Rumor has it, there is a mythical creature in the Gateway system. Many freelancers feel the presence of something constantly watching them as they enter that place. Some say, it is a gods creature, a guardian that helps explorers show the right way through all the dangers of the minefield. Others say it is a demon that has unnatural powers and possibilities no man could ever dream about. They say that the most outrageous ones who try to cheat the Gateway, get to see it and feel the wrath of El Madcato on their own skin...

Old Earth's history tells us.......truck drivers on long hauls may witness a "Black Dog" when tired, now cheaters in gateway will witness "El Madcato", the god that protects the secrets of Gateway!!

Hold on a minute guys.....

This isnt quit what we were aiming for in these chat rooms !

This particular chat Propoganda/rumours is meant to be a counter balance to the Diplomacy room.

For instance.... Lets say clan A & clan B form an alliance (under Diplomatic Relations) but clan C who are friends with A but not with B are not happy about it ! well they might use this chat to try and break up that alliance !

OR... Maybe you dont want to Formally instigate Diplomatic Relations but would consider releasing a rumour to find out if your offer would be met kindly !

Or maybe... you have (evidence) that certain parties are maybe double agents !

@nobodie, I`m not sure if this is how you saw these rooms but to me the chat you started here is maybe more fitting for the Tavern ? or even the Story Board. I think our thoughts were that these rooms be used for pure RP (not really things about (mythical) creatures.

So... we all know Madcat is not Mythical but in FACT an Admin and i suppose you could start a rumour that he`s (on the take) and that possibly would be more fitting to this chat but, to be honest in this instance thats more likely to get you put in prison or shot ay BESt.

more than happy to discuss these rooms in more depth if need be.

First of all, i did not start a chat, but posted a rumour based on what is happening in the game universe since this section is called Rumors. I dont see how this is a bad place for such posts. I never stated that Admin Madcat is a mythical creature actually. Plus, rumor is a rumor. It can be true it can be not. Newcomers wouldnt even know what it is about untill they enter that place and see for themselves.

ADD:

The only problem i see now that youve told this place should be really about, is that propagandists never say that they are propagandists. Those who will try to break an alliance will not state "This is a Rumor" but would try to make their "truth" as true as possible. People cant sell a lie if it says "Place for lies".

fair do`s nobodie, your the moderator here so i`ll defer np

em.... the PROPOGANDA sub forum was YOUR idea... NOT mine nobodie !

This way, the RP "Sirius Life" Subforum would contain:

•RP News
•Recruiting campaigns
•Services/Barter/etc Advertisements
•Propaganda
•Rumors
•Diplomacy issues
•Other stuff that is connected with the gameplay

And yes you DID implicate madcat as mythical !

"Rumor has it, there is a mythical creature " "El Madcato "

So when the NEWBIE reads this where exactly does he go to maybe follow up this particular RUMOUR ?

and how is he gonna make any sense of RP chat about things that dont excist !

now like i said, if you wanna chat with us about this or even just do your own thing fair enough, but my own thought is that these rooms will fail if they are not built on some sort of fact !



all we have tried to do is take your idea and try and fit it to what we have now AND... what we know is coming.

implicate madcat as mythical !

"Rumor has it, there is a mythical creature " "El Madcato "

El Madcato Pure Brilliant

[(-=YSP=-)]

There is some fact to the rumors.. "El Madcato" is more the feeling you get when you get lost in that infernal minefeild.. I know I feel the eyes when I'm darting through my little holes and shortcuts that I've found. It's not bad enough that I've found the holes, Sometimes its almost like I can hear the mines behind me exploding as if someone or some THING is following me....creepy I tell you.. just plain creepy it is....

Don't you mean El Gato Enojado? I think it'd escaped our labs. We were trying to create a new shock trooper for planetside invasions or skirmishes. Only problem with the plan was that our prototype (El Gato Enojado) escaped shortly after destroying the lab and our research. We'd lost track of it months ago... until now. It seems to me like there must be a retrieval mission that needs to happen. Or it could just be gunned down. Either one is next to impossible after I reviewed the files on this abomination.

This, "abomination" as you call it sounds familiar. A Zoner friend of mine once told me he saw something fitting this description in the Gateway system.

It was an average trade run for him, taking plasma pods to the Nirvana system. He was flying as one of ten escorts of two freighters, a heavily armed trade flight. They encountered no hostiles at all throughout most of the trade run. Soon though, they found themselves faced with a dead end. "I say we turn back and find our way again," came one of the escorts voices on the radio. "I doubt that these trade ships can make it through the mines if we need to." My Zoner friend had been through the Gateway before, so he answered back "These mines are relatively weak. These ships can withstand them. Let's fly through that thin layer back there."

They came to the mine wall, which was about three mines thick. "You first," one of the traders said to the other. The ship began to enter through the mines. It made it through unscathed, save for a little shield damage. Just as the second freighter began to enter, a voice crackled on the radio. It sounded as if it was a cat screaming at them. In fact, the small portrait that accompanied radio transmissions showed what appeared to be a twisted and daemonic house cat covered with various blood stains.

It's voice came on the transmitter again, this time forming words. "I IZ SERIOUS ADMIN! THIS IZ SERIOUS BIZNIS! DON'T RAM TEH MINES!!" With this transmission, the "Gateway Diablo" opened fire first on the freighters, and then focused on the fighters. It swatted them down like flies. Their weapons didn't even seem to have any effect on the attacking ship. My Zoner friend did the first thing that came to his mind--Run.

He charged his cruise engines while the enemy was finishing off a disarmed fighter. He attempted to tractor in the escape pod before the cruise came online, but the last of the fighter pilots in his wing was snatched up by the Gateway Diablo. The enemy fired a cruise disruptor, but he released a countermeasure just in time. Knowing full well that it would further anger his pursuer, he rammed through more of the mines, miraculously avoiding them until he reached the entrance and jumped to the nearest system.

Reaching the next system, thinking he was safe, he powered down his engines and heaved a sigh of relief. Those he flew beside were the best pilots he knew, and they were gunned down like they were training drones. The voice of his adversary screamed on his radio again, making him jump. "I LET U GO JUS SO U CAN WARN OTHER PPLZ! I GET U NEX TIME!" His radio signal terminated, and he was left to himself. To this day the memory still haunts him, and he can't get more than a few hours of sleep every night he's tormented by this memory so badly.
