Zoner Alliance Faction Feedback [ June ]

the timing of which this lone gunboat decided to gather intel equally suspicious

It's one gunboat. hardly suspicious, yet when traveling to the Omicrons inRP or ooRP makes sense that it is a gunboat, because its a dangerous place. And this War-Zone? It was a NFZ for traders in Omicron 74. Plus, according to the ZA, they set their stations to neutral with most, thus bringing the fighting to a stand still. They claimed neutrality, and as such, so did the Phoenix. Omicron 74 is now supposed to be a neutral system as far as people flying through once more and NOT locked down.

So, War Zone? Show me where it is posted that all the Omicrons are at war with one another. There are posts alluding to a war, but nothing set in stone, and majority take place in 74 not the rest of the Omicrons. Which, 74 is one of the only ways to get into the Omicrons without pissing off Order, Outcasts, or Nom noms. And lastly, the timing? Did you not read what I said? The timing is perfect. The ZA messaged Rheinland, which made the Omicrons of interest or worthy of checking out, when it is brought to their doorstep. Say someone tells you about someone you know who was in a major accident. Do you ignore it and just go off what they say, or do you go online, look at news articles or something to see what is going on, instead of hearsay? If you say the former, you're lying. So why is it so far fetched that it happens inRP.

So again, your argument is invalid. And from what it sounds like, he WAS trying to fly covertly or without uplifting any stones as it were. If they wanted to get involved, don't you think they would've brought in a big-ass force of ships? One gunboat seems perfectly legitimate for RP'ing a scouting mission to obtain information.

Intel is gathered silenty, and I don't think your government should even admit your involvment there

Until that ZA ship shot him, it was silent and covert. Again, it was ONE gunboat! You know how many times one BDM gunboat shows up in Liberty scouting? I don't see any posts about it on the communication channel besides this one, do you? Also, it's not like the Rheinland government proper commed the ZA. It was the intelligence service themselves. Hardly the "government" admitting anything. It was sent to ZA, and included two other groups of Zoners. Again, doesn't seem that public to me. It was between BDM and Zoners.

Hey, since we're a fan of examples and illustrations, lets try this one: Say a spy goes scouting and gets caught. Either A) The government denies involvement. Ok, yeah, could happen. But B), the Government could also covertly enter into discussions with said force holding their agent captive, to negotiate the return. What I am getting at, is that the BDM messaged an encrypted comm to Zoners because of an attack on their vessel that showed NO sign of hostility and was there scouting. Plus, is it that hard to imagine that when the ZA messaged them, they would not send a scout to confirm what the ZA said? So, you message someone, then when they try to validate the message, you attack them. Suspicious? Yes Tel. Very suspicious. Funny how if you are not a fan of the ZA, you are defending them like crazy/calling out others. I could care less, just don't say one thing, and contradict yourself in the same post(s).

Anyway, I am rambling and covering over the same points multiple times. I need a beer after all this.
