Title: The 'Fad' is back.
Post by: Steel on 15-01-2010
ITS BACK.

'Lolmerc'.
They are again swarming the server!
People in rookie outfits with "merc" in their title.
People becoming self proclaimed "Freelance" Mercs with 'merc' in their titles, begging for jobs!

Oh god what has it come to! Again!

Those merc-wannabees are annoying. Mercs don't beg for jobs.... usually stalkers ask for a job. Mercs are hired.

Exactly, a job gets broadcasted, it should be for loners, then 'Mercs' Rush for it, leaving the loners out in the dark.

some of the lolmercs might be from Chernobyl Shadows Merc Group, bust most members have managed to save enough money to buy merc suits though.

Thats "SOME", when you go on next have a look at the people not in actual merc groups, and watch them beg you for jobs.

Not just that.. People need to be able to produce Passive RP to join those groups..

Begging for jobs to buy guns is like 10% of it.

Well, to my knowledge, mercs are to be hired, not begging for jobs.
but, a big gun and an epic suit isnt part of it.

How is it possible if you Little Elf don't want to allower Offical Bandit Faction , Loner Faction , Clear Sky and so on! You don't like the idea of making another faction flag so you decide to ignore it >:V


P.S Sorry if it's too rude.

Yeh, we should do somthing about people slapping "Merc" into their title just because they think it gets them jobs quicker. Maybe restrict people to those who wear mercs suits / in a merc faction?

Post by: deluxulous on 15-01-2010
Tyson and Rios are the REAL mercs 'round here.

The lolmerc horde needs to be controlled, contained, and exterminated.

With extreme prejudice.

Anyone can be an "lol-bandit". It's just a loner who decided to begin robbing people who will not live long.

Post by: Cutch on 15-01-2010
Ahem... I've been saving this up for a while...

"Lolmercs" and regular mercs are the same friggin thing. ANYONE CAN BE A MERC! The definition is a professional soldier hired by a foreign army, as opposed to a soldier enlisted in the armed forces of the sovereign state of which he is a citizen. He takes part in armed conflict on many different scales, and is "motivated to take part in the hostilities essentially by the desire for private gain and, in fact, is promised, by or on behalf of a party to the conflict, material compensation substantially in excess of that promised or paid to combatants of similar ranks and functions in the armed forces of that Party"

According to this definition a STALKER is a merc in several occasions, seeing as how they often take missions to fight against a faction or group in exchange purely for personal gain.
   
      With Lolbandits, its really the same case; any person with a gun can rob a person, and therefor a bandit. Its just a gamble of who has the bigger gun or bigger group.

I hate any sort of merc. With a passion.
All these stalker mercs are on the highest of my list.

And when I say "lolmerc" I mean ANYONE with a stalker flag who is claiming to be a merc. This is pretty much all of Chernobyl Shadows (not dissing the faction or anything).

I personally believe that stalkers should be stalkers. THEY SHOULD NOT PRETEND TO BE BANDITS OR MERCS. Get the god damned flag before you proclaim yourself as one. (coming from a guy won't donate, BUT I HAS A REASON, I just hate paypal)

lolmercs were outnumbering the server back in redemption, the same with lolbandits.
Sadly no one wants to play as loner since they prefer guns and suits rather than passive RP in a rookie jacket.

My Favorite is when a "lolbandit" whips out a Makarov and says "Gives me all your moneezez" Or when an 'lolmerc" buys a makarov and thinks they can fight off people with AK's and such. it makes me chuckle somethimes.

I had people walk up to me with a makarov and attempts to rob me after which I would respond with my spas 12 and they would give me money and their gun ...

My god I cant believe this term is still being used, Yay Lolmerc users, also I have come to realise, however, the people that would rather not buy Sunrise suits because of the simple fact that it dosnt give armour at all, why save up MORE money to buy a Sunrise suit that, yes does make you look like a stalker, but rather pay less and get a suit that not only gives you armour, but is cheaper. If I am EVER to hire a merc, I will look at the qaulity of there titles, there suit, and weapon, and RPing skills. I'll ask them a question or two and based on punctuation and public knowledge of that said person I would then make my decision on who I'd pick for a job.

However a bigger weapon, and a higher grade Mercenary suit, and being a Mercenary faction member does add points to your "Merc" level, but if you RP like a Dark RPer, I'm afraid the person with the lesser equipment would get the job for the simple fact I'd rather not be paying "Minges" or "Lolmercs that got lucky" when they may infact DM tghe taret, were as I can be proud of my moneys spent and hear of how well the situation was role-played with the yes, lesser equipped mercenary but a better reputation will become of that Merc, and me. Remember, Mercing is srs bsns.

To be very honest with you I think there should be a Job board and an IC Forum, Notice boards in common areas, like "The Bar". Just somewhere to put notes and job openings, this could also help newer people in getting equipement and rubbles aswell as creating role-play for all in general, and helping people gain contacts. Overall it'd have more postive than negative effects, infact I dont think it'd even have any negative effects at all.

NOW I DO BELIEVE /thread.

I dont think were bashing new players, I think were bashing players that throw "Merc" in their title and constantly ask "You want to hires me, i has a makarov"

I have noticed over my time in HGN.. Last year I had CS as a Loner group. I noticed lots of new loners. Then I made CS a bandit group, I noticed lots of bandits and people started to complain that they're too many bandits so I closed my group. Now CS is a merc group, and guess what.. There's a shitload of mercs now.. And i'm not closing the group this time.

You're not a trend setter. If you want the real reason, go and look at the Donator roster and notice how much it has grown.

I pretty much agree with the thread, and yeah maybe 'merc' should only be for those that actually either get the flag (donate) or get into a group (ye it be the CS or BR...or wtfever merc group may be out there.). But yeah I also agree on the RP skills, I'd rather have an under equipped lolmerc on the job then some group merc in an exo and with a groza that just walks up and guns the target down, then calls in an air strike before returning for pay.
