Thank you ... Indies have the right to their own 3 of our choosing.
' Wrote:The Indies get to choose themselves. Why would anyone choose an Indie that will vote Bs| for the sake of voting Bs|? The solution is simple. If Tenacity doesn't represent the Indies properly, don't pick him. I'd suggest picking cool, level-headed indies that aren't likely to let themselves get crushed by a Bs| voting block.
Yes ... Indies should pick their own.

Don't think anybody has actually called you a Bs| pet here ... BUT ... I will say this. You DO hold rank given to you by Bs| and have not yet denounced that rank. You have carried your weight about and shoved it down others' throats. I have serious issues with someone carrying such high rank within a system-owning faction and them NOT being an actual faction member. You've chosen (admitted by yourself) to NOT be a member of Bs| because you did not want to go through the promotion process of a faction ... and to avoid having to work your way up the chain to gain your capship. And now ... here you are ... one of the top ranking members of Bs| and yet NOT a faction member. So yes ... you are part of Bs| and no longer an Indie. You're just a Bs| that does not bear the Bs| tag. You're the only person I know that has been able to attain such high rank and dictate to others what is appropriate role play and NOT be an actual faction member.
Having said all this ... Tenacity is no longer qualified IMHO to be considered for one of the 3 Indie positions on the council. At least not unless he denounces his rank within Bs| and humbles himself to be like any other Indie.
FYI ... my Indie Order character is Marcus Cromwell ... an Order research vessel.
