Zoner sub-division

[Dab]

You must be talking about Mr.White, the newly self-declared logistics manager of Freeport 14.

Jinx, or rather Ms.Tate, never declared herself king of anything. She just asked folks to recognize FP11 as completely independent, which most everyone did. Ms.Tate has not controlled FP11 in any way.

Jinx didn't ask people to recognize FP11 as independent, she up and declared herself the 'guardian of Freeport 11' and the person in charge of all diplomatic and managerial duties of Freeport 11. That's exactly what Nooblet is referring to.. And Nooblet is right.

And I think the count so far is nearing three months since I last saw Jinx in-game. Maybe more. What people want to know is why she thought she had the right to do that kind of RP when there were people RPing as citizens of Freeport 11, and had been for quite some time, and not a single one of them was ever contacted about the decision. Nor was anything said to the public until the 'grand announcement'. It all happened 'behind closed doors' so-to-speak. That's why people, myself included, are upset about the whole FP11 situation. It was a complete powerplay by Jinx, who doesn't even come in-game.. Ever.

To summarize; Did Jinx act like the 'King' of Freeport 11? Yes.

People complain only at who they want to complain.
Louisa Salome stating that she would prefer if CoZ dissolved itself, in a fit of anger, does not qualify as "the factions admitted to it." We did not make a statement saying, "Hence forth, CoZ is dissolved."

For all of you screaming "faction power grab:" The factions were getting ready to give CoZ sovereignty in O-49, plus the NFZ around 4 other bases over the Zoner Alliance. Read -- CoZ's law would overrule that of the ZA in any one of those territories. This proposal was rejected in the CoZ Skype chat on the account that the factions were trying to split territory.

Jumping to conclusions as always.

Lou leads one of the factions.. Samuel Nichols said something along the same lines. He leads one of the other factions. That's two out of three factions saying it. I'd call that admitting it.

And the proposal, which was never sent in-RP or on the forums mind you, was rejected for very clear and simple reasons;

Yes, the factions were trying to split up territory and dole it out. The Council of Zoners is completely against any version of that idea for the simple reason that we don't agree with the concept of any Zoner body holding 'territory' beyond guard systems. Omicron-74 is ZTC's, Baffin is TAZ', we don't care about that at all. But we'll be damned if ZTC is trying to claim Freeport 9 as theirs. That is one reason.

The other reason is the the places the factions wanted to give CoZ were the most tense and hostile stations. Omega-49, Corsair/Hessian/Molly battleground. Freeport 1, BAF/Hessian/Corsair battleground and an issue with Bretonia for a long time. Freeport 2, RM/LN/Unioner battleground. 1 other station that you didn't name.

That's handing CoZ the stations most likely to give us trouble, so the factions can say 'We aren't in charge, don't blame us!'


Is it really that difficult to understand why we didn't like the idea?


You're making legislation that is drastically slanted in your favor, then try to blame us because we reject the idea.. If you came up with a legitimate deal that is actually plausible from our standpoint, you'll have more luck. Simple fact however; Don't try slicing up territory and doling it out, as we'll never accept that.


Perhaps you're the one who jumped to conclusions. Don't presume to be our conscience, nor know our thoughts.
