Zoner Bounty RP

[n00bl3t]

Well to be honest its about time you lot had an uprising and did something about defending yoruselves otherwise your going to be pushed around by the entire server soon.

Id suggest parking a dozen juggies at New London and demanding the queen wipe your bums with her lips.

I await Yev and Doc's discussion in Skype.

Could we make this part of an event?

No, that would actually make it role-playing, as opposed to a response to power-gaming.

Zoners do not start wars.
Zoners just build Freeports.
Freeport Cambridge, Freeport New London, Freeport Leeds...

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.

Most of the Zoners are Indies, the most of the Indies are Powertraders, the most of the Powertraders are Idiots and Lolwutters. There is no need to flame a whole Fraction because there was a lolboat. I dont hate the whole Liberty Navy because of LNS-*Censored*, i dont hate the Rheinland Military because of an RNC-*Censored*.

Then buckle down and be grateful that this bounty is thinning the ranks of said powertraders hiding behind your hard-won RP. Maybe they'll actually learn that even if one is on his trade ship earning money, he is obliged to roleplay if interacted with rather than choose to ignore and run away silently.

I'm sorry, but I'm highly critical of trade characters using a 'neutral' IFF to coast through play sessions, relying on diplomacies they do nothing to contribute to, only using the tag as a 'Get Out Of Having To Roleplay' card so they can run max-profit runs and quickdock to their heart's content.

There is a silver lining. This is chasing off faction freeloaders. And heaven forbid that peoples' well-established characters don't get their trees shaken once in a while rather than just shaking fingers warningly at pirates who gun down an indy who can only type "NEUTRAL DONT SHOOT" at Hessians as he runs Super Alloys into Rheinland.

Meh. For all I care, Bretonia doesn't exist. If they want to powergame, they can have a taste of it as well.

From now on, the Freedom will consider the systems of Leeds, New London, Edinburgh, and Manchester to be Zoner-only systems, and that any ship identifying itself with any independent Bretonian "government" is simply making things up. Here's an example of a ship that violated Planet New Gran Canaria's 500k No-Fire Zone.

Bretonia needs to earn its territory, right? Not that canon RP counts or anything when it gets in the way of pvp-whoring.

Just nipping in to say: "For christ's sake, don't tar us all with the same bloody brush."

@Rudo:

it is up to no one to decide who deserves to be punished for "bad roleplay" but the admins based on the rules.

the QCP thing does not help the zoners, it twists the zoner RP.

if i "thought" that the RP of the BAF was bad, it wouldn t be good to gather some bullys and hang around their places shooting them down till they give up and leave the game. - and bath in the sunshine of self rightousness saying "all i did was weeding out the bad crops - you should THANK me!"

again - roleplay should work on both ends. - and when i notice that the other side i try to roleplay with ( in the very case i am actually interested in roleplaying and not in satisfying my personal grudge ) doesn t like it.... i stop. i don t insist on playing. when i see that my attacks, NO MATTER how i justify them in RP causes only bad feelings, i stop - that is the sensible thing to do. if i fail that - i fail a very important social lesson.

I'm not telling you cant shoot at Zoners. Well you can but you might have to live with Concequenses. As in no No-Fire Zone for you. You can also be stated as unlawful by your Government. Things as killing a Zoner with Cardamine on board are fine with me, but me for example: I am flying around Sirius, enjoying my Neutrality, talking to people I never talked to, seeing things i would never see if i wouldnt make a Character for that. Yesterday i was talking to a SCRA, and first i thought he is going to shoot me down. But he warned me of the System i was going to Jump into. I talked to him, he talked to me.

Why put a Bounty on a Faction which is Neutral to everyone and having no RP in the Post? It's so confusing. I dont know what people made wrong that people but Bounties on all of us.

Yes, Powertraders are mostly not Roleplaying and then moaning about being Shot Down in front of Alaska. But you cant go say: "Zoners are Powertraders, let's put a Bounty on them" Which the first Bounty Post reallly looked like.

I can't even read past page 1 of the whiners trying to justify undoing years of established RP in the name of "I wanna do it no matter what's been done before or how it upsets the balance."

First of all, I'll point out that I've not had a hand in these doings from either side. I wasn't in the server at the time. My views on this are not biased from a victim's point of view at all, simply pointing out obvious things that everyone should already know.

Game Mechanics:

• Bretonians don't go to Omega-49. Period. The Bounty thread tried claiming O-49 as a Bretonian system and it is not. Bretonians go to Dublin to fight Mollys and are too busy with them to explore further. They just don't have any other viable route they'd use. Poole? that's a Guard system that the buccaneers shouldn't have access to.
  
• Buccaneer ZOI is the Tau systems. O-49 is not in the Taus.
  
• Zoners are a LAWFUL faction and, therefore, any bounty placed on them is UNLAWFUL. (The bounty was claimed to be a lawful bounty.) This would be the same as if someone were to place a "lawful" bounty on, say, the LPI because "they have a history of taking bribes and being corrupt." (which they do)
  
• Zoners are not, as much, providing safe havens as they are keeping the peace in their little corner of space. By the way, did you also make a "lawful" bounty on IMG players? They own FP4 and there are missions for Liberty Rogues, among others, on that base.
  

This was nothing short of inventing a shameless reason to gun down defenseless Whales and wreck any semblance of role play for Zoners.

• <strike>Buccaneer</strike> Privateers ZOI is the Tau systems. O-49 is not in the Taus.

Fixed.

Note: Bretonian Buccaneers are not to be confused with Queen Carina's Privateers.

For all of you apparently deaf and blind Zoners, I'll give you this boldly and clearly so as not to confuse you. The BAF and Bretonia has nothing to do with the QCP any more. The BAF and Bretonia has nothing to do with the Zoner bounties. The BAF and Bretonia bears no ill-will towards the Zoners due to the Port Jackson Treaty and Lease. There is no point bashing Bretonia for what the Privateers do, because we have no control over them.

As a group they're fully autonomous because they've been exiled (and the government wants nothing to do with them because they're liabilities) and as players they're autonomous, because, well - you try controlling Blunt. Deal with the people that are causing the problems, not others that had nothing to do with it.

1) Read Gran Canaria's infocard. There is a Bretonian presence there. Player RP states there is a Bretonian settlement there, in the form of Port Jackson. The details of this treaty and settlement were descided upon by the Zoner Council. The treaty allows Bowex ships into the system and their escorts.

2) Stop besmirching the Buccaneer's good name. You want the Privateers/QCP.

3) Zoners are a lawful faction in much the same way as the Junkers are. They provide safe-havens for criminals, they fence stolen goods from said criminals, they resupply said criminals, they smuggle, they breach embargoes - the list goes on. The Zoners' 'lawful' status is arguable at best. Just because you don't kill people, doesn't stop you being a criminal.

Our RP is that which states that Bretonia does know?
