Zoner Alliance Faction Feedback [ June ]

[Jinx]

first:

feedback - the most obvious one i can give to ZA

--> you are too easily baited into making a fool out of yourself - on the forum. - many threads and posts are only meant to make you look bad - and on many occasions i could not help but think "ooh, please, do not respond to that one - this is so obviously just meant to bait you into "bad zoners" stance"

disco is full of ppl who jump the bandwaggons - and one of the bandwaggons is that your faction is currently the scapegoat for "everything bad with zoners" - a reputation that is hard to loose. - it ll take time and efford - and most of it will be unjust and probably undeserved.


second:

i am not sure if FR2 applies. - an official faction can only force indies to do when what they ask for is fully within canon

it is not canon for zoners to obey laws. - especially not laws made at gunpoint by allies. - but it might be zonerish to say "if you wish to" - then turn around and hire some hunters to take out the idiot who threatened them at gunpoint.

we have a precident where an official faction ( funny - it was the order - but rather BS| back then i think ) tried to enforce their RP on indies. it was said that it was not canon - and they got slapped ( or kindly asked not to continue ).




solution - suggesstion:

CLEAR borderlines... - phoenix wants to own 74 or at least key installations. - but they do not own 74 - so they do not have more rights than you have in that respect.
last i have seen - OSI claims corinth and fp15 - for whatever reason, phoenix claims livadia. no one cares for sparta.

you might be the bigger men - and move. - there is plenty of room in delta - also some interesting places there. - you might establish your little "region" there. - there is an alien, non DK station coming, there is the comm array that is used by FP11, there is a nice little planet that could use an orbital station etc etc. it is also still in the omicrons. - and you don t run into phoenix so much.

let them sit in 74 - it is just a system - and its ugly and green, too. although personally i like JH blocking battlestations - they do cause more trouble than they are worth. ( so i would not recommend building a station at a jumphole at all - unless you have clear enemies that come through - if you do not have, you ll soon have )

there is also room in the tau region - i guess.. i have no idea who RPs governing fp10 - but whoever it is - there is not much visible RP about it. - there are also the sigmas ... a station in cooperation with the GMG might not be a bad thing either. the GMG is quite powerful - and they can be good allies. ( also a nice RP faction )

so if you got into a cul de sac with phoenix and 74 ... is it really worth fighing for a worthless system anymore?

unless you have having fun with phoenix and the order. - but if its rather a chore - let them play on their turf - and move out of their way a little - it might be worth it - a literal new beginning.



edit:

on an encouraging note

personally - i do not think you act non-zonerish. - you also do not act outside the canon - but you do act outside what the community wants zoners to be like - which is something different of course. - zoners who do not want trouble - act as the community wants ( no matter if its inRP or not ) - zoners who do not submit to that - are usually called ooRP and bad - its been like that for years. ( btw. not only zoners - that applies to every other faction )
