Faction Idea - The Zone Republic

[snowm]

I'd like to thank everyone, who posted here so far, i've thought on the subject and I'm downgrading this post from recruitment to just debate, and wearing my asbestos suit and steel plated underwear:)


The idea i have presented here speaks of o group of Zoners, just like the BD are a group of Kusaris, that are tired of the lone, forever neutral, merchant/farmer archetype.

I'll try to express myself with a story:

There was this young Corsair, who one day he had the misfortune of crossing an Elder [insert motive here], and sought refuge in a Freeport.
Arriving there he asked the community if he could be one of them, to erase his past and start a new life, to what the Zoners said, "yes, you can but stick to our rules".
Now this fledgling Zoner, started hauling food supplies to the Zoner allies, the Order and the GMG. One day on arriving at Toledo he went to the Ship dealer and...looked at the Nephtys, went to the armoury and looked at the Inferno cannons, the Battle Razors etc. and asked "Can we Zoners really buy this stuff from you?" and the answer was "Sure, we are allies aren't we".
The following day he arrived on a GMG outpost near a debris field, and asked the ground crew, "Why is there so many debris around here?", some of the GMG ground crew answered "have you never heard of the GMGxRheinland war? we drove them out here", to his disbelief he said "...The Rheinland, are we talking of the Rheinland", "why, yes of course, you see, when we can H-fuel boycott whoever supports our enemies, and we have enough money to pay the latest ships, weapons and mercenaries, no one will mess with us"
These notions planted a seed on his mind, he was a Zoner now, but like many Zoners he wasn't born a Zoner, he became one.


Anyway this is just the story of a young Corsair, to young to start anything, but maybe receptive to some more "proactive" ideas.

Societies are dynamic, people change when they interact, some change for better other for worst. I'm trying to add here some new RP elements, fear, greed and a new flavor hypocrisy.
The unknown citizen of the speech in the start of this topic has a name and a purpose, he instigates fear on the people to get support for his cause, he instigates greed [credits, personal power, etc] on the fighters so they'll join the cause, and finally uses hypocrisy to gain time, resources, and influence.

Now the concept of hypocrisy i very difficult to RP, simply because I'm saying here that it exists, and i describe it on the OOC part.
So the perfect world the ZR citizen might look like you average hippie Zoner with a more "righteousness" style of speech just strolling around, but, secretly researching Nomad tech, bribing left and right and plotting...something.

Anyway think of it as Greenpeace falls to the Dark Side. It's just more fun to corrupt the "good" that the "bad"

I've read the "How should Zoners behave" thread, and my conclusion was: some people think A others think B, and I'm just happy with that.
