Zoner Council Restructuring

[SigCorps]

Considering participation in the COZ has always been voluntary, as is pointed out by many of the delegates. I wonder how you can dictate anything. The SHILZ was started by Mal and I am unsure if at the time he was the Chairperson or not, but it was discussed with the COZ, in their private communications channel. All zoners clamored about the abuse of our technology and Mal presented an idea and presented it and all was good. SO he made it so. You claim the SHILZ was over stepping its bounds and yet you also were ready to move those boundries yourself. The SHIZL never over ruled the council. Never even really tried, until you made this statement.

Trogdor, if I'm correct you aren't the individual, or individuals in fact, that Mr. Duke was referring to. So please don't increase tensions or cause arguments here.

And to what Mr. Duke said, we in the SHIZL are already making plans on what to do with the aforementions individuals harming the Council. That issue will be dealt with immediately after the election of the next chairperson, and that election will be held immediately after this vote.

This from the minutes of the Council. I have no issue with keeping the SHIZL in the bounds of it's original intentions but to say we were forming..what did you call it, an Oligarchy, when you yourself were part of it, and assisting it in pushing it's boundaries, is a bit hypocritical.

Our factions decided to pull out of the COZ because of the direction it was heading. Since participation was voluntary and following the COZ's rule is also, the COZ does not have any say over what we do. Now if your stating that NOW the COZ is going to enfource it's rule and force those zoners who do not want to follow it to do so, then you are starting something that is contrary to all that is Zoner. We never said we were cutting ourselves off from the rest of zoners. Nor that we would not assist the council. We just wanted to forge our own path. You can not force us to join you, nor obey your new organization, just as we can not force those who do not want listen to us. I am unsure where you got this idea?

How can a faction justify the thievery of Zoner territory to claim as their own?

We claim nothing as "our own". Do we have areas that concern us? Our bases of operation? Can we not decide how we wish to conduct business in regards to those area. As long as it does not affect anyone else. You seem to assume that we factions are our to destroy the COZ and it's members. Not sure where you came up with that idea, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Do as you will, as is your right, and we will proceed as we will, as is ours. We will be happy to work with your new council, as were were happy to work with the old. But we will not be ruled by it. If it's beliefs or goals run contrary to ours, then we will go in our own direction.
