Warning: Graphic Picture to Make a Point!
Well, Ivan, I appreciate the sentiments. But, those who wish to Zoner bash don't have the same thought process that I do. A lot of my Zoner RP has a bit of RL mixed into it. Most know but for those who don't, I've seen war and it's evils, having fought in one. I walked the streets of Basrah, Iraq, after the Iraqi military gassed it's own people. I saw such images as this in RL:
Someone once asked me, "You are a military veteran. Why is it that you RP and lead a pacifist?" Sights like that in RL, having been in combat myself and killing in the process, I wanted to be something else, a man of peace. This was the way I chose and I built Med Force One.
My idea of living the Zoner way was in part, due to this. Also, I just didn't feel like doing the military thing nor do I have the pirate mindset. Dab said that he could make me have that mindset after a few days. Nice thought, Dab, but forget it. I have the belief that for Zoners to live where they do, they have to give a little to all of their neighbors to co-exist. My mindset is slowly changing to that of which Sprolf once told me, "Neutrality is giving nothing to anyone." So, he hid MF1, he closed Baffin, which was what kept Doc's Outcast neighbors on good terms. Mind you, he didn't do it to piss off everyone, which it has, but to "give nothing."
Oh, and did I say that I know who the two are that posted those bounties? I'll keep it quiet but I couldn't RP with them in the past and I won't push trying now. Gradually, my Zoners will just fade out of existence and everyone will get what they wanted.
