I told Darla' not to worry about anything last night.
Anyways yes, it's a game, and yes, no one should lose any sleep over this. I'm certainly not, in fact I try to take things in good light and just look at this as a challenge, no different than other challenges RID has faced in the past.
Yes, it's likely OWNZ will focus only on Tatooine, at least for the time being. Also, it makes no difference that there are no Rank 4 cities on Tatooine. They can just as easily destroy a Rank 5 city, and then update to Rank 4. There is a cap on Rank 4 cities, but once you're Rank 4, you can be Rank 5 as soon as you get the citizens. There's no cap for that. Also isn't it a bit foolish to say that they weren't specifically targetting RID? Okay, they conveniently found Fort Endeavour and destroyed it, but why destroy Fort Legacy next? They could have gotten rid of Farpoint Valley, BunkerAssault, or one of the other number of inactive shuttleport cities on Tatooine. But no, they pursued this against RID, their leader calling us a Rebel guild, insulting me in tells, and saying they will cause trouble for RID. These aren't made up, I'll post screenshots of tells made by them.
But yeah, Darla' gets kinda pumped too easily. If I'm not mistaken, she's the one who kinda went psycho when we were withdrawing Farpoint Valley to Clarissa (though I'm not sure for certain if that was Darla' or not). Don't worry about her. She has no hacker friends, and though she may be angry, I'll tell her to chill and leave this to us.
Also Fort Legacy wasn't inactive. Osar got frequent votes consistently. As soon as Osar gets back from his trip (he may be back from now) we can speak to him about getting RMNTS more involved on this on their own. We aren't fighting their battles, we're just sticking up for those who are right.
I know you have issues with this Arev, but there is no harm in being cautious, and helping out Osar and others a little bit. It's not like there's too much in our plans that will cause problems. OWNZ isn't very well liked by the Starsider community, and Lord-Cyco has reputedly bad-mouthed numerous Imperials on separate occassions. There was a whole thread on the Starsider forums ridiculing the entire guild of OWNZ. It dragged on for a good while before being deleted. I was thinking of adding something, but decided not to stirr the flames.
We aren't complicating things. Lets not start fooling ourselves by thinking that we're shoving our noses where they don't belong or that we're causing trouble. We most certainly are not. We have/had 2 key objectives:
A.) Get a member in OWNZ to get some information on them and gauge their future plans
B.) Plan a simple takeover of a small outpost they don't care about, so that Osar can just rebuild his Fort Legacy with his friends. Think about this. They specifically built that outpost so that we wouldn't be able to rebuild Fort Legacy. It was shady move on their part. The outpost hasn't grown since its inception. Is it so much to ask that we execute a simple operation to take control of it? Even if it takes some time?
It's that simple. What is so wrong with these 2 objectives, and why is there so much controversy surrounding what we're doing? Are we supposed to forget about what has happened just because Illiack threatened to leave? Has anyone else threatened to leave because of this? Most certainly not, at least not to my knowledge.
Aside from the Council, Xoseh and Kurke, no one knows about the OWNZ situation anymore, and we'll keep it that way for the most part. We spoke about it briefly during last nights meeting, but I assured everyone that we would just move on.
I still think it wouldn't hurt to warn the other mayors on Tatooine who have shuttleports, but if you think that's a bad idea I'll forget about it and let them worry about themselves.
) their main focus is Tatooine, but untill I can get closer in with the higher up's of OWNz, we're in the dark on the future plans for them.
