That was our request to change Gallic lawful to Liberty lawful reps from hostile. We just wanted to reflect RP on the government level, not a big deal for Gallic Navy either way in practice due to distances between houses, the roleplay didn't come from us - calling the reasoning behind the request out is calling out both Gallic and Liberty Governments - we just played along and wanted to reflect in-game reps with wide-spread player roleplay.
The devs step in and block the smallest admin decisions, and their word is absolute:
This was an attempt to revive the Zurich-Cologne region, to make Zois of both houses overlap.
Quote: objected because the presence of two navies across what is essentially a border crossing is unnecessary, this situation is a little awkward though since Zurich isn't a true buffer system like Cortez is for example. But all the same, I would insist that both gameplay and lore are in sync here, meaning that Rheinland secures Cologne while Gallia secures Zurich. This should once again represent the nature of every House as being stretched too thin to secure every stretch of space at once, let alone all the systems they already lay claim to.
i.e. a dev that never even played or understands the region steps in and singlehandedly blocks a perk request to admins all OFs and Governments agreed on that intends to make the region more alive. They don't even understand the basic mechanics of the game where they think Zoi = "the faction secures the system". Gallia doesn't secure Tau-53, Bretonia doesn't secure Omega-5 etc.
Since the devs have in practice complete veto control over what the admins do when it comes to rephack and zoi player requests and perks this should be the correct place for the feedback actually.
