I wanted to play with you guys, but none of you were willing to give me a ride to your base. Planr wanted me to drive the entire 70-minute journey (covered in like 6 minutes by warp-drive) as some kind of test of dedication even though I'd already played with you guys on another server. Eventually, I got someone else in the faction to give me a ride to your base, but Planr refused to add me to the faction. At that point I just cut my losses and left lol.
Comr4de ordered me to boot you from the faction because of your constant arguing, which is why I would not reinvite you.
Everyone else grinded their way to the base just fine without any problems, but yet you come along and whine about how it's "illogical" and "a waste of your time" to do what everyone else did, thinking you're entitled to special treatment. This "test of dedication" is no test at all; it's just a simple matter of mining for a few resources to build a jump drive with, and then you're done. Instead of doing anything productive you decided to waste the next half-hour arguing with me about it (and by the time you gave up on arguing, you could've already been well on your way to getting to the base).
I know you said you "did the math" and supposedly "proved" it would be faster for me to pick you up, but trust me when I say those numbers never play out in actual practice (due to lag, plus a bug with warp drive not activating when clicked and requiring multiple recharges for one jump). Furthermore, also because of what I mentioned in the above paragraph.
Still, I know I was a bit arrogant myself about the revisions I did to the base, and I realize that that was wrong, which is fitting then for me having left the server faction. So I guess you and I are in the same bucket.
Regardless, that's all in the past, so it doesn't matter any more. I don't hold it against you any more; I hope the feeling's mutual man. Maybe next time things will go better for both of us.
