' Wrote:My character is an unnamed GC sympathizer in the news field. Obviously a well-known GC can't go around as a reporter. But it's safe to say every single pirate faction in Sirius is going to have sympathetic reporters as well as reporters on their payroll to ask the questions they want to throw out. This happens extremely often in real life. News is a money business.
Also yes, she is trying to do nothing more than put pressure on IC. I'm not actually looking for an international law with my reporter. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they just ignore her. I said those things just to get them out and get people thinking about them.
I commented here that real life international law sides with GMG in this, but that was in response to one of your posts, not to IC.
See Prowler's post on that matter. There was no way that GMG could stop mining the fuel in Okinawa without massive backlash, not to mention bankruptcy. H-fuel is their business. Stop doing business and you lose your company. GMG has been mining H-fuel efficiently and reliably for hundreds of years. There is nothing to suggest they'd stop anytime soon. I would think even IC would know that.
If they wish to say they had demanded a minimum, okay. That's great. But GMG is still selling H-fuel, they can still get IC a profit. You're acting as if GMG is making so little money that IC would break from them completely and financially. If GMG were making that small amount of money, the entire Sirius sector would be in a massive fuel depression.
You're right, it is stupid to argue about something that doesn't exist.. I came here concerned about them contradicting something that -did- exist.
I'm definitely not saying GMG sells at the same level as before, but they get enough out for Liberty to stay afloat, and their pockets to remain full of cash.
As for the jumpholes, the Hogosha and FA may also know their location, but you've got GC, BD, and GMG all working together to make sure that H-fuel makes it out to the customers. Those three can easily get H-fuel passed the Hogosha and FA forces there. Not to mention the GC have got the OC in line when it comes to Okinawa. OC do not shoot GMG in Okinawa if they want to be welcomed there by the GC. OC know if they leave GMG alone in Okinawa, the GMG and BD leave them alone, unless they are wondering where they shouldn't (near Fujisawa/Sendai). So Hogs/FA are dealing with 4 factions (2 very strong) along those jumphole paths. I'd say they are secure -enough- for the GMG to use.
Mentioned in both places, but in completely different context. I'm not looking for IC to give me any international laws.
Sure Dab, I told you, you are right. I never said the GMG would go to bankruptcy, I didn't say they stopped all their sells. Surely, the outcasts will never attack the GMG because the GC asked them not to, and probably it's defined in the lore when Okinawa was created, right? So, yes, you probably know as former SOB leader (?) why outcasts wouldn't attack GMG because they were asked by <strike>kiretsu</strike> GC, even when GMG attacks them in the next system, you wrote it, right? I might be paranoic now.
Just gonna say something that might look dumb to you, but in my eyes, it has something to do, maybe not with this matter, but something conduced similarly.
Corsairs, food. Some things are possible, some things are impossible, some places are locked down, some others aren't.
And more related to IC, I still think that their contract with GMG should be writen by both parties.
PS: International laws between 4 countries, even when 2 of those countries are fighting the other 2, not to mention the two pirate nations, the megalomaniac King of Gallia, the almighty secret organization The Order, who can't beat a mere bunch of Bounty Hunters, I now see how the current (2010) international laws fit in Disco.
PS2: International laws are fine, if they are brought to the table BEFORE events happen.
PS3: Oh, and aliens.
@ProwlerPC: Sorry, but when people paint their factions in an almighty style, I start disliking them, if you say that the GMG would stand against 4 houses combined, PM Igiss, the GRN must know about that. But, you are right, you have zoners on your side, whatever you can't produce or get by your own hands, they can supply it. I know my tone is not the best, but when you are so close, you don't see the whole picture, I'm not even playing the game, but right now, I can tell you that, from what I read here and the last few days, that the GMG can beat the KNF in the sigmas, they got the bd under their pocket, the GC sells their fuel to bretonia and outcasts (yes, GC providing Bretonia, an entire house with fuel, surely the GC is the greatest trading faction), they can fight the corsairs, the outcasts don't touch them, they fight the Junkers, beated Rheinland, and can resist against the 4 houses combined (which of course would never happen, but in the odd scenario that it happened, GMG could stand against it?), I surely sound optimistic, but that's how it appears before my eyes, I doubt that you care about my opinion, or anyone care, but had to reply to you.
