Dublin Zones of Control/Sovereignity Discussion

[Hastings]

True. I just pointed to the organised group such as MMC, that gave Mollys' mining roleplay some kind of a ground. I only think that it will in no way make Mollys semi-lawful - and while they do it rather secretly with the help of Junkers, it still against Bretonia's interests since money Mollys get are spent on weapons and ships for a "fierce group of terrorists and pirates, using attacks on commercial shipping and mining operations, civilian establishments, and BAF bases and convoys in their fight to gain independence." In other words, I have hard time understanding political balance around.

Basically, situation when Mollys are mining and selling gold inrp is one level; Molly players mining and trading take this roleplay to a new one.

Firstly, just because a faction was one way in the past does not mean it remains that way. Discovery is an evolving storyline, and the Mollys have evolved from annoying second tier NPC mobs to a much more complex and dare I say beautiful group of factions.

Secondly, I would argue that Dieter's proposition pays far more mind to the national interest. Of our opponents, many of the the Mollys are more likely to curb their offenses through diplomacy than either Kusari or our soon-to-be enemy Gallia. If Bretonia and the Mollys can meet halfway, it frees up scores of warships and fighters from that tar pit we call Dublin for use where they are far more desperately needed.

Finally, while BMM may hold heavy sway economically and politically, this is a wartime environment and sometimes niceties we enjoy during peacetime have to be curtailed in war, especially in a defensive war for the survival of the nation such as this.
