The claimed idea was a carry over from their Star Wars days; apparently they thought the best way to guarantee opponents for pvp (despite the fact that no member was allowed to pvp outside the group) was to intentionally troll the forums to piss everyone off. But the thing was? They were just so BAD at it. It was more pathetic then anything else.|

Rock, rock on Hamster.
I guess that makes SOME sense, if you were one to fail at considering the fact that MMOs vary and even contain radically different demographics and cultures at times.

They claimed they would be the top pvp group on Victory. Also, none of their members were even allowed to pvp (part of the by-laws).
It was sad. [/i] |

The amount of misinformation in this thread is thicker than the spew from Congress these days.
And get it right- its BLC.

I've already forgotten about most of you
My goodness, takes me back to the halcyon days that does...
I must say, it takes a coordinated effort to fail at PvP on both the forums and in game. In that measure at least, BLT was pretty dang successful...
Thank goodness there is no PvP anymore

True, but can you really fail at pvp if no one in your sg actually pvps? It's like standing next to a major car crash and miraculously no one is hurt. |

I've been here a loooooooooong time....and all of that was completely new to me 
Chuckled at Shamster already using it.

I actually may find myself more invested in it than I originally thought... I had a mighty bad Wikipedia-bout back in 2007 where I accumulated over 100,000 edits in a 3 month period.
wow, Wikia... >.> I'll setup a MediaWiki install, and give you full rights to it if for gods sake you move it from Wikia...

Yep. That's the idea of a Wiki. It is supposed to function like an encyclopedia comprised of shared knowledge, but you can make your own for whatever you'd like. So, feel free to dive in there ;-)
If you want to see some ridiculous cyber arguments, go watch an RFA (Request For Admin) on Wikipedia.

Hypothetically, not that anyone on Victory would ever do this
, say you write out a detailed bio. With this set up, can't anyone just come in and delete or alter that bio completely?
