Corsair - Zoner

[Jeremy Hunter]

This is incredibly funny. Really it is. Nothing quite changes. Maybe the names of the involved people change, and the motivation for picking one side over the other also changes. Maybe some of the involved people are much the same people as last time, just with a different agenda this time artound, which may or may not have something to do with spiting Zelot.

Who freakin' knows.

Truth is all the sides of this little dispute are petty and pathetic. Both sideshave got into this strange male-apendage waving competition, to determine who is the more manly, while also crying about the other side like a bunch of little girls.
Zoners - You're refusing to acknowlege something that's actually a problem. Go make a Corsair and have fun chasing every last guy who attacks Crete to whichever of the nearest freeports they feel like. I mean, Gamma really is completely surrounded by open-use bases. More so than anywhere else in sirius. It's a bit frustrating. I wonder how you'd feel if Corfu was turned into a hunter base, FP9 an OC base, and FP5 a hessian base. I bet the zoners would be crying then, but honestly that's the way it often feels for the Corsairs.

Furthermore, you've allowed yourselves to get stirred up into militant action by a group of people who's agenda is basically making a mess for Zelot. It's personal. Nice huh? Infact this specific group of people just loves the drama. the more the better. If people are crying, they're drinking the sweet tear-nectar. Many of these people were flying for the corsair side of the conflict in it's previous incarnation. The reason for the side-switch is just an arbitrary case of who they favour in OORP terms this time around.
Corsairs - You're incredibly stupid. You're trying to strong-arm a solution to a problem that can't ever be solved. Why can't it be solved? Because doing it would screw the Zoners. The mod puts them in a totally untenable position. They can't FR5 any and all outcasts/hunters/hessians who stage from FP9/5/Corfu, because the paperwork would be obscene and you can't catch them all. The Zoners can't go full hostile to those groups to prevent them docking either, because that would cause problems in places which have nothing to do with the corsairs. For example, FP2, FP10, FP6... The list goes on. YOU CANNOT ASK THEM TO GO HOSTILE TO THE PEOPLE WHO ATTACK YOU, BECAUSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE.

I sympathise with your position, I really do, Liberty's full of 'neutral' stations as well, and it's mindbendingly annoying to just chase every last pirate you find to Rochester, Beaumont, FP2, etc. However, telling the junkers to go hostile to the OC would completely screw their roleplay.
Hessians - Bunch of opportunist, poop-stirring, annoyances. You can see the storm coming a mile off, sure. but hey, causing trouble for other players is cool right? Right? yeah. lets raid every day! god I love that attitude.

OC - The only group who's indies can match the stupidity of Corsair indies.

GMG - Just because you finally have something to do, doesn't mean you should be joint raiding gamma with the Outcasts.

[51st] - There is no good reason for MND ships to raid Gamma. The end.
None of you are taking a position which is sane. Every involved group is being mindblowingly stupid. I laugh at all of you. Frankly, yeah, I'm gonna fly in this pathetic war. A war which was spawned by dong-waving, made worse by personal issues. But the only reason I'm gonna fly is because I like shooting stuff. I'll fly for whichever side needs the numbers at the time.

The only thing I'm gonna say is that all the people in leadership positions in this, climb down from their respective high horses and realise that they're making themselves look extremely stupid.

Edit: Fran told me to list his Mando as an annoyance. So, Fran's merc is an annoyance. Happy now Fran?

I agree completely with Joe.

This is why the SCRA| only docks on freeports when we have to log off immediately for RL problems. We base from, surprisingly, Omega 52.

:sleep:such a strange concept, using our own bases.
