    Dunno why the spy issue is still raging, it is solved....


    and never had anything to do with R39 anyway.


    I can understand why some1 (BG) would


    like to change the subject tho.
    _________________________________________


    EDIT: OK


    heres some new information... Unlike what we thought earlier the R-39 paypal payment for a


    system did not come thru, the email msg they got was a acknoledgement of their joining


    paypal not the actual receipt. at this time, they dont know why the payment didnt go thru as


    they tried (i knew they did cuase i walked them thru it), it was their first time doing it


    and who knows what happened. So op was right in saying he didnt get the payment, but there


    was no intent to deceive anyone.


    R-39 spokesman has told me this (cause they cant


    post themselves) : They are sick of all this crap and are just leaving CF. The Crossfire


    wing of R-39 has been disbanded. One or more could show up as freelancers in the future,


    dunno atm.

    1. Whatever is going on DC or not is not the R-39 problem they arnt doing anything bad


    to DC imo (the only guy they recruited was already quit from DC) and last i heard Trowa was


    trying his best to keep the DC clan together and strong... i know this cause we had a


    personal disagreement about how to best go about that, my position being that i must remain


    neutral in those things. I dont g-a-f what tales op tells about personal conversations


    he-said-this-about-u, we arnt a bunch of women gossiping about the neighbors here.


    2.


    To call chars "fake" assumes they are trying to hide... no one was trying to hide they just


    used untagged chars. And in that ill-fated battle there were no untagged R39, Gabriel was


    acting as a freelancer hadnt joined R39 at that point. Untagged chars were tolerated here


    for many months no one thought there was a problem with it, unless ppl read the shit in this


    one forum thread last week, they never would have known it was against the rules, which are


    vague. If u took a pol of ppl online right now, 70% will still not know that its against


    rules to have a non-clan-tagged char if u belong to a clan... it s a rule most servers dont


    have.


    3. I have been told that definetly No R39 ppl flamed or taunted in that battle


    (i wasnt there personally). If some Chaos or DC taunted and / or reloaded then that is


    unfortunate and wrong, but A SEPARATE ISSUE than R-39..... Well it is unfortunate that it


    was so one-sided i admit theres no gain or honor to fight such a battle imo. But we in csf


    got pwned lots of times and we didnt threaten war over it. and attking BG in Cust is not


    against serverules as far as i can imagine... against
    ASF/CSF battle rules maybe but


    that is a separate issue with different sets of punishments (like "you are forbidden to be


    in battles for 3 weeks" or something.. not run off the server for chrissakes).


    4. To


    lie about making a Paypal is absurd, whytf would they..... I suspect the pay was held up


    electronically, and prolly showed up today. OP may remember Saturday that i offered to


    personally guarantee the 20E to pay if he didnt get the payment. Its just silly to think


    anyone would not pay if they said they would. Since they got the Paypal email receipt, they


    assumed u got paid (this can be sent to OP, but i dont think its necissary by now). To call


    ppl "Liars" over this is just over the top.


    5. The R39 have a right to send a letter


    to ppl they personally know if they like, again not against any rule. And btw: They sent the


    letter to a very select number of ppl. If they dont want to join, they are left alone from


    then on. Basicaly it was just an announcement that are here and ready to fight.


    6.


    the Private Locked Server was planned to be just that...a place to have meetings and


    practice, not to hang out very long cause 5 pl on a server is not much fun anyway.




    7. R39 wanted to have CF as their base of operations for temporarilly going to other


    servers.. not "take over" this server. All of the ppl like it here and would be loyal to CF


    it it were attked by another server... Something not every clan here can say yet. To compete


    or fight on other servers, yes... Why not that isnt against any rules either.




    Soo... Why is OP so upset about this clan and what it represents:


    > Having


    good players go compete off-server is something OP has not wanted the BG to do.. I think he


    doesnt like to "have dogs playing in the yard when his dog is chained to the porch".




    > Having a strong fighting clan is a direct threat to BG. yes sure. but the plan was


    to get R-39 into CSF which means the fights are controlled and "friendly". What is so bad


    about having a tougher opponent?... Imo it would help the BG to remain stronger, sharper,


    and well-trained. After all, all their secret char and other troubles BG has experienced


    lately could be attributed to Boredom. The disparity in nubers can be addressed by some more


    rules, we have adjested them in the past as needed.


    The problem ppl will notice with


    almost-banning R-39 (not allowing them to ever be a server clan) is that then the BG


    FORFEITS the fights with them! So the R-39's win by default. Think about it...


    All


    these guys wanna do is fight... PVP and battle is the reason for their existance. They have


    agreed and prolly by now have removed all non-tagged chars, they wish to follow the server


    rules.


    We / R-39 have:


    > Agreed not to merge R-39 and Chaos so we didnt break


    the rules (damn obscure rules if u ask me)


    > Agreed to rent a system so they can be a


    Serverclan and join the CSF (... another obscure rule not enforced before...). The money was


    paid.


    > Agreed to delete non-tagged chars (ANOTHER obscure rule only pulled out


    when u wanna get rid of someone)


    ... After all these hurdles were met: A stone wall.


    It is clear whats going on here. Chaos will have to consider this matter carefully, we are


    not pleased with the threats and lack of cooperation we are seeing from the admin of this


    server, and perhaps we are not a good fit here after all.

    Look everyone PiA Clan has got nothing


    to do with the R-39 problem so lets not mess up their thread, they deserve a fair chance


    like everyone else to rent a systems and join the CSF.


    Afterall, the more


    Serverclans CF has, the stronger the whole server is.


    EDIT: I agree with Trowa. Chaos


    are asked to please NOT flame.. Express ur opinon but with reasoned arguments and respect


    for others.. even if u feel wronged believe me its the only way to do this.

    Sands, tell ur Dad this (or not if it wont help, lol):


    Actually you are much more


    likely to get virus attks off of a forum server than an online game server.

    Well yer right


    of course gas prices are rising faster than OP's temper when u tell him hes wrong..... lol



    Whats even more worrisome is the IMMEDIATE shortage.. i mean wtf... how come there


    are now instant storages?? Thats just not likely, is it? After all the process of oil


    refining and shipping is months-long... but the wholesalers are acting as if there is an


    emergency in supply right now, although demand has not risen. Its bad enough that they


    charge the higher prices on oil they have already bought, refined, and have in the storage


    tanks now... but they are faking a shortage too.


    I'm starting to think this is


    the opportunity they were looking for to ease the USA into high oil prices (to a level


    Europe pays).... something that could never be done any other way cause it would be


    political suicide for the party that championed it. In many ways it will be a "good" thing


    for the environment but in america were u almost gotta drive to get to work most places, its


    gonna be hell for poor ppl.

    @RG Hawk: Wow. Thats a nice price, lol.
    Hey, we've been looking for a guy from


    South America to round-out Chaos, we have ppl from every other continent (except antarctica


    lol).. Interested in joining? We would be glad to have u, Pilot (politics never makes it


    online, btw lol).


    @OP: I think they are referring to the oil "spot market" in the UK


    (commodity/futures trading and independant oil company holdings), not from the usual North


    Sea consortiums. If so that could screw-up prices alot i would imagine.

    Some movement here after all. Great


    im glad to see my m8's in R-39 joining the CF serverclan club. I will be in touch


    soon.


    I must apoligize to HUNter and n0x clans for promising more than i could


    deliver as CSF Leader, it appears u must rent a system before joining CSF, pls read all the


    crap above to see why.. grrr.


    .. Well all i can say about that is we will fight


    the battles we have a chance of winning.... And that one's a loser atm.


    Wavey: Pls


    go form a clan, and try to collect the system money piece-meal from your members (btw...


    they live on 3 or 4 different continents). That just doesnt happen, believe me. If ur lucky


    some1 can afford it. If not, ur a one-month wonder like Godz or Iron Fangs were in regards


    to having a sys (Corp's old clan didnt last much longer either...). In fact the rent


    becomes a nasty issue that can break up the clan by itself out-right, or insidiously by


    keeping members from coming back online.

    Well nm


    since this hurricane damaged the oil ports near New Orleans.... Gas prices have already


    risen to over $3.50 and rising, by the end of next week it could be $4.50. no one knows. I


    think that average european prices equate to about $6.00 per gallon (a high percentage of


    that is tax, tho).


    1 gal = 3.79 liters.... 1 mile = 1.61 km . Some young hot-shot do


    the math lol.


    There is a worry in UK that americans will soon start buying oil from


    europe which will drive up the prices there... Then u can really hate us, lol!


    BTW,


    the greatest factor on oil prices BY FAR is China, since their usage has tripled in 6 years


    and is still growing causing a demand "bottomless hole" (they dont produce any)... The


    americans' fault as well for buying all the cheap crap they sell, lol. (oh thats right


    europe buys their junk too).


    Argos: There wasnt a goddamn thing of worth in


    Kosovo..... Yet we helped them. Bosnia? Somalia? Nothing. Now yer right about our


    corporations being completely profit minded, for sure... as they are all over the world. i


    call it the "tyranny of the shareholder" meaning that a public corporation can do any dirty


    thing it wants to in the name of "doing whats best for the shareholder". i'm all for


    curbing corporate power and forcing them to help society not harm it.


    As for having


    alliances with saddam and others we later fought against, u right about that. Usually it was


    because of the US-Soviet rivalry. I just wonder why alot of French and German companies


    never STOPPED doing business with saddam (..like the insurance companies op mentioned)??


    Those insurors who got burned by the invasion deserved it then.... U play with the devil


    expect hell to pay.

    Alright some1 else take up the CSF side of this discussion please, my


    continuing comments are obviously counter-productive here...

    OK im not an NRA freak but theres two good reasons for me to have


    guns (Baretta 98, autoloader 12-gauge, scoped Ruger Mini-14 ("for deer" lol) plus some


    oldies i collected like a Navy Colt, Walther Pk and a Mauser k98). And a black powder


    muzzle-loading hawkins rifle replica for early deer season.


    1. I live close to a


    large metropolitan area... If there was ever a disaster and it evacuated, 30-40 thousand


    criminals would be coming thru my neighborhood.... They are not staying for


    dinner.


    2. As long as the law-abiding population is armed the govenment can't take


    away our basic rights and freedoms.... The first thing Hitler did is take away the guns.




    I boxed golden gloves as a teen so i could prolly do without em most times... But


    why skin knuckles, lol?


    BTW: My car was built in their plant in South Carolina (but


    yes BMW is Bavarian--- Not German lol).
