I've been rather annoyed by what seems to be a prevailing theme on the IGS of IC posts along the lines of "Oh, not this shit again" in regards to long-standing, traditional and core-PF enmities - Amarr-Minmatar and Gallente-Caldari, for instance (to choose low-hanging examples). Minmatar A makes aggressive/antagonistic comment directed toward Amarr faction in some thread, Gallente B spams the
smiley and makes snarky comments about Minmatar needing to "get over it" or some such nonsense.
I've also had to shake my head over seeing examples of what's been mentioned here with PC faction betrayers/turncoats cycling through the factions, returning to their original factions (for however long before jumping back to some other group, enemy or otherwise) and somehow remaining loved by all. But then, I'm the guy who removed his corp from Star Fraction, giving up at-cost and below-cost Tech 3 cruisers and lolTitanBridge hotdrops because my character couldn't condone and/or be associated (even indirectly) with Revan Nefaris and Jade Constantine's relationship with same - despite not really giving a flying fuck about it OOC. (Granted, it's well known that I didn't like Revan's player, but as I never had to RP with her, what did I care who Jade was 'with' IC?)
I believe wholeheartedly in IC consequences for IC actions. That won't change. I, like BloodBird, hold out hope for the return to what I think of as better days for RP. Until then, I will take whatever opportunity presents itself to point out inconsistencies and conflicts in IC posts with IC posts of my (Havohej's) own. And if some people don't like it... well.
In prison, if I pissed someone off to the point they started talking trash, I'd tell them to "put blood in my mouth." In EVE, if I piss someone off, Havo will tell them what Jade used to always tell people:
Wardec me.EDIT: What it comes down to for me is that I'm in no way obligated to respect or participate in anyone's retcons. Used to be an Amarr loyalist/Sanshabot/Blood Raider/whatever? Then Havo's not likely to like/trust you if he's aware of it or becomes aware of it. But he
is likely to call you out on it if he catches you pretending otherwise (and if I cba to post on the IGS or RP ingame aside from shooting at things).
