My guess is that the TAZ are more accepting of "off-brand" roleplay because we've ourselves been rather "off-brand" since the days we flew nekkid and threw pies as the [ELF]. For some bloody reason, folk seemed to enjoy this foolishness, and have let us employ high weirdness as our "stock-in-trade" ever since.
Of course, the compliments should extend to the Council of Zoners, who "vetted" the deal as well.
Tink...yer good with me too mate. Glad ta have yer hide in space, and remember...Neither the Hodge nor the Podge may prevail. So we gotta have those that get lynched, we just gotta make sure we get some on each side at just the right times, so the balance remains. You can't have good without bad, and you really can't get great without CRAP! So, eat yer pies when they get thrown, and when you get a clean shot, throw one back!
Keep up the great work, and effort. And, maybe, just a little for some eye opeing stuff for dealing with everyone? Maybe go fly on an intern like status with a couple groups other than just the Junkers, and the Zoners as well. There are lots of great people out there, and a few knucke draggers too. Its Freelancer, its so easy a Caveman can do it. Don't take it personal, keep your duck feathers on yer shoulders and when it gets so bad you wnat to strangle them all, throw 50 mil into building a Super killer ship and tag it Xenos and go into New York and do just that. Kill them all. When you do that though, bring duct tape. Works better than bots. Ciao mate, and we'll be lookin for ya out there.
