I've argued above that if you don't know what to write or are just coming up with topics like "How's the weather?", you're probably doing the actors a favor if you don't write. :) So, no worries.

Also, I'm not jaded, I'm merely realistic, I don't think that the specifics of LFs suggestions have much impact on the point I made. Also, I think it's in most cases a good thing that CCP isn't doing what the (majority of the) players want(s).

I'd say the best relationship with one of the faction contacts is a professional one. If you have something useful to offer to the faction, you'll have a good time talking to them. Waste their time with idle chit-chat or semi-useful fluff and you won't get much in return. Aldy has mailed one of the contacts on orders from his CEO with a particular goal (forming solid bonds of communication with useful individuals) in mind.

Remember, these contacts are there to facilitate live events and to help direct faction-aligned corps influence the story line through in-game action. They're not going to be doing /sip RP, this is srs bsns blow shit up RP. If you're not going to be in that or be helping that, don't bother, I suppose.

Dunno... I wouldn't send a message for taunting. Of course, sometimes I can go wild on taunts in local, but just mail someone to taunt? :roll:

Meanwhile I'll continue to pester my faction contacts with other crazy evil ideas  :P Maybe I'll get lucky and it will cause a live event  :lol:

My favorite reply so far was precisely from a mean-spirited taunting mail I sent to the RKN representative.  Deriding his King and Kingdom, etc.  :(
