I could agree that pirating people with your own ID would be bad, but saying they should be pirate ID just because they mostly pirate is a bit meh. It's like saying "We don't want you to use that clause in the ID that allows you to do this, because we think you should do it with that other ID that's not ours". And like Fran pointed out - if somebody bothers to tape the piracy act I'm sure any of the house governments would be happy to FR5 them.
Now that is an actual argument that one can work with. And I can see how this could work. But it still feels weird, especially because not everyone reads Forums and it could greatly damage the reputation of Junkers in general among the indiee players to the point where they would be attacking indie and Congress Junkers for the actions committed by JM.
We are in the Faction Creation Request topic, where I'm trying to discuss the problems with the creation of JM as an official Junker faction. And funny thing is that while I'm doing just that(posing questions and giving arguments) while Fran is only flaming I am the one who gets verbally attacked/told to chill out.
Disco has a way of bringing you back whether you want to or not. So yes, I'm back.
