Mind you, the following is quite a serious chat (but don't worry there are moments of humor in it).

[21:39:42] Cross: If the leaders of the Zoner military abused their power that is something different
[21:40:01] Cross: but if the Zoner military only defended its people neutrality, it serves its purpose
[21:40:19] Cross: Sow fear into anyone and everyone so they won't force us to break our neutrality
[21:41:31] Jan Herzog / Reisiger / OSI CEO: Always remember... have a Plan B.
[21:41:32] Jan Herzog / Reisiger / OSI CEO: http://www.deepsonic.ch/deep/pix_energy/pl..._wake_me_up.jpg
[21:41:34] Jan Herzog / Reisiger / OSI CEO::D
[21:42:01] Cross: Anyone claiming that a Zoner military forces us to not be neutral, those are the ones that simply want Zoners to remain push overs that can be abused. Which is OORP for Zoners
[21:42:40] Jan Herzog / Reisiger / OSI CEO: We've so far successfully enforced some NFZ violator punishment... altho all on lolboats...
[21:43:09] Jan Herzog / Reisiger / OSI CEO: But the reaction was more like "Uh? They actually fight for the NFZ?"
[21:43:41] Jan Herzog / Reisiger / OSI CEO: Not "WTF?!?111 Zoners f1ght1ng... Neutral1ty gonez!!111
[21:43:54] Jan Herzog / Reisiger / OSI CEO: Err... you get my drift (angel)
[21:48:28] Cross: Aye
[21:48:48] Cross: That is my problem with most people who don't want a Zoner military
[21:48:59] Cross: They assume it will be used aggresively
[21:49:11] Cross: (which wouldn't be neutral.)
[21:49:41] Jan Herzog / Reisiger / OSI CEO: And which it will... break the NFZ and you get... FLOWERS! O_o
[21:49:43] Cross: They couldn't fathom that it would actually be neutral just like the people that make it up
[21:50:19] Cross: Bascially it boils down to what your view on Zoners is
[21:50:37] Cross: Some think we are neutral pacifists
[21:50:55] Cross: Others think we are neutral and should have a way to protect ourselves
[21:50:59] Jan Herzog / Reisiger / OSI CEO: We don't start a fight... we end it... with antimatter!
[21:51:46] Cross: That thought is supported by infocards too. 'Zoners felt they coudl defend themselves from Sairs/Casts so traded with both sides' or something like that
[21:51:52] Jan Herzog / Reisiger / OSI CEO: Well... on a serious note... there will be some... zoner-bashers trying to move the ZDF into... weird situations
[21:52:03] Cross: Of course
[21:53:43] Cross: I will agree that if people respected our neutrality regardless of if we had a military or not; there wouldn't be a need for it. But that isn't the case; the Sairs have made it clear they don't respect our neutrality unless we can enforce it.
[21:53:49] Cross: ala that OORP thread by Ivan
[21:54:14] Jan Herzog / Reisiger / OSI CEO: And Grimly is itching once more for pew pew...
[21:54:34] Cross: At least he was honest
[21:54:59] Cross: 'i intended to pirate your people, prepare for tension'
[21:55:50] Cross: thing he forgets is, we can only defend ourselves unless the entire Zoner community tells us to hunt his group
[21:56:25] Shabinaf/Lindburger: sorry to interrupt
[21:56:30] Cross: He will only hurt himself if it pushes it that far
[21:56:37] Shabinaf/Lindburger: But I'm get an itch to post all this in ICHS
[21:56:47] Cross: ichs?
[21:56:49] Shabinaf/Lindburger: because while Cross is making a very serious speech
[21:57:00] Shabinaf/Lindburger: Reis is ruining the moment wonderfully:D
[21:57:06] Cross: not very serious
[21:57:07] Jan Herzog / Reisiger / OSI CEO: (angel)
[21:57:14] Shabinaf/Lindburger: compared to Reis it is lol
[21:57:16] Cross: just wording my thoughts
[21:57:27] Cross: anything compared to Reis is serious =p
[21:57:30] Shabinaf/Lindburger: heh
