The NEO clan on Seattlebased

NEO does not play on Seattle. Any players using the NEO tag there are not actual members of our clan.

As I´ve said in the past - NEO has no intentions of moving from Elite. I sometimes make characters on other servers, however I do so only to see what clans play where.

Then take it from me. NEO is friendly, helpful, nice, and fair if you show them some decency and respect.

Contrary to the propoganda, I´ve found the NEO players to be friendly in general, and rabidly against cheating. They just like to shoot things. This is fine with me, since I also like to shoot things. Taxing players gives them an excuse to shoot things. Some players don´t like to be shot at, which creates a problem, but I find most of these ´gun-shy´ players like to, themselves, shoot things, which shows a bit of a double standard. :p NEO pilots are also (relatively) very good in the main, which creates a little extra resentment. Not necessarily the best, but certainly <i>among </i> the top duelers in any server I have visited. Generally I have found NEO players to be straightforward about their intentions. For instance, when they are going to shoot you, they will say &quot;I am going to make you go bai&quot; or even just &quot;you go bai&quot;. A careful analysis of the statement reveals that.. Well, no time for that, you just went bai. If they intend to shoot *someone*, but haven´t decided who that will be, you will know by the fact that they are online. I can appreciate that kind of consistency. <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> In short: Don´t believe the hype.

&quot;We´re going to PK you until you join us.&quot; Is a typical OWL tactic. Visit their forums and check out their recruitement rules.

No no.. You have it wrong. They don´t kill to prove they are the best. They kill because they like to shoot things. (any NEO feel free to correct me. I don´t think I´m really out on a limb here, though..). It´s nothing personal. Your freighter fit the criteria of ´thing´ and so it was shot at. Now I will admit that flying a freighter over a long distance trading run only to be shot before you can drop off your cargo is quite frustrating. However, so is being humbled in a duel, killed by the AI, flying into a planet while alt-tabbed and reading the forum, forgetting to click the ´buy´ button for your cargo before making the trip, and a host of other occurances. That´s just the way it goes. You can learn from all these mistakes though, and avoid them in the future. In NEO´s case, it is as easy as watching the Player group/location list and not flying your freighter right past a pirate-oriented clan member. This minor (and I do mean minor - it´s pretty easy) challenge makes the game a little more interesting. Without a challenge, the game quickly becomes quite stale. To bored players like myself, it is worth flying a freighter through NEO territory just for the rush. I give them full props for making the game a more exciting place to be. On the other hand, if you want to learn a little something about combat, go engage a NEO pilot in combat (with an eagle or whatever), and figure out why they kill people so well. Pride is the first barrier to improvement. Or if you are a great pilot, go kill one of them and pat yourself on the back. Either way, its sure to be fun. They like to shoot things. I like to shoot things. You like to shoot things. We all like to shoot things. What´s gonna be wrong with that? EDIT: The ´you go bai´ thing was meant as tongue-in-cheek. It´s not like i´d expect them to say that, I´ve just found they´re usually pretty direct about things. If you are around them, and you aren´t already friendly with them, you can expect to be shot at, or taxed, or whatever based on mood and whim. If, on the other hand, you are friendly with them, you can probably expect to be shot at based on mood and whim. But at least in this case you can have a good laugh. <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Edited by - Gung_Ho on 02-08-2003 13:04:19

I don´t believe that NEO would have been playing on your home server. It seems very unlike them to recruit aid from the masses. If PKing is contrary to the rules of your server, I would suggest you email the admin with the information. If not, then all I can suggest is that you find a server with a ruleset to your liking, start your own server and recruit like-minded players, or simply accept the PKing as a facet of game play on your server. On Elite, in particular, I enjoy being the Hunted, I enjoy being the Hunter, and I enjoy my freedom to have chosen a server where it is not always my choice which of those roles I will fill at a given moment. This isn´t really relevant to your server, it´s just a self-contained statement.

NEO does not play on Seattle. Any players using the NEO tag there are not actual members of our clan. so what yourr saying Tasiin is that some one is using your name on Seattle server I think not, why would anyone use your name to frame you. Also why do u think its fun to kill things. Its a game played by many who play because they remember Elite not because they want to be killed because you find it fun. As i said before I am not a clan member and i dont recruit players but if NEO starts to try and tax toll kill on site there are many who will return the fav Thats all there is to it

Do me a favor and visit OWL forums. check out their recruiting rules. You´ll understand what I´m talking about then.

blackhawk i have seen there recruiting rules. And they seem to ask people to join them, as they did when i joined the server for the first time. I said no thanks, they have never attacked me but in stead have offered me help and advise. The OWL clan let you play the game the way you want and dont bully players that dont want to join them. NEO on the other hand just put you on a KOS list and make your gaming experance hell. Every clan has there bad eggs , but NEO seem to be all badeggs. Aslo like some has said there is no anti OWL clan but there are many anti NEO what does that tell you The main thing is when you pay for a game over 30$ (it was 39.99) I want to be able to play without others ruining for me. I play ghost recon if i want to kill or be killed by other players, but thats just me. You play the game the way you want but leave others alone to play the game the way they want. your fun is not fun too me

Most likely OWL, in answer to your question, Alpha. I have not even logged into Seattle once, I only know of it by reputation. And Gung_Ho, all of what you said was correct, kinda rare to see someone on here that actually understands us. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

i´ve been playing on Elite once... and just departed from crete and some NEO guy said something about me flying a titan... i said i fly an eagle... he said &quot;are u calling me a lier?!?! DIE!&quot; .... well... is it my problem he can´t READ my infocard and tell an eagle from a titan?

i just have one reply to that statement MUHAHAHAHA

you will not find NEO on any other server then Elite , because they know they will be blown to shreds everywhere else where they are not backed by the Admins I saw one NEO show himself on Calgary once , equiped with an ubershield and beam guns (so much for NEO never modding) and he got his ass handed to him the moment he opened his mouth NEO can only exist by the graces of the Elite Admins (mainly because they are the Elite admins) and aslong as there are people willing to endure the abuse on Elite and play there NEo has a reason to exist There are plenty of other good servers around where there is no such abuse going on (Seattle , UK 24/7 , Argonia, Freeport 3 and Freeport 9 to name a few) You do not need to be afraid to find any NEO players there (they lack the courage) and lets face it , building a new account only takes a few hours. My advice to everybody is to ignore Elite so NEO can have it´s wish and have an empty server all for themselves (must be fun)

1st It will never happen. There is no such thing empty server. 2nd Dont run from troubles, If there is problem I whould like to deal with it.

Moby i fully agree with you provided you get a fair chance , as it is anybody who kicks neo´s behind on Elite gets banned, so what is the use
