I'm going to comment on the whole Zoner 5k in house space to begin with. Az need not justify why OSI can dock in house space with Zoner 5ks. The regular Zoner ID not being allowed to dock in house space has no role play reasoning; never did. It was (and still is) an out of role play rule designed to prevent the Zoner ID from being used as a power-trading-you-cannot-pirate-me-I-am-neutral card. It worked; all those nubs started using the Interspace ID. OSI under my leadership and then Stygian's leadership worked towards the goal of having our own ID that allowed us to function as we functioned before the rule was put in place (IE: OSI is older than the no docking in house space rule and docking in house space was a very large part of OSI's role play).
Onto the whole OSI getting caught with their pants down in Rheinland. I don't know any details nor do I need to. It happens. I haven't read the role play between OSI's current leaders and Rheinland, but if I was still around I'd make an effort to appease Rheinland; if that means paying a small fine, wonderful. Az appears to have went the creative route (IE: He is role playing! Shocking, I know. Role playing from a faction that claims to role play!).
@eisen
I'm not sure what responsibility of an official faction forces official factions to role play in a manner that makes you happy. I highly doubt they've added one that forces official factions to do exactly what others want them to do.
My advice to you is to role play. Instead of complaining and threatening ooRP action because Az decided to be creative and role play this faction to faction encounter out (as opposed to just going - yea our bad won't happen again).
@ Trail
Do remember this is a role play server. Perhaps Az's goal is to get OSI into trouble? If everyone did everything right and perfect - it be some damn boring role play.
Both of you appear to me to be threatening ooRP consequences, which I honestly hope isn't the case.
I will say that if OSI characters (not players) have big mouths in game and aren't smiling and winking/subtle bribing local law and local criminals - than something is rather awry with OSI.
I also don't like to hear that OSI seems to have devolved into a ore/fuel power trading faction. Stygian/myself never forbid it, but we did our utmost to make sure there were also a ton of in role play trading going on.
/rant Anyways, I had to drop my dime in. Still love the OSI. I hope all of you are enjoying the faction too. Cheers. (I'll see all of you in that new RSI game years from now!)
