How should Zoners "behave"? - Smiley_ - 10-05-2007
Tank's right. I am getting a little out of hand.
I have no intention of flaming. Really, it is about zoner relations.
I was not intending to insult the RP. Farfeched is something extremely common. I have fixed the post and will write an apoloigy to Dab. I was a complete boob as it were and I give forth my sincerest apologies to all who may have been insulted.

Sigh....
I can't believe I started this whole bloody mess way back when. Mea Maxima Culpa.
At this point, I personally have two options:
Aleph: I can continue to bomb this thread with soothing yet obfuscatory Discordian ontology; or
Beth: I can go ahead and submit that there is room on Discovery for two "flavors" of Zoner.. "good" Zoners, and "not-so-authentic" Zoners.
Dab has invested blood, sweat, and tears (apologies to "STAB"..) in his RP here. I've made a few wrong turns along the way, but have finally found a niche for my little brand of RP as well.
Consider the possibility that the AW ID allows Dab the freedom to be a bit "less-than-Zonerish". I can turn one blind eye to that, and still do my best to maintain what I feel is "proper".
Yeah.. we got flames. Next will be the pitchforks. Not from my corner though. Without going back and reading my original post, I imagine it had my usual amount of ascerbic wit and sly sarcasm embedded. But this is off the wall, folks. I do have some issues with AW still not being sure whether they are or are not flying true Zoner "colors". I'm willing to bend a little in my expectations if AW is willing to be a bit less warlike.
But, it seems that everybody and his Dogma feels they have a stake in this. Why ya gotta be like that?
So.. Aleph? or Beth? That's just my choices. Consider carefully your own choices and responses, and let's see what happens, eh?

I choose Gammeth.
Watch bemused as people grave dig and flame without any intervention from higher authorities. Battle royales are so very nice this time of day!
But honestly. If someone wants to offer criticism to Dab concerning the AW's and Phantom's RP, I'm sure they are allowed to - this might not be the best medium for it, but...

...it isn't about their RP...
It's about what constitutes a 'Zoner', and their diplomatic relations.

I always wondered why the AW was hostile to.... well.... anyone if they are truly a Zoner faction. But then I noticed they actually carried their own ID's and dropped that question. I think Mal is on it with the fact that they are Zoner alligned but are ""not-so-authentic" Zoners."

The wisest comment in this whole thread...perhaps the entire forums.

My problem is that they shouldn't be Zoner aligned if chumming with Outcasts, Lane Hackers and the like.
The Zoners don't *want* allies that start wars with Corsairs, Liberty, Rheinland or even mean old Uncle Dave.

They're not really "chumming" with Outcasts. The Corsair factions have been holding assaults on things in Theta, strictly against Dab's policies for his ZOI, and actively attacking the AW (which yes, I have been here for that from the beginning). They've started it...the Corsairs are trying to kill off the Zoners and annex Freeport Nine. Good deal, kids...

The AW also acted as mercenaries in Gamma. Not the sort of folk Zoners make friends with.
The AW are allied to the Outcast side of the Hispanic Wars. The Zoners would not approve.
Alas, I am going in small circles...

...they're now leaning heavily Outcast because the Corsairs are trying to blow them up. Works for me...
