In regards to FP1 today

If the SCRA decides to shoot Zoners, I'll lose more than you will. I'll likely lose a character who I've role played for three years. Why? Because he was the one who managed to get the SCRA to leave 49 peacefully. He is the one in Omega-52 trying to figure out what is going on and prevent any bloodshed; as is Triton of the TAZ.

So do not try to act like I have nothing to at stake here. Will you see any of my Zoner ships there? If I am online during the fighting, most likely.

As for why you don't know what is going on? You're an indy Zoner. Plain and simple. OSI and TAZ are official factions, it is our right and responsibility to guide Zoner role play. What that means is, when other factions feel like role playing something that affects Zoners as a whole, they typically come to OSI or TAZ. Via OSI and TAZ, the CoF has a voice. Via OSI and TAZ, many of you Indy players also have a voice. Notice Trogdor? He has been extremely active and vocal regarding this entire affiar. Does he know exactly what is going on? No. Should he? No. It would affect the way he role plays his character if he knew. Am I saying he would abuse the knowledge? Not at all. He is human. We all do it. That is the very reason I am not involving myself with the role play regarding the assembly of a defense force for Canaira. I know details that I might let influence my role play subconsciencly.

I'm sorry if you don't like the fact that official factions hold more sway than those, who for the most part put far less time into the factions they play, but that is how it is and how it should be.

Oh and just to reiterate it. I was online for the entire episode in 49 the other night. The SCRA didn't shoot any Zoner. They only shots they took were at two player stations to activate their shields. One of those stations happens to belong to OSI.

While the SCRA didn't inform us before hand - they did a stand up job of doing it as quickly as the role play unfolded. Even had they informed OSI and TAZ before hand it would not have stopped the Indy Zoner players from going ZonerZonerZoner as they have. If you think otherwise, I'll point you to the past.

The leaders of the SCRA, TAZ, and OSI know what is going on. We've all had input into it. The admins know what is going on. They are okay with it and some of them even support keeping most of the Indy Zoners out of the loop as doing so actually creates the effect the role play is designed for.
