' Wrote:First off, I'm laughing my head off at this thread. The mod is crafted to create a system very close to Sigma-13 in nature, and all hell breaks loose. Jien, if your only basis for wanting Okinawa under Kusari control is that it would be a beneficial thing, then you might as well bitch at us for control of Sigma-13 too. You say this:
Yet the same exact thing is the case with Sigma-13. Do you patrol Sigma-13? No, the GMG handles security there very well, and that helps the KNF. Quite honestly, you're handling this in a way that makes next to no sense within RP, and all stemmed off of LoTek saying "Afaik Okinawa is Kusari.", and you saying "Yeah, it's ours, nubs.".
As has been said over and over, you're at war, you get your fuel from us, Kishiro gets income from us. The GMG and Kusari are not allies, but we are partners. We help you, you help us. Hell, us keeping Sigma-13 under control helps you, since if we weren't handling pirates there, guess what you would have to do? Fight off Outcasts and Corsairs from another side. The same thing goes for Okinawa, yet suddenly you think that doing your own patrols is the best idea. Really? You're hilarious, bud.
Summed up: Kusari and the GMG have a partnership. We seldom aid each other in combat unless completely necessary, but we benefit from each other. That means you don't stomp around being a "royal" ass for whatever reason you might have told yourself and the KNF to justify it. Go for it if you want, but in the end the GMG isn't going to roll over and say "Okay, it's yours.". If you're so set on this, go ahead and send patrols into Okinawa all you want, just don't whine when they don't come back.
The situation is in your hands. Listen to the blaring RP and nurture the relationship that has been common sense since Vanilla, or create an ooRP war. Your choice, really.
Your whole argument makes you look like a fool. The KNF have every legal right to go into Sigma 13 or 19, or 17 for that matter. Just because we dont do it often doesnt mean we are not allowed. If you had actually read my argument, you might see that they are based in reality.
1) Okinawa is the best connection between two parts of Kusari, to expect that Kusari forces will accept not being allowed to go there, you know nothing about real world international relations.
2) The Proximity of the system and connections to planet Honshu, make it a very real security risk to the trade and bases in Honshu, Kusari space. The Pakistani government has been reluctant to allow US forces to operation in Pakistan to stem the flow of insurgents into Afghanistan as well as to take out cells based in Pakistan. Pakistan is sovereign, by the US still went in, without consulting the Pakistani Government and attacked those cells. Southern Lebanon is sovereign, hasnt stopped Israeli forces from going into that territory to take out Hezbulla forces. The same situation happens all over the world, and throughout history.
3) This FORCES Kusari to depend on the GMG to defend its border instead of being able to do it themselves. That is not a situation any government wants to be in.
4)Kusari gets fuel from the GMG and Samura, and would prefer to get it from Samura as to nurture it's own companies instead of outsiders.
5)The GMG have shown no willingness to work with Kusari on anything in a long time.
Why would Kusari go out of its way to support a project with all of that said. You can call me an ass all you want, and complain that my rp doesnt make sense, but those who are involved on my side support my comments, so it's not just me.
