EVE General Discussion

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have gathered you here today to inform you of a new project we have been working on. The leaders of CID have gathered together under a banner of our own; creating a group of higher communication discipline. For this project we have gathered pilot's from all over. This group isn't meant to replace anything that already exists, nor to get in anyone's way. The goal for CID is to create a sub-community from BTL. First, and most importantly let me say this:

We will, and I repeat, we -will- always support BTL; we will give them our bodies for any mom, and work together towards a common goal to aid them any way possible. Our first order of business was to donate the mom loot from the pocket incursion. I am not saying we will always do this but we don't really care about the loot as a whole.

We will not ban our piliots from flying from any other fleet. I would personally deem this to be eltiest. I have ran with Phattecia before BTL was well established. He took me in nothing more than a T2 fitted Drake, and after a few more runs at these incursions Phattecia personally bought me a Rokh.

Before I ramble too much, let me go into why I am making this post; here it is, to outline our rules and our guidlines:

These rules are non negotiable.

1) Comms will be ran as relaxed only when the fc is comfortable to open comms.

2) You will not talk over other people on comms unless it is of critical importance to the safety of the fleet.

3) When in-site the FC's word is law. You will follow all orders given by the FC when in-site.

4) You will broadcast for shields when you are yellow boxed. Once you are no longer being shot at you will broadcast in position.

5) You will be respectful to everyone in fleet at all time's.

6) War targets require the agreement of both the FC and the LC to be allowed into fleet.

7) Depending on your ship fitting, you may be asked to refit at the FC's desecration.

8) All logistics pilots are required to be at least level 4, and scimitar pilots must be cap stable

9) All disputes shall be handled on a personal level. Escalation of a dispute to a CID operator is a final resort. Please give it a cool down period before you try to discuss it. If all else fails crtl-alt-q and come back with a cooler head

Pretty simple huh?
you would think so but we have been getting a-lot of issues with them what exactly does relaxed coms mean? It means if you hear check check from the fc, or the lc you do what you were taught when you were little, you sit quietly and listen.

Why? because if the words check check are uttered on coms it means there is an immediate danger to your ship and everyone elses.

I take losses personally I don't like losing any ships if i can avoid it no matter my feelings towards anything else I hate losing ships.

What about you will not talk over other people what does that mean? It means just like if you were in a classroom in college you take turns participating in conversation no matter if it is serious or joking.

What about number 3 Fc's word is law in site? Pretty self explanatory here folks you do what you are told to do in regards to the targets, aligning, and warping this is once again to prevent your loss of ship.

how about broadcasting when you are yellow boxed? Well that means when yellow squares pop up on your overview the rats are locking you this once again this protects your ship.

what about broadcasting in position when they are no longer shooting you? well that pretty yellow box will go to a red box then back to a yellow box that means they are done shooting you for now.

This lets the logistic pilots responsible for the safety of the fleet and your ship that we can go save someone else.

what about being respectful to everyone in the fleet?

Once again this is pretty basic if you are physically irritating someone or touching on sensitive subjects you wouldn't tell another stranger or your family there's no reason to bring them up.

Why does the war targets require an agreement between LC and FC?

I feel like I am rambling here but this is again for the safety of the fleet. How you might ask if you never flew a logistics ship?

The reason for this is once we rep someone at war, it spreads to every single logistics ship on the field meaning your war targets can blow up the fleets logistics it was a basic greifing tool used early on in incursions which some people may have forgotten.

Why should I change my fitting I pay to play this game?

The simple reason again is once more for your own safety, we know how incursions work. We have seen alpha waves take down ill prepared ships such as level 4 mission boats.

Why do logistic pilots have to be level four? Level four logstic pilots are a necessity for hq fleets, a level 3 logistic pilot can cause a whole hq fleet to go down which is also why scimis must be cap stable.

you may say to yourself ok I understand this by why is rule number 9 in existance?

It exists because we have seen what happens in other channels not to name them, but it comes to a point where we get over whlemed with peoples private convos questioning about how they can deal with someone they don't like or don't appericate their comments

CSB, but why the fark did you post this in GD?

This is all very interesting. One suggestion. Next time you want to dish out this much text, get someone to write it who has at least a grammar school graduate's grasp of English.

"...have ran..." It's "have rUn." This correction only cost you 100,000 ISK. I'll expect to see payment by Tuesday.

PS I'll go over the proper useage of "their, they're and there" for another million ISK on request.

Welcome to CID, where we over legislate shooting space monsters in a space video game. Thankfully no will actually read all those rules. But please don't stop, you can have an exciting and full fulling career writing EULAs and Terms of Use Agreements!

Incursion runners have the same ... erm. Appendage / attention problems as fervent, fanatical WiS adherents. Unfortunately your post, mine and the others just re-affirmed this for them. It's a bit like ignoring a child when they are throwing a tantrum. You may feel like correcting their behavior, but that attention may very well be the wrong thing to do because it validates their tantrum.

/sigh
