Admin Notice : Faction Warned

[bluntpencil2001]

When you don't give the Zoners an acceptable deal that they can actually take without getting themselves in further trouble with other factions, you're gearing the negotiations to fail. You make accusations of metagaming, but that's exactly what you are doing when you give them something they have no choice but to decline and then say you'll go back to hostile status if they don't accept it. And that's an OOC threat, not in in-RP one.

The QCP were made with the single purpose of disrupting Kusari's trade. In all seriousness, Omega-49 should be considered out of your ZoI and sanctionable via the rules, just as a Hessian would be sanctioned if it were pirating in Kyushu.. I've had countless discussions with you on Skype, and I know your vendetta against the Zoners, even if you refuse to acknowledge it to others.. Or yourself. But this should not be affecting a faction's in-RP activities to the point where you are no longer fulfilling your faction's in-RP goals.

Yes.. Zoners allow Corsairs in Omega-49. Just as Bretonia allows Outcasts in Bretonia.. Is Liberty jumping all over you? No.. It's not in their space, they don't care.. So why exactly does a group of privateers dedicated to interdicting Kusari commerce care what happens in Omega-49, which is on the opposite side of Bretonia from their interdiction operations.. And why would they stop going after their war enemy to shoot a few civilians that aren't harming Bretonia?

They were formed to interdict any hostile trade. And Outcasts aren't allowed in Bretonia.

The Privateer ID allows Omegas, and Planet Gran Canaria's infocard specifically mentions a growing Bretonian presence.

The Privateers are making a point, which people seem to be missing.

We made demands. Instead of negotiating to what we really wanted, the Zoners simply said 'no'. I was sitting waiting for a diluted proposal sent back to me, but got an utter rejection instread.

In negotiations you have to give the other side something they want. We offered something, namely not killing any more Juggernauts, and a reduction in our chaotic Omega operations (hail Eris). We were offered nothing in return.
