Admin Notice : Faction Warned

[DAnvilFan]

After an absurd number of debates, I think that QCP should be granted the right to hunt after Zoners. I don't agree with that line of roleplay, but it's up to the players to make that decision.

As a small sidenote, I would like to point out two things that do bother me about this roleplaying outcome.

1. QCP attack occured as a result of a bounty placed on Zoners. QCP leader Andrew stated that he neither agrees nor disagrees with the bounty, and that he is neutral on the matter. He was attacked by a TAZ ship for breaking Freeport Neutrality (pirating a ship). Since then, the conflict between Zoners and QCP has emerged with the claimed cause being that Zoners supply Corsairs with shelter and allowing mass-murderers of Planet Cork to base off of Gran Canaria. This is a contradicting statement because the real conflict emerged from Andrew being attacked for breaking FNZ.

How does a character that claims to be neutral one day turn around and wage a war on Zoners for protecting Corsairs since they bombed Planet Cork?

2. QCP have had how many months to execute this warfare against Zoners in O-49? The infocards does say that Corsairs were paid by Zoners to protect the system, but in-game wise, an event occured in which Corsairs were asked not to perform such duties. And additionally, in-game Corsairs perform most of their raiding from O-50, which is a minute away from Gran Canaria.

I've highlighted some stuff below:

I cannot give this bounty my backing, gentlemen, being the respected individual that I am.

Of course, I can't condemn it either, seeing as pirates and terrorists pour into Bretonia from Zoner bases.

I would, however, like to point out that the Order are not terrorists, some of their greatest heroes were from Planet Leeds, if my intel is correct.

Regardless, it is true that the Corsairs use Freeport One as a staging ground for theft, murder and terrorism against helpless civilians. The Zoners even protect them when they sit outside or at the bar. Now, I can't claim that's wrong, per se, but I can't see what is right about it.

As it stands, I shant be recommending my men take this job, but I certainly shant order them not to do it either. I can't bring myself to care. I'm very neutral on the issue, if one catches my drift.

Yours,

Andy

So my question is how did this point of view turn into this one (same thread, just next day):

My point exactly, son.

Those that nuked Cork into oblivion should not find safe haven in the homes of anyone.

We don't want to resupply at your bases. We would rather nobody did. You're just out to make a profit from everyone. It ends now, kid. Bretonia doesn't allow those that murder Zoners to dock on her bases, so I think they'd expect the same in turn.

Andrew already admitted that the Zoners protect Corsairs outside of their Freeports (which isn't true, but we'll assume that logic from his point of view), so why did he change his opinion so radically when his ship was attacked by TAZ security?
