I want to know a few things

1. Is TE still sitting on their a$$es in newark instead of doing what they say they do on calgary.

2. Is my account still on Elite

3. Is ac2 still as rotten as it was

4. is calgary still a bad modder mecca.





Anyone who posts flames against me in this post will be kindly asked to stop. If it persists, i flame you.

Hello to you too Heretic...

1. Calgary is down, but many people have thanked us for making it a better place. So I think we are doing something.

2. Can't help you with that.

3. I have not been on AC2 before, so I don't have a comparison, but I think it might be getting better very soon.

4. Not as much, the modders have mostly moved to other servers, and before Caglary went down it was a lot less full than it has been.

Hope that answers your questions.

TE-Cap-Chips (me, ya)
TE hangs round Newark mainly as on Calgary it was a hotspot for pkers to attack noobs to the server. We responded to cries for help in ANY system that there was a problem in, and we also had a permanent presense in Gamma as well (it became another hotspot for trouble)
The modders seemed to just sit in NY rather than playing, which invariably meant that they just attacked people in starfliers (noobs) or anyone else whilst they had an uber hull (yep - very manly of them...)hence why we 'sat' around Newark so much. If we didn't, or if we hadn't had a presence there, then I am sure that calgary would have degenerated into general mayhem.......with noob killing being a prime cause.
Anyways....i remember when you used to sit round manhat with your ubershield a couple of months ago doing the same thing (noob killing) so.............

Perhaps it's the presence outside Manhattan that has decreased the pking there

This won't end like those anti-NEO ones because...well...TE doesn't seem to have the playground-bully mentality, all things included.

Still beating that dead horse eh Heretic?
TE is very good at what they do, but sometimes all they can do is be cannon fodder when dealing with modders, just so that others can escape, modders like Heretic by the way.
They try to protect those who need it, but these people are not clairvoyant, if you're having a problem you have to let them know.
And yes they hang around Manhatten, because thats where the noobs are, and that's where the pking cheating modwhores tend to infest looking for victims.

don't you get bored to death hanging around newark all day?

we're the past's future and the futures past

I have seen a few situations where there was a pker outside of the manhatten area in forst bush, detroit, norfolk, pittsburg, and west point. and everywhere else in liberty. TE does just sit there.

Do you also know who those PK'rs are? I know. HappyBunnyFriend, HappyBearFriend and a few others. And you know what? Even TE can't beat them. You also know WHY? Because of the fact that they use Uberhulls No one can pierce Uberhulls atm. Atleast none that I know off.

If someone keeps PKing you contact the nearest TE member. If you call out for help, I can say 100% sure that you will get help. There are alot of people hanging in NY because that's where the PK action is. Not all non-TE'r just sit there and do nothing. There are lots of people that assist TE.

Most of the Omicron PK action is done by people WITHOUT mods. They fight a fair fight. Oasis_Of_Death, The_Pirtate_King, [BWP} The Grinch and {BWP} Wolverine and known to shoot on sight there. None of them use mods.

Actually - to defend Heretic *gasp*, he did give up pking a long time ago now, and i mean several months!! Heretic also joined into the fight against bullying pkers, so i have no grief.
Also, EVEN if they are uberhulled and speed modded, we still respond as fast as we can. SOMETIMES it is difficult as the person being pked doesn't ask for help!
Other times, they swear like mental, attack us and curse with every word under the sun. Someone then kills them a couple of times, and they moan. At that point, someone new to the server just hears 'TE - do something, i am being killed here' - what that really should be is 'ARG - I was pking / dockcamping and now someone is doing it to me, I DON'T LIKE IT, ITS SO UNFAIR!!' .At this point, some members of TE will try to reason with both parties, other members might not. Each member of the TE has been accepted into our organisation upon an application. We have over 100 members actively engaged in the TE. Each member will respond slightly different to others in a given situation. If there isn't a senior officer to help the newer officers with direction, then sometimes mistakes might be made. Somone might get overlooked if pking occurs in NY (also- a NO pking system, another reason for our presence there).
We do our best, and to show how? LTC Kirghiz launched constantly to be shot down for 2 hours by a modder.........WHY? It was so other players could move away, especially noobs. Some stay, that is their perogative, but others use the chance to go off clean and enjoy the game. THAT is our job, that is why we do it!
Others like to kill, we try to protect

Entropy i have seen people pk without uberhull or shield or gun or cloak and TE still doesnt go after them.



@last poster - the game hasnt even been out a year. giving up pking a few months ago is kinda good. i could sense the sarcasim in your reply.

In those cases, have the people requested help? Have the TE already been engaged in another commitment at the time?
