As I said in PM, let this be carried out as a comm message to the faction leadership and be dealt in RP so that no one would raise an eyebrow about the FR5 issue etc and all can be arranged accordingly after the fitting RP.
Tommeh's reaction is a side effect of the things I wrote you in PM
Hawk, I could write another wall of text explaining all of your arguments quite detaily, but this is not the way for this, we will sort it out rather inRP then continue here. I am not here for that kind of arguing.
The alliance could make sense if noth Order and Hogosha RPed both as secret semi lawful societies, but since people tend to RP more like "I am an evil pirate" and "I am a good Order", it doenst.
Same as with Zoners, I think it would be better if Order was neutral to all rather than have alliances which faction members will call on in situations when it doesnt really make sense.
