Zoner Bounty RP

[Gemini893]

I can't even read past page 1 of the whiners trying to justify undoing years of established RP in the name of "I wanna do it no matter what's been done before or how it upsets the balance."

First of all, I'll point out that I've not had a hand in these doings from either side. I wasn't in the server at the time. My views on this are not biased from a victim's point of view at all, simply pointing out obvious things that everyone should already know.

Game Mechanics:

• Bretonians don't go to Omega-49. Period. The Bounty thread tried claiming O-49 as a Bretonian system and it is not. Bretonians go to Dublin to fight Mollys and are too busy with them to explore further. They just don't have any other viable route they'd use. Poole? that's a Guard system that the buccaneers shouldn't have access to.
  
• Buccaneer ZOI is the Tau systems. O-49 is not in the Taus.
  
• Zoners are a LAWFUL faction and, therefore, any bounty placed on them is UNLAWFUL. (The bounty was claimed to be a lawful bounty.) This would be the same as if someone were to place a "lawful" bounty on, say, the LPI because "they have a history of taking bribes and being corrupt." (which they do)
  
• Zoners are not, as much, providing safe havens as they are keeping the peace in their little corner of space. By the way, did you also make a "lawful" bounty on IMG players? They own FP4 and there are missions for Liberty Rogues, among others, on that base.
  

This was nothing short of inventing a shameless reason to gun down defenseless Whales and wreck any semblance of role play for Zoners.
