Corsair - Zoner

[DAnvilFan]

If we want to look at the infocards and rumours and lore, how about that Zoner bartender who's completely scared for his life after simply telling a freelancer the general direction of the Gamma hole?

Congratulations. You found an infocard.

How about Dennis Porter, who loves knocking out teeth in brawl fights? Or how about Perry Crawford, the former member of the BAF who became the defense commander on Freeport 10? Or the fact that Freeport 10 continuously fought against Outcasts and did not surrender? Or how about Freeport 2 kicking out all Unioners out of the station?

In any case, what does this has to do with the subject of unification vs. total seperation?

The Zoners have failed to roleplay their unity for a very very long time, and so we are here, having developed past that.

They haven't failed at roleplaying unity. They failed at roleplaying. And the reason for that is because this "developed past unity" bit you're talking about was fueled by players getting pissed off at each other.

Shall we encourage canonizing Roleplay based on players getting into a pissing contest? Think about the example this sets for everyone.

I fail to see how TAZ recognizing Theta screws over neutrality any more than FP1 recognizing O-3 as Bretonian territory, or Ames recognizing Kepler as shared between Liberty and Kusari.
Please explain.

My pleasure.

To be neutral is to be indifferent. Recognizing a nation's sovereignty over a borderworld system isn't neutral. It's called picking sides. Those examples you've mentioned also fly in the face of neutrality. Just because you haven't seen a ruckus, doesn't mean that it won't happen in the future and it definitely doesn't mean that somebody is neutral merely because no ruckus is happening.
