A few hours ago on RK2 a fight broke out at 2ho,
since I happen to be in the grid at the time I decided to drop in and tru myself as a freelance reporter and log the event, bad choice and a puny report it turned out to be, got some nice feedback in the grid later on but looging the actual event turned out like this:

(Grids into 2ho, runs far away from battle, outside range, finds a discrete place to sit, and starts logging)

01:25: Kryptis shouts: omni run....you can not win here
01:27: Azatha shouts: OMNITECH IS YOUR FRIEND
01:27: Azatha shouts: OMNITECH IS YOUR FRIEND
01:27: Conduct shouts: Killed another OMNI !!!
01:28: Sectopod shouts: You suck, go to bed
01:28: Azatha shouts: OMNITECH IS YOUR FRIEND
01:28: Sectopod shouts: give me an orange one and i'll hit him with 1 point of projectile damage
01:29: Lachaude shouts: PEACE PEACE PEACE PEACE
(DEAD)
(Strategy rething, remove all armor, puts away energy shield, puts on casual wear. grids in, runs backwards and sit,
stating several times I'm here as an observer...)

gives up, stays near 2ho point in grid)

02:20: Tanghil: is it a good fight then?
02:20: Ailie: no
02:20: Ailie: not enough of the clan.
02:20: Tanghil: unbalanced?
02:20: Ailie: big time...
02:20: Sental: this is soo stupid
02:20: Sental: i finally found a guy i could fight
02:20: Ailie: the 15 second rule would be great ...
02:20: Tanghil: is there a good range of levs? or justhigh levs?
02:21: Sental: but some 100 mp put their heal pet on the guy
02:21: Ailie: actually, I'm one of the higher levels. and it seems all the clan are grey 2 me.
02:21: Tanghil: outch. not good.
02:21: Ailie: I'm trying to convince to to attack a clan outpost, but nah....
02:21: Ailie:
02:21: Tanghil: lol.
02:22: Azatha: maybe if we are more we can take grid acces back
02:22: Tanghil: So who think this is a good fight? or is it a bad and if so why?
02:22: Sental: it would be a good fight if that MP didn't put his ql 100 heal pet on the guy i was fighting! grr!!!!!
02:22: Azatha: no it s a good but gard fight we need to be more
02:22: Ailie: I only had two kills (one was you... so not very good... too many people... would like to go on the offensive but no one would have it.
02:23: Tanghil: and the lag? is that ok or ppl having trouble?
02:23: Sental: i had no lag
02:23: Ailie: A little lag, not bad...
02:23: Ekiero shouts: go go go go go gog og og go gogogogogogogog
02:23: Tanghil: dont stop on your fighting lol. keep moving lol
02:24: Omina shouts: to all clan: we are taking the battle to MMD there we can't gridcamp...
02:27: Tanghil: Well i got my report. most of it. some input. youll see a post at the AO forums, and maybe AO Basher. well see... I'll have to trust word of mouth on the outcome like everybody else (sigh)
02:28: Tanghil: oh damn. gotta get my stuff. forgot to reclaim after last time i was killed lol
02:28: Tanghil: its nuts in 2h0 now.
(went hunting instead, no idea how the thing ended, Feel sorry for others who wish to just observe, TAB Killing takes you down if you are omni or clan (like me) neutrals will also be tAB killed.
I feel for Sion and other reporters (like my puny freelance attempt just now) who goes thru this over and over.
I for one do NOT wish to be field reporter in a PvP fights thats for sure...)
