Well the article is having an unexpected positive effect, already welcoming new Commanders to the group as a direct consequence of them finding out about us for the first time from reading it.

Welcome new Commanders

an interesting read, what I did notice is the constant inconsistency with SDC quotes, one min they are saying they are doing things for a reason and next they are doing it for the lols.

The only reason the Sucks a D Codpieces do anything, is because they wake up every morning and say to themselves, "I choose to be an a-hole. How can I be the best a-hole I can be today?".

Seriously, there is no reason. They simply choose to be that way.

I think it sums up these groups quite well.

Aimlessly attacking players in a PvE oriented simulation and soap boxing that you are improving the community and that the game 'will die out' if you are not there is about as delusional as it gets. And to join a PvE specific private group with full intention of attacking players while maybe not a direct ToS violation. It's not acceptable in ANY way, shape or form. And to read as they attempt to defend their actions is nothing short of pathetic. Standard bully/harassment behavior.
At least the article will expose these cretins for who they really are to those that are intelligent enough to see through the BS. We may even gain a few more members out of it. :)
And for this I am grateful. Thanks SDC for improving my game!

Most likely because they are a non organized group. So no one really knows what the heck is going on.

may gain a few members? only Liam knows what's going on in game but i've been accepting new join requests for the facebook group all day, as always with this type of stuff the publicity they give the group works against their stated aims as it only serves to drive more players to join us in game.

Yes an interesting read......

I personally have no qualms with PVP......But not in this group......I chose not to play that way.....

And I do not consider 4 v 1 as PVP.....That is mugging.....

And to do that in a group where they KNOW people are going to be unprepared does make them arseholes.....

Why people insist on giving these people attention is beyond me......THAT is what they want.....So they can read articles/posts about themselves, get a boner and knock one out.......

If people wanna give attention to something...Give it to the A-Team.....We're Arseholes......But cute and cuddly ones......

:D

Perhaps we could all agree to never mention them or their exploits again - perhaps even add this prohibition to the Mobius Group rules.

Having read the article a few things stood out to me. First is the idea promoted bt Frontier during the fund raising stage, that it was to be a game where the user could play how they wanted. This is clear from the four tiers: solo, private, public and arena. The problem I have with SDC is that they insist theirs is the only way to play the game and if people disagree with them, too bad, they'll invade their game and force them to play the way SDC thinks it should be played. We had a name for people that played games like that when I was a kid, that name was "asshole".
