Corsair - Zoner

[Blodo]

Blodo I lost the respect i used to have have for you. I know how you like your beloved hessain, i know how they react when when they see any thread about corsair, i always ignor them as their reply would be as usual hateful and i dont like to exchange thought with them.
We dont have much problem with hessain raid or oc raid or bh raid. But the problem is when we see you are gathering forces near freeport and call others ( i have recived call from hessains in my oc dread several times didnt join though ) like oc, bh and others sometimes zoners. You come in gamma and fight thats no problem but come with bh and reavers all together thats the problem..... And this just keep coming and coming....
Can you send me a picsture where ECG allied with RM as you said? If you have proof pls send.. I will deal with that.

You imply my argument was about bias but it isn't. We didn't gather forces near freeports before this situation started. You will be lying if you say otherwise, it just never happened.
Or rather I should say: we didn't gather forces near freeports before. Now we do, since the Corsairs are threatening them. How about you take a hard long look at how this situation exactly started? If there are two truths flying around then someone is lying. I'm not the one to lie over an ingame situation though, because I really don't see the reason to avoid RP consequences for something I did. For the millionth time: we did not base ourselves out of freeports. Your leaders decide to take the war to the Zoners, and they should expect that when they antagonise them, Corsair enemies will seize on the situation like a fly would seize on the opportunity to sit on a pile of poop. If you expect us to do otherwise then I dunno. I guess I can just say that we won't sit by idly while there is an opportunity to put a dent into our in RP worst enemies.
So really rethink the whole situation again and again before you point fingers in any direction.

Because I am acting according to lore, even if it means upsetting a few players.

Pardon while I revive the dead horse.

A solution suggests that there's a problem, when in fact no problem exists. Players on the server have got it into their minds that the Zoners shouldn't fly under the same banner.

I can agree that no problem exists from the beginning, but there are some people who have created it. The problem didn't exist in vanilla. It exists now due to the players. This is the rationale that I got served after people just could not handle Hessians landing on Freistadt despite the fact that in lore it was actually encouraged. This is just an example, and in no way meaning to derail the thread so don't seize up upon it too much.

The gist of the matter being: assuming the Zoners were reunited again, how would it fix the current issue? The Corsairs are basically demanding that the Zoners FR5 factions hostile to them. If they are demanding anything less, then that means that nothing changes. I think everyone is aware of that. I don't particularly care either way what happens to the Zoner NPC faction, though I do believe splitting it up would allow regional diplomacy to commence. The different NPC factions would still all be called Zoners so it would be up to the players to either work together or not.

But if you think there is a better solution to the problem that has been created by the players that does not involve like three different factions declaring war (or something close to it) on the Zoners due to the Zoners openly allying themselves with Corsairs - which is exactly how it is going to look like if the Zoners adopt a Corsair controlled policy for their Freeports Sirius wide (and Sirius wide is the only option without splitting up the NPC faction if you ever want to enforce it in any way) - then go on.
