First off, you brought a cruiser to a snub brawl, and we brought something to fight back. Second, only one gunboat was [LN]. Third, you weren't alone. You had 3 fighters a bomber, and Planet Hamburg on your side.

So, which is it? I was acting within the rights of the Treaty of Bethlehem in pursuit of the destruction of a criminal facility. I am of course trying to RP this out a little better than just showing up and destroying it this time, but the point stands that I was already within the NFZ when you and your buddies showed up.
And Safe Haven is right. You showed up the first time and resupplied three bombers who were already violating the NFZ by attacking our ships there, and then you got killed when other forces showed up to drive you off. In every single case, Rheinland forces have attacked us within the NFZ. Don't prattle about how you "respect Zoner neutrality" and then attack unless you want your words thrown back in your face.

Except when I showed up, you where about 1k away from FP2, shooting at the PoB. So...the cake is a lie.
So are you claiming that the POB is a Rheinland Military asset? 'cause that's the only way I can see you justifying this. It'd be like saying because I chased a smuggler to FP2 and was shooting him there that you'd have authorization to enter in and shoot me because I was already shooting. Which is bunk. The only way you could claim authorization to shoot is if I was attacking you or your assets. Please tell me the logic that allows you to claim I was doing any of that in the NFZ.

Snub brawl my bum. The fight started out as equivalent snubs. Then you guys fielded gunboats two [LN] tagged gunboats in Bering initially, and I was asked for help. Then another pair of SFC Assaults and a decloaking dread showed up as the fight moved to Hamburg XD
I'm not even counting your snubs here because they were only mobile cd platforms
Long story short you got us good, we didn't get butthurt, then we got you good, then you got butthurt. Chill, it's a game
Also, I'm pretty sure Joe mentioned the treaty of bethlehem being void in a thread or two, or skype. I could go looking if you'd like XD
Also, you didn't pursue anything into the NFZ, unless you're suggesting that you engaged the base outside of the NFZ and then the base ran into it - and you were being an aggressor inside the NFZ, and you were loitering inside the NFZ, which means that you are an exemption to the Freeport NFZ. :| You were given about three whole minutes to clear out, as we just sat there - but you didn't take it so... next time just bring an escort (the [LN] is great at amassing a large force of escorts so it shouldn't be a problem)
The fight started as 3 bombers shooting 2 battleships. One BS died, the other left, leaving it to 3 bombers vs 1 fighter. I brought my [LN] gunboat (the only [LN] gunboat) to balance things out. More RM snubs started showing up, so we called for more fighters. You showed up in a Cap8 cruiser to combat the Cap7 gunboat and 2 fighters, so we called in whatever we could get our hands on, which happened to be 2 SFC gunboats, a cruiser, and a battleship.
:| I think you forgot the LABC and some snubs, but that really is irrelevant. Long story short. If you're in a warzone, and you're shooting at something, prepared to be shot at. I don't know why the notion is difficult enough to warrant a feedback post :|

The LABC is a cruiser, as I mentioned in my last post. And the only snubs we had were an Avenger (who switched to a SFC gunboat), a Spatial, Guardian, and an Eagle.
And normally, it wouldn't warrant a feedback post. I just put it into the "BDM being BDM" folder, as I usually do. The only reason why I posted was because you were telling blatant lies about the encounter to make us look like the bad guy.
