750 Zen for a marriage license seems kind of expensive, but the huge bonuses when you're grouped with your spouse might be worth it I guess.

The fact you can only get gay married with it seems restrictive but it makes sense when you think about what's going on in the news.

Crazy xean's latest crazy rant

quote:

Above all I have mentioned, your fleet attempts to derail my threads including this fleet thread, insults my friends to get to me besides the usual personal offensive remarks and yet you expect respect? You've just proved your group's in line with the same twisted thinking that makes some think they have the authority to bully people because their group believes they can get away with it and gain respect. All that bragging about support from "staff" behind the scenes may make your group think it's "superior" and above the rules. I don't. The only hole is the one you've tried to dig for others to no avail only to find yourselves in it. The only war the rage conjured in your minds when you cannot gain frivolous satisfaction and superiority over those acutely aware of your methods as I.

The facts are the amount of people who despise your group far exceeds any number who have even heard of mine. If anyone despises me at all, it is through the provocative lies your group has deliberately spread to attempt making me feel as antagonized, isolated and worthless as possible for their self-gratification. Only a fraction of the people in the NoP Public Service channel are even aware of what your group really engages in and some are friends of mine, including under cover of your own fleet; where there is secret dissent. As more people find out what kind of game you truly play and the methods you use, even more will despise your group.

I have all the evidence to prove SomethingAwful and affiliates Dental are among online groups who exploit and abuse STO, while doing the same to people; to cause for sport as much real life interference as possible, for as much distress as possible to individuals. I know your members have actively searched and compiled as much information as they can about me and others. I know they have and continue to actively search for my address and personal information. I can prove you are cyber-bullies, that you support and propagate others of your ilk and more to those whose business it is to know; starting with the Administrators of Star Trek Online.

The actions of SomethingAwful's members in attempting to tarnish STO with their psychologically sadistic tactics are not just reprehensible, but a disgrace to an otherwise wonderfully pleasant MMORPG and every principle of understanding Trek stands for. You want to continue covering for those hiding behind a computer while cowardly engaging in illicit deeds, it's your accounts; use them as you will. I'm not going to stop you online. What I will do online is continue to act accordingly with intelligence to prevent your group's detrimental ways from affecting others further.

You group has picked on the wrong man. There is nothing you can do to intimidate me. Your smug response only serves to further the disdain held for online groups like yours and their harmful activities. Even if some succeed in causing harm, the ultimate consequences for behavior thus, are for your group and those involved to bear, not mine. Your group will not cause me to become autistic, a mass-murderer, or alter my mind from reality, as your members have repeatedly publicly insinuated. We do not negotiate with cyber-bullies and will not accept any apologies unless backed by deeds as aforementioned.

As for the repeated behavior of your members on this and other threads; we are not your fleet and this is not your thread. Your goal here regardless whatever excuses, was as with others; to make sure this thread gets shut down through derailment, flaming and interference. That is not welcome here.

EDIT: Further postings will be taken into account. I have all confidence @pwlaughingtrendy / forum mods will be keen. Kindly I request of mods, please leave this thread open with this and the last 2 posts intact even if you edit recruitment references to their fleet; as example that trying to undermine STO and these forums through such tactics is a futile effort.

I now distance myself and return to more important matters. ~~~ Xean

I realized that xean literally writes manifestos like one of those psycho killers.

He got kicked off some website where people critique each other's poetry for sending threats to people, in like 2011?

I'm kind of worried he's gonna shoot up a dentist's office where he lives or something, and leave behind one of his delusional psycho manifesto rants.

Let me tell you about Square-Enix.

Though, I think in their case, it's more due to them having a mortal fear of the internet and needing to control absolutely everything than being incompetent or lazy and cheap.

Easiest is probably buying them from the starbase with your fleet credits, if you find a fleet that's leveled one up enough there. :v: Otherwise grabbing a bunch of doff packs and copying the character over and over and transferring them to the char actually doing the testing.

In unrelated news, Cryptic apparently forgot to allow either version of the Arbiter to equip the cloaking device console, despite it being an advertised feature and it work just fine on the Avenger. :downs: Not that there's really a point in using it, but it's yet another example of how pathetic their quality control is. On the upside, you can at least make the Arbiter look pretty nice if you kitbash in some of the Avenger bits.
