The Ninth Fleet
« on: December 11, 2005, 10:41:19 pm »
Well, this is a hard post to make, since it involves something that has become a standard term amoung our community.

The 9th Fleet has been around for a long time, one of the oldest fleets around SFC at that, and today things will change.

Due to a difference in oppinions between members of the fleet, the old forums will be coming down.  The fleet itself though will be countinuing on, nothing will be changed and the events of the past day will be forgotten.  The fleet will continue on, as only a small number of our members have left.  Frey has graciously agreed to play host to our forums, much to the excitement of our management.  Hopefully, some time soon, we all will be able to plug in 9thfleet.com and find our fleet forums.

I would ask that this be something that we can all let pass, since some pretty prominent members of the fleet have left over this issue and difference of oppinion.

We will still be appearing on KCW and campaigns to follow.  We will still be the Ninth.

I just felt the need to post this here in case anything might leak out into the open about what has happened.  If at all possible, due to the confusion inside my mind and the minds of the other senior members, that should anyone know what might have been going on, to just keep it quiet.

Such controversy as what has happened is something that is unfortunate and, in hindsight, probably an error in judgement on all parties involved.

Reprisal is still our Fleet Admiral, and we are still the Ninth Fleet.

Thank you everyone for your understanding,
Mike (a.k.a. F9thBraxton)

If it is of any consolation...the Black fleet has few, if any, original members either....although all are allways welcome....some have lost touch...

The Fleet lives on through others....and we try and pay homage to the legacy and uphold tradition.

Some peeps put fleet..before game...some peeps put game before fleet...for most people they are one in the same...

The KBF is an SFC fleet...and what I know of my brothers...it ALLWAYS will be so...

Members of the 1AF have had many friends both past and present in the 9th fleet and will continue to show honor and dignity to anyone who wears the 9th tag.

My beginnings in this game stem from the 9th.
 
I owe my love of this game to that beginning.

If there is anything I can do to mediate, calm, talk to, open a door to, or relieve tension, let me know.

You guys have my undiluted support. My mission asignment has changed, but not my friendships in the 9th.

Besides, I haven't kicked Rep's butt in a loooong time, lol! ;)

What Thrain said applies to me as well. Before finally finding my true home with the Interstellar Morning Zoo, aka the 1AF, I started out in the 9th, and you guys are the best wingmen one could ask for. Anything I can do to help, let me know.

Actually the emotion on this thread is kinda making me nauseous

While I truly sympatize with the plight they're going through,
Brax is really just looking for sympathy because i told him he'd
be flying opposite my house for KCW.

It's OK to be scared Brax.
Everyone else is as well..

Good Luck With Your New Home!

*looks down at Hexx and considers just stepping on him and being done with it, then decides that the admins would just make him clean up the mess, which is below the dignity of this Kzin, so he just snorts disdainfully*

Sympathy ploy indeed...Some people have no respect for their betters.


Ryker and Braxton both have helped me learn how to fly and fly well. I may only have one PvP win, but where I've not learned how to win much, however badly, I've learned at least how to lose brilliantly, and while I'll probably never be a PvP ace, I've learned enough to begin holding my own against (or with) some of the best players this community has. It's unfortunate that some sort of petty bullsh*t has taken down the 9th Fleet forums. Hopefully you'll get new ones, soon.

Hexx the only thing in doubt about this civil war is which house is going to OWN you at the end. I'm looking forward to it and I may even wind up assigned to YOUR house! (Now maybe the assignment gods will ....erm....place me in opposition?)

I realize you're saying to yourself that this punk Fed pilot can't possibly be serious, but I want to warn you I trained with Dogmatix and KHH Ducky to learn to fly the Klink boats. It took 4 months to get the stink off, but after completing the laundry chore I found that defeating an enemy I understood became a matter of finding them and keeping them on the field of battle. In your case the only weapon I need is a long pointed object to let some air out of that 4 ton load you carry that you call an ego......Happy hunting grounds ;D

I know you're trying to be funny, and lighten the atmosphere, but this is something you should stay out of. Thrain and I have roots with the IX, you don't.

I'm listening to the live feed of KFI in LA of Tookie's well deserved execution....

As for the 9th Fleet, Thrain and I have more networking than you or anybody else. Leave them alone. In the words of Big Joe from "Kelly's Heroes": 'butt out!'

Are we clear?
