The good, the bad + the ugly
Just a little reflection on various chats iv had over the last few days with people... and its come to my attention that it appears that every alliance believes they are the good guys fighting against the rest.
Now my question to the AD masses is;
Are you the good guys? and why?
I'l go first i spose
Im a SiNND BC and i do believe we are the good guys. My main reasoning behind this is because i see us as the underdogs fighting the other alliances. We are outnumbered and outgunned yet still keep fighting with some success tbh (/me waves at LCH). So yeah, were the good guys, you all smell + XomaZ is sexy. Your turn....

Re: The good, the bad + the ugly
We are good guys cos we weren't the ones who started the war. We were forced to block cos we had Exil/LCH/ToT already blocked against us

Re: The good, the bad + the ugly
I've always seen 1up as being 'the good guys', but a lot of the time I find myself cheering on the bad guys.

There are no good guys in planetarion, only winners and losers.

Re: The good, the bad + the ugly
On one hand it isn't fair to SiN to blame them for all of ND's faults. On the other hand they did merge so are one alliance so it is perfectly allowable.
Lok is right about this being only winners and losers but to put that in pa terms is, winners always = bad guys, losers always = good guys.

I think his point was SiN was neutral before the merger and the wars.

Wow, Exi has you well-trained don't they =/
Good: F-Crew.... They play on their own, have a strong community spirit, and something about wakey's fleets.
Bad: NoS... Despite Heru and Kargool's sexyness, trying to play Switzerland in PA has generally provoked some negative feelings around =p
Ugly: The_Fish. I'm sorry dude, but that picture of you dressing up as one of the Village people folk... and that Moustache....... I hang my head in shame =p

Re: The good, the bad + the ugly
"None of the above."
I am 665 - Almost Evil.
Possibly also an anti-hero.
We, 1up on the collective, are the guys everyone other ourselves love to hate, because frankly, we are that magnificent.
We also tend to love ourselves.
Everyone else is evil
If you are not with us, you are against.

Re: The good, the bad + the ugly
Good: ToT - excellent return, great control over their members, awesome team spirit.
Bad: Too many to choose from - NoS (that fence is going to cause a severe rectal prolapse), 1up (propaganda squad has underperformed this round), Hydra.
Ugly: Angels recruiting policy.

Re: The good, the bad + the ugly
Ive always seen fury as being the good guys and xan as the bad lot.
The current alliance situation is just a variation on that theme.

SiNND (or HR, or whatever) shipjumpers are then untouchable or somewhat a lot better than Hydra shipjumpers?

'Good' and 'Bad' are just point of views, erected by the fundamentals most of us have been brought up around, to instill the morals that the major religions have defined.

Those have no really high score and ain't high profile... Thus... those don't matter
Shipjumping only matters when the popular opinion (eg: 1UP, because they have the most members on AD) thinks its bad.
I wonder what would have happened if the guys changing alliance changed to 1UP...

Sorry, what alliance are you? Sin i believe
You were forced to block? lol
We have nice logs (thanks to my source) where 1Up/ND/SiN/ToF/NoS were blocked before protection ended. You had a shared attack coordination channel, of which we cud easily get the access list (some fool forgot to set +i on the channel).
Maybe you are uninformed or misinformed, but that doesnt matter; just setting the record straight here: you blocked first, forcing US to counter that.

Re: The good, the bad + the ugly
Historically, the good guys are the ones who are losing. The good guys never win. They may hold a top rank, maybe even #1 for a while, but in the end, they lose because they are good.

Welcome to AD. Where no matter what, your block is always outnumbered.

Not top10, but almost top10 on value. Bit low on the XP, even I, who am not even top10, have more than you.

I actually wasn't trying to come off as bitter. Just my thoughts.
I'm actually quite the happy guy as of recent. I think.

Yes, because I left SiN and joined eX because in my eyes at that time SiN was dead. Not to mention the fact that SiN is designed to let players go. Also eX is where I will stay until it is gone.
Hydra on the other hand have the reputation of jumping ship everytime their toes get wet.
I could debate this longer if you wish but this thread isn't about that so pm me on irc or something.
