Ouch, did I hit a nerve? Lighten up. Sure Core isn't special I guess (it has a special place in my heart of course <3), but Zoners aren't either. Especially when in the company of stronger groups in the Edge Worlds. If we want to enforce our laws, we will. It's your choice if you want to agree to them or not. But if you don't want to end up exploding, then obey.
If we don't want to obey Zoner laws then that's our choice. But I dare you try and make us the ones exploding at the end of the encounter.
