To The zoners.

[Zelot]

To: ALL ZONERS

From: Elder Sephardi



I have finally had it, I am disgusted by the Zoner community at this point. There is absolutely NO consistency to the decisions of the Zoner Council nor the actions of individual zoners, except that you treat Corsairs worse than other faction. Let's look over the last few weeks starting with a Hunter being attacked by an HAF ship. The response was a bounty placed by Ms Tate against the violating ship. Now in all the time I have been associated with the Corsairs, I have never ever ever seen a Zoner take out a bounty against ships attacking Corsairs in the neutral zone. Do you really think Corsairs are not attacked in the zone? The response we get every time a Corsair is attacked is the same, "there is nothing the zoners can do about it" for one reason or another. Well I am no longer going to allow my people to be vulnerable to these attackers based on your Freeports. I am tired or being lectured on manners by clearly rude and uppity Zoners, who so clearly see the Corsairs as brutish and thuggish, while looking at our enemies as urbane and classy. This is nothing new and clearly goes back to the time of the AW. I will stand for it no longer. I have called for a vote in the Elders Council to no longer recognize the Freeport neutrality zone, as it seems no one else recognizes it when it comes to attacking Corsairs. As to Gran Canaria, I would suggest you learn alittle more about the situation. The threat to Gran Canaria was to lift our protection deal. The deal between the Zoners and the Corsairs was that the Corsairs would patrol and defend Gran Canaria. Why should we use our resources to defend people who treat us as second class to the Outcasts and the Bounty Hunters.
