I wanted to mention one other thing that plays into my RP. Too bad it doesn't for some others. If you remember in the beginning of the vanilla game, you get to watch this movie:
In it, it mentions the war that lasted almost 100 years on old Earth, so long that people forgot exactly what they were fighting for or why between the Alliance and Coalition. That is why the Liberty, Kusari, Bretonia, Hispania and Rheinland were launched, to leave the war behind.
Now, these Houses fight each other as do factions therein. Wasn't this why they left old Earth in the first place? Maybe some have but as the stories are passed up from generation to generation, some haven't forgotten.
While Doc himself had to use old records to get the story straight, he never forgot why humanity sought a new home, to escape war. So, while most have returned to diplomacy by gun and killing as a solution, one person anyway, has done what he can to stop it. Sadly, humanity is again trying to erradicate itself over petty differences.
I agree with one thing Dab said as Aurelia DeFrance, "You Sirians are ripe for takeover with all of you squabbling and warring over petty differences."
Doc Holiday you really should be the official spokes person for the entirety of the Zoners. When you talk I tend question the "niceness" of my treatment of ZOners, but for every post you make Doc there are 100 from Mudd, Q-Q Pettie, etc who make me and others just say "Fudge it. Kill them all."
But hey... We are playing a space shooter after all. So you piss someone off prepare to get shot. Bubai:)

Reacher, I'm also a historian and my post above indicates that. I try NOT to piss people off although I will from time to time no doubt. If I'm pirated, I pay and move on, for example.

Problem is, I don't want to be yet so many turn to me to be that person.

When Victor Cross and I performed extensive research on vanilla Zoners, we came to the conclusion that they would adopt this exact philosophy.
The non-vanilla enhancement of that philosophy was suppose to be illustrated in a series of essays called "The Universalist Doctrine," which explained in greater detail the Zoner belief. We dropped that idea because we felt it would be too much of a fan fiction piece.
It is my strong belief, after having studied the Zoner lore at length, that the Zoners would have had such a doctrine and ideas such as the one Doc has said, would be found in it.

But hey, we can't all promote Zoner's true roleplay and then sell zoner guard ID's to anyone around, or "liberate slaves" because the profit is great.
You have been a zoner for what now? At least a year? I don't see any improvement of the Zoners, hell, even in the Order. I see things going down because people lack the spine to step up.
There is no true Zoner role-play. Each person brings a different perspective. Try again with another insult.
As I have said, numerous times by now, considering you ignore what I type and consistently spew your ignorance, I have sold it to reputable forum members, and I am willing to send you their names so you can call them "lolwuts" to their face, which is what you are insinuating. Try again with another insult.
I have not used my ZAS~ in months and the faction is all but dead. That and the profits are mediocre because of the ships we fly, and the route we take. Try again with another insult.
I have been a Zoner for over two years now and I am not part of any Zoner leadership. Try again with another insult.
If you do not see any "improvement" with The Order, please, feel free to leave some feedback in the appropriate thread. OHC has a thread, Order| has a thread. Please refrain from making off-topic statements.
Anything else?

Good luck.
Anyone else find it funny that we are being told how to Zoner, by someone who does not even play a Zoner?
I think that is the most appropriate response.
Edit:
As per your edit, I edited.
Play what way?
Context please.
This thread talks about Zoners, and whether each one is a Zoner or not, and how they are seen.
You said something about being told how to play by people who don't play ZOners. Well they still gotta interact with you on there characters so if they don't like how you play the easiest and most simple solution is to just pew pew you.
But I don't thing Ivan was trying to tell you how to play. I believe he was pointing out an obvious stagnation in the Zoners RP/Gameplay.

They do not have to interact with me, they choose to interact with me.
They are telling us how to guide our RP, in terms of internal management, not external affairs and actions.
Hence, ridiculous.
Feel free to explain how it is not the above.
Also, feel free to point out this "obvious stagnation" in Zoner RP.
