Zoner Alliance Faction Feedback [ June ]

[Potter Harry]

Doj, what's your inRp/Oorp reasons for helping these guys (no threat, I just don't know your characters and I'm just curious and I'd be happy if you filled me in PM-wise)? You've been seen shooting at quite a lot of people in the Omicron 74 zone. The fact that there are a lot of groups (official and un) participating on the anti-ZA side absolutely does not mean we're guilty of metagaming or deliberately seeking a conflict for anti-Rp reasons. The Rp is always stated, both ingame and out, on the com channel and elsewhere both by the ZA and none-ZA sides. Remember, this isn't about loads of groups ganging up on an unofficial. Consider the Consensian and Solar participation over that one.

Plus please don't accuse us of Oorp hate? It's already a struggle keeping this Inrp, otherwise we can do some of this in flood. That goes to any anti-ZA people too.

In RP reasons depend on the character. It can really be anything; from being a Zoner sympathetic to the ZA or a Corsair looking to sparkle a war with the Order and other Zoners in order to have an excuse to start conquering neighbouring systems for their own benefit, in the long run. The in RP reason doesn't really matter, in the end, as long as I'm not breaking rules, and as long as my OORP reasons aren't based around grudges, because then the RP reasons are more likely to simply be a cover-up for your grieving intentions.

As for OORP, groups that were used as scapegoats and outlet for other people's apparent anger have been around Discovery for a pretty long while. In fact, at some point, it were the Phoenix Zoners (back then known as the Omicrons, and even further in the past known as the Zoner Trade Consortium) who were at the receiving end of everyone's guns at some point. In the end, there wasn't much reason why everyone suddenly started hating on them, making it seem like everyone just jumped on the bandwagon because they had nothing better to do. It looks a lot like the same thing happening here, with impossible numbers attacking them, and that's why I lend my aid to them. If anything, it's to make it a bit more even numbered.

For example, I don't see why the Corsairs declared war on the ZA. They even stated it's none of their business, and the ZA aren't actually doing anything to the Corsairs either. What about Solar Runners, whom I only ever see operating in the Taus, then suddenly have a whole fleet in Omicron 74 to help against the Zoner Alliance?

You've been seen shooting at quite a lot of people in the Omicron 74 zone.

What do you even base this on? Do note that I've received a lot of screenshots/statements from people telling me they were accused of being me by the Console (didn't you have better things to do than to start a witch hunt, Hawk?), while most of the time I'm as far as can be from Omicron 74. I only actually set foot in O74 2-3 times since the conflict started, once on <ZA>Super_Zonr and the other times being a bit more recent.
