Ok so I'm a member of the TLF, am not red to GRD and never have been, and yet one of their pilots shot me and then spent half a hour trying to decloak me so he could again.

So I'm guessing Gradent are NBSi now and thought I'd warn people.


I did try and contact GRD to find out what was going on but was booted from their public channel without a answer.

I do not speak for, claim affiliation with or otherwise reply here in terms of what Gradient corporation does or does not do. However, it is common practice for low-sec and null-sec active groups to mark all rookie corp and government sponsored corporations (such as TLF, 24th, SPROT and so on) as potential hostiles. This is due to a proliferation of pilots of low moral fiber who will willingly take an oath of loyalty with one hand, and the cash bribe from the enemy with the other.

This is my assumption, it was common practice when I lived in Fountain and my good friends in Pyre Falcon have stated they are similarly leery of such unpredictable entities.

How about actually helping the side you're teamed up with rather than flying cloaked and stabbed tristans?

Move along, nothing to see here. Just another attention seeker it seems.

I still secure space for the republic, which is what I was doing, that is helping the side.

No, you were profiteering. Which you are perfectly able to do, but don't cry when people who actually fight aren't so accepting.

I sort of want to hug you. The fact that you're in TSF makes that only slightly weirder.

The system i was in the "lp" i was getting amounted to about 8mil a hour, if i wanted to profiteer I'd of done something else. Stayed in red frog for example, But I decided to help my adopted homeland and was attacked for it.

This thread is just to warn others to be careful. s GRD is now NBSI.

All I got from it is that you're a cloaky stab-scrub.

If you're operating in the CEWPA warzones and you're NRDS, you're doing something badly wrong.

This is not news, why are you so surprised?

So let me get this straight.

You got into a warzone.
You saw neutrals.
Neutrals saw you to.
People got shot at.

How is this different from any other day in space?

Huh... You must not have figured this out yet. People don't have to have a reason to shoot at you. Or a reason not to. They're just being kind if they don't.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

A quick and effortless review of Orchidia's employment record would reveal at least one case where I expect the identity of her employer alone would provide ample reasons for her to be individually set 'red' in Gradient's standings records.

Not to suggest I speak on the behalf of anyone within Gradient, or am in the possession of intimate understanding of how their standings procedures operate, of course. Just hazarding a guess from publicly-available information.

While they allow scammers as Ava to be corporation members, trusting them in anything would be a grave mistake, Ms. Orchidia. I see you have made such mistake. But I don't know what you would achieve with this discussion, since falling for this wouldn't show you as a professional.

It seems there have been multiple communication hiccups, garbled messages have been omitted from the discussion at hand.

((I have removed all OOC posts and hopefully all references to them))
