actually, they are around for quite some time now (as a faction)
for example MY first note of this faction in the logs is

so - a month old faction (at least a month). they are just in the spotlight now.
' Wrote:McNeo, Zelot would you have accepted the [A]'s rp by foreigners, players you do not know?
No, no I wouldnt; this is all a conspiracy against the Zoners.
If they were Russians, Hungarians and Romanians, I would've FR5ed them immediately because I dont understand cyrillic.
' Wrote:McNeo, Zelot would you have accepted the [A]'s rp by foreigners, players you do not know?
I would direct you to look into the start of the OPG, and then the restart of the OPG here on Discovery. The OPG took a hard line against Zoners when they were just starting on the server. While there was discussion on it, none of the official factions at the time felt the need to step in, for many of the same reasons as they dont want to step in today. Oh, and we didnt know the people behind the OPG at that point, so that should answer your question.

At this point you are not discussing anything relevant to the recent posts nor are you providing feedback to the [A], so unless you got something to say regarding these two areas you are being off-topic and should refrain from posting further.

*raises hand*
I supports you & the massive change made by you, I like that too....
and as far as I'm seeing here many old Corsair player's will support you....

Edit: kramer I think you are taking this issue as a personal one, its a game not RL..
Heh, early OPG.
See, Kramer actually posted a wrong question.
You should have asked if they would actually acknowledge the faction if some of the existing but not good enough roleplayers members opened this faction.
And I wouldn't support it honestly.
Is that biased? No it's not.
If you put a bomb technician and a starbucks worker in front of a bomb. Who would you trust? I really do understand your question, but the deal is that some people are open to
a) suggestions b) conversations c) good fun.
That person might be on the server for 2 days (example would be those hessian miners who were extra smart but broke rules:D), or it might be a veteran who's simply sick of his [insert house space here] and wants something new. Those people will always get things faster because they are communicative.
Huh, looking for a reason to exclude a fellow player from a discussion?
If you still do not realise it, I'm not a new member to this community.
I had agree to the disband of my old clan and did a fresh restart after a break.
I do not rely on registration dates nor posting counts.
My intentions to question and discuss your group and the influence are very serious, sorry for still having fun with this game and fellow players.
Zelot is absolutely right with said statement, verifying my opinion and McNeo knows about my concerns regarding bogus - that means inappropriate, dishonest roleplay just for the purpose to cover personal means/intentions.
And that is exactly what your group is about in my opinion - even it is covered by the official Corsair factions now.

If you re-read my post, you will see that I had no problem with further inputs if it's relevant to the thread and its content.
This comment has not nothing do with the [A] feedback:

You don't need to make a hyperbole of the situation either, your history with Discovery is of no concern to me.
Finally your statements regarding the "motives" behind this group has been said, at least three times in this thread now. If I count it right, perhaps even more. I feel that I have adequately replied to that suspicion of yours (providing background Role-Play, explaining my character's history as well as my personal history with the Corsairs) but it seems like you are not satisfied until I will provide you with the answer which you want to hear.
Oh what a wonderful thread. I laughed, I cried, I laughed until I cried, did a couple serious faces, and of course, laughed some more. Why, you ask?
Simply put, I haven't seen so much whine since I took a tour of a Niagara Falls winery (oh yeah, I made a pun). Why is everyone's first reaction about something new and different happening on Disco to come on the forums and bitch about it? Your collection of pixels exploded? So what? Click the respawn button, it'll still be there.
Sirius is a dangerous place, about as dangerous as the world is. If you're walking down the street, and someone mugs you, do you ask him why he's doing it because you're roleplaying a neutral human being? Do you come onto a forum and complain to someone about the ooRP mugger? No, you handle it like any sensible person would and call the police. Now, take that same approach and apply it to this game because as far as your character is concerned, there is no forum to complain on.
You do realize by coming on here and denouncing a form of RP because you think it doesn't make sense you are in fact destroying RP and immersion? You are handling an in RP situation in an ooRP manner which entirely defeats the purpose of roleplay to begin with. Zoner factions have handled this very well, and within RP. Learn from their example.
Also, lets not forget this thread is about [A] and their behavior. Create a separate thread to discuss Zoner/Corsair relations.
Now to some of my favourite bits of this thread.
' Wrote:Zoners have the largest armada in all of Sirius.
No, you simply don't. You cannot build the infrastructure to build, supply, design the ships, recruit engineers and shipbuilders, gather the resources, amass the necessary crews to outnumber a house fleet all within 18 years. No, simply no.
' Wrote:If Corsair aggression against the Zoners persists, and draws in more of the Corsair Nation - what is to become of the Corsair population on Gran Canaria?
I'll take a Corsair in a barfight over a Zoner any day.
' Wrote:Fact is the recent development disrupt my and other's roleplay and that's not funny at all.
Part of roleplay is reacting to other people's roleplay towards you. You do not have the right to RP without being bothered, and having a Zoner ID doesn't mean you will be left alone. War was declared on Zoners, time to deal with it like a Zoner would. Oh wait...
' Wrote:No, no I wouldnt; this is all a conspiracy against the Zoners.

:lol:
But uh.. Romanians and Hungarians don't use cyrillic.
' Wrote:No, you simply don't. You cannot build the infrastructure to build, supply, design the ships, recruit engineers and shipbuilders, gather the resources, amass the necessary crews to outnumber a house fleet all within 18 years. No, simply no.
Here's what's really going to tickle your fancy.
If according to vanilla lore, the Zoners are still looking for a planet in A.S.800 (single player), how do they have an entire planet with a 400 million population in A.S. 760?
