The NZA and YOU

[DarthBindo]

As for the " Engaging in a friendly, informative, open dialogue (yeah i know what you were thinking there) to do your damnedest to ensure the situation is not merely punished but explained and fixed."
Ask anyone has had involvement in the 74 kerfuffle, that has been tried and tried again.

Openly mocking a faction, it's leaders, and any member within arm's reach is not a bloody friendly dialogue. Doing so repeatedly? Even. less. so.

but when you are trying to discuss things with people who will not compromise, who wilfully ignore ALL standing lore and who demand things that are completely ridiculous and detrimental, it quickly devolves into what we have now.

Refusing to bend to the wills of others is not compromise.
And, pray tell, what is it they demand that the OSI and the TAZ do not take for granted? Please tell me what lore the NZA ignores that any official Zoner faction follows?
Not to mention that by rule 4.2 any guard IFF'ed ship has the right to attack and destroy foreign ships moving through a Guard system, and by common practice they have the assumed responsibility of doing so.

I get the feeling you are clueless on the whole matter.

I get the distinct impression that, despite being in possession of "all the facts", you are indeed very much more clueless than I.

I'd try and run through everything, but at least 1 (or more) of the following things would happen:

1. you ignoring everything i would say
2. Someone from ZA posting in here and raging.
3. ZA QQ'ing to mods to get this thread closed, or "cleaned" of comments which dont portray the ZA in a "good", albeit highly delusional, light.
4. Mods just doing it as part of the conspiracy.
so TL;DR:
Been there, tried that, Doesnt work due to ZA's collective delusions of grandeur. that and flawed and/or lack of game mechanics and rules.

If this is the manner in which you tried to "help" the NZA, It's no wonder it hasn't worked.
In this single post you managed to demean my intelligence, my wisdom, discount my judgement and my experience, and insult alongside myself the entirety of the ZA and the entirety of the moderator staff, in barbed words from a cutting tongue meant for no other purpose than to cause injury, and I? I have responded in kind.
Debate is no place for straw man arguments, tin foil hat conspiracies, ad hominem attacks nor circular reasoning.
I am very much aware of your attempts to help, handing down ultimatums and appealing to authority as if you were Caesar, and you the least aggressive of the lot!
All the others call for blood, gallons of it, for an entire player faction and all of their work to be wiped from the server, and you have the gall to tell me "we try to negotiate"?
They talk in skype channels of the "raeg" they inflict and wish to inflict further upon the ZA and you say, "we tried to be friendly"?
Fie upon you, sirrah.
