[Official Event] Op SARTORIAL

[IahimD]

If both of you would be willing to interact with my points and not just use them to build your own strawmen, that'd be awesome.

* There is no RP centered around that goal / idea

-> What people roleplay is not the total sum of a faction's actions. If your take on the situation is that Kusari is preparing for a war without building it's forces in the background, simply because nobody is Roleplaying said preparations... Well, that's your take.

* There is no practicable need for Avionics for Kusari

-> Linked to the above: the fact that people are not actively roleplaying this does NOT mean that the shipyards in Kusari don't actively need them.

Also...using barges isn't shady, sneaky, or underhanded.

-> Perfect, people can RolePlay around this. Have LSF investigate. Take statements from people present in Galileo and in Colorado. There are plenty of avenues people can take inRP if they'd want to do it.

This event was entirely designed to work the way it does to avoid having outside suppliers do exactly what you're describing, because we'd seen previous events have this be an issue. Its the entire reason the supplier list was limited in the first place.

-> Spell it out in the event description. Talk to PoB owners so that the man-in-the-middle approach simply does not yield any profit. I suggested this multiple times in this thread. I did not violate the supplier list being limited in any way. I just took advantage of the sell/buy prices of existing PoBs. Something that is PLAYER controlled, so interact with PLAYERS if you don't like it, instead of yelling "ooRP", "ooRP".

As the person that owns the ALG POB in Galileo, I can assure you that said base has not been used to repackage any Avionics, and that anyone that's been undocking ALG ships from the base to do so has not been doing any RP regarding it.

-> Can you go back to what I said and say in your words why I brought up the ALG modular station in Galileo? I brought it up as an exemple that ALG knows about what's going on. And then I argued that ALG meets the profile of people that would play the middle men if the profits were right. This is to say, I never stated that the ALG PoB is repackaging Avionics.
