Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo

@Jax Best. Advice. Ever.
Honestly, I wasn’t planning on trying it, not least 'cause I’m not a newbie there. But boy, would I love to be a fly on the wall in THAT scene!

@imstillhere And let’s not forget the old ploy of non-Koras (often newbies) in Kora clique scenes being used as blaster fodder while Koras did everything important in the scene, which is at least as bad as staff alts steamrolling the low-level targets. At least the newbies had a chance of being relevant to the scene the other way.
I know this is a waaaaay old post and all, but I didn’t see it at the time. It got me thinking:
Did anyone try to just pose being a completely useless terrified clump of panic and concentrated cowardice? Y’know, really, really play up how absolutely pointless even fighting was and how they were all doomed, while cowering in a corner pissing themselves? Maybe start shouting how they all should surrender because no matter what the NPCs are SO MUCH BETTER than ANYONE on their team that the only way they can win is through sheer dumb luck?
Going way over the top might’ve really put a damper on the dinos’ parade, especially if their results were claimed to be sheer dumb luck. And you’d always have the protection of, ‘well, my character’s a panic-y coward who always believes the worst will happen in a fight… they truly believe that NO ONE stands a chance against these opponents, regardless of how many are defeated with ease.’
I can confirm that I have read the logs of at least one former AoA character who did exactly this during a New Alderaanian (IE: Kora) slaughterfest. That character was completely ignored before, during, and after the event, at least IC. With only logs for reference I cannot speak of OOC activity.
There would have been no damper put on the dinos’ parade. If not completely ignored, they would have taken the chance to revel in their superiority. Though it’s a hypothetical thought for a time long passed, it would not have had the desired effect.

@Das-Auto you know. Its been over a year for this post. Over a year since I’ve left. I went off and bettered my life and now I’m in a great place I never thought I’d be. I got my Bleach game running locally on my home lab just a few steps away from opening.
Out of curiosity I logged in on guest tonight to take a look at the who. Only hadrix, his staff alt, and his jedi alt have scheduled events. The who is mostly made of idle people like Navi or the dinos who didn’t jump ship or their alts. Game is dead and gone. Maybe they’re hoping a reboot of the franchise will push them off again like was suggested. Either way I don’t care.
Seeing how easy it was to set up a game similar to how AoA was back in the hay day made me realize banshee isn’t that brilliant, Cujo is a manipulative self aggrandizing hack, and anyone can copy and paste or troubleshoot errors in code with the right know how.
Anyways folks, stay classy and remember…
Han fucking shot first.
