Apology Accepted

Now these guys are based in Ruchy, same spot as the A4D corp. Last time we popped Ashiro, A4D war dec'd us for reasons unknown. I am guessing Ashiro perhaps fed them a story that we were picking on them without provocation or something and pegged us as bullies. Nothing really materialized from that war dec. We ended up joining the Privateer Alliance just after they dec'd us, not to avoid them but because it had been in the wings for some time. We never encountered any A4D people and I don't think anyone from the Alliance did either as I could find no killmails for or against A4D. So I figured we would have to deal with them as well since it seems they don't like me or my corp for whatever reasons. So once the war notice goes out my inbox starts blinking. Apparently Ashiro is more than willing to fight now that he has a new corp to back him up including the A4D people. The trash talking commences from him. No surprise there really.... 2006.12.19 21:21 Foolish enough to declare war on Suba-Tech after losing to A4D - never learns As I said, we never lost as you would need to either die or surrender to lose I would think.... 2006.12.20 06:14 A Surrender is a Loss ... in my book..... We never surrendered to A4D. The only thing I could think of was that when you join or leave alliances you get emails saying "So and so surrenders to so and so" or "So and so declares war on so and so". I had a ton of those when we left Privateers. 2006.12.20 06:18 well if you dont log in to fight that is cheap and not very will done for war.... Again, I am not sure where he is coming up with his information. We were quite active during the week with Privateers with over 50 kills and almost 20 loses as well. Hard to pull that off staying docked I would think. 2006.12.20 06:18 that is from A4D so I know... more than you think come to Ruchy and DIE So he claims he is getting his info from A4D. I had not spoken to them since the war dec so I am not sure who in A4D said that or where they got that info. Anyways...so the war begins and a corpie of mine heads to Ruchy. She finds Ashiro ratting in his Domi..... Surely he could pop a Merlin without help, right? One would think but instead he warped out... So my corpie sticks around a bit. They smack talk him a bit. Taunting, name calling etc. So they must see him as a viable threat. They undock a Rohk, Domi and Hawk to combat the Merlin menace. Bear in mind, usually people are quick to judge me for dec'ing corps like this because they are "mining corps". Anyways.... A short time later a A4D guy comes in and starts goofing on my corpie. They talk a bit and once again, it's insinuated that we ran from them, didn't log on for weeks, and that we were being lame for dec'ing a "mining" corp. My corpie filled in some blanks for him, and reminded him that Subach are 35 whereas we are around 5 active players, they have a ton of 2-3 year old pilots while ours average maybe 6mos or so, they have T3 ships up the wazoo, I would think they have a slight advantage in this case. He seemed to agree and said that A4D would not interfere with our war. Still I found it funny that the Subach guys in the system were calling my 2 week old corpie in a Merlin a wuss for not undocking and engaging a Tristan, Hawk and Drake yet at the same time a few systems away I was camping one of their members who refused to undock. Though of course, I never said a word to them. I waited silently. Nor did I say a word to their CEO when he ran from my Domi in his Curse. So the next day another corpmate heads down there in his new BS. He sees their CEO undock from the station, so he undocks as well. He comes face to face with a Archon. Some "mining" corp we've dec'd, no? It goes to show you never know what can happen from these empire wars. Another day passes and I am busy with the holidays so I am logged in but AFK. Promithius convos me and we get to talking. He's a nice guy but he doesn't understand why I would bother dec'ing them over 2 people talking smack. So I give him all the details, and he starts to understand a bit more. He wants to resolve it as I am sure they prefer to do industry type stuff rather than watch over their backs all day looking for us. I remind him we are an alt corp and don't mind camping or getting camped so it doesn't impact our game as much as it would for the people we war against. He asks what can we do to solve this problem. I said if he would kick Darkside from his corp, I would retract the war. He must have a soft spot for them because he declined my offer but said he would have them write a formal apology letter. It reminded me of the good old pod or post days on the Eve-O forums. So I agreed. I accept his apology and wish him and his corp the best in their journeys through Eve..... Nexa, Playing this game like i have which is just to mine, build, and grow powerful i get to meet new people all the time. I Met a Pirate one day and due to hurt feelings or for what ever reason she war deced me and forced me to disolve my corp. Being that i am just playing a game i forgot that words whether typed or said aloud hurt people feelings. Again not taking this seriously i ended up seriuoly hurt Nexa's feelings. I talked smack and said things to inferiate her claiming i killed her and her corp mates. This was never true and only meant to anger her. Now that i have moved on i wanted to tell her i am sorry for my hurtful words as i was angry that i had to give up my corp that i was enjoying to build. I enjoy playing eve and realize that this being a game i should have not said these things. For that i am truely sorry. I can only ask now that you forgive my harsh words and we can go on enjoying ourselves playing the game. Sincerly, Darkside Moonshadow
