Personally, I really don't see the issue here.
Zoner Guards are permitted to tell any non-Zoner to leave their space if there isn't another Zoner to challange that order.
It seems you just keep on spreading lies... and more lies...
1. "The problems began when the Apocalypse, in complete disregard to the Paradise, continued on its course and forcefully moored his ship to Freeport 11. As a result, the Paradise fired a warning shot, one and only one, at the Apocalypse Now."
- Saronsen made demand AFTER he fired mortar. Does this reach you in any way? Are you deaf? It seems that you just don't care about chronology of events. And chronology is this particular incident is the most important fact. I've given proofs.
2. "Apocalypse moved to 4.9K and then bragged to the Paradise for refusing to follow his orders." Of course I acted like that, he was giving me insults all the time... And why should I follow orders of some fool who shot at me? I've given proofs.
3. "If anyone wishes to use more Zoner Equipment than our current policies, which may need updated, then they need the permission of the Council as a whole." As I've heard, Council do not exists. Many of respected Zoners left it. I'm sure that whatever is left of it is ran by your poor "leadership." I've given proofs.
4. "I gave a message in this very channel asking if anyone had any objections to applying the current equipment policies towards the Apocalypse ships, and gave two full days for those who wished to to object." Who should I object to, to you? You just don't like me from beginning you started conversation with me. That's your problem. If Tate, or Doc Holiday tell me to do it, I'd sell them all right away. I would even send you the bill of my purchase. I've given proofs.
5."I also informed the Apocalypse ships that they can not base their raids from Freeport 11, nor station their fleets on Freeport 11, but got much the same response." You are a real liar, and you're really starting to irritate me. WE DO NOT STATION OUR SHIPS THERE! We only dock to buy supplies and that's it. Primus is our base of operations, you deceitful idiot! I've given proofs.
6. "I must commend Captain Nighten for keeping his anger at being falsely accused and routinely insulted and taunted by the Apocalypse ships in check. I know many pilots who would have tolerated much less before taking action, but Captain Nighten restrained himself." So you just keep on doing your thing? I did, of course insult him, but only AFTER he was doing the same to me, and I'll add again, fired on me. Everyone seems to neglect that, especially you, Silvan. Him firing at me is controlling his anger? You are a real shame to call yourself Zoner. I've given proofs.
7. "After over an hour of attempted discussion, I politely asked the Apocalypse to leave the area. This was in light that Apocalypse had violated the No-Fire Zone and were continuing to do so. By insulting, taunting, and threatening the Zoners, mainly the Paradise, they were in violation of the No-Fire Zone, as stated by the Official Policies, specifically Section II, Clause 2." Saronsen first DEMANDED that we leave NFZ, and after we did that (after short period of time), you came along DEMANDING that we go beyond 15k. You did that politely? Ahaha... I've given proofs.
8. "Once that happened, the Apocalypse now also fired on my unarmoured transport several times, despite the fact that I hadn't, and couldn't have gotten involved." Aaa... You attacked us. You given that order, and you could have done that flying an Arrow for all I care. Anyway, why are you complaining about? I fired one shot and you retreated back to FP; did I keep on firing at you there? I've given proofs.
9. " For one, an announcement made by former-Chairman Doc Holiday towards the Apocalypse stated that they were not allowed to station their vessels on any Zoner stations." Irrelevant, because we station our ships at Primus. I've already mentioned that.
10. " The Apocalypse Now opening fire on the Order Carrier Megalith." Did cmdr. of that vessel told you how many times he attacked me before this happened? You probably just don't wanna hear about it because it wouldn't suit you.
11. "Somehow, the Apocalypse ships were using prototype engines or some other equipment, for their battleship was moving at speeds up to 400ms." That a legal maneuver you are clearly not familiar with. You can do it on every capital ship vessel but it seems you lack knowledge of it. And it was not 400 liar, it was MINUS 350!!! And trust me, during this maneuver I don't engage cruise engines.
12. "They were cruising and ramming Saron with the BS and using it to propel the Apoc_Now at 400ms while still shooting.. Report was filed.." Rammins Saronsen? He was going toward me, me towards him.. Isn't he performing ramming as well? How poorly minded arguments you got there.
Aurelia Silvan, there, I've commented all of your "proofs" and untruthful accusations. What about you doing the same for mine? Again: I'VE PROVIDED PROOFS of Saronsen and you attacking me, treating me without respect, making unreasonable demands acting like no Zoner ever did towards me. How come you are the only ones? I'll ask again: how come we only "have" trouble with you? That's because you act like pirates, you don't prefer diplomacy over hostility. You are no different than scum who are robbing honest traders in Sirius everyday.
I feel sorry for you: you are so poorly informed, blindly side-taking, unbiased, full of shallow hate which you cover up with your false diplomatic charisma that pulls you through. You will probably get approval by many real Zoners who will you trick along the way, but trust me: those who are really respected, wise and objective, and I mean really, will never trust you or that fool Saronsen for whom I've heard had problems with Zoners before. Isn't that strange. You are protecting an idiot and creature of errors. Really sad.
Those whose confirmations I didn't receive, especially those from hunters (whom I never reported) who blew me out into pieces in NFZ while Saronsen was watching in incident prior to this one - bare you own shame. Those whose confirmations, approvals and supports I've gotten and who politely asked to not to reach public - I salute you! It's the same as you fought side by side in a battle with me! I salute you! It's the same as you bled by my side, and me by yours. I salute you! It's the same like you spilled it out to the whole world right in its corrupted face! No difference. So noble, so dignified! I wish world was weaved by that kind of men. In that kind of world, I would have no place.
[Fired up matchstick is heard and he lights up a cigarette.]
I've always preferred to be hated, in one way or another, but not by people whom I respect, of course. How can one man act after of years of witnessing lies, deceptions, false accusations, pillaging, murdering... Years of horrors... [bows down his head looking at a glimpse of sunlight reflected on one of the medals on his uniform] How can one just sit and do nothing while all the unfairness is taking place all around? Only morale, persons with courage, would rise up against all odds. And if cause is right, and it is, his/her reflection will become... eternal and everlasting. Enemies who fall and who have fallen bellow my feet will never know of pain of us who are left behind, they will never know of burden of the pain which I tag along in my, it seems futile, crusade to make things right.
[Now he raises his head, his eyes are turned into 2 massive supernovas. He's filled with pride, anger, destruction... He's filled with horrors of now]. So, to all those who think I will just sit and do nothing - you so are wrong. You got 40 hours left to apologize, all 3 of you. You will not do that, I'm sure. Too bad that my burden will become even heavier after killing more innocent souls aboard any vessel who will engage me.
Now I'm exiting this deceitful "diplomatic" territory of yours, Aurelia Silvan. And right about now, you've entered mine. Beware.

Ladies and Gentlemen, as a witness to the event, I can see that the Apoc were fairly hostile, and were not being reasonable. Had they wished to be reasonable, they'd have backed off when asked to and awaited clarification on their so called "permission" to use the freeport. Instead they forcibly docked.
To the Zoner council, I regret that the Thunderbay could not render assistance, as our computers fell victim to a virus (//net died) sent by a keeper vessel that was operating in the area. Had we been battle capable, we'd have likely aided your vessels if necessary, and at the least aid with the negotiations.

Too bad you are too ignorant to analyse proofs I've provided and judge only after. Too bad you weren't there to "render assistance" as well. In that case, you'd find yourself in need of assistance. And furthermore, too bad you shove your nose where you're not suppose to. Something terrible might happen to you for spreading lies.

Today, I witnessed a fairly large group of your clutter the space around Freeport 11. As soon as a Corsair fleet arrives, they go insane and begin to charge in with little to no warning!
It gets better.
You, Sir, are an absolute loon. Coming in with the cryptic words:
*His voice plays*: The horror...The horror...
What the hell does that even mean? Do us a favor and get out of our space. We want nothing to do with you.

This is fairly simple, Kurtz, you violated our laws. The captain of the Paradise was well within his rights as a member of the CoZ to deny you docking rights to the Freeport. Regardless of if he insulted you or not, you are bound to listen to him by our laws. Him insulting you is not cause for you to break our laws. You forcible docked to Freeport 11 and stole supplies.
Quote:As I've heard, Council do not exists. Many of respected Zoners left it. I'm sure that whatever is left of it is ran by your poor "leadership." I've given proofs.
Would you like me to call Doc for you? You are clearly deranged, just because some Zoners left the Council doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The fact you are talking to a handful of them on this Comm channel seems to contradict what you are saying in the above quote. You know the Council exists, you are simply playing dumb.
Quote:Who should I object to, to you? You just don't like me from beginning you started conversation with me. That's your problem. If Tate, or Doc Holiday tell me to do it, I'd sell them all right away. I would even send you the bill of my purchase. I've given proofs
Let me quote something for you since you don't seem to be able to understand it:
Quote:Below is a copy of a message I gave to the Council of Zoners regarding this incident. It should answer any questions people have over this incident, but if not feel free to tell me.
This message wasn't directed at you. It was put here so you would know that the CoZ is currently reviewing your case with all the proofs you and others have submitted.
Quote:You are a real liar, and you're really starting to irritate me. WE DO NOT STATION OUR SHIPS THERE! We only dock to buy supplies and that's it. Primus is our base of operations, you deceitful idiot! I've given proofs.
Excuse me if I don't believe you, when I myself have seen you preparing for raids around our Freeports. Excuse me for thinking that the fact that three to four of your ships sitting near a our Freeports look ALOT like you preparing for a raid. If you were just getting supplies why did it take ALL of you to do so? Do you not have anyone that makes supply runs from Primus for you? If you move from Primus to a Freeport and buy supplies for a raid, then go on said raid. You have in effected based said raid from said Freeport. Hire someone to run supplies for you.
Let me warn you against following through on this:
Quote:Liar. You've got 48 hours to apologize... You and your two-faced buddies... If 3 of you don't apologize, manhunt will begin... And it will end up for you like it was this time... In defeat. Kurtz out.
You ask for apologizes yet give none yourself. You broke our laws. Make ammends for your actions.
The fact that many many Zoners and non-Zoners alike have seen you making raids from our Freeports is proof in and of itself. No need for actual gun cam shots. If it was one or two I would want a shot of it but it is numerous (Myself included) people that witness you using our Freeports to base raids out of.
If you want to resupply fine. The line is drawn when your entire wing resupplies at once and then leaves to raid. In essence you based the raid out of the port you resupplied at. Again, I will advise you to get a supply runner so you don't have to bring your entire wing to a port at once.
Also, as I have already said and knowing you don't always catch what is said I will say it again. The Council is currently reviewing your case. Expect to hear back from us. I also expect you to make ammends for the clear violation of our laws. Don't give me the excuse Sarosen insulted you so why should you listen to him, either. If you are in our space, you abide by our laws, regardless of how mean the enforcer is.

This is Captain Izii, one of the Zoners present at the incident that sparked the conflagration of arguments and hostile intents. It was I who sighted the "Apocalypse" group battleship. I was in my personal Virage at the time, and as that implies, yes I was on personal business until I sighted the battleship lingering around Freeport 11. The relevant image as follows.
Rather than bore anyone listening on one this communicae, I will merely unload my datanet's recordings of the situation, something the aforementioned has yet to do in full. If you'll pardon the excess amount, I tend to be thourough and use the overlapping data logs to confirm my continuity and truthfulness of these events.
Pardon the longevity of the logs, though as I mentioned before, in cases such as this, I wish to be fully accountable and ready. This is merely a bank of logs until the more experienced Council member came and took over.
All I wish to point out, captain of the "Now" battleship, is you ignored my attempts to be peaceful and an impartial mediator, and in your hurried, heated actions you have tossed my name in with others calling me shameful and demanding an apology. None will be given for doing my duties as a member of the Zoners Guard. Let there be some mote of honor and truth in you after reviewing these logs.
Captain Izii out.

With all due respect, Mr. Kurtz, I do not need to review your so called "proofs" as I was present during most of the altercation, I did review what you sent over the wireless. It was clear you were there simply to provoke some sort of attack. It seems apparent there are some pieces logs missing, that you appear to have forgotten to post.
Your group has been a pain in the side of every organization that operates in the Omicrons, it would do us all a great favour to be rid of you. You may wish to take what ships you have left, and find a corner of Sirius to lay low for sometime, before you lose all your toys.

Iâll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because itâs flag that I love
And a flag that I trust
Kuthumii,
You are twisting "facts" as you see fit... How many of your friends in certain factions have I killed? Are you the one of those who holds grudge? Oh, yeah. Come on, I like it that way.
Anyway, concerning Zoner Council, are you aware that 90% of respected Zoners resigned from their Council positions? At the time of incident, I had no such informations. I thought it existed like it always did. Later I've found out that new one was "self elected". Doc resigned due to health problems which were caused by him worrying too much about these new kind of Zoners, who are just bunch of unobjective, hostile, ego-maniacs.
This proof is taken AFTER I've been fired upon. It shows nothing except how I don't like to fired upon without prior warning, in NFZ, like no one does.
I said "I'm doing missions, is that OK?" Isn't that a polite question? And Saronsen responds with "Let your buddy pick em up for you" Why did he say that? I didn't do anything wrong. Why can't I pick my own mission? My "buddy" perhaps don't know which missions to pick that are including to fight against capital ships.
Saronsen "I'm a part of newly formed Council". Based on what I've heard this "elected" Council has been self elected. I was NOT aware of it at the present moment.
I said "2 of Council members informed of you". That is true. Although, I'll repeat, I didn't know that they are no longer Council members. There have been complaints of Saronsen's behaviour in the past. I won't mention names due to promise I made to them, but perhaps they will speak for themselves after they see what are all of you trying to achieve here.
I see nothing unclear here.
Saronsen: "You are to leave immediately" This a not nice approach of him. I said "You have no right no forbidden me anything" and, considering I've heard about his shady career among Zoners from other Zoners, I didn't feel like I should listen to Saronsen, who proven himself that by firing on this second occasion. Why should I? I never saw a Zoner firing at anyone without prior warning. I didn't feel, like many of you would, that this "Zoner" needs to be listened. He's clearly out his mind, taking this personally.
"This is you last time, now move it. " says Saronsen. Hm... Didn't Aurelia Silvan announced that Saronsen was patient? Why did he brake apart so soon then? And on this "proof" you can also see that he says "I have no patience for you" Does that mean he has patience for everyone else except me? Isn't that... personal? Hehe.
This Jinx part it true also.
I said "You opened fire on me again, Saronsen. You have no right to do that." This only proofs that he did, and after I said that, he didn't even respond because he had nothing to say about it. He didn't even say by lying "I warned you first. " NO, he didn't do that because he never did warn me.
Cpt. Izzi "He asked you politely to get a safe distance from FP" Isn't FP a safe haven? By the way, why didn't you say here that he did that after firing at me, or at least what I told you that happened? You know why you didn't say that? Because you weren't sure yourself whether he fired at me first or didn't. You don't know what exactly happened and you are pointing fingers at me. Back then I also said that "You are not aware of his acts in the past". So, cpt Izzi, ARE YOU AWARE of his acts in the past? How can you know what happened, lets say a week, or 2 weeks before? Did he say to you how he was bragging at FP how he can defeat me in "battle simulation"? Did he also say to you how we did that battle simulation and that he can't stand the site of me after losing against me back then? No. You don't know who are you protecting. You just see me a violator but you never asked yourself who is the real violator. Tz, tz, tz...
Saronsen here also said that you are Council delegate... Hm... Wait a minute... Didn't Aurelia Silvan told me that she's already (self) elected? Haha.
Cpt Izzi: "If you are in disagreement over an order he's given to you, consider his shot a warning shot." Again, you idiot, HE FIRED FIRST, then issued a warning after! Has it ever occurred to you he did what I said he did? Did you see him telling you otherwise during this incident? He didn't even said "No, I fired after". Isn't that strange, ask yourself that.
Saronsen: "Here, Colonel, you can talk to the Chairman of the Zoner COuncil. I'm sure you'll listen to him.". Wait a minute... He said before, as shown on YOUR proofs (CHECK IT OUT YOUR OWN PROOFS!), that Chairman hasn't been elected. After, he also said YOU Cpt Izzi are one of delegates? So, you are a delegate although Chairman has already been elected? WHAT A...? And I should listen to them/you although they don't who's a Chairman and has he/she been elected in the first place?
I said "You can't order me that (to remove myself), Council members informed of that." Yes, they told me, but I didn't know then that they are no longer members of Council, as 90% of them already resigned due to... Well, those who resigned know why they did it.
He can't order me, not by any morale standards, to remove myself after being fired first at me. No way. By doing so, he definetly explained his stance against me, which is HOSTILE.
I said: "So let's get out of NFZ and you show me." This only proofs that I'd take hostility out of NFZ. But IF anyone analysed MY proofs I provided before, it will show you that they engaged me WITHIN NFZ, while I was, at THAT time of engagement, out of NFZ.
I see nothing here to compromise me, except the fact that Cpt Izzi doesn't mention (he didn't see it of course) that, I REPEAT, fired FIRST at and only after fired shot, I docked. That AGAIN proves I've been doing missions and that I needed to dock in order to repair.
Me: "Both of you will be reported to the Council" of which I possessed no facts (I'll say it again) that it doesn't function "properly". But ALL OF YOU should ask yourself this... How come I reported them, publicly, first? I actually waited 4, 5 hours to do that. If they are SOOOOOOO right, why didn't they report ME? THAT'S BECAUSE THEY NEVER DID KNOW WHAT THEY WERE DOING!!!! They weren't sure in the end if they acted like they should. In the end, they knew they made a mistake. That's why they were afraid to report, they thought I'd just forget all about this. Sounds reasonable? Who cares, right? Now they're just using all of you to cover up their mistakes.
He kept calling me captain in order to provoke me and I kept telling him I'm colonel. So what now? Zoners are dealing with provocations these days?
Saronsen: "Good for you, shove on off now." You see, he's polite whole this time... Oh, yes, he reflects his good upbringing.
Saronsen: "If you want to have it my way, I'd prefer 10 clicks". Aaaaaaaaaa... Has anyone actually SEEN my proofs? First he says 5, then he says 10, and after Eanai Trela came, they said 15 clicks. WILL THEY MAKE UP THEIR MIND??? Oh, yes. They act like "real" Zoners, except that these ones don't know what to think and when to think it.
Eanai.Trela: "Actually the law is that we can tell you to stop loitering around our Freeports at any time." I wasn't loitering. Saronsen himself told all of you that I only docked. I wasn't loitering. Heh.
Eanai.Trela: "If you do not comply you'll be punished accordingly" Threat about something I never did? Oh yes, punishment did follow, but it was you who were punished by ma turrets, not me.
This proof shows that Cpt Izzi had no informations about what happened before in the first place....
So there you go, you damn 3 fools: I've answered all your "proofs". But who cares, right? Will anyone even read it? Haha. I know that probably no one will, and those who will, and who might actually agree that I provided solid proofs, and that I answered with logic against of those of party involved, shall probably do NOTHING! You just sit in your cocoons, pretending that this truth do not touch you from inside. It will touch you one way or another, sometimes, in another incident. Tomorrow something similar might happen to you and you'll know I feel right now.
But I care. I care. You've got 23 hours left, and after that... 3 of you fools better change names of your vessels, because I will hunt you down like two-faced dogs that you are.
