The Samsara wanted to do something nice, to give away an outpost. If I remember correctly the other times a guild have done that, nobody tried to grab it for themselves. OV just took a nice gesture and slapped the giver hard across the face.

BTW don't OmegaV already have an OP?

Bah, forget nice *grins*

We are cold-hearted mercenaries and wanted to make a fast dapper. Don't ruin our rep! *winks*

well yeah i do understand your point - but the kamis arent the underdogs. Neither are they outnumbered. The karavan were outnumbered at the AP fight the other day. So its clear that when they get organised they can really do something.

Furtherly - i think the talk about GvG is a bit ridiculous - i dont know a single guild that took their OPs from the NPC on their lonesome. Its only natural that people will gain support from the friends and allies they have in game. The main problem is that this is where the cross over occurs - as people get on with lots of people from diff factions/guilds/groups/.

going back to sinis post - basically i guess things like this will never be resolved - just pick your side (or choose not to) and we can see what happens

It is far more diverse than that, it just ends up being those two in the end, mostly because people are to lasy (IMHO) to tell homins apart. If you (plural) think all there is, is two sides you (plural) haven't spoken to many homins and know where they stand. Atys are more than black and white, there are a great many shade of grey (and colours :p ), it is what makes Atys breath and evolve.

Well said.

Once there was a piano student who came to a teacher and started to show him what he knew. He got seated at the piano and started some Chopin music. He played as fast as he can, wonderfully accurate and to a pace that you could not recognize the music of Chopin anymore. Baffled the teacher asks him:
- It's all correct but why are you playing it so fast...
The student (proud of himself): - Why, because I can!

Rundll, if you're going to keep quoting parts of that post, then don't forget this important bit:

We could have just given it to one of our allies in secret, got them a nice threshold of 24 and moved on. But that's not our style, it doesn't go with our roleplay.

It's obvious how few people still care about that. Farewell.
