Politics and Role Play

[Jihadjoe]

Your truth is in your own head. Junker are not just scrap heap tenders. We are smugglers, business men, scientists, the list goes on and on. Please don't try to shove us all in a forced RP of scrap herders.

I wholeheartedly agree, The Junkers are businessmen, and scientists etc.

We are not trying to start a war. If anyone is its you.

Actually, we are trying to protect our profits. Most criminal organisations and smuggling rings work based on bribery, violence and threats.
The OUtcasts have attempted diplomatic contact, you appear to have missed this.

Hogasha are not the Junkers #1 enemy. They hate us. Most Junkers see hogosha as an annoyance. I have never even seen one. Also we do not despise corsairs you do. I have no idea where you go this from.

Hogosha and bounty hunters are the only real enemies for the Junkers. also, it states very clearly in the infocard for junkers that they carefully maintain neutrality in the Corsair/Outcast war. To maintian nuetrality you don't show favouritism. The Outcasts have supplied you with an extremely profitable source of drugs for many years, then the Junkers employ a Corsair. The Outcasts respect the neutral stance and don't push the junkers to take a side in the war, however you -still- do something that would enrage any Outcast. Please answer this comment. Does this, or does this not, show favouritism? Motive or not, this -is- favouritism.

As far as firepower heh if you only knew. Part of the reason people were against the congress was they didn't want Junkers to have any power. I see that train of though continues. Well its too late now. We will not be destroyed by any faction except maybe the nomads if they get mad enough. The criminals of Sirius need us. Now you guys don't RP it that way but that is how the lore of freelancer was built.

Infact we are RPing it that way, we are so concerned that there is a Corsair who could cut our profits (especialy into Rhienland) being employed by an apparently neutral party, that we have found ourselves deserately resorting to threats after our calm diplomatic messages were ignored. We have stepped up the pressure.

Please, please, please stop telling us how to play Junkers. We don't tell you how to play outcasts.

Starting to see the arrogance yet JihadJoe?

And for the record Cesar is not happy about a non Junker running out base. But he will defend other Junker from any aggressor.

I have at no point attempted to tell you how to roleplay, we have been discussing in an ooc way, the roleplay that is going on. You have assumed that our anger in character is somehow reflected by anger ooc. You're wrong. Its not.

I see no uniform arrogance Culebra. Remember, as you said, the truth is in your head, you see arrogance? well for you its true then. I don't, thus for me it's offensive for you to label -all- outcast players as such.

And Kudos to Cesar.
