Have you ever watched professors at a university fight over tenure? The fighting is so tooth-and-nail precisely because there's so little to fight over.
I mean, it's not like the rest of W&P is all monacles and cognac and "well played, old chaps -- fancy another round." There's plenty of sperg. But Syndicate has such little resources, and nothing that forces an undock-or-die choice (~~npcstations~~), so basically the only reason people undock here at all is because of either excessive pride, or lack of any pride whatsoever. And pride leads to posting!
Frankly, though, I can't help but welcome this new era in W&P. I salute Sofia as the New Colossus. "Keep battle reports, your storied pomp! Give me your umads, your no-u's, your shitposters yearning to sperg free!" Anderson shall return in glory to his usual badposting shortly.![]()
