Slartibartfast, I think that you do not understand me or I have explained badly. My point is: if they are Corsairs must follow the rules of the Council of Elders, if ignored them, simply must change their Corsair ID to Pirate ID.

They claim to be anarchists but thier behaviour is typical of anarcho-syndicalist gunman (which deny the majority of anarchists).

And with reference to the names, it is best to use proper "Hispanic" names of Arab, North African or Muslim origin (there are hundreds to choose from) than foreign to hispanic culture.

Each one plays like he wants, but if you give a historic touuch (both real and ingame) evertone wins or not lose anything. Try to imagine for a second, I found a revolutionary group in Galia and call it Almoravides and its boss Almanzor. Surely, the French (real life) and Gallic (ingame) do not understand anything that has to do with them or the Frankish Kingdows in Eastern Mediterranean (those in Holy Land) a North African tribe that invaded Al-Andalus or an Andalusi general.

I think we may be getting pedantic now.

Of course they aren't real anarchists, and of course 'Saladin' implies certain things. However, they're just names, and people name things for all sorts of reasons. Hell, some people apparently name their boys Sue to toughen them up...

You may disagree with me on this, but I've always seen the hispania sleeper ship containing a mixture of Mediterranean people. That includes Italian people, Spanish people, North African, Greek... A spanish speaking majority, and a varied minority of other Mediterranean people.

Fair enough. My knowledge of the Corsair Lore from Vanilla is sketchy, but I do recall the Spanish and Italians constitute a fair bit (90%?) of the population, so these people would be quite the minor segment.

90% would be pure assumption. You would think if that was the case, their planets would be named Madrid and Rome instead of Crete (Greek) and Malta (Maltese).

The naming has more to do with what was their role in Vanilla I think. Both are related to piracy and illegal activities in some way, if memory serves right.

More assumptions, I'm afraid.

That'll do for Corsairs. Anyways, thanks for clearing up that thing with the Arabic Callsigns.

How are you going to RP it out with the Corsair Leadership? They may not want to break away from the Zoner shipments of food right away, and that'll create some sparks.

There are no more food shipments, Zoners have stopped them. Doesn't really give the Corsair leadership much incentive to stop them, now does it?

For now. You'll need to get food from somewhere, I think it's a temporary situation....What after if and when it's resolved? Tensions will be there of course, will you allow the Anarchists to continue with their attacks?

Apologies, we are getting bombed on all sides. Hard to travel and all that.

But a member once screamed at me with profanity for taking his topic offtopic, so I take my leave.

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.
