That seems to be the line that gives me pause about power gaming. How EXACTLY would ZA have just infiltrated all those organizations? Is there any justifiable RP for this, or did you just decide that you did? Because the latter certainly sounds like power-gaming.
To be honest....I don't mind if you want to make yourselves a more aggressive, militant-minded Zoner faction. It's probably what they need to actually make themselves less bored.
But how you go about that process is important, especially making sure that you stay at least somewhat within the confines of what it means to be a Zoner as defined by the ID, devs, lore, etc.

An idea: Zoner IFF / Pirate ID.
And go on a killing spree, but don't venture too close to House space.

ZA is dead. The community has spoken.
Write it off and try something else with a different name and a different ID.
Preferably on a different server.
Do you represent the community? Do you or the "friends" to whom you associate automaticaly represent the community? Im sorry my lord.
Even if Sindroms does not represent the community and a douche from time to time, at least he has more idea what the community wants than the Zoner Alliance group ever will.

I think you two have language barriers with what a born-british person says, he has said so in a different context, trying to explain this to you will be an insult to his intelligence, so I'll let you enjoy the benefit of the doubt.

Also, I don't think this thread belongs here anymore...
It has been derailed into Flood... Pretty much from the very start.

I'm still laughing.
I'm sitting here in AP World History and laughing my ass off.
EVERYONE IS STARING AT ME.

The problem is that you taking advantage of Zoner neutrality by adopting the ID and name, yet your goals are completely opposite of what Zoners have carefully developed over years of gameplay.
If you wish to be hell bent on war and destruction, pick a different ID.
We didnt start out as a miltiary force, this was forced upon us!
We started as simple Zoner's and due to constant attacks!
Would anyone just sit back and let themselves get constantly attacked.
Maybe thats what Zoner's are and thats what they will be forever seen as punching bags.
I cannot see a group launch themselves out of house space into the far flung hostile enviroment and not feel the need to become defensive then offensive when the need arose.
If we evolved beyond simple 'Zoner' Lore thats not our fault, but meerly circumstances pushed us into that direction.
If i could turn back the clock then i would.
But any group in the future that we as a group form would be attacked, both on forum and ingame.
So what I.D. would you suggest that allows us to progress? What can you suggest we do with our bases? Could they be moved if we sought to change our I.D.?
