I understand why people are throwing massive hissy fits over this, but to put the argument down like a rabid dog, I'm going to very adamantly say this: The declaration on Tortuga was made with absolutely zero thought of the *MR|.
The Outcasts have twice now sieged a PoB within Tau-44, which is core Crayter space in the eyes of the =CR= mind you. I made that declaration last night in advance if people within =CR= were looking to get some payback for losing yet another PoB to the Outcasts.
If you want to keep pinning this declaration on any 'ooRP bias' or whatnot, you're free to do so. It won't matter if you put it in all caps, underline it, provide links or what, because none of this has anything to do with the *MR|. End of discussion.
