LPI and their RP

[collins]

I am not part of LPI for long, but let me give you my personal point of view on this.

For the most part I do not understand the upcry caused by Zapp's announcement. I suppose that
1) it was not all understood plus
2) there still is an interst in the community for LPI as a faction.

ad 1) I think it has been clarified enough by now.
ad 2) that would be good.

Just for those who still would like to argue:
LP Incorporated is a private corporation that delivers a public service (just like any privately run hospital or security service group). LPI is not a non-profit organization, so the management has to do everything to raise profits and also to enhance the public image of LPI. Corruption is bad for the LPI image and it may reduce LPI profits, so if there is an issue with corruption, it needs to be adressed.

Also, it would never be in the economic interest of LPI to sell prisoners as slaves (looking at the ridiculous market price) as long as there is enough place in LPI prisons and work for the prisoners to do. Also it has been elaborated enough that there is not enough supply in the prisons to fulfill market demand.
Slaves being sold at an LPI facility would indicate at least that the facility houses a thriving slave market that is tolerated or operated by LPI. This definitively does not fit my understanding of LPI RP. So the wish to have this slave market moved away from the LPI facility is a valid concern. In my opinion it should be moved to a place that does at least not suggest that prisoners are sold as slaves. Best would be a non-LPI base.

Battleship commander: Oh, thank you, that's a fighter pilot's proposal. I'm into heavy ordnance, and I have the choice of weapons. If I go, I shall take my battleship. And there shall be no mistake about the ammunition this time.
