How a player faction excludes a characteristic of the NPC faction

[Teek]

Second off, just because someone else has a different interpretation of RP does not mean his interpretation is wrong unless you can prove it wrong. There are many rumors about the Corsairs being envious of the Zoners and distrusting of the Zoners. Just because you don't think it's friendly to attack them does not mean that the other Corsairs do not disagree with you. They are fulfilling their RP through attacking the Zoners and it is just as legitimate an RP as your being friendly to the Zoners.

Also, if you are a Corsair, you are a Corsair. There is once instance in vanilla which shows a Corsair who had defected, and that was the Rebel in Omicron Theta (Omicron Theta Diamondback wreck). All other instances show that when you are birthed as a Corsair, that is all you are. You are a Corsair until death. No doubt there are peculiarities, however those are few and far between who are, no doubt, hiding from the Corsairs. I really don't see any Corsairs ever renouncing their Corsair Vows (like the Rebel was documented to do) in order to live as a Zoner.

Your first paragraph contradicts your second.
In the first one you say that anyone can rp what they want, which is true. Then in your next paragraph you say you don't see any corsairs renouncing their corsair vows(btw there isn't any vows, your born on crete, your a corsair as far as racially, faction wise is up to your own rp. I've seen kusari bretonians. so its possible.)

Zoners come from EVERY faction.
Zoner history
quote from the wiki:
"As traders from the Edge Worlds emerged, now flying under an Independent banner, they attracted a flood of civilians who were largely impressed by the Zoners’ freedom and prosperity. The news of Zoners spread through Sirius attracting more and more people - craftsmen, veterans, scientists, artists and criminals - many of whom changed their identity and tore down all connections to their respective communities."


This is why when in the single player a freeport was destroyed it was such a big deal. it wasn't oh a few zoners died, oh well. It was all factions looking at that going WTF I had contacts/relatives/relations/business partners There!

another quote from the zoner history on the wiki:
most people of Sirius appreciated the Freeports as bastions of freedom where commodities could be traded and information gathered freely and unmolested by House authorities.



And I'll concede on the dab point, I saw admin on his forum name and assumed the rest so I'm wrong there. I will try to find the post where one of the admins does come out and say something though.
