An interesting argument on semantics.
First off I will say I have no problem with Zoners interpreting that they will get the message, but then so will many others in the same way.
I guess it all comes down to how you interpret this.
Quote:To: The Sirius Houses of Kusari, Rheinland, Liberty and Bretonia and all Civilians there in.
Hmm so if the Coalition has any civilians that may operate within any of the houses at any time, like say a trading company that supplies them, they are addressed as well.
Same for the Colonial Republic which also has civilians who can operate in many houses.
Quote:The Zoners are a diverse group of individuals who, for various reasons, have decided to live in the wild and unregulated systems outside colonial control.
One minute Zoners claim to be outside the houses and the next they claim to be civilians within.
You can of course stick to the argument, and in a lot of ways I can agree with that, but so can many others and hence open to Zoners in that way, means open to many others.
We can go on twisting this all day long and it will remain an argument of semantics.
EDIT for post below:
I will just say that I may have been slightly to blame for the corporations when I posted that I was attending, I did make it clear I was representing the Kusari government as opposed to Samura but that was probably missed.
As to the Zoner issue, all of my personal concerns about that were brought up above, if they are to be included as civilians in that sentence, then almost everyone is.
About the number of Zoner reps, that is a purely InRP issue, I can understand that they are varied and want to represent themselves.
The concerns brought up by others was also an InRP response as they realised that one group would have nearly a third of all representatives while goups larger than double the size or even three times the size or more would be limited to one, even when some do indeed have concerns as varied as those of Zoners.
So yeah that seems to be part of the breakdown, but a part that was perfectly within RP to have.
