Terrorist ID

[sovereign]

I voted yes to all, but hesitantly;

'terrorist' is sometimes used as a very loose term. Terrorist shouldn't mean 'kill everyone', that's more along the lines of psychopath (such as Mon'Star). Terrorists in the world have specific agendas and targets, and are only prone to killing people in order to fulfill their purpose. For instance, Al-Queda wishes to destroy the corrupt state of the USA; they funnel their resources into A) killing citizens of the US and B) discrediting the US by making them appear responsible (if indirectly) for acts of terror.

I agree that none of the mentioned factions should be killing everyone on sight, only those they have a problem with/were formed to destroy. In the case of FA and LWB, they should definitely destroy all Synth Foods vessels if at all possible with no mention of piracy. However, neither group really has any reason to attack Daumann/Samura, as they support internal companies, somewhat like Xenos in a way. They are not open-ended PvP invitations, they are factions at war with other factions for ideological reasons who might resort to piracy for funding reasons (see descriptions in-game and here about the Bundschuh).

Perhaps we should make sure everyone is clear on what constitutes a 'terrorist' before voting in these polls...

Oh, and thanks for adding this, Zelot; it's nice to have as much feedback as possible when dealing with something this important.
