Admin Notice : Faction Warned

[Zeltak]

... I guess I should have expected people to ignore logic and instead continue with quoting somebody they agree with to continue the verbal ganking... -.-' Anyways... I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and read more than just the first sentence.

You talk about "verbal ganking", seems like you are doing just the same by stating I ignore logic and just continue to verbally "gank" Zoners. That is basically calling me a stupid flamer, so it goes both ways eh? Oh and I won't even comment on the "read more than just the first sentence" part either.

1) A lot of us don't ship paste for the purpose of angry pitchforks flanking both exits from the Omicrons while a locked gate guards the other. But perhaps I misunderstand.

First of all, there is a in-game rumor about this Synth Foods deal with Freeport Biodomes located in various Freeports across Sirius, mentioning how the Zoners and the Synth Foods "profit greatly" by the agreement.

Secondly, even if you would counter this by saying: "Well that is just a rumor, and didn't you just say that it was the Players who formed the primary Role-Play?" Then I would answer like this:

Well, you stated that some Zoner-players don't ship Synth Food products does NOT mean that LWB can caught other Zoner-players that DO ship them, this gives the Zoners in general a bad reputation and may provoke a further investigation on Freeport Biodomes. And this part you can't try to excuse yourself out with what the Zoners ship or do not ship, the Biodomes PRODUCES Synth Food, if the LWB ever find out about that they would immediately cut any relationships with you.

2) Cool. The Hessians can come too. Send caravans full of local pygmies to pick up supplies. We'll have a ball. Just beware of the Freeport locals who will be watching the market from an elevated position with very large guns.

Yes the Hessians may do one or two ransoms... hehe.

3) Well... They really don't have any bases near us. I suppose the Hackers could be their errand boys and send some stuff up from Magellan? Love, the Zoners?

Doesn't really matter, if the Zoners support the Outcast's arch-enemy, the Corsairs more than they support the Outcast it can lead to very unfortunate events in Freeport-9 for example. Perhaps, an Outcast invasion?

This is like two kids fighting over candy. The parents give Kid A more candy than they give to Kid B, so Kid B starts to complain and demand more. Or Kid B might go even further and say he wants more than Kid A for being treated so unjustly.

What happens now? A chain reaction of demands. In order to put an end to the conflict the parents decide to give Kid B more candy than Kid A. Now Kid A gets angry and wants more.

Now replace Kid A with the Corsairs.
Kid B with the Outcasts.
And the parents with the Zoners.

4) Excellent! Viable. If they choose to do so, we'll vaporize them accordingly and then continue on our way. Zoner diplomacy is on an individual basis, be that regarding personages or groups. If X dislikes Y, who eats our bread and X comes to kill Y, Z (us) will assist Y because to not do so would be bad business sense. No lawyer is going to stand up in a court room and say, "Ah, forget it. I've got a family to think about. What would they think if I defended this creep? He's clearly guilty. Proceed. *walk out*"

Well now you clearly stated that if the Mollys attempted to attack Zoners in any way they will get vaporized. Still dosen't mean they will try. Again, Molly put the Zoners to unfriendly/hostile, no problem there aye?

5) I guess. Refer to item Four. As I see it, we deal with things on an individual basis - if somebody wants to come pl0x us, they can. Speaking strictly in a literal sense of course. Some *cough* HEADS UP *cough* would be nice from time to time though.

Factions/groups who also want a part of the Zoner-cake might demand some, what happens then? Maybe other factions demands more. Back to the Kid A and Kid B scenario then...

As they say, you can't satisfy everyone. People are greedy and always want more. You try to fix the problem you instead spawn more.

This is why the Zoners either do NOTHING to ANY faction/group and be neutral.
OR you do SOMETHING to a certain faction/group and deal with the consequences.

That's the way I see it at least. This then goes back to Zoners being a scatter-brained group of individuals who just want to get away from House life. Funny how things come full circle, isn't it? Turned out to be less gank supporting than the eager agreement made it seem. Hooray.

The "Zoners are just a bunch of scatter-brained group of individuals who wants to get away from the House life" is a poor explaination of their current state in THIS time (4.85 era.). Now they don't have some petty Freeports scattered across Sirius along with providing everyone a small safe haven. Now they got Planets, more contracts/agreements with various factions/groups and lastly... a hell alot more vessels and power. This all produces consequences with other people.

Edit: Fixed the Kid A and Kid B scenario, messed up with the letters. Please re-read it if you read my post prior to the edit.
