getting back on course or keeping it...

From my perspective as a Zoner Indie, the three factions of the Zoners are all here because of certain directions people wanted to take the Zoners - and in the case of the Omicroners, is the direct result of ingame consequences to some stupid political\player decisions.

The Zoner factions have gone to far, and come too far for that to be really changed. And, as a faction, i believe there was once a try to make Zoners allied under one banner, and it was sabotaged by inrp actions.

Making all Zoners TAZ is neither an idea i would relish, because the TAZ are a unique, very eccentric Zoner point of view - to have to choose between Indie or Crazy (sorry TAZ), is not a great choice.

I agree with Soban - each zoner faction represents an interesting development, down an paradigm path, religion, technology, commerce. Each one has a unique place within zoner society, as well as Sirius at large.

So yeah - i dont think the Zoner faction is ruined. I think it has evolved naturally under the cause and effect of ingame politics over the past few years, and presents an incredibly interesting three sided political structure.

Politics isnt bad, Politics is life.
