Ganna jump in here with a few things, As Styggy has mentioned, the way i handled things IN rp is how my character would do it, hes not the sort of person to apologise, nor back down from things, not the best traits of a CEO but Voncloud isnt your typical CEO. Now, alot of people seem to think i flat out refused to pay the fine, which if you read the posts, i didnt, i said it would be paid under protest, give me details please. Basically, yes, ill pay the fine, but i dont have to be happy about it, however instead of giving me said details, i get an inrp Tantrum instead. Taking the OOC element in leader chat out of the equation, this to me seems like, as Styggy put, i wasnt Rping how i was expected to, and so toys were thrown out of the pram. Everything i did was Rped how my character, an old, EX Mercenary with no real cooperate background would handle the situation, the replies i got from the initial post with the Admiral, IMO were worse. The story of hessiens did it, yes it was a bluff, an attempt at trying to get away with it, you rumbled it from the get go, hence the reason i said id pay the fine under protest, more because im not about to say "hessiens did it" get found out and then go "yeah your right, i was lieing, trying to pull the wool over your eyes, here have 15 mill mate, sorry about that" no, its not how it works, instead i would pay the fine keeping the persona of a CEO with a traumatised crew. Instead of accepting my fine, we get basically a temper fuelled Banning because of "how i spoke to him" Seriously if that happened in Real life, we would have alot more wars.
The deals giving to us by pavel, again was all RP and even discussed between myself and the directors, from a company stand point, again probably very unexpected and not the usual bending over you people seem to expect, fact is, if i can help it i dont do boring, mundane or unoriginal things, fact is my choices here have given OSI more interactions with other factions both lawful and unlawful, and everything i have done has all been INRP, not something i can say about the Rheinland side now is it.
Id also like to point out something thats shown itself is that people seem to think that OSI isnt a Zoner faction, and has nothing to do with Zoners, sorry but your wrong, in every step possible. OSI was started by Zoners, for Zoners, to supply Zoners and take Zoner wares to house space, if you care to even READ the OSI ID it states, RATHER CLEARLY
Pilot carrying this ID is a Zoner who:
Can attack lawful and unlawful targets in self-defense, to protect another trader, or in defense of Zoner bases.
Notice the IS A ZONER part?
If people even cared to read the OSI history there is lots there telling you that OSI, IS a Zoner faction.
Now i understand why people seem to think otherwise since OSI does seem to be nothing more then a power trading faction who do nothing really Zonery at all, something that will be changing whilst i am CEO of it. But until its stated otherwise or we state otherwise OSI is a Zoner faction, wether you like it or not.
