Zoner whales.

[n00bl3t]

Yawn. Maybe now the anti-zoner agenda will ebb.

Hopefully.

Zoners are people who hate the houses. They leave them and live on the edge.
They don't go back to house space.

Or at least shouldn't.

Open-minded view.

The reason for the zoner guard change is:

The zoner guard and the zoner whale were used mostly by power traders who did no role play at all and ended up causing trouble for the people who wanted to role play zoners. A significant majority (but not everybody) of the zoner council support this decision.

Alternative options:
- reduce the zoner whale cargo to say 3800.
- prohibit zoner guards from entering house space at all.

As Blunt says, zoners in canon Freelancer don't spend much time in house space - they left house space to get away from it. Regular zoners might spend some time in house space but zoner guards (the hardcore zoners) don't.

The difference between Zoners and Zoner Guards is nothing. Especially for Zoner Guard traders. The Guard system was not invented so much as to advance role-play but to stop certain people from getting the biggest Zoner ship to power-trade in and stop them from getting capital ships. (Which failed, and I guarantee will fail in some part again.)

The vote, as I remember it, was pretty close. Definitely not conclusive. On that note, the CoZ is, at the moment, as defunct as anything.

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.
