Corsair - Zoner

[Agmen of Eladesor]

Start with an FR5 against the people abusing freeports to launch attacks and retreat from attacks to the Freeports. That would probably solve everything without any need for any bases to change hands or anything like that. The more Zoners like yourself stick your fingers in your ears and yell there is nothing you can do, the worse it will get.

That's why the Guild Core was red to Zoners for quite a while last year.

On a different note, how long is this going to drag on before the Admin team comes down on the side of the Zoners (again) since they're the ones throwing the loudest hissy fit, and we see an intervention in the war like we did the last two (or is it up to three now) times that this happened?

For what it's worth, for all the whining and bitching about RP and people shooting each other instead of singing kumbayalalalala around a burning campfire (or planet) - realize that our characters out there in space are being roleplayed by the players EXACTLY like humans interact. We piss each other off and we fight. We've been doing it for thousands of years now, and I doubt very seriously that in the Discovery future that things are really going to change much.

Obviously Princess Dab and the Gallic families are invading Sirius - hey, look, war! Rheinland and Liberty are still fighting - hey, look, war! Zoners are trying to remain neutral and not get involved in things - but they're finding out (once again) that allowing group A to dock on their Freeports when group B doesn't like group A tends to end the neutrality because it pisses group B off - a LOT. (Again, you'd have thought they figured that out the LAST two or three times that happened.)

As for WHY it happens - let's see. Outcasts don't like Corsairs. Core doesn't like Order. Outcasts don't like Core. Corsairs don't like Core. Hessians don't like Corsairs. And they're ALL right in that little area.

In other words, your neutrality is only good as long as everyone involved actually respects it. It only takes one group to say, screw this, you're harboring our enemies, and that makes you our enemy as well.

Personally, I'd like to see this run its course, and for the dev team to make note of this. Individual ID's and thus related station ownership for each GROUP of Zoners would be more appropriate - especially since they've always gone back on that individual responsibility. That way TAZ and OSI can sit back while whoever - if anyone - is still in O-74 and Theta gets the crap kicked out of them by everyone - because that's what's happening.

Oh god... The end of days... Agmen agreed with me.
