Zoner vote regarding the actions of the Asgard Warriors

[Dab]

The incidents in Cambridge, which we played a defensive part in only, even attacked as we were defending a neutral trader.. (Our reasons for staying in Cambridge, defending a trader, were apparently "Not acceptable" [their own words], shows how much they care for traders.. Did I mention that said trader was attacked by a GB and SF weren't able to stop him, the 3 AW bombers being the ones killing it?) Those sparked hostile status with SF (Why would we remain neutral after being shot 3 different times?) but not the war.

We then went to California and told BSG to stop shooting HF or we will open fire. Why you have a problem with people giving out threats in a system they don't control I have no idea.. If someone who was neutral to you went and attacked an ally of yours, you would come in and say cease your fire immediately or we will open fire. Thats what we said. Everyone does it.. Why it seems to be weird for you is beyond me..

BSG then turned and shot us, and we returned fire. SF and SA then joined the BSG as we were chasing them and shot us. After that battle, all 4 factions declared war. AW vs SA/SF/BSG. You seem to thin after that we should have stayed neutral. . . Factions ally neutral ones all the time. As I have seen, Rheinland and Bretonia are neutral to each other, but SF and RM are allied.. Heck, SF and SCRA allied for a time. And before that SF allied The Coalition, a pure terrorist organization. I allied someone who was neutral to my host faction. Nothing different from what the SF has done before. Or the SA in their alliance with Planetform. Or other factions.

Elgato hit it right on.. From what I've seen he is just about the only non-AW who actually read what I wrote. That we do not call ourselves Zoners. We work with them for mutual profit. We provide defense and stability they cannot provide themselves, and in return we get bases to use and equipment we can purchase.

Now about you complaining about self-defense turning into hostile actions.. Do you expect me to just sit there with neutrality as you shot not only our allies, but US. Of course we retaliated. Self-defense will only go so far, no matter what the organization is, if you attack them they will retaliate. Heck, if Corsairs got around to attacking Freeport 9 for the biodomes, the Zoners would surely not just sit in Theta. They would fight the Corsairs in Gamma as well. Attack their bases all around Sirius.

We don't do much merc missions anymore, so we have operations on both sides of the law, not just contracts.

We have never said we were here to fully support the Zoners. We provide defense of Theta and thats it. Your right that we have our own agenda. That doesn't mean however, that we are not doing what we said we would do for Zoners. Keep peace in Theta and discourage anyone from attacking them, or causing battles to happen throughout the system

Also, Mercenary ID does NOT fit us even as well as Zoner ID. It also only allows lawful actions, and taking over Theta from Zoners will completely ruin the RP I have been working on for over a year and a half.

I'm not throwing away 1.5 years of Role Playing stories and threads and background because some people think I shouldn't be able to use a tag and say I'm not a true Zoner. Until an admin says otherwise, its staying, and we will stay as a group connected through Zoners via trade and defense agreements.

Our role play for over 1.5 years has shown us as working with the Zoners, protecting the Zoners, and then going off on our own agendas occasionally. Conquering Theta after some Zoenrs leave (Alot are gonna stay.. Its Zoner's main base.) would not fit at all.
