Good good! Now we've got some juices flowing! I'll be happy to bring the marshmallows.. you've earned them.
You're absolutely right, Michael. We fabricated the deal as a way to sell the corsairs more food.
Ok.. given your paradigm of an exchange, (your access to Bretonia for your protection of Zoner interests) instead of a "contract" or "deal", I don't think anyone is suggesting that your right of passage or access be removed.
And I retract the example of the SCRA as something akin to your own sitiuation. Merely trying to point out that in some situations roleplay can shape "history", and changes can and are made contrary to "canon".
We have that opportunity. I hope the discussion continues to our mutual benefit.
