You indeed did make a statement regarding the legitimacy of Az's role play. You've stated you feel it is a cheap cope out attempt. This is role play. Role. Play.

Try to understand that what you and I would do as a person are not exactly what our characters would do. Your character and your person are seperate entities (or should be). Az's out of role play motivation for not caring as a player because OSI doesn't frequent Rheinland can play into Az's role play - it makes having a rough relationship with another faction/group of factions easier to swallow.

I'd quite like you to explain how being barred from Rheinland and hunted by their lawfuls would be detrimental to OSI. Under my leadership and that of Sigcorps OSI was barred from Kusari and hunted. Didn't phase the faction as a whole. Yes, some of us had to be more sneaky due to the mistakes of others. I wasn't mad at the guy who made the mistake; his mistake meant my trade routes were more exciting because I had to be sneaky and the thrill of out running the Kusari Naval Forces and Police.

I'm not sure how an OSI ship supplying a Hessian base is disappointing. OSI are a bunch of Zoners. Zoners supply people in the Border Worlds and in the Edge. That is how they survive out there. You claim an excuse is being used. There is no excuse, nor a need for one. There is no problem out of role play. There is a problem in role play and Az responded with an in role play gesture.

Regarding the OSI ship that docked with Hamburg while pinned down by a RM/RFP? I cannot help there - if I was active and leading - the player would have been warned or kicked for such an action. My opinion is that the Rheinland lawful leadership should have filed a sanction report for ooRP play and I'd have fined OSI more. 100k to OSI is nothing and in role play would lead OSI to believe they can get away with murder in Rheinland.

Again, remember that Az may be role playing his CEO in a more aggressive/hostile to house manner than previous OSI leaders. This is not bad role play; it is role play. Does it chance damaging OSI in the long run? Perhaps. As I said though - would the role play have sparked as much activity had OSI merely paid the 15m and went about its business? I doubt it. Az's choice to role play his character in such a manner to irk the government's ire produced far more chance for many people to interact. I'd say that is a plus for all invovled (even if OSI may suffer from it).

Again - you say this line of role play with have drastic consequences for OSI. I don't think you fully understand how long OSI has been around nor the scope of role play on the server. OSI has weathered far worse than a petty fine with Rheinland (infact OSI's made Rheinland mad before and look how you're treating them? 100k fine and an initial 15m fine).

Anyways, I'm happy to hear OSI hasn't become a full on power trading faction and that they are creating role play (even if it chances causing harm to their own play).
