Meeting Others (FT Intro) - OOC Thread

Please use this Thread for the OOC chatter instead of cluttering up Bonniland's Thread.

Alright, I'll start off...

OOC when did that start not once when i've seen that use the other side picked it up and know what it said

Then you haven't been around a lot. That's how its been done. It makes sense. If you fail to say its secret, than I'm sorry, but its your fault for not making it clear and you gave an advantage to your enemies.

Also....plenty of sides have picked up what the other side said, and understood it. We don't play hard scifi here. We ignore the whole "we dont understand your language" thing unless it is vital to the story, and it is not here.

I bet those "people" who did it the way you speak of, mentioned that it was encrypted or secret.

Read up on threads, trust me, its out there. Hell, I have even SEEN people doing the same thing I am now.

been around from what it say at side <<<
no must be who's in the thread as none been marked encrypted or secret so must be a new change
but my message was encrypted

Unfortunately I would not have your encryption codes so even if I was in the ship when you sent the message I would not get it.

It's not as if a standard shuttle is equipted with a militaryy grade encryption breaking computers.

Uh...Isa...I can barely understand what you just said...but to rebut the part I did understand, being the thing about it was encrypted, well, all I can say is work it out with Hobbebia. Even if he cant read it, he could keep it and attempt to crack it, and since you sent it, still be able to know you are there by finding the source.

15-06-2007, 02:22
Ok so you have a larger post count... that means nothing. I would have in the higher thousands If I spent my life on here... but I dont. You are a 06 nation. with 11,000 posts. If you have never seen this then you have learned nothing from being here. There is a SIC thread up RIGHT NOW. Within FT RPs you must say Encrypted or place SIC in the post before anything else. Otherwise it can be used.
Telros
15-06-2007, 02:23
....You are using age as a factor...

Wanna know my reply to that?

Nothing. Why?

Cause I don't care.

I really don't care if you have been here for a thousand years, I don't like people pulling their age on me, as it doesn't matter aside from the fact that you got here earlier than I did.

So, frankly, keep the age thing out of this, it doesnt help your argument one bit.

Strange I always indicated the code tag to make it secret, granted I always specify write a TO: and FROM: and whatnot.

I hope that counds as writing SIC, because, that really pulls away from the RP.

WTF dose post count got to do with this
and not one FT thread i've been in when code tag was used people use the words Encrypted or place SIC as people knew it was in code

not militaryy grade encryption more of encryption that makes it that only you get it and can read it as we know you more then said others

Telros... The reason I brought Age up is because it does have bearing to this argument. He has been around for atleast a year. And with a post count as high as his I find it unlikely that he has never seen it before. You don't hang around somewhere that long without picking up on those kind of things.

Now that comment was not brought against you. And to have taken it as such is incorrect. You are also about/or atleast1 years old and you know of the SIC, Encryption tags. Which only pushing me further to think that Imperial Isa is just saying this to not get caught with his.or her pants down.

Damn the forum..

That was aimed at Isa, not you. I apologize for the mixup.

Uh...Isa...WTF? They have a known position, that being the space they are occupying at his point in time Just because you don't state where they are, doesn't mean he can't find them.

In my day the code tags = encryption.

Also this is irrelevant either way, as Isa's position might've been found out sooner or later. I doubt you lost a major tactical advantage either way, we're all orbiting the planet me thinks -_-

...Isa, I perfectly well said my feeling on people using their age to justify things. You know how I found them, as Hobbebia said I knew of them being only a year old?

Reading. And lots of it. I read all kinds of threads that interest me. And my experience has shown me that a lot of people use it.
Hobbeebia
15-06-2007, 02:49

But you where close enough to send a message to them. I can say with great certainty that if you are that close Long range sensors can pick you up.

how did you know i used stand tech to send it
Telros
15-06-2007, 02:52
*sigh* Not just ones I am in, Isa. Other ones I am not in as well.

As for the message. Basically, when you send a message, you light up like a flare. And sensors detect them. Even passive ones can. So, basically, you had your cover compromised when you sent the message, equivalent to a guy lighting up a match and a patrol seeing it across the clearing.

Use what tech, Isa? What is stand?

Because Isa has the right to voice his poorly worded opinion on an issue he has with the RP. I have no problem as it is. And I am pretty sure no one else really cares either, but Isa does. So we need to get this settle before moving on.




Also I am reading your post now.

thank you and its all so clearing out how we see things used

15-06-2007, 03:03
If we want to debate it, we can. Just because we aren't jumping to your every rp whim, doesn't mean you can insult us and whine. Yes, that is what you are doing. Calm down, realize that we don't focus on your needs first and get some patience.

We are doing this so we dont ruin the rp.

And its alright Isa, you said you meant both and I understand now.
Hobbeebia
15-06-2007, 03:05
Isa I am a pretty reasonable guy. I let a lot of stuff go when I could yell GodMod or what not but 9 times out of 10 I don't. I react as best I can to what is given to me and move on. But I also understand you right to voice your concern. Which is why I am even here now.

which is fare
ok you see this

fuidshg
as not encrypted or secret ,but i do

you see this with the word encrypted or secret somewhere
encrypted or secret asfg
as encrypted or secret

when the thread i've been in i've seen lest of that kind then other kind

when i send a open Message i rp like this

"sents a open message blar blar "said CO
"sir"

#blar blar blar#

Ok, but instead of complain about it or fighting it-accept it and learn from your experience. It will improve your overall appeal and likability, which will translate into better RPs in the future.
Imperial isa
15-06-2007, 03:19
like i said i'm more use to seeing just this one fdsdf and knowing it what it is
EDIT my ships gone to red which means all kinds of scans would came back as odd readings

15-06-2007, 03:22
Ok fair enough. I will from now on understand that when that is used by you that the message is an encrypted one and will only use it to attempt at cracking it. But also you now know that the general public are not aware of your methods and expect you to use SIC or Encryption tags.

by the way jolt made you post twice

would i say general public would be 50/50 on how it's used and who's in the Rp and if you Rp with them before

15-06-2007, 03:36
I have been in alot of RPs.. PT. MT. PMT, and FT. And I would say all of them have placed a SIC or Encrypted tag in it if the post needed it. And those who didn't have complained and nothing was changed.
Balrogga
15-06-2007, 03:42
Personally, I don't like the CODE window and wish people would use the QUOTE window.

The reason is not based on personal preferences but on the fact when I am reading posts on my phone, the browser takes all the text in a CODE window and overlaps it with the part of the post following it making it illegable.


The problem is in the way my phone reads and displays the JAVA Scripts of the PHP Bards and there is nothing that can be done about it.

Telros, the only reason the fleet is so large is because we've got I don't know how many nations here, at least three of them, while not openly hostile, really don't like each other, and now we've got some random human fleet flying in, and who knows what will happen with them? Admittedly, it is a bit overkill, but you can never be too careful...

A bit? A bit?! Thats not a fleet, its an invasion force. Sixty-two ships is overkill to infinity when there are several ships MAX in the thread.

As for why I am annoyed at all this, see Bal's rant.

I've seen it, and I edited the ship number down a bunch, only like 2 battleships, 3 cruisers, and 1 carrier. Seeing the recent bunch of OOC posts, I can see why you're so high strung.
Telros
20-06-2007, 23:40
