History does pass me by, and i cannot spend a day of my life looking up the history. You have also proved to me that i dont know facts about who i am trying to question.
The many issues i have brought up in my previous post have not been adressed by you directly, but rather indirectly.
But the issue on HF vs (insert names here) is fine. However, i did not bring into question directly AW's conduct during the recent war, only that its alliance with HF in the first place was questionable.
Having only 2 allies, one of which is the GMG, makes Zoner diplomacy one of two things. Either very complicated, or very simple. Your statement about having alliances to balance it out is all well and good, but politically if the Zoners adopted your current diplomacy in terms of allies and friendlies, the Corsairs nor the IMG would stand for it. (this is in terms of NPCs).
Now, as a response you say "we are closely affiliated to zoners, we arent purely zoners."
ok, thats fine. However, having such contraversial alliances isnt such a good thing. I know you cant back down, because you and AW have pride, and more importantly, believe you are right. The same is true with me and others who participate in heated debates about this subject.
Being closely affiliated means that you have to at least in some ways mirror your relavent factions status with other factions. Alliance with HF, and freindly with outcasts would not go down well with Corsairs as i said earlier. With all these alliances and hostilities, how can you possibly hope to be representing the Zoner people.
I cannot comment on past wars knowing next to nothing about them.
It is getting increasingly late and my mind is wandering badly. i will continue my side of the debate tomorrow hopefully. I would tell you which questions you missed if my eyes werent closing as I type.
