Strange politics

[Guyton]

The Gas Miners Guild has proven on many occasions it conducts its business for self interest. Proof of this is its past history dealing with the Corsairs and its Artifacts. The GMG actually shipped artifacts into the houses making profit. Well the Corsairs became a little greedy and began to double cross the Gas Miners Guild on artifact shipments, thus the guild declared them hostiles. Shocked? Another example of this would be its secret under the table allliance with Blood Dragons. Why does it aid the Blood Dragons? Because Kusari is corrupted? No ladies and gentlemen! that is not the answer. The guild funds and trains blood dragons to strike back at Samura for urging Kusari to make war taxes during the 80 Years War.

Note: The 80 Years War happened over 200 years ago.

Now as present time continues with players in discovery new history is written. The recent Corsair attack in Sigma-13 ( http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18383 ) caused the Gas Miners Guild to retaliate ( http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18399 ) . How does the guild has this month strength to reach this far? Well in player constructed background of the guilds present time. It has turned to its allies for joint military cooperation and training, mainly from the IMG seeing as the Zoners have a complete economic alliance with the GMG.

Continueing. The guild though really beyond its elder strength in younger times against Rheinland, has not the strength to battle against both Outcasts and Corsairs. Best decision for survival? With the recent cease-fire/if its our concern for security we may help. The GMG is asking the enemy near home's armada to "Hold your fire, we can't hold both of you and we face a common threat" . Is this asking for an alliance because we declare a cease fire? NO.

Your profiting off of cardamine shipments? Why not its passing through our system often and we require a benefit for transports risking mining operations. We did artifacts now we are having transporters pay us a fee to traffic safely.

How does it effect our relationship with the Kusari Naval Forces and Kishiro? Really, when did they know about it? From what is going on currently they don't have a clue we are funding blood dragons. How could they possibley know about our business in the Sigmas and Omicrons? Well they wouldn't would they? In fact its been a long time since we have seen a visit from our kusarian brothers. Kusari loves its monopoly on H-fuel, and if they become hostile with GMG where will they get it? Take it by force! Rheinland tried it, and they became the example.

GMG on self interest? self preservation? or are half of them baked up on Artifacts and Cardamine! I'm not sure now adays they have been seen talking to machines(harvesters) and Rheinland rebles(VF).
