I enjoy Miriani but the thing now is getting combat or people to help with that has been extremely hard. I need it as a new player and can't get anyone who is willing to help with that.

Please, and I'm not meaning to offend some people, however, i feel that the game has a right to be defended. With this, let me begin by saying, yes. It is a PVP game. Yes. You're gonna get shot at, and probably stranded a time or two. Notice how I said a time or two, and people on this list have said like 10 a week. Let me explain farther. You're acting like a winer. Please. Don't take this the wrong way without explaining. I would like certain people to write on your checklist, and I'd also like you to keep this in mind. Have you been stranded for a reason? I'd bet most of you can say yes. Even the players that play. Now onto the farther questions. Have you commented about it on chatter, insulted your stranders? I bet again some have said yes. Have you acted like a complete helpless person and asked for help 400000000 times, or have you simply got up, dusted yourself off, and simply moved on, gotten help from a friend, or asked someone over private comms to get you? I deliberately asked this question for last, due to the fact of what I'm about to say. Miriani is a game of survival of the fittest. People get a kick on bullying people like those people that could simply answer yes to the questions above, because they get easy money. They lean on you, get your money, and leave you alone for a few days, and rince and repeat. I knwo that's not many people's type of game, however, this is why I say this. Fight back! Yes I know you can't fight a battlecruiser in a fighter, however, you can go out with a bang, and take your punnishment, deserved or not, in style. Refuse to pay them, refuse to cooperate. If you cooperate, you're gonna go down as either a carebear or a, well, due to language restrictions, I can't finish that sentence. This way, if you take it, and show you've got a backbone and are willing to resist, people will eventually move onto easier targets, and guess what? You'll even gain some respect! Not only that, but you can take the extra time off that you're forced to get, and review the situation and decide what you did well, and what you didn't do. Let me set an example. Jack strands you You're staring on high guard, and were thinking "I'm only going to get a glass of water," well guess what. You could have taken the extra second to enter your ship. It only takes a max of 3 seconds to subdue a person without followers enough to get them to a secure location. Let's move onto space combat. You sit there in a fighter and are moving across the sector...into a field of prox mines. You never scanned, you just kept moving to 1, 1, 1, then to 20, 15, 10. Well, your error is this. I'm going to let you figure it out. It'll help you. All and all, Miriani is a game that you need to have some backbone and real dedication to ge there. Shouting this sucks either gets you banned, or laughed at and picked on more. Let's take Mauricio for an example. He's still here, and can handle himself well? Know why? Cause jerks have ran him through his share of turrets, drones, and blwon up his share of ships. He gets up, dusts off his clothes, and rebuilds, stronger and more able to fight another day than he was the last time. If you don't have that attitude, please, don't play Miriani, because you'll just end up giving us that enjoy the game a headache. If you don't like the game for another reason, that's fine, but I don't think stunning and stranding should deture you from the game. For those of you tha do like it, what do you think about this post here. Am I right, or am I wrong. SOrry it's lengthy, Tj. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.
