Queen Carina's Privateers

[bluntpencil2001]

Basically, we made ridiculous demands, expecting to get less than half of them. We'd get what we really wanted, and the Zoners would save face publicly. At least, that's what we expected.

It would be sort of like the Libyans when they pretended to be developing nuclear weapons, just so the West could score a PR coup by having them dismantle their non-existent WMD project in order to be accepted into the fold as no longer being a rogue state. Everyone wins.

Whether we are the Libyans or the West is, of course, a matter of opinion.

I believe that we are being punished because we were told, ooRP by the admins, to compromise in our RP. The Zoners were told to compromise too in the same notice. We did compromise, much more than I would have liked to. The Zoners did not, but have not been forced to by the admins, in spite of being told to.
