How a player faction excludes a characteristic of the NPC faction

[Ceoran]

Of the entire Corsair vs Zoner mess, the Corsair's claims to have solved their food problem, and the Zoner's claims to be able to hold off the entirety of the Corsair navy are the only parts I disagree with. There is no lore that supports either claim. Any faction that, in lore, has a supply problem can easily make a bunch of transports or hire another faction to send them goods, but that doesn't mean it fits the roleplay. I, personally, think Samura going through the Omicrons with transports laden with food to send to Crete is plain silly. The government may be a Samura majority, but not the entirety of it, nor would the populace support Samura sending food to Corsair pirates. This is something BHG Core pulled, saying they had no supply issues when in lore, they very much did. I disagree with both.

I'm not sure whether that sentence about the BHG is still in connection with Samura or just the next comparison, but I'd like to point out that the first Samura|- shipments to Crete were delivered in December 09 while that BHG supply issue has, at least to my very own awareness, arisen at a later date.
However, we'll have to re-look at that relation come .86 since one of the initial justifications for supplying them was to strengthen their efforts in southern Bretonia, weakening Bretonia even further, which obviously will turn invalid with the end of the war.

*read it above yourself*

Truth been told, the longer this whole issue lasts, the less confidence I have in giving the players even a slight control over the storyline and the more I'm in favour of a 100% Igiss-controlled story. As it seems, more freedom equals more stubbornness to push for once own goals, which equals more ooRP grudges.
