I speak here as a player, not as an Admin or a faction leader.
Daedric summed things up for me quite nicely. There is a reason why the OSI, TAZ and the Omicroners are official Zoner factions. We worked at it and we earned the priviledge. Notice that I said Priviledge.
You managed to make enemies with the Bounty Hunters, Red Hessians, SCRA, and you managed to anger us Zoners. I find it entirely too convenient that twice you destroyed another Zoner ship. One you claim was instigated by the Zoner, the other "an accident." You even used Order ships without any sort of request.
I think you all represent a group of mercenaries more than you do Zoners, possibly Corsairs. Even the Corsair factions in this server RP with Zoners more often than not but I mention Corsairs due to the enemy list you have made for yourself. Maybe those are a couple of possible avenues that you should explore. I personally don't feel that you are fit to RP a Zoner. Your actions have proven that.
Quote:I also take issue with your claim to Freeport 11, and thus your role play around it. Cam's character is the supported administrator of Freeport 11. He is supported by all three official factions along with other indy players. I have no problem with someone wanting to role play the admin of a Freeport, so long as it is a freeport someone else isn't already role playing the administrator of.
Players in the community have characters that RP the administrator of a Freeport and for the most part, are supported by the factions. Cam you know about. Before you go laying claim to a Freeport, perhaps you should ask around? Do keep in mind that each Freeport has it's own RP due to location and the various houses and groups around it.
Quote:I think a big part of this was the fact you were skirting Zoner RP just enough to get by. Zoners are not as aggressive as you play them. Sure we'll throw our economic/political weight around if we have to, but we don't park a fleet of cap ships somewhere and declare war. Especially on groups we'd have no chance of winning against.

Quote:For example, Liberty. Liberty should have made a big deal about you blowing up some of their cap ships and stationing two Jinkusu in Penn. Your actions were that of a terrorist. Liberty should have made sanctions against Zoners, which would have meant the Zoner factions would have had to do more forumlancer in order to keep their respective factions role play intact.
I'm glad this didn't happen......again. I've already been through it once with the late Harcourt.Fenton.Mudd!!
I'd also like to address the RPing of a Zoner, an RP that I think is the toughest in the server. (Add due respect to everyone out there as I intend no offense) A lot of major faction players also have a Zoner somewhere. I'll furnish you a list if you want but those players will tell you that it's a whole different style of play. Can we PVP? Sure we can! But it's not our first choice of action! Remember that!
