What happened to Apolyton Co. not attacking good traders???

[Spekter]

I seem to have been raped and pillaged by one Marco Polo. Why??? I was ignoring you. I expected the same courtesy.

I hope your alignment took a tumble.

BTW, I was going to tell you how to fix your pair trading problem with SWATH.

I noticed they pounded your whole corp.

[aeturneus]

Can you please post the fix to the swath problem? It will help Orange Zephyrus catch up to apolyton so we can claim the sullied banner of protectors of galactic good.

[Wittlich]

Hmmm, interesting. So Apolyton Corp shows their true colors yet again!

Why is everyone STILL surprised when they decide to rape yet another innocent and good-aligned trader?

[Shadowstrike]

The Federation must be pulling their hair out in huge patches. Someone who claims to be a protector of the innocent starts mauling civilians and good traders.....

I understand how this must look, but please wait a moment for an official announcement from our CEO, MarkG.

[burbel]

This oughta be good.

[Wittlich]

I can't wait for the justification for these attacks!

Ok everyone, get your popcorn and drinks and gather around...this shoe-shuffle should prove to be very entertaining to say the least!

Try getting screwed for a few million credits worth of stuff sometime before you claim to understand anything. To borrow a Schwarzenagger line,
"I'll be back." and Apolyton better be looking over their shoulder.

Sorry Wittlich, I couldn't resist...

In the eyes of most people, I think your words have even less value that those of politicians and telemarketers.

Amazing, truly amazing.

I think their definition of good is, "What is good for the Apolyton Corp. is good for the Federation."

It seems like they can't be trusted.

On the other hand, the Shadow Corp. towed a hapless trader from deep space into Fed Space. Score one for the good guys.

Well, I think you guys will be quite interested in what our CEO has to say. This statement was already approved by all members prior to the events. We are just waiting now on MarkG to post it officially.

I will say this, however: We were absolutely and totally justified. ANY of you would have done the same thing given the circumstances. What circumstances? Waiting for MarkG to tell you...

[Urban Ranger]

That you found them sitting there in the middle of a sector where they have claimed a couple of good planets?

There is no justification at all to attack good traders unless they attack you first.

[Spekter]

Well, to be absolutely fair about it, I did destroy a couple lonely fighters of their's that were preventing me from docking at a port. But I waxed a couple of Hutak's for the same reason and I don't see him smashing down my front door. I would have even paid for the fighters if they had asked. They just wanted my planets - see my reply to Apolyton's wonderful little story explaining their actions.
