With our numbers falling, the responsibility of the gameplay “in” the main arena rests with each and everyone of us.
Last night I switched to Bish. I do this regularly, by my choice, to give me closer access to the Knit front lines. When I see where ex-RookCv25 was hidden, I repositioned it to a better location. The move was less that 1/2 a sector….on a hidden CV 8 sectors deep. The moment that I repositioned CV25, Osmium flipped out and preceded to attack my character and intent. He rallied the Bish and convinced them I was being malicious. Ironically….Osmium comes over to Rook almost daily, and is free to move CVs.
The behaviour of some of the BISH players last night was disgusting. Here we are….players that have games together for year, and still….a few toxic players keep ruining the sim and intentionally trying to discredit other veteran players of the sim. This IS the stuff that makes people not even want to log in.
Cap, you have a history (granted, not recent) of moving bish CVs to imminent destruction to help your usual rook teammates. IF what you are saying (making CV safer) was truly your intent, consider the context of moving a CV from a hidden distant place to one that was less hidden and less distant.
You didn't help your case by thereupon commanding other bish CVs and sending them into holding patterns until someone else who ranked you took them away. The ~2 hours we played "command the CV" before I went to bed was somehow both enjoyable and tedious lol.
When I'm rook, I am very respectful to the usually-rook and ask permission to move CVs. You just grabbed bish CVs and moved them to non-optimal positions and were stymied because a couple of players ranked you.
Is this really where you want the game to go? You are so holier-than-thou about honorable gameplay. And yet you did this?
