Hunting pirates

[Malaclypse 666]

I will make a final statement in KNF's defense; then I will not anticipate, pre-empt, nor speak in LoTeK's stead on these forums again.

Admiral Sulu inherited many of the regulations and KNF policies which seem to be in question here. It is now his perrogative to change them if he wishes.

This is all documented history.

Ambassador deLuna (aka Harley) initiated the "no caps in Honshu" edict, which then translated to no BS's in the Core systems. Does that tell you how long it has been in place?

Hiroshima was purchased during Nadir's Leadership. Access to KNF and KNT vessels was in place from day one.

When Nebotuda/Yngen left, Chijin was the first to interdict and to fine Yoda-[T] for entry into Hiroshima. He later came to me with his donation, and I granted him access to Hiroshima for trading. His is the only exception, and LoTeK_ permits it still on my recommendation.

I humbly suggest that Shagohad's roleplay should have included, nay, been initiated by communications with Sulu and KNF regarding his intentions. KNF doesn't owe him a dime for his failure to think of that.

Shagohad's answer to the issue of police owning a Battleship was to change his ID from KSP to KNF.. an even greater slap in the face to a House faction which limits its members to the ships they may fly.

The KNF has one, count em, one Battleship. The Katana Defense Wing later brought a second when it merged with KNF, but how often do you see either one? Does the phrase "month of Sundays" strike a chord? Does this shed light on why a KSP-tagged BS might have been a bit jarring?

In the new Mod, the Talarca Cruiser will be available on Planet Honshu. Perhaps this would make an ideal "Police Corvette", as it breaks from the traditional look of Kusari's military fleet. LoTeK_ seems willing to make concessions, on pretty much anything except Shagohad's bloody great can opener.

For you detractors of LoTeK_ and the KNF, I think he deserves great credit for his devotion, and willingness to continue after the desertion, yes desertion, of its previous leaders; Nadir, Yngen, Harlequinn, and myself. The Curse of the Blue Lagoon has bested each of us in turn. Will all of you, and Discovery in general, be better off if LoTeK_ and the KNF follow suit; and Kusari is reduced to nothing but chaos?

That is what we are facing here.. not just one person who says, "screw you, I'll fly what I want and do what I want, cause you're not on when you should be"...

Eris may be smiling,
but I'm not.
Believe me.
