Stabs... yer reading me wrong or I...Mab... yea. =P<br /><br />Stabs... yer reading me wrong or I'm writing me wrong... It was not, and IS not "humbling"... They did not 'screw' us... we feel no sense of, nor need for, 'revenge'. WE opened the communication with the intent to see if there were 'other options', and yes, by that I mean among them, ransom. They broached the topic, but after we started the dialog. Then, WE decided to move out and WE applied for membership. I am a Director and HBHI has a Unanimous Vote policy, and we were unanimous.<br /><br />Joining SYJ may possibly be the next greatest thing to moving to Anoikis that HBHI has ever done. They are a great group of guys who play a professional and honorable game.<br /><br />And... I feel a serious 'attack' on us was, IMHO, inevitable... we were one small corp alone in a C3 wormhole, and while SYJs motive wasn't conquering our hole, it was related to the 'small corp alone inna hole' thing... and TBH, if they dint do it, someone else would eventually. So no, it's EvE and this is life and death in EvE.<br /><br />We fought back, and we... most of us, would have continued to until we lost it all rather than fold. Its EvE and It's a game. But, it is also an amazingly complex and highly social game... and we had a lot invested, timewise, in the POS, ships, etc., and getting back on our feet would have taken real time... ransoming saved our investment AND due to having the balls to fight back, we once again won a modicum of respect and because SYJ members and leaders ARE professional and honorable, this said 'here is an opportunity'... not 'you just got gobsmacked'.<br /><br />No Stabs... not humbling... My issue is WAITING on 'others' decisions, and the compromises required to be a part of the whole instead of going it on our own... and the freedom, and risk, that going it alone entails. No this is just me and my age old 'thority issues... they been kicking my ass, and making my life vastly moar difficult than required for YEARS man. =]<br /><br />Uh and I disagree that we are vengeful by nature... you don't see wild animals killing each other over being publicly humiliated... no, that kind of asshattery takes Emotionally clouded RATIONAL THINKING... ahhhhh, Hurray the human brain... creator of Religion, Flat Earth, Jester's Trek... and EVE Online!<br /><br /><i>The Above Post and Comments were Brought to You By The "Ripard Teg for SCM8 CHAIR" committee.</i>Turamarth Elrandirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129383421613323047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050183471078758937.post-14866752304921893902013-01-31T02:20:55.280-05:002013-01-31T02:20:55.280-05:00I can see that joining the people who screwed you ...I can see that joining the people who screwed you was the practical thing to do but I thought at the time it must be really humbling.<br /><br />Ultimately we play these games for ego. My 2c is you should join someone who will shoot these guys instead then at least you have a goal - blowing up the dicks who chased you out of your C3.<br /><br />Dan Ariely comes to mind, Revenge is irrational and counter to self-interest but there are solid reasons why we're vengeful by nature.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050183471078758937.post-1861832702408575822013-01-30T19:00:16.804-05:002013-01-30T19:00:16.804-05:00Yeah, that.Yeah, that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07326933418820669302noreply@blogger.com
