Kusari RP?

[BaconSoda]

You're right. That's a long time for relationships to change and the "Disco" GMG has done a lot to distance itself from Kusari in that time.

If not for Kusari giving the GMG a refuge during the 80-Years-War from which they could do hit-and-run attacks, they probably would not exist. That war was 150 years ago. Now, during the first great war of the colonies between two houses, the GMG decides that it will not participate in an embargo on Bretonia, but openly enters its space with H-Fuel (through the Taus, no less). I know this because at the time I was the head of the BPA and the constable in space, and I turned them away under suspicion that they were Kusari.

If I were the Kusari, I'd be kinda pissed, cuz, you know, the GMG owes Kusari a little bit, and openly trading fuel to the only enemy is a little bit treasonous.

But then again, that would be like, say, when France decided that they would openly combat England during the American Revolution then, say, the Americans deciding they were going to trade with the Axis Powers instead of the Allies. But that didn't happen. Instead under threat of open-naval warfare, the United States continued to supply France with munitions. I'll tell you now that I don't feel very culturally close with France now and I doubt that Americans did in the 1910s either. We owed them something and a previous common enemy is what really brought us together.

More recently, 65 years ago the United States entered World War II and freed France from German occupation. As an American, if the French decided suddenly that they were going to trade with North Korea and ignore the sanctions the United Nations had placed on it, I would feel very betrayed. They owe us something like we owed them something and they decided to trade with someone who we declared to be a part of the "Axis of Evil", a country whose very principles are contradictory to ours.

What you do now is take that feeling of betrayal and apply it to an archaic Japanese culture which values loyalty and honor above most other principles. If I were Kusari I would be...pretty pissed.

Stabbing a country who you owe your very existence to in the back is not a nice reputation. This is where the GMG has decided to take their lore. It could be a good thing. It could be a bad thing. It's just RP and it's just what's happened.
