getting back on course or keeping it...

[Montezuma/Kukulcan]

Here's why you (the Omicroners mainly, not the TAZ and OSI) disliked as a group, as far as I can see:

You're arrogant, aggressive and egotistical, whether this is purely restricted to within RP realms or not is a matter of opinion. But those traits are exactly what would get a group like the Zoners in trouble, and when you cause trouble, you as a faction may be able to hide away in O74, but other Zoners, especially indies, can't. You also have developed a habit of complaining when things don't go your way, in an OORP sense, this thread being a typical example, it's a complaint (directed at people who dislike you) thinly hidden behind a question, which doesn't endear you to many (if any) people. And all the whining about Corsair RP in the past few pages pretty much highlights the problem.

The other factions seem to just keep their heads down and not get involved in stuff, they deal with complaints against them diplomatically and generally try to keep people happy. This is what Zoners should be doing to avoid getting on the wrong end of large groups our houses. I mean, hell, even Cam, who always seemed ready to pick fights, was/is able to maintain stability at Freeport 11, he even managed to resolve a conflict between the Core and the Zoners through diplomacy.

So, if you don't want people to hate you, be more open and accepting, learn to be diplomats, as you've already tried learning to be warriors and that didn't get you very far. Basically, ask the TAZ and OSI how they manage to keep their diplomacy so nicely intact, and when someone questions or criticises you, do not immediately start whining or insulting them, accept what they say, even if it may appear hostile, and take it on board as advice on what you should/should not do.


Also, I'll just mention here that the Corsairs are not, and never were dependent on Zoner supplies. We survived for hundreds of years before FP9 and FP5 popped up, and while OSI and others still supply us with food, so do the Hogosha, IND, AFA and Junkers, as well as Samura, the biggest corporation in Sirius. Also, those deals date back to long before the conflict, go find the first Samura - Corsair comm threads and you'll see what I mean. So no, we didn't change our RP and try to rewrite history just to kill some Omicroners.



Oh and for the record, while I think some of the stuff you have done is hilariously ridiculous, and I very much enjoyed our conflicts, as I got to blow lots of stuff up, I do not inherently dislike you as a group, so don't assume what I have said above is said out of hatred or spite.
