Message from the Nordic Garrison

[TK6237[501st]]

Being both a member of the Nordic Garrison Council and registered at the FISD, I´ve been tasked with passing on this message:

 

This is an official message from the Command Council of the 50st Legion: Nordic Garrison.

 

As you may or may not have heard, there has been a lot of discussion recently about a new armour maker calling himself Piratetrooper (PT). He is selling a recasted then modified version of the TE2 armour. The guy behind this has openly admitted in several places that he is recasting.

 

So, why are we telling you all this? Well, sadly, the guy behind it all is a former member of our garrison. He left, due to personal reasons, about 2 months ago and almost immediately began trading as Piratetooper on ebay.

 

As he is no longer a Nordic Garrison member we do not feel that there is much we can do to encourage him to stop this activity but we feel that we owe it to you all to a) Inform you about the recasting and Make it very clear that we do not condone this behaviour. If, at some point in the future, he tries to reactivate his legion membership then we will, hopefully, be able to take direct action but until that time there is not much we can do. While we don't support his actions, it is up to each person to make their own choice whether to buy from him or from the original maker.

 

We hope that this will in no way affect anyone's opinion of Nordic Garrison or the 501st Legion as a whole and we look forward to continued contact with you all.

 

If you have any questions or suggestions then please feel free to contact us.

 

Regards

 

Nordic Garrison Command Council

 

...Yeah, I know this issue has been discussed at length on this forum already, but Garrison Command felt the need to show that we are taking a stand against this practice. Legion policy being what it is, sending out an alert to inform present and future members is about as far as we can go. We are not granted the right to stop people from buying or obtaining membership with recasted armor, but we will make an attempt at helping people browsing for TK armor make an informed decision. This message will also be posted on the other relevant detachment forums, and on the 501st message board.

thought I'd bump this up as there seems to be some people who arent aware of this douche

 

PT or pirate trooper armour

 

its recast WITHOUT permission of TE2 armour

Tony is one of the nicest guys out there, and he pulls one mean suit of white armour.

 

dont want to clutter Alex's thread, and perhaps he got his armour w/o knowledge of its origins - thats all fine.

I hope it goes well Alex. congrats to the admin for cleaning up that thread too and the nordic garrison for taking such a stance.

 

for the people praising the armour - can we just remember that it is recast WITHOUT permission of TE2 armour

 

WITHOUT permission being the operative words.

 

thank you
