The Fleas

An old friend invited me to sector 369 because he said there was a lot of sector cops, and I would likely enjoy it. So after a week of harassing the veteran's alliance, I was totally ready to taste some fresh tears. When I first showed up, I was greeted by a couple local getalong players who told me that this is a no insector hitting sector. I asked him how that policy is enforced. One said "We make life a living hell for people that do."
keep that in mind

I was informed by a few pirate players in the sector, that this place is a lot of talkers, but only two real threats. AFK and SORRY. I bookmarked them for later, and started gathering resources. I filled up my warehouses over two hours, spent it all, then filled up again. There is no shortage of level 28-32 players, so there is a LOT of salvage.

I engaged in a little bit of chat, but watched the comms more than anything. I saw that there was already 3 or 4 pirates hitting in sector, so I asked again... is this a no hit sector? Several people said yes. Well, since I am getting conflicting evidence, it's time to test the waters. I started hitting local miners, waiting for a reaction. Then I started hitting local guardfleets. Same effect, nothing.

"Bondai, what the ***** are you **** and **** blah blah blah..."
"dont worry about bondai, he's just another 'flea' player, he'll be gone in a week just like All the Others!"

J_Harkness got extremely upset when I hit his cargo fleet while he was salvaging. He cried up a storm. Well, it's time for a rant, then I'll get started on some serious hits.

"What you fail to understand, harkness, is that this is a pirate game. Lots of players enjoy the freedom that kixeye has given us, where we can attack who we choose and profit from it. Why do you think base fleets can carry 500% cargo? They want us to hit each other."
"This is also a game of competition, and if you don't want to play it how it is intended, and you'd rather enjoy a peaceful environment, full of cookies and rainbows, go play castleville or something. It doesn't seem like this game was made for people like you."

The comms exploded with cursing from 3 different languages, while a couple people said.. yknow what, thats true Bondai.

This sector is fun already.
