Freeport 9 Public Announcement

[DAnvilFan]

Think over the last year and a half, how have the Zoners tried to show that they were intrested in improving relations between the Zoners and the Corsairs?

I would like for you to pick up the phone and give papa Carlos Benitez a ring.

Then I want you to ask him about a certain deal that the Zoners Trading Consortium made with them half a year ago to improve relations. Specifically regarding trading. Specifically regarding Guard systems.


Encrypted to: all Corsairs

To everyone else, I want you to look at all of the footage I submitted of my ship delivering goods to your people. This is just what I recorded on my spare time and I usually recorded about half of my deliveries. But let's pretend I didn't. Let's pretend this is everything that I personally delivered in the past year.

50,000 units you say Elder Globalo?

Now I want you to take that number. Multiply it by 10 to represent the number of trade Whales that Zoners Consortium has had in the past year.

Now take that number and multiply it by 4 (TAZ, OSI, ZTC, and Pioneer Corporation).

That's 2 million units of food supplies dropped straight at your doorstep in the past year.
This is not even counting Independent Zoners.

That's not even counting that we have had food for sale AT FREEPORT 9, real food brought from the Core worlds (not just Biodomes), that your Corsair trade vessels (some of which were supplied to you by the Council of Zoners) could have easily purchased from Freeport 9 themselves for LESS the cost and without delivery FEES.

[Zelot]

Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I look at your pictures there Mr Pushkin, I see Yev Lightwing.... how many months ago was that? You have delivered 8 loads of food in some 8 months or so? Oh how grateful we should be to you. Oh how indebted we should be to you. Should we rub your feet? If we rub your feet what should we do for the IND who have brought 200,000 units of food at least to Crete in the last 2 months? I dont know if my legs can open that wide.

You made a deal with the Benitez for something in their guard system? Funny I as under the knowledge that O-94 was not a guard system, the only "Guard" system the Corsairs have is O-91 and The Brotherhood doesnt have any deals with you, so you dont have a deal to do anything in the Corsair guard system.

This all just seems to be in line with the long Zoner tradition of fudging the truth.

*I* delivered that. My ship. Was your 200,000 units from IND delivered by ONE person?
These are my personal records. You are completely overlooking the fact that mine was a trading vessel in a single faction, with a dozen other whales, and 3 other factions to boot. Excluding the Independents.

Pick up the damn phone and give Carlos a call. What's wrong? Afraid to find out the truth?

Afraid to find out that while you've been putting a veil over your eyes, that certain Zoners and certain Corsairs made trading deals? That they permitted access to certain restricted areas? That they worked to improve relations?

Go ahead. Knock yourself out.

I'm not saying you didnt make a deal with the Benitez, I am saying you didnt make a deal for access to the Corsair guard system. My point is that you tend to conveniently change details of things, so that they are no longer the truth when making an argument, which is usually a sign of someone who does not think they have enough meat on their argument

As for assuming the amount of food moved by all Zoners to Crete based on 8 pictures of you is a logical fallacy of such immense proportions that I am not even going to bother responding to it.

You admit that we made a deal with one of the most recognized factions in the Corsair Empire.
That trading was involved in this deal.
You admit that it involved access to various areas where *normally* Zoners would get shot on sight and where Corsairs would get shot on sight.

Guard systems. Not Guard systems. Call it what you want. You admit these things.

This is why we went to the Benitez and not the likes of you.
You and your Black Sails have run your Empire into the ground trying to imagine enemies where there were none.

[Zelot]

Again, you cant seem to stick with the total truth, it's mostly truth, but for some reason you have to throw a lie in there to try to make your point, I really cant understand why.

You should stick with the truth, it might do you better in the long run. Along the lines of speaking the truth.

You and your Black Sails have run your Empire into the ground trying to imagine enemies where there were none.

The is no other Corsair leader who has come to the Zoners to propose deals and try to improve our relations diplomatically more often than myself. It was I who came to Port 9 to try and negotiate a settlement to this affair, and was ignored for a month, yet somehow you insult the Brotherhood for not looking for settlements, when in fact it is you and the Zoners who are not looking for a settlement. Either way, it doesnt matter, you all have made clear, the time for settlements is over.

As I said, stick with the truth, it would make it harder for me to make you look like an idiot, because really, there is no challenge in this for me.

I was talking about O-74.

[Not Espi]

Corsairs get shot on sight everywhere they go. Not that I would frequent your space, but - no biggie.

I don't care if *you* don't frequent our space.
The point is that a major Zoner faction and a major family of the Empire started to improve relations half a year ago.

But my hat's off to Black Sails. You and your kind has worked hard to stomp on any relations between our people.

Forget the fact that Eris knows how many countless Zoners brought you what you needed. Or that we allowed Corsairs to settle their very first fertile planet.

Forget the fact that we fought and died to protect these people when QCP asked us to kick them out of Gran Canaria.

Forget the fact that the above was done AFTER Elder Sephardi gave his message to CoZ asking for relations to improve.

Certainly, improving relations doesn't involve a trading deal. And certainly, improving relations doesn't involve fighting to protect your people.

[Zelot]

Fighting to protect our people? You mean enforcing your No Fire Zone dont you? Either you protect the No Fire Zone equally or not. Either you provide the protection to everyone or you dont. Either you follow your own laws or you dont. We should be indebted to you because you did what your laws require you to do? I think not. You want the No Fire Zone, you have to enforce it without expecting it to be a bargaining chip.

One deal with one Corsair faction in a year and a half, massive steps toward improving relations.
