Hello! It came to my attention via another member of staff that the team had decided that a 500 million credit fine towards Auxesia was 'excessive' in light of their actions that include violating a peace treaty (again) by flying in the house without permission, smuggling contraband through the house, and then assaulting law enforcement when caught. This is on top of a few previous incidents over the last year or two, some documented, others let slide. So, as a punishment, and at the risk of a political falling out if refused, Auxesia was given the option of a hefty fine to avoid any legitimate problems with Liberty. Obviously this is harsh. It's to be noted that original suggestion was 250, and it was myself who suggested 500.
So, according to this staff member, not only is it unacceptable (disregarding pirates demanding hundreds of millions from PoBs), they say the team was actually considering pursuing further action against it.
Firstly, did no one consider contacting the LibGov forum account to discuss this? Secondly, is staff not aware of who leads Liberty factions, and is somehow unable to contact said players, despite several having a direct, open DM with one (me) on discord? Thirdly, why is 500 million considered excessive, but the forceful, complete barring from a house with an FR5 not excessive?
Would you mind explaining this to myself (and perhaps others) so it would seem less arbitrary, and perhaps not a kneejerk reaction to what is a very legitimate case of a fringe political group already walking on extremely thin ice just deciding to jump on said ice by attacking law enforcement?
Or is asking for transparency like what was one of the rallying cries against Durandal too much?
