' Wrote:My point was this: "There is no such thing as a "Zoner way"". Zoners are extremely diverse in their views and opinions.
Let's get one thing straight.
There is no Zoner way because the player base RPing Zoners each decided on their own way to go about things without actually studying Freelancer lore. Zoners are extremely diverse because the players are. In the lore, there definitely is a Zoner way, code, and significant pattern of behavior. In fact, there is much more evidence that Zoners are similar and very little to suggest that they are any more diverse than Corsairs.
But here I am talking about NPC lore.
So if anybody, Wood, Cross, or Stygian, wish to have an argument on the matter, pick one stance.
Either you argue on the basis of FL lore or you argue based on player lore. Just don't mix the two because you end up picking whichever elements suit you best from both sides of the field.
As for the OSI/ZTC penis waving contest, I thought that would have ended long ago. ZTC players never made any more mistakes than OSI players. Set an example for the rest of the guys and shake hands already.
EDIT:
' Wrote:You also mentioned how Zoners left the houses to get away from the governments and corporations. That doesn't mean we are 100% opposed to them. That just means the original Zoners wanted to leave and do things their own way. Which is exactly what we are doing. Besides, most Zoners now are second generation and don't hold any real grudges towards the houses.
Here is a great example of what I was talking about. Zoners are totally, 100% opposed to the governments and their corporations. This mindset you are suggesting is entirely player driven, which is fine, but let's not mislabel it for NPC lore. As for Zoners being a second generation that also isn't true.
Zoners have been around since 550 A.S. which is around 300 years. In 800 A.S., they are still very much holding grudges against the Houses.
