Phyrric/Udona; Siri: this one's for you

I think both of you know why I'm posting this. I think both of you know damn well what I'm about to say, because chances are the both of you have already read a very similar post on the Metus boards.

This post, despite the title, is not for you two. It's for NS.

I just want everyone to know that our good friend Phyrric here likes to eavesdrop on regional/alliance-wide message boards, or at least mine. i'm not sure what role Siri played in all of this, but I have been made aware through a number of sources that she has been circulating screenshots of my forums for intelligence puproses.

Here, I must make an important distinction, between IC spying and OOC spying. IC espianoge is all well and good; cool great no problem. OOC espianoge pisses me off to no end. The difference is pretty clear: in IC spying, we have a thread or two wherein one side gets thwarted in their plans and maybe we get treated to a little purging action in the victim state's government or something. All in good fun.

OOC spying, however, is a completely different can of worms. All this does [spying on my boards], really, is ensure that my RPs won't lift off, and it takes all the fun right out of the game. There's not much more to say about it than it sucks ass completely and I won't stand for it.

Which brings me around nicely to my next point: Phyrric; I'm not Roleplaying with you anymore. You can take that battlecruiser thread and shove it for all I care: if you wanted to RP with me you wouldn't have betrayed my trust like that. I will hear nothing of your arguments to the contrary; as you continued to do so even after I made my near-identical-to-this post on Metus.

And Siri: the same would do for you under a slightly different set of circumstances, but given that I don't have any reason to beleive that you were actually on my boards, it's unfair to subject you to the same standard.

But I will most heartily reccommend that anyone wishing to deal with either of these two individuals [especially as enemies] watch their boards.

Peace,

--Nick

PS: Look, I know I spied on the UTP boards and goddamn it that wasn't right either. If anyone would have wanted to cease all RP with me over that, I can't say as I'd blame tham: it was a shitty thing to do and I'm sorry for it. Granted, there wasn't really too terriblymuch on that board that could be maniuplated in an IC sense; most of it was bitching. I didn't realize until I got my own regional forums how much that shit sucks.

But, for the record, I still continued to kick all yer asses even after I lost access, which didn't take that long. :P

Yeah, I hate when people mix OOC/IC.

I find generally it's the cause of failure for most FFRP. People get too attached to their character to be reasonable with their IC opponents even on an OOC basis. They mix their IC pride with their OOC sense of value as a player, and a few minutes later you have OMG IGNORE cannon pictures and dead RP and stagnation in the FFRP universe. Blah!

Well uh, considering everyone important clearly knows what you were planning perhaps you could tell the rest of us? Please?

Trapper trapped in his trap...
Voyeur taken in own game...
You now realize its crap.
You're the only one to blame.

As you said yourself so well,
You have done some spying, too…
Why aren’t the rest, as well,
Allowed to do some spying, too?

A lame poem for a stupid thread,
I would rather see it dead. :roll:

OOC: Nice of you to finally damn well admit it. No question that the bungled attack would have went south anyhow, but still, it's sure isn't nice when it happens to you, eh? That being said, I don't ignore you.
