This is mostly for my sake, to see how badly I fucked up my Brotherhood of Steel Lore.

Thanks, everyone who votes.

Additional information is welcomed but not required.

In my opinion, the thing that made it unable to be any worse was you giving up on it. Its times like that when you need to take a step back and go do something else then come back tommorrow. Im really disapointed that it had to end like this.

Truthfully, it wasn't a deicision made alone.
Me and my two Head officers, Anton and Jack agreed to leave and not return.
In turn, I disassembled the BoS, instead of leaving a hollow shell with a figurehead and a long-forgotten golden age.

I thought you aquired too many players. And you should have stuck to being completely neutral with anyone. Sounded like tried to be friends with Wasters.

I would have probably ran it with a more stricter rule. And kept interaction with wasters to a mininum.

I'd disagree on being 'freinds' with the wasters.

We treated them brutally and tried to extort them, if anything.

The FRA was an issue way back on the Atomic map, and I feel that lead us onto the rocky road of crisscrossed diplomacy. In retrospect, I would've definitely limited waster-contact as far as the non-killing-or-extorting-them-spectrum. The whole Steel Town fiasco was something I never liked.

Thanks for writing something. You too, Negative.

In my opinion, it was run rather well. You had a grip on most of the stuff, but some of your actions were... questionable. (giving mininukes to the Enclave, along with one of our radio frequencies, etc.) Otherwise, I'd rate it that you ran it pretty well. Handled the stress well up until today, as well. Sucks that the thing had to disband.

Haha. I do admit the mini-nuke was needless, but that Frequency was reserved for Enclave-BoS communique the whole time. We never exposed our communications channel. A shame that plan got ruined by a huge chain of metagaming.

I never felt like I had a grip on anything, at all. I really felt like what I didn't want to be: A figurehead.

Thanks for writing something down.

Wouldn't say you were a hollow figurehead.
(well actually you kinda were, Anton was the main guy who did all the stuff, he was also second in command essentially)
Either way, you handled things pretty well, kept the faction in order and had it all running well. But yeah, you really kind of did have a good grip on things if you realize it or not.

If you insist, I suppose.
Maybe I was the only who who saw the BoS as Anton's and never really mine.
This isn't about that, but maybe it was something that helped it occur.

The enclave always had mini-nukes, and I still don't see the metagame and why you hate the FRA so much.

Someone needs to read between the lines or start asking questions in the community proper.
The only thing I have to say to you was something Jack told me;

"It's like demanding someone explain how magic works."

This is my last post.

This is disappointing Rag.

I thought you should be able to handle the BoS better. I can't understand why you would give up.

i can, because i was there
seriously, i can see from his point of view how much of douches the FR are. (and frankly, i agree)

Why did you not apply on the forum for BoS?
Title: Re: Exit Poll - Opinions
Post by: acepie on 02-04-2011
huh?
i can describe how i got into the BoS if you need me to
but i just kinda got in without applying
(i was Junior Guardian Jameson Clark)

Look into the profile bin. Pretty sure I had one.

I mean, why give up just because some people are assholes? A lot of fun come out of HGN, you just need to wade through some shit every now and then, but its like a foot deep.


Just another analogy.

Its a shame. You had things going, but like someone said. Your actions were questionable. And the love hate relationship with FRA could have been easily put to hostile and kept each other away. I don't know what the deal was with enclave, as I wasn't very active at times... But it is what it is.
You had a good run Cannon, but I guess you weren't going to go through all the faction leading bullshit that occurs here and everywhere else.
