Quote:when hypotetic situation as you type come (OK let's say, Gamma is under attack. I call for help, and a low ranking TBH member stands idly and watches while Corsairs get massacred by a larger force.) you will have not time to punish him because i will be first who destroy him as traitor!!!.
Which makes sense, since he is TBH, and you are a ranking TBH officer, but you wouldn't punish an OPG, and I wouldn't punish a TBH, if an OPG committed a crime, I would expect you to let me know before anything was done, and I would likewise do the same for all TBH.
Quote:and is difference between independent corsair and member of other group.
as member of group or familly you can give orders to corsairs who are not in any group, you have the rights and power for that. thats is why here are this groups or families.
Hmm.. I'm not sure about that.. As members of our respective groups, we command more respect, and reputation but authority over all independent Corsairs does not appeal to me..
Take Ben Laowai for example, he is an independent, and I (and most TBH/Benitez) would never try to make him obey anything, his reputation for being wise and hardworking for the Corsairs, gives him authority.
Any senior Corsair, regardless of faction affiliation holds certain authority, but it is up to the Corsair Council to enforce this authority (where applicable), not for each senior Corsair to assert and enforce their authority (if any).
All I'm saying is, regardless of what happens, nothing drastic should be done without at least a small tribunal.
If a faction affiliated pilot commits a crime, then said faction has the right to punish him within their own internal law and authority, but it is wrong for any faction to assert their laws onto an independent or unaffiliated pilot. Only the Council should have such authority I feel...
