(]c[) - Disbandment Notice

[fencore]

The situation at every FP differs, so the Baffin and Yukon Zoners might have a different perception of Corsairs. The Omicron Zoner are suppoed to know Sairs and OCs pretty well, which is the reason why they had to left in order to prevent stains on their brethren while not submitting to a Corsair powerplay. The only possible solution for this dilemma ... well, you know it already.

You got this exactly right. This is what Zoner RP should be. The Freeports don't need to be amassed in one conglomeration, not when we're supposed to have shunned House Governments and be - for all intents and purposes - loners. Each Freeport should be governed by its own entity and that entity should be able to regulate the sale of tech from its Freeports.

If you don't want a certain group using certain tech around your Freeport without permission, then state so. Make players have to request access from the Freeport governors near to where they'd be most active.

The whole thing with Zoner RP is that each Freeport is independent, there is no established government, and we're all just a bunch of people who like to live on the edges of space. This, however, doesn't mean we are cut off from each other. OSI still runs shipments around Sirius to supply the Freeports, as well as traders from local space too. There's still that whole neural network where we could communicate with each other. We just don't have to answer to anyone but ourselves now.

This is all philosophy that will have to be worked out, though. Lots of trial and error, and lots of exercising of our diplomatic abilities.

To the original matter, though, it is sad to see ZTC go. You blokes were a pretty visible Zoner faction and as a fellow Zoner, I can understand the trouble. You all had a big impact on RP and while a little tense, I've actually been really enjoying things lately. I can understand not wanting to deal with some of the bull going around, but it really is a shame that it finally got to you.

I wish all of you who plan on leaving the mod the best of luck, and for those of you sticking around, there's still a lot of fun to be had.
