Closed Factions IDs= Terrorist IDs?

[Dane Summers]

A Corsair asks first and kills if he doesn't get to put some food in his baby's mouth while the SCRA kills for sport (or because they don't like the corsairs). You really don't see anything wrong there?

The problem being - you demand and then take by force from non-combatants, because you feel your society is more deserving, and are convinced of that fact. If you met a freighter captain barely making ends meet, no doubt his struggling doesn't mean a damn to you - and widowing his wife and orphaning his kids would make a corsair laugh. So yeah, i see a problem with that.

As for the SCRA - the point of our RP is that while we believe our goals are noble, we go about it in twisted ways. It's unfortunate, but it reinforces that there is no good guys in sirius - and in war, no side is just, because war makes monsters of everyone.

As for "killing for sport" - that sounds like your speaking from a corsair perspective again. Were a military at war with military targets. That includes the corsairs, who are, in essence, a military\warrior society.

We do not, and will not shoot people who aren't military targets.

Dane, just because you didn't understand me the first time I'll say it again: we don't want to rule anything and we never "invaded" anything, it's the other way around. SCRA wants to rule a Communist Sirius and SCRA is running all over the place killing people. All we want is a normal society, economy and life. We have been deprived from all the luxuries of the other houses, like food, water, technology and stuff like that and we're fighting for our people, all of them.

I'll admit looking at things from rose-tinted faction glasses, but only if you will.
The corsairs may have begun as a nation of starving orphans - but thats not what they are now - they are brutal, selfish, racist warrior society, completely unconcerned with anyone but themselves.
If given the option of ruling Rheinland, I have no doubt they would do so, only because they would see themselves as better rulers then the inherent rheinland government - at which point Stuttgart would have the majority of its food sent to crete, and the rheinland working class given over to make corsair tools of war, so as to keep there gains.

So no, I dont buy the "poor abused starving orphans" act for a minute, and no matter how many times you try to sell that particular lame story, it doesn't get any more true.

The Corrupt Elders propaganda makes no sense since there are absolutely no indications of them stealing other people's stuff. In fact, both Sails and Benitez Elders are often seen in the field, fighting and pirating for their nation while they could be getting fat in the Council Chambers.

*shrug* most likely - not the argument im trying to make. I'm explaining why the corsairs are a self-centered, savage, racist society full of murderers and people who take by force.

As opposed to a government whose goal is to destroy the current accepted governments, and build anew in there own vision of what they feel is right - does that mean it will be? I doubt it.

Oh yeah, and as for the tech argument - I hear lots of corsairs saying they should have hogosha raba's.
