ok...first of all...many people here seem not to like the fact that me (read: Xeno gunboat, only one) was fighting on the same side as AW. However, in order to understand this u need to know how that battle started.
None of you who are arguing here wasn't there at start. But i did. Two gunboats, one taged corsair and one Xeno attacked LSF vessel above LA planet. Soon SA GB Columbia arrived from Texas and fight went on...Only later in fight AW, HF and rest and of SA-SF arrived. This wasn't planned attack and none of Corsairs and Xeno participants have allied with any of the other factions.
Battle was fun. No one can deny that. And fun is the whole meaning of it. We all play this game for fun. So don't spoil it by arguing.

Due to the accusations against the Asgard Warriors, I am preparing a poll of the Zoner people.
Accusations have been brought of the AW supporting criminal groups. The AW have been accused of terrorist activity.
As the AW have denied being Zoners, and only act as an affiliated organisation, they can have no place in this vote.
First option: That the AW should no longer sully the Zoner name. That they cease all alliances with and vendetta against all organisations immediately in accordance with Zoner neutrality. If they are unwilling to abide by Zoner neutrality, they should cease all Zoner affiliation.
Second option: Includes the first option, and AW should also be required to pay full compensation to those attacked by the AW since they first provided illegal support to the Hellfire Legion. The AW should also send full and sincere letters of apology to all those hurt by their actions.
Third option: That the AW are not required to abide by Zoner neutrality.
Fourth option: That the AW have already done enough damage to the Zoner reputation for neutrality and should be required to end all Zoner affiliation.
Please reply with any other options you think may be appropriate or changes you think should be made..

As a Corsair, you will understand that, though i am not participateing in this vote, i have teh right to voice my opinion on the matter.
When AW made the alliance with the Lane Hackers, I didn't know what to think. On the face of it, the AW and HF alliance is seemingly legitamate. However, the fact that the AW is actively supporting the Lane Hackers is disturbing to us, as it seems that the representatives of the Zoners are allying with the outcasts against the Corsairs throught their Lane Hacker links. It would be fine, in my opinion, if the AW and HF were friendly and assisted against common enemies. However, i doubt the Zoners have any real enemies.
Moreover, the AW represent the rest of the Zoner population around Sirius; this means that their actions dictate how we, the rest of the factions and organisations, view the zoners as a whole, not just the AW.
The fact that you have spoken up against the AW alliance with the HF is heartening, but i take it with a grain or two of salt. The fact that we as pirates (and Zoners) can put aside our differences to liberate Sirius is the grain of salt. I do not wish infighting to happen, but it is neccesary. It should be minimised.
I hope the AW don't declare war or change their stance with us becuase of what i have said this day.

I can not vote on this so i wont. However, I feel that the stance the AW has taken to my bounty hunter organisation is an outragous breach relations that Zoners wish to keep with us. The main lump of bounty hunters operate from your freeports, protecting them from unwanted scum of the sector, yet your guardians the AW, shunn us from those bases. Whats more, its because we were doing our job killing lanehackers.
I applaud the Zoners in doing what they are right now. I despise the AW anddo not think they are acting in the interest of the Zoners. Normal bounty hunters doing what we should be doing. That is just wrong.
Please take steps to make the AW reconsider their choice of alliances and enemies. It pains me to say that I no longer consider the AW protecting the Zoners. They are rather provoking enemies to the Zoner cause
(Welcome, Sigismundo. Hope your new Cafe does well. I hear we may have something uncommonly in common. Looking forward to the opening!)
