[Official Event] - Running the Gauntlet [Draw]

[Thyrzul]

The game is called "Freelancer", the mod is called "Discovery Freelancer"..... need I go on? I'll be flying LN colors but if a game which was founded upon the term "Freelancer" doesn't allow freelancer's to participate then why are we all here to begin with?

I remember having to ask Echo to rename Perpignan Freeport to Perpignan Spaceport almost six years ago because some people though... nah, they insisted that they can freely fly around and dock there without any restriction or consequence because of the name, even though it's not a Zoner, but a Council station, the whole system was under primarily Council control, was restricted for security reasons, and a high ranking Council officer was trying to enforce local laws on them. As if the name itself, or its personal, subjective interpretation would overrule anything else.

I did not really like this kind of shallow arguement back then and I still don't like it these days either. The mod's name contains Freelancer because it expands upon the game Freelancer, and the game's name is Freelancer because the single player storyline is centered around a freelancer. This event is not centered around any, it is centered around Bretonia, Liberty, Gallia, Corsairs and the conflict of the two alliances each pair of them forms.

Why are we all here, you ask? For the duration of this event, to play out an important battle of that conflict. I hope that answer satisfies your curiosity, and of anyone else not understanding why there's an apparent dislike of freelancer participation in this event. Anyone is free to set up an indie for participation on either side, it doesn't take too much time or credits either.
