AW controlling Omicron Theta

[Hyperwave22]

Okay, so here's what I think needs to happen. In order to help solve these problems, AW needs to CLEARLY state what being closely affiliated with the Zoners means. To me, this means that AW would be allowed to have limited control over Theta, but should not be able to have alliances with the Lane Hacker affiliates. They, if closely related, would have the GMG and Outcasts on their side, but not the Lane Hackers. However, this view varies between people, so, Dab, I think that you need to tell us EXACTLY what closely affiliated means; this includes answering every single question about it until it is about 85% conceded between the community.

I believe that AW should control this system because of a problem I experienced a while back in January. We had about five or six SF on, and about five or six Phantoms on. At the time, the general opinion was that a house only controls their system (at least what I was reading from people), and I was afraid of limited Jurisdiction in Leeds (where the Phantoms were). While I eventually did have the SF move in to attack, the same could happen with AW. If, say, SF is in Omicron Theta attacking Zoners or traders, I would fully expect them to stop us. However, I don't think that AW should have scanning rights of ships coming through Theta as they are no longer police there.

And I don't think you read your history very well.. We do try to resolve our wars peacefully, then resort to massive force when that fails. A very recent example is when we, instead of demanding SA/SF/sso|/FEAR all to go neutral to HF before we got out of the war, we simple demanded that SF get out of the war. We got in because SF joined in, unbalancing it. So we came in to balance the sides. Once the SA told SF to accept, and they pulled out, so did we.

Also, I would like to point out that preventing war is not based on a "demands" system. Instead, it is based on compromise. Demanding something is the way to lead to war, not prevent it. Finally, AW was the first to attack SF, which I believe was an assault on Leeds...

True, we were still engaging HF forces, but in my opinion, the AW shouldn't have been (or shouldn't be) allied with the HF.
