First off lets clear some things up.. This was not about trading or taxing, it was about a diplomat from another faction, trying to contact an elder of TBH. It seems from the information I recived from my sorces, that the ICO is trying to gain the release of some of thier personel who were captured by TBH forces. This is a purly diplomatic matter. There is absolutly no reason the SCRA should have interfered. This is another in a long line of SCRA hostilites against the wishes of TBH, from the Benitez, to LDDLG, OPG, everytime TBH have attepted to talk to anyone but SCRA, we are sabatoged. We need to stand up for ourselves.
Also I think it is intrsting how independent corsairs are now being mentioned, being that it was not too long ago, we had to stop SCRA forces from destroying any independent corsair they saw fit.
Before anyone now starts to fight, I want to ask something. I think it's time for a voting about this.
The question: Who wants to blow ICO vessels in Gamma up?
Leave a message with Yes or No.
Another rule: Don't fight, this will be a civilized democratic voting. I don't want to see a fight here, clear?
The voting will go on for 2 weeks. Every Corsair is free to vote, but only ONCE. After this we'll decide if the deal with ICO will be scrapped or not.

Senors, over the past few days I have received disturbing reports of an irrupting conflict between The Brotherhood of Crete, and the Coalition Army.
My response to these reports is a simple one; I don't want any part of your squabbling.
If the brotherhood wish to deny Sr. Ares access to his family in Crete, know that you will do so without the support of mine. Our ships will not assist you in driving the Coalition away. Neither will we support the Coalition if they attempt to force their way back without the Brotherhood's consent.
We will continue to be friendly with both groups. I refuse to be drawn into this conflict.
To: Corsairs
From: Pilot Alonso de Contreras, alias Apricot
Yes.
Reason :
Because they are lawfuls.
They are Bounty Hunters. They are Military.
Enough reasons.

I would like more information. What is "The Deal", what is it that ICO asks for, what do they offer? We should need to know more then that they are "lawfuls". We have freinds and Allies who are "Lawful". Where would we be without the order, we also dont go around attacking Kusari lawfuls, although we could. I'm sorry, I can't make an informed vote without more information. If this is sensitive information, may I suggest you explain to TBH over private comm channels.

i vote yes. when i see any ICO ship in gamma they will see fire from my guns.and when i meet them outside gamma,i make the same.i can not accept any try of neutrality from someone who has bh ships and bh id.
and i am wondered,how is possible that elders are thinkin of something with bounty hutners.i am sure that noone from corsair nation will thinkin of something like that.kill them!kill them all!they are bounty hunters!
and to the coalition,many of them save many time my live.and i am sad from this situation.

Let me remind you that it has never been one sided, yes the SCRA have helped defend Crete but the Brotherhood has given much support in return.
Yes mistakes have been made, a rash decision to let ICO trade in Gamma was a mistake but one any of us could have made, at the time of this deal Montoya did not have all the information needed to make the right choice, it was only after that it come to light that they where switching IDs.
The Corsairs need to stand on our own two feet for once, quite a few times the SCRA have got in the way of the Brotherhoods friendships with other Corsair factions (Benitez, OPG) and it was brushed under the carpet, its time for the Corsair people to remember what we are and thats a strong faction that can and will look after itself.
The vote seems pointless to me, of course any Corsair is going to kill the BH scum, thats not really the point, the deal was made before Montoya new that so the deal with them is VOID.
I also find it amusing the stance from the independent corsairs aswell as the Benitez after everything they have done to you.
I wish no hostiles with the SCRA and i thank them for there help just as they should thank us for theres but its time we move on.
