I have a point of order I would like to raise that whilst not directly relating to the recent incident that has been occupying so much bandwidth, is at least associated.
The question to which I would like an answer is that Senor Sephardi seems to have suggested that Independant Corsairs are required to follow the orders of the TBH (in this instance - the main families by default). Is this correct?
I accept that all Corsairs should follow the orders given to them by the Council in the form of an edict, or an Elder of the Corsair Council, but should they follow the orders of a member of one of the military factions?
To my mind if a member of one of the aforesaid factions does not follow an order given to them by a senior officer from within that faction then that is entirely a matter for the Factions to deal with as they see fit. However, as an Independant why should I accept their orders? I will risk my life and my ship when and how I see fit in the defence of my family and friends.
