they do it because they love their group and know that on its current path, Sparta is doomed. They do what they know it their heart is right for the benefit of their cause, and that is anything but dishonorable.

“I’m not telling anyone to keep quiet about Sparta, if you want the truth Bruno isn’t the strong personal character your lot make him out to be.”
-While I agree with you there, I’m sure Bruno’s reaction to that assertion from one of his former men will be comedic, to say the least.

“People leave armies all the time the Merczateers have die-hards depart/thrown out frequently like lets say Xyekep Richez, Razor the list goes on.”
-Once again, your ignorance draws you to a faulty conclusion. Sure, Mercz, like all other militaries, have our rejects. If we didn’t, Vanguard wouldn’t have a command staff. The problem with your argument here is that you’ve failed to look at WHO is leaving. Xyekep and Razor are two of the biggest disgraces to ever wear a Merczateer uniform. If they didn’t leave, they would have been kicked, and we are much happier that they’re gone. What you’ve failed to notice, is that unlike with the typical deserters, Sparta is losing its GOOD people. Look at Jordi and at Crow. I honestly doubt Tracy is much longer for Bruno’s leadership. The core of the Merczateers is made up of troops who measure their membership time in years, not weeks. New fleet ships and recruiting efforts are about as effective at addressing Sparta’s problems as a band aid is to lung cancer.

“Honestly this just smacks of the Iron Symphony failing to do anything with the Alliance Navy, so now they turn their eyes on smaller targets”
-Quite to the contrary. The Alliance Navy’s decision to unilaterally declare attachment vehicles illegal in clear violation of the ongoing STABLE talks has done nothing more than demonstrate without a doubt that the Alliance Navy, and those who follow their philosophies, are outdated dinosaurs who find that the concept of combat without vested negative emotion is something they simply cannot handle. All they have managed to do is prove what we’ve been saying all along, and show us that it’s time we stepped up and finished what we set out to do. You are right in one regard, we have been targeting Sparta. We’ve been targeting them for a while. However, our goal is not to destroy Sparta (at least for the time being). No, it is far from that. The Iron Symphony sees a lot of promise in Sparta, and sees Bruno sitting at the top maintaining a fierce choke hold on the advancement of his group. Sparta deserves better than that. Sparta deserves to be the superpower they have the potential to be. But because of Bruno’s methodologies, it is difficult, if not nigh impossible, for any sort of self improvement motion from within to initialize. That’s why the Iron Symphony has begun to interfere with Sparta… if you all can’t become what you’re meant to on your own, then we’re going to start kicking asses until you can and do.

In regards to the content of training I fail to see the major difference between the mercz and the spartan’s programmes

Sparta: orientation, then Phase 1 test on the contents of the spartan handbook

Phase 2: basic combat training (inc. flanking, tips, client manipulations)

Phase 3: division specific: Navy: 7 stages, includes obstacle courses, movement, bombing, turret targeting, flight formation (this takes ages to complete) Phalanx: 5 includes adv. flanking, (much better than ordo’s I’ve got to say) SAF: (no idea was never in it)

==Didn’t OMFG leak any secrets hear by the way, this is all opensource on the website D:==

now from what I understand Mercz revolve around a very similar system 1. written 2.basic 3. specific.

Ethan you completely forgot to address the point that if Sparta was failing so much then why have they maintained consistent numbers in their group, they have a steady stream of recruits, I know this how? a few of my best friends are still in Sparta HC. So you have yet to prove why the “Spartan Experience” is so bad. Bruno is rarely online by the by.

Furthermore all this talk of spies, I concede I’m utterly at a loss here, this needs clearing up for me . what is the benefit of spies in another group? is it the fact that their willing to spy on their own military and that gives the dear old Iron Symphony an ego boost? (not surprising that I.S would employ people of such dishonorable character).

I’m not telling anyone to keep quiet about Sparta, if you want the truth Bruno isn’t the strong personal character your lot make him out to be. Domineering like some tyrant. it’s quite the opposite he’s so easy to manipulate it isn’t funny, I practically handled the demotion of an officer 4 ranks ahead of me through Bruno. How the hell do you think the Alliance Navy keep such a leash on Sparta?

People leave armies all the time the Merczateers have die-hards depart/thrown out frequently like lets say Xyekep Richez, Razor the list goes on. It’s a natural fact in this community the fact that it happens in Sparta does not mean “WIN, THEY ARE FALLING APART” the new fleet ships, recruits would beg to differ D:

Honestly this just smacks of the Iron Symphony failing to do anything with the Alliance Navy, so now they turn their eyes on smaller targets
