Discussion Faction rephacked hostile: Order

[Alvin]

Even so, what's the point screwing them THAT bad over something Order has against a faction that doesn't even want to be in the big happy Zoner family anymore? Where is the sense in that? Phoenix never had issues with Order, OSI didn't either as far as i know, they are still rephacked.

Since my earlier post seemed to have been ignored, i'll be clear:

OSI - Under their previous leader, they had some conflict with Order| (there was even shooting in O-49 at one point if iirc)
Phoenix - They werent zoners, they were Order flunkies pretending to be zoners, which is part of the reason why the admins de-officialled them. That, and some attempted powergaming using zoner indies in support of Order by Phoenix leader

Again, there is a metric ton of stuff that people outside of the involved factions and the admins dont know about.

I will try give a voice Phoenix as there is no else here to defend them-
Yes, despite putting on the neutral face like all Zoners do, their policies are pro aligned to Order for obvious reasons as you can below.

Bass hunters - Order / AI saved their POB from being destroyed multiple times.
ZA - AI & Order was first to respond to the situation, OSI and TAZ turned a blind eye to the problem initially and then refused to take any action against it after acknowledging their existence.
Nomads - No need to even expand on that
Core - Both indies and faction joined in later and found every opportunity to harass them. Order was basically a distraction / cannon fodder between the two.

After all that going on, I am sure one would remember who to rely on and the ones to avoid in the Omicron, even if you are trying to be a neutral entity living there. I am sure TAZ would do the same, under attack from Gallia / Order, you would secretly call on Council / bring in the Core to balance out the situation.

Anyway, if the Phoenix were really Order "flunkies", the Core would have gladly flushed them out in a blink of an eye ages ago.
