I'm hearing some things including the R-word so I'm just going to clarify some things about the fight that just took place in Alpha:
1. It's entirely within both our RP and our ID for Core to make alliances on the fly. The Core's extremely flexible morals would permit them to temporarily side with a hostile party if it means victory.
2. We had the pick of shooting Outcasts or Corsairs since it was a threeway. We ended up picking Corsairs since they had larger numbers, in order to balance it out.
3. There's cooperative RP going on in the background between Enma Loyola and Commune, giving Core and Commune ties to each other.
4. The Core ID lacks the "Cannot partake in unlawful actions" ID line which normally prevents hostile factions from siding/grouping with each other (we didn't even group with them).
Complaining about this is hypocritical because:
1. Several Corsairs in the fight were also trying to encourage Outcasts to side with them and shoot us.
2. A Colonial Cap was present, assisting Corsairs against OC, and CR have actually listed Corsairs as unfriendly in their diplomacy.
Lastly, the Outcasts ended up shooting us anyway, some of them did so even when there were still Corsairs around.
In conclusion: what occurred neither broke the rules, our ID or roleplay.
