' Wrote:First of all, to the one who was implying Liberty helping against Zoners, that would not really happen.
Liberty is more than busy enough with Rheinland, which is precisely the reason why I believe that war started, so the Kusari - Bretonia one would stay balanced.
And I can say with safety that if the Zoners would go to all out war with Bretonia, it would not bode that well for Bretonia, because that'd mean they'd have to move forces from the Kusari and Colonial Remnant fronts, which'd in turn make them lose more ground.
How would anyone, even a house, defend from Kusari, Colonial Remnant, Zoners and Corsairs? No way, that's how.
Bretonia knows this and that is why it wishes not to shun away the QCP completely, because they help with Kusari, but cannot acknowledge them publically because then the Zoners would get pissed off beyond measure.
So Bretonia's doing a dishonorable thing, but one that makes sense in RP, and I don't blame them.
I don't blame the Zoners either.
And I don't blame the QCP either, if they want to make political suicide and act like their brain circuits are fried, who am I to stop them?
Everything can be RPed out, and while I am really on the Zoners' side, I don't find any side too much on the 'wrong' here.
Thanks to refrencing me as the "one" I always suspected it was true :D
Your right everything can be RP'd out, frankly I am on neither side. Although I note you are, my implication that Zoner's attacking Bretonia may cause Liberty/Zoner friction seems pretty solid in RP. The Rhienland/Liberty conflict is at best a stalemate at this time where as the Bretonians are in RP losing ground to Kusari. What we are talking about here though is Houses, large groups of systems with Densely populated planets and huge resources.
Liberty is currently in combat with Rhienland, HF, XA, LR, endless indies etc etc with Liberty surviving. You mention many Bretonian enemies, but it's not the amount of enemies but there ability to wage large scale war against a house. Of the enemies you mention only Kusari in RP has been able to take ground from Bretonia, next strongest would be the Corsair nation who have taken no ground although they are a large threat, their not capable of winning a war against a house, I'm talking about in RP here not number of player chars.
I don't really agree with this statement "How would anyone, even a house, defend from Kusari, Colonial Remnant, Zoners and Corsairs? No way, that's how." Due to Bretonia having millions if not a billion of inhabitants, only Kusari is a true threat, the others are thorns in the side.
