Corsair - Zoner

[Mímir]

I really liked this thread but it has gone out of hand. This whole thing has. There is the other thread with the warmongering Zoners declaring neutrality something of the past - is that supposed to be taken seriously? And who will the next targets of the mighty Zoner war machine be? What is up with Zoners acting like Corsairs? And how does the Zoners expect to return to normality after this oorp and rp q_q fest? Is collective memory loss going to hit all of Sirius when admins or some other powerful (and responsible) beings set things straight?

Really, this is super retarded - total annihilation of FP9 by Zoner hands sounds more and more like THE viable solution - or removal of all turret hardpoints on Zoner caps so neutrality and diplomacy is no longer an option, but a forced path.

The concept of Zoners-as-warriors change the perspective on all those Zoner lolcaps you see all over Sirius and more often than not let slide, even though they shouldn't be where they are at. Zoners - indies and factioned alike - are shown a tremendous amount of good-will by everyone, simply due to their ID and not their RP. If RP changes the faction into a warmongering one, this extra slack Zoners have always been given might not persist. So who is really hurting the indie Zoners who liked neutrality just fine?

Even though the war effort is only directed at Corsairs at the moment, it rubs off on the entire image of the Zoner community - if the over-proportioned Zoner capfleet goes after the 'Sairs, who is to say what they will attack next? Attempts at annexing the Omegas perhaps? Or wasn't there a rabid group of Zoner lolcaps who wanted to "take back" Pennsylvania at some point? How is a rogue terrorist faction with a neutral reputation and zero accountability really going to fit into this game?

I might not agree with the Corsair side either, but at least their burning hatred and vicious behaviour in and out of rp falls within the boundaries of what the Corsairs are supposed to be like - that is more than what can be said about the group of warmongering Zoners - at least if they imagine themselves as neutral. I have a hard time seeing Zoners in a neutral light any more.

Elect some leaders and let yourselves be governed by those who are capable.
