Well we do see eye-to-eye on what we would prefer Zoners to be, but when they can build 2 lines of cruisers and 2 lines of battleships in 20 years, who knows what other rabbits they can pull out of the hat? And they are unaccountable in the sense that they lore-wise are independent from one another, although their mammoth production feet certainly suggests otherwise. I mean a certain Zoner pride must arise from that feat, a certain feeling of being invincible or a feeling of succeeding against all the odds - that would be a fair premise for a militaristic megalomaniac group to arise. I'd be confused regarding the scope of my strength if I was a Zoner too, and perhaps overreach.
However ZA can say whatever they want to say. There once was a lonely pirate called Rorry who called himself King of Sigma-13, he didn't have any lore to back that claim either.
One thing you do say is that you get your opinions on what a Zoner should be based on how you experience other players play their Zoners - if you go back in history, Zoners have been played radically different than TAZ and other groups do these days. I hope you can understand how your MO is flawed? For you to form your opinions on what Zoners are from how people play them would require that you had total knowledge of how Zoners have been played by all players at all times. You should rather just say that you want Zoners to be the way a select group is currently playing them at the server.
