Back when we first started this project I had went out and made a collection of screen shots of all rumour, news and infocards pertaining to GMG. I believe I have a copy of every tidbit of info on this server that refers to GMG be it from our own bases or from other bases using another char. I'll throw in a few here that should help answer some of the discussions here.
GMG Soveriegn, here are few little pieces here:
Kruger is not about to compete with us anytime soon even with military help it's no worry for GMG (they tried before) and another snip of info that refers to GMG not being Kusari
We are still attached to planet Honshu with mixed feelings from the residents.
Here's a little extra showing that GMG's interests are expanding
Yes KNF helped GMG but it was secretive. *speculation, not much different than the covert operations USA did with Afghanistan, USA didn't provide troops or personnel but did provide equipment and technology.*
I have a handful of SS's concerning the outcome of the 80 year war including the roll ALG has as well as Junkers, here's the first tibit (I have so many SS's I'll get to them all if needed).
It really isn't a far stretch of the imagination that once ALG/Junkers are complete with their duties as tasked by GMG from the treaty (Junkers aren't part of treaty but are tied to the same operation) their stations will be dismantled and removed to make way for more of our miners to continue extracting the gas.
Someone mentioned GMG doesn't go near the Yanagi Debris field, this is a curious statement as the Yanagi Debris Field is the most obvious piece of visual eveidence that GMG is active in that area.
For Dab, I haven't ever found any info regarding GMG and how they view GC. From my understanding that is because GC has no operation in the Sigmas. The Player factions seem to have an interest though. Both Blodo and SevereTrinity know more about the player faction bounty placed on Kiretsu, I'll have to leave that to them.
When it does end up coming to a decision between stopping a smuggler and stopping a pirate/terrorist we will, of course, target the pirate/terrorist and leave the smuggler alone. The problem was that so many felt that GMG doesn't care about smuggling that we would have an uncountable amout of them come flying not just by Naha but even "bud" right in between our ships, we will continue to dissuade all smugglers from flying directly though our most developed areas of the cloud. A smuggler coming in can head to the old wrecked Kruger depot and head up to the JH or they can come and try to flaunt their stuff by flying right up to our patrols and get the expected reaction. The smugglers break? Hope a pirate/terrorist is active nearby to draw our forces over.
If we are to continue this debate, could we move it into another thread? As this is starting to tread on GMG as a vanilla faction and not GMG| as a player faction.
Dab, simply put the bounty on Kiretsu is not coming down, you may moan all you wish, but I have reports from 4 or 5 different GMG members of Kiretsu in Sigma 13, being hostile towards GMG|, this warrants a bounty.
[8:32:45 PM] Dusty Lens: Oh no, let me get that. Hello? Oh it's my grandma. She says to be roleplay.
[12:49:19 AM] Elgatodiablo: You know its nice that you have all that proof and all, Bacon... but I just don't believe you.

Then you would back it up with evidence.
There was no Message Dump report ever sent in by any GMG ships. There was no evidence provided after your accusations. The bounty was posted quietly, with no warning or notice sent. There were no reasons given for the bounty until I brought it up publicly. There was no communication from any GMG on any situations involving Kiretsu, neither before, nor after the bounty was posted.
The situation is perfectly clear to me.
Don't worry about me arguing about it. I'm done with that, as its obvious your not willing to back down, provide evidence, provide sufficient reason, or provide any examples to back up your accusations. That leaves us one thing left to do.
With the new economy and updated faction infocards - what is the status of the treaty between the Guild and Rhineland?
As I understand it, our ships are forbidden from entering Rhineland space - yet Rhineland traders seem free to pass through ours?
We won the war, yet this treaty seems a little one sided? hence I am seeking clarification, or some idea as to whether this treaty is to be renegotiated.
If it is to be renegotiated - we need to consider the effect on any arrangements we have with Rhineland Unlawfuls.

Maybe we should start a new thread to discuss this, or go to skype first then make a thread. It's probably not that we're banned from Rheinland... but rather they'd not take kindly to us showing up because of the whole shooting up Mannheim thing. However, years have passed, and maybe it's time to open up diplomacy with Rheinland since Kishiro will be dropping our house transport contract (according to Kishiro rumors)
Our ID still states that we can destroy any Kruger, RM, and RFP that enters any system that contains one of our bases. Daumann, RepEx and ALG may pass through but I suggest they bring escorts as we may choose another "priority that's come up" if they are being pirated. The new Rep sheets in-game doesn't place any of those Rhenlanders on our hostility list and neither does GMG show up on theirs. Note: The ID takes precedence so GMG| will fire on Kruger, RM, and RFP if they enter our space but as rumours also say, GMG doesn't raid Mannheim station anymore (it stopped 8 or 9 years ago) so GMG| won't be making any offensive operations in Rheinland spae either. GMG| has a strong grudge against Corsairs and the now even closer Hogosha and will be tied up defending our operation from their antics and maybe even making rare strikes of our own.
