In regards to FP1 today

I didn't say you couldn't go into the SCRA channel. I merely pointed out the info you obtain there should not have any affect on your character's role play. That is meta gaming.

OSI and TAZ get to influence what Zoners do because we are official factions and it is our right, aswell as our responsibility. That is how this server functions. You as an indy Zoner can also influence what happens by working with OSI and TAZ, just as the CoF has over the past few months.

No one is telling you, you have to play along with the role play. If you want to shoot the SCRA contrary to what both OSI and TAZ have asked; you're free to do so. Just keep in mind there will be consequences for your actions.

Judging from some of your post you still don't understand what is going on. Go read the Comm Threads. No one is saying a Zoner can't enter 49. You can. The only thing that is different than normal right now is the SCRA will likely kreig Zoner combat ships that enter 50.

The Gallic Royal Navy was no threat to Zoners. Via diplomatic talks with them, OSI was assured if all Zoners kept an attitude of non interfernce (neutral) stance with Gallia we'd be left alone. The TAZ's role play is what caused the hostile reaction from Gallia. I can't blame you for not knowing that, that role play dates back a couple years. Suffice to say, you didn't know the entire story.

Of course the Omicroners were ready to help the TAZ, it set them squarely against OSI and that is what the leaders of that faction craved. They hated OSI with an ooRP hate - not only an inRP one.

As for acting like you'd know what OSI would do, you're right we likely would not have helped because our role play is that of being neutral. TAZ was inciting the conflict with the GRN. We don't support wars, especially one where peace can be obtained, but is not due to one side inciting hostilities. We didn't support the TAZ's actions and thus we would not have stood by them in their futile fight against the GRN. Though, if you paid attention to our role play with Gallia, we were doing our best to prevent the TAZ from coming to harm. Funny how people ignore certain aspects of things just so they can preach their vision of it.

Neither OSI nor TAZ have issued any in role play orders to Zoner independants as a whole. My character gave Trogdor orders. That is the only in role play order given by either TAZ or OSI that I know of. I only gave the order because my characer and Trogdor's character know each other and Trogdor's knows it was more of a request than an order.

As I said, you're character is under no such order. Do what you want regarding the situation, just keep in mind that actions have consequences.

As for your ranting about the modification to the Zoner ID - I had nothing to do with that. Purely an admin/dev thing. Does it suck? Somewhat. Can I still play my Zoner? Yep.

As for people complaining about non Zoners using Zoner stations? Not sure why you complain; you're not the one that deals with those complaints. That typically falls to the CoF, TAZ, or OSI. Very few of you indy players bother with that type of stuff.
