AW controlling Omicron Theta

[Dab]

McNeo, our alliance with HF causes no more problems with other factions than Zoners alliance with GMG would. First and foremost, allying with the GMG would put Zoners at odds with Rheinland. They would also put them at odds with Outcasts and their whole alliance, as Outcast are the dominant pirate force in Sigma-13 around the TLs. GMG is also hostile with the Corsairs. AW's alliance with HF would make Outcast alliance happy, Corsair alliance unhappy, GMG unhappy. So the same amount of happy and unhappy factions on both sides. Not to mention Zoners are also allied to The Order, AW's only other ally is SiN|Tech, and thats mostly from RP we've done. And SiN|Tech is quite the neutrality person that The Order is not.. So in total, we disrupt reps less with our alliances than Zoners do with theirs.

Our alliance are almost the same as Zoner's except different factions. One semi-lawful and one unlawful, while Zoners have one semi-lawful and one lawful. The only difference is we have an unlawful ally in place of the Zoner's lawful ally. And if you say having an unlawful ally against the Zoner's lawful ally is un RP and against Zoner rep, than I think you need to speak to SA as well, who are near-allied with KNF, whom the SA's main ally, SF, is at war with. BAF vs KNF, KNF vs SF. SA is allied to SF and near-allied to KNF, to the point of helping them out militarily, when rumors and news reports class the rep between Liberty and Kusari as a very fragile neutrality, with the possibility of Liberty joining BAF's side against KNF. Then SF is allied with the RM, whom are thinking of allying KNF against the BAF, and going to war with Liberty.. If anyone has a screwed up PC to NPC reputation status its the four house factions. I'm not saying AW's rep is perfect, but we do stick pretty close to what Zoners stick to.

*Takes breath*




EDIT: Hyper.. Now you say AW should be allied to GMG, and friendly to Outcasts.. I'm allied to HF, and you think I shouldn't be.. Now who are the Lane Hackers allied to? OUTCASTS! So your saying I should be friendly to Outcasts, but not friendly with their allies..

Furthermore, this is a bit flamage coming up.. SF is allied with RM who are close to joining the KNF against BAF. That would mean RM would be against the SF. SF is also allied to SA, okay thats fine. Then SA goes and becomes almost allied to KNF, being friendly with their ally's enemy.. seems bit hypocritical to say AW should be allied only to its host's allies, when you faction is allied to a faction thats almost the enemy of your host faction.

We don't police the system. The only thing we do is protect the innocents of Theta as you said you believe we should.

Also, demand wasn't used in the way your thinking. I was using demand to signify, what we expect to end the war. Diplomacy is handled in a give/take fashion. Give/Take is also Offers/Demands. You offer something to the other person, then you say what your demands are, what you want in return for your offers. We would give an offer and a demand. For example, in the just-finished war, we offered peace, and we demanded for that peace that you stay out of the SA/SF war and leave HF alone.

Thats what I was meaning by demand, not saying; "Do this or you die."


Also, on 'closely affiliated' I would mean; (In RP-like terms)

The AW are the defenders of Zoners, Theta/Omicron-74, and the peace of Theta/Omicron-74. Anyone who attacks the Zoners would be attacked by us. Anyone who attacks Theta/Omicron-74 would be attacked by us. Anyone who disrupts the peace, such as pirating traders or attacking innocent people in Theta/Omicron-74, would be attacked by us and/or penalized.

Zoners in turn, allow AW the use of Zoner stations, and control of part of Freeport 9, and control of Omicron-74. We would have hanger bays given to our use, and certain parts of a station. Say theoretically, that would be 10-20% of the station. We would also be allowed to construct ships and repairs in Zoner shipyards (Newport in Omicron-74).

Then we would also treat Zoner's allies as our allies, friendlies as our friendlies, enemies as our enemies.

However, we would still be separate from Zoners. We do not control their actions, and they do not control our actions, except in our defense of Theta/Omicron 74. If a faction attacked Zoners, we would attack that faction as our part of the deal is to defend them. If AW went after a faction, the Zoners would not assist us in that, as that is an action done solely on our own, not involving the Zoners.

We defend their systems and stations, and in return we get sections of their bases to use.
