Guest Posted January 18, 1999 Report Share Posted January 18, 1999 What do I think? It's not my job to think, it's my job to follow orders No, really, it's a great site, Antti, you did an awesome job! I like the music too. I redid my site (somewhat), still updating it though, I added a menu frame, a counter, music, and updated all the html files.DeSylva, I need to get up with you about my 282nd SMB (Black Falcon) page, I want you to help me with their history, etc. I mean, you ARE the resident BC3K history expert Later all.------------------ William Ramsay, Jr. -------------------------- Commander Alun Tringad GCV Black Falcon ISS03 Tactical Support Coordinator, ISS Fleet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 18, 1999 Report Share Posted January 18, 1999 Sure, email me about it, tell me what you want to do, and I'll change it around to fit my vision...*laugh*. No, not really. Send me an email about what you want their history to be, and I'll vet it for you and make sure it's not conflicting with any other histories...*grin*. ------------------ Commander DeSylva GCV First Light ISS01 -=- ISS Fleet Coordinator www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Arena/9206/iss/ Official BC3K Tester and Blind Man With Sleeves award winner "Serve - with honour."

Bad Mojo Posted January 19, 1999 Report Share Posted January 19, 1999 Commander DeSylva-Commander, I'd first like to state that I admire both you and your crew, and have the deepest respect for the ISS. However, with all due respect, "...And, if you're sitting there in Prime Fleet and thinking "what fleet should I join...?" ? I believe the PRIME is a Fleet sir, and a mighty fine one at that! Are you implying that PRIME is somehow a lesser Fleet? That PRIME is somehow lacking in any respect? I assure you sirrah, we are as strong and as proud as any Fleet in void. It is possible you have come to this uninformed opinion due to the lack of posturing and bragging that is done on the COMMs by members of our Fleet. Certainly, the ISS does not have this difficulty. Perhaps you will realize that the PRIME fleet carries out it's directives without the need to inflate our self worth, that the accomplishment is reward enough, rather that blustering about like school yard bullies. Forgive my harsh words sirrah. Perhaps in the future I will reserve them for those that truly are in need.Cmdr. BadMojo GCV VaeVictus PRIME Fleet "We are not tense, simply terribly, terribly alert."

Charles Lindsey Posted January 19, 1999 Report Share Posted January 19, 1999 LOL<RP> ONErr, Desylva? Methinks thou hast given offense. It seemest that in thine enthusiasm to recruit thou hast insulted the main fighting force. To whit, you are only a support fleet for such. Perhaps thou shouldst rephrase thine invitation.Commander Chavik ICV Phoenix "Lapsing into ye olde english for the nonce, good sir"<RP> OFFCommander BadMojo, I'm sure DeSylva meant that towards those that have not registered at all yet. Those people are still considered Prime Fleet for purposes of discussion. Once you specifically register as Prime then you are given all titles and distinction that go with said position. No insult was intended I'm sure. Great Roleplay though.

Guest Posted January 19, 1999 Report Share Posted January 19, 1999 I don't actually have to reply to that, Bad Mojo. But I will. I am not implying anything. I am certainly not implying that PRIME is not a fleet. Do you know why I am not implying that? Because I CREATED the fleet structure you are currently quizzing me on. In conjunction with Commander Daniel Londono and a few others on this forum.I tihnk I'll leave it at that *grin*.There is a very significant difference between Prime and the other fleets, and that is that Prime is the defau;lt fleet that every single player belongs to. It has no CO (apart from Derek himself) and no real purpose other than to be a general hold-all for players. If you want to specialise, you join a fleet. If you like combat, you talk to Antti in Orion fleet. If you like srtategy and hit-and-fade type maneuvers, you talk to Daniel Londono in Wraith Fleet. If you're a rebel, you can even change your caste and join the Insurgent Spectre Fleet. If you like order, military precision, and dislike alliances with other races, then vchange castes to EarthCOM's battlegroups. And, if you like intelligence, espionage, or non-combat support roles such as demolitions, medical, or minelayhing (to name a few, the possiblities are endless), then join the ISS.I hope this clears it up for you. Of course, you seem to know so much about the fleet structure already...*evil grin*.No offense taken, Bad Mojo, and I hope none taken. You know I've gotta defebnd my boys...*laugh*. And to be honest, I'm glad to see people like you actually getting up and defending Prime Fleet. (Well, actually, the GALCOM Main Tactical Fleet, or 1st Fleet, but we all know it as the Prime fleet). So keep up the good work. See you in the stars... ------------------ Commander DeSylva GCV First Light ISS01 -=- ISS Fleet Coordinator www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Arena/9206/iss/ Official BC3K Tester and Blind Man With Sleeves award winner "Serve - with honour."

Bad Mojo Posted January 19, 1999 Report Share Posted January 19, 1999 Actually, IÔÇÖm very much aware your knowledge of the fleet structure far surpasses my own. My goal was to simply to pop up and ÔÇ£test the watersÔÇØ. I was curious what would happen if someone from the vast ranks of prime spoke out. Honestly, I've been lurking for about two months now, and never heard any comments from the "everyman", your standard "joe blow". Looks like everybody has specialized, or joined up with the hotheaded fanatics. In fact, if you run through this forum, every time the word "prime" is mentioned as a fleet designator, they're getting beat on. Soooo... I figured it was time someone stood up and gave some back. *grin* And, well, your post was the first opportunity I had. No offense.Thanks for the additional breakdown of the fleet structure also. I was aware, but I sincerely appreciate the gesture. For now, I think IÔÇÖd rather stick with the prime fleet. We may simply be just a collection of odds and ends, but then again, so is sausage. Err, wait a minute, that didnÔÇÖt sound right. ... Cmdr.

Guest Antti Junkkari Posted January 19, 1999 Report Share Posted January 19, 1999 We are lot┬┤s like Prime. And I have to state that I am pretty sure that we are the second biggest fleet after Prime when counting in members. As DeSylva said, if you are interested in pure combat, Orion Fleet is for you.I can't find a reason why should post this. I'm talking bullshit. Thanks William, I preciate it.Later all.------------------ Cmdr.

Guest Posted January 19, 1999 Report Share Posted January 19, 1999 DeSylva, Sure, as soon as I finish my history, I'll send it to you (might be a while, and I was kinda hoping you'd help with WRITING the history too ).Antti, no prob, it's a really good site I love it Later all.------------------ William Ramsay, Jr. -------------------------- Commander Alun Tringad GCV Black Falcon ISS03 Tactical Support Coordinator, ISS Fleet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattler Posted January 20, 1999 Report Share Posted January 20, 1999 Sorry Antti, Ya'd better take in a couple of yards of your sail there Old Friend. Just counted the Commander's Roster (The ONLY Official Method of Counting Members) and You are in for a shock. Here are the Numbers for each Fleet, as of about 15 minutes ago: Prime----164 Orion-----38 Wraith----31 ISS-------25 SCID------24SPECTRE---43 Soooo, Orion isn't Second largest Fleet after all. Sure hope you guys don't get Prime Fleet and that Bad Mojo of theirs working, 'cause there's enough of them to take out ALL of us and have some left over for the Gammulans TOO ------------------ Rattler, Spectre, Insurgent One Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Mojo Posted January 25, 1999 Report Share Posted January 25, 1999 Looking for Wraith fleet? Have you checked under any suspeciously large rocks? Under the beds? Closets?You know, the wraith's SOP is starting to sound alot like the 'boogyman' stories told to children. I bet that's what the Insurgent mommies and daddies use to frighten thier kiddies. Of course, in those stories, the 'boogyman' probably gets cooked up like the witch in hansel & gredal.Umm.. okay, I'm all sorts of off topic here.

Rattler Posted January 26, 1999 Report Share Posted January 26, 1999 Yup If it's a good rain, they normally drown.
