[Zoners]Clan Request

[Serpentis]

Pretty words, but they shows nothing about the intentions of yours. I mean, are you really here to help us, or only to make sure we finish posting here as soon as possible.

Hmmm?

He was actually being quite nice...

Follow the Wisdom of Jinx and Greendragon.

Jinx has been playing Zoners for a long time, he knows what fits and what does not fit to you.

I won't state my opinion, but faction approval takes time, and you have to listen to criticism and opinions of the community, because remember that you are sharing the server with us. Thus we have all right to voice our opinions. So far, all the critics have been pretty civilized, we aren't there to bring you down, but to help you to improve and get approved

Greendragon, you really show some nice virtues there... You have a good attitude, only if your leader were the same. Don't try to push the faction proposal too much. A proposal takes at least several weeks before getting a yes/no. People will comment and point things they don't like. You can't dismiss commentary as insults.

Best thing would be to play as an informal group. You just won't have the admin stamp of approval, no hindrance to your rp. You will get to know this place and others will get to know you...

[greendragon]

It's up to you to help us or not... we seen only your words and you seen only our words as well. I'll be online today morning so I hope we'll meet or sort. Well, I need to rest a bit too after all, good night (or afternoon to some).

I'll stay a bit more, if you wish to talk or play online with one of my characters. And in fact, I play diplomatic pirate characters too, rather than shooting-dooting pirates of bull-heart.

Role-Play History:
We left what people call civilization to escape our past and our enemies, like the rest of those out here in these remote and unregulated systems. Some of us had lives engulfed in fighting before, while others were simple people sick of their life or rich people looking for adventure far from the influence of the four Houses. We live and "work" like other Zoners, but concern ourselves mainly and politically about Houses expanding deeply into independent worlds.

We protect and avenge our fallen people if pirates breaks our agreements: we have no intentions to pay taxes unless we ship goods through their home systems. Some of us are charismatic traders and bargain is our specialty, if someone comes to buy "delicate" equipment we will treat the deal with care. Yes, we deal with gadgetry but what we sell is much more valuable than anything other parties like the Junkers have to offer. However, we only sign deals on Freeports, only in these stations and space are the Zoners truly safe.

You could ask for loan, but we expect to have it back later, if not (or in the case the character have been deleted) we would surely go to one of your friends to find you. We do not tolerate those who breaks our agreements or robs our members without proper intentions and explanations. If this happens, we send out an investigator of ours to find witnesses, and to contact the faction the committer of the crime belonged to. If we fail on the way of diplomacy, we would send out one of our judicators of the Excubiae Caliginis along with some escorts and mercenaries. Money is a thing we dislike, but we still need it to ensure our influence out there. Sometimes we even act as negotiators, but only out of House interests, so most likely between corporations like Kruger Minerals, the Gas Miners Guild, or the Independent Miners Guild. We have no allies, but our specialities are, that we agree the right of the Junkers to control Yanagi, and to keep the GMG separate from Kusari. These two bussinesses are our only interests in other factions, but we wouldn't do favors for them every day and every minute... we're Zoners after all, we are small in numbers, but we will fight for our rights and to defend ourselves. Sometimes we would go out to the most remote systems to find mysteries and adventures."



Background Information:

Zoners are a group of people that have chosen to live in the "unregulated" systems. No-one knows why but in theory it's because they choose to live a peaceful life. Zoners have no real enemies or allies. They have taken a bit of a influence from The Order and the Gas Miners Guild, due to the threat of the Nomads.

Enough about the other Zoners, let us talk about us. We are a diverse group of Zoners that have chosen to dedicate our lives to helping. Whilst is may sound cliche we give the poor a nice warm meal and a place to stay. Most have chosen to join us because we are a fun bunch. Notice the word choice.

Do not let this charity fool you. We are always willing to defend and protect our interests if needed. Whilst we will follow the latter of the law in house space, please remember that Border and Edge Worlds are not in the jurisdiction of any house.

For the most part we engage in trade. Besides trading, we practice. Practice, practice, practice. With space that way it is today, we never know when a pirate might think we are trespassing, or when a lawful thinks we are invading their space. We like to keep it neutral, but of course everyone else does not.

[Z] was proudly founded by two members, Kostura and Karank, the first and second in command. We are currently investing heavily in our defensive forces. We may share more information on our military, we may not. It is the Zoner way to keep their business to themselves, and we excel at it. We are a very new group and we don't have too much of a history. This will only change with time. We plan to make our "mark" and be known throughout the Sirius sector.

IFF/ID: Zoner.

Zone of Influence: Mainly all Freeports, although we are everywhere.

Note:
1) We have our own traders, escorts, fighters and law.
2) We do jobs for outsiders, and these would cost only a bit more than affordable. If you need negotiators send messages to one of our Judicators, or if they're not around to one of our Founders.
3) Our leaders also wear a third tag 1st, 2nd, etc. (For easy identification.)
4) We only follow requests not orders. (We are Zoners.)

//I've made it into how I think it should look. Five minutes work.
//Apart from that, I haven't touched "Role-Play History" that much.
//I also changed the tag to [Z], [Zoner] tag should not be used as it's too generic.
//Best of luck, learn the ropes a bit more in my opinion.
//If you need any help just PM me. Always happy to help.

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.

[greendragon]

It's nice to see someone who cares about our struggle toward accepting us. I was thinkning for hours what to do with the Zoner tag, and decided to make proposals regarding our name:

[HBD] - Here Be Dragons - In medieval history the world was rarely known by europeans, so to the edges of the worldmaps, the cartographers wrote: Here be dragons, because they believed, that dragons dwell those areas and prevents everyone from passing through the edges. We, the Zoners live far behind these marks, far from the systems known by the neural starmap...

[HBZ] - Here Be Zoners - Compared to the latter description, we replaces the dragons on the edges of the neural starmaps...

Post any proposals you found fitting.

As those tags do make sense, they sound like comic relief.

HBZ sounds fair i think.

Also i believe Sirius cartographers would write "Here Be Aliens"

I don't have any better idea at the moment, so if you guys have proposals we would appreciate the help. And we need hints to how to earn your trusts. Currently my character has rep problems I would welome any help to fix it.

Welcome, I'd like to talk about our organisation again...

I still use 'founder' instead of 'leader', because this one is among the causes I left the life of a houseling. I already found potencial allies and on the other hand some would-be, currently vagabond members too. Our faction starts to be larger and supported by others too. We progress well, but some of us act like they would be kids playing neural video games //aka: be a bit better roleplayer sometimes even on groupchannel, please//. This is the reality, decisions would prove to be fatal in the future. So our next mission: to claim our position and stay strong there - and we need the approval of the Gods soon...

Forgive my harsh words, fellow members... but we need to be almost perfect. Being acceptable means like being ones from the mob and helps us nothing to reach our goal. We must show, that we could be trusted and could control that system as others excepts from us.
