I'm not insinuating the DRF will buy out their opponents when force and threats won't do the job. I'm saying it outright. <br /><br />You've agreed with me that they've used bribery in the past and it's been an effective element of their strategy. Thus, by definition, bribery is in their playbook. I see no reason as to why they should discard such a successful practice, and your comment doesn't provide a compelling argument as to why they would. <br /><br />As to whether or not the DRF have used that particular play since Vale and Geminate, why would they? With their enemies on the run, at bay or on their backs piddling themselves, bribery would be a waste of coin. <br /><br />And in case you wonder, I don't think less of the DRF for playing the bribe card. Buying off the defenders is a venerable practice in the annals of siege warfare. <br /><br />I'm merely a little hurt that they haven't seen fit to drop a few trillion on me.Mord Fiddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01734756410122516725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604973112865316634.post-23203237412856137522011-11-10T08:31:47.095-08:002011-11-10T08:31:47.095-08:00What Rixx said.

Having lots of money will have no effect on the tier 3 BC market. Do you think that the DRF plans to buy up every Tornado in hopes of squashing any "welp-fleet" possibilities? That is impossible. Moreover, your second insinuation, that the DRF will buy out its opponents, has no backing. The only time they have bribed was against R.A.G.E. to drop some systems; in the months since, they have continued to roll in money but have made no bribery attempts.Stephen McMurtryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02927882216046995252noreply@blogger.com
