***scratchy tape noises beset with digital interference***
It is with great pleasure that I, *ahem* One William Poxley The Third (The first and second Poxleys were one George Poxley, a 'too close for comfort' friend of my mothers and one Henry Poxley, her husband...), join the esteemed ranks of whatever the bleep the Taz professes (or not) to be.
I am currently without ship due to a freak synth paste barbeque accident which left me neutered, povertus and shipless all in one pitiful kebab!
I am of the opinion that this happened for a reason. The reason is simply for me to understand that sometimes things happen for no reason.
Savvy?
No?
Me neither!
Well then.
you can all call me 'Pox' or 'Poxleh' or 'Bill'. I wont' respond to those names, but at least you will have tried and been better for the experience. (or not).
Upon my saving up for a vessel of some noble sort, I shall embark upon a great journey of self (and Bafflin) discovery.
Upon my arrival I shall, with great pomp, quietly announce my arrival to all present.

Hey! Give a yell when you are mobile and I'll add you to the roster. Always good to have new discordians amongst us.
As for Synth paste, that stuff is awful. Why do you keep in on your ship? If you must keep it, I wouldn't suggest flying where members of the Farmers Alliance in Kusari or the LWB roam in Rheinland.
Anyway, if you need some set up help, just holler.
Okay, for those who aren't aware. There has been a massive change to the way Zoners do business.
I'm not here to discuss how I or anyone else might feel about this change. What I am here to discuss is
exactly how are we going to deal with this drastic change?
As I understand it the change is as follows:
Zoners Cannot dock on any stations/planets/bases in lawful House space except:
Independent Miners Guild (IMG) Bases
Gas Miners Guild (GMG) Bases
Council Bases
Zoner Bases
Planet Erie
This new edict will force us to re think our current strategies and adapt to a new way. Clearly, we will have to explore and map new routes. What I would like to see available to our fellow TAZ members is a clear definition of what is and what is not "Lawful House space", the reasons should be clear. Can we make an effort to get an official word on this?
I propose that, as always, we keep our routes guarded, lest they be abused as they have been in the past, thus resulting in actions that have had an adverse effect upon our community. I see it as adverse, yes. Nevertheless, we must carry on and the flax must flow. I welcome any suggestions and sharing of information within TAZ. I'd be a but skeptical about anyone we don't know.
Let us make sure that we show appreciation for all of the factions we are going to be dealing with so that all TAZ Vessels are met with open arms. Riley and I have supported the continued goodwill with the Corsairs on Crete, and I think that relationship will remain solid.

Nice to hear from you as always, Ms. Kyte.
The way the new changes affect us is ONLY if you carry a Zoner Guard ID. If you do not, nothing has changed. As I understand it, House corporations felt threatened by Zoner Whales flying in and out of their space and taking business so the laws were changed.
Under the law, you may travel as you wish through borderworlds, Omegas and Omicrons as your rep allows. In House areas, you are restricted as follows:
Zoners Cannot dock on any stations/planets/bases in lawful House space except:
Independent Miners Guild (IMG) Bases
Gas Miners Guild (GMG) Bases
Council Bases
Zoner Bases
Planet Erie
Mind you, these restrictions are for the Zoner Guard ID ONLY!
FYI, my Borderworlds DL transport is Zoner tagged so I trade as I always have. I've done well with it.
Ello Brothers, Cousins, Gentlemen, Ladies & Babies. I know I'm horrible at checking in, but now is as good a time as any to catch up...& I promise, I'll keep it short.
For those of you that don't know me, My name is Riley Mackenzie & I fly the Erinloch. I came to the Zoners & specifically the TAZ through Reggie Waverly. In a nutshell, I left my life in Edinburgh after my wife Erin was murdered on Islay & it was Reggie who pulled me out my resulting suicidal spiral by teaching me the tenants of Discordianisim. I do tend to keep myself to myself most of the time, being the anti-social butterfly that I am, but I've been loving my new life in the robes for about two years now.
Well...lately I've been rebuilding everything I once had before, because I had another hard knock a number of months ago when I learned that my best friend back in Edinburgh had died & I sort of snapped again & sold everything off that I owned & went to live alone as a hermit in the Canarian hills.
Anyway, I eventually figured out that was a bad idea & had to come back into the fold.
With a reciprocal financial nudge, Kyte really helped me get back in the black in record time & into my new ZBT (which incedently, is, I think better than my old one) & as she mentioned on the comms here a week or so ago, she & I have been having a great time sharing wingspans every chance we get as we go about our trucking.
So...this is all pretty much the story I'm sticking to up to now, & I want each of you to know that I am at your service at only a word.
My Tadpole is a Zwhale, so I guess what I'm asking is what is the Official "House" space. Because we have plenty of "bases" that are not planets... peppered throughout Sirius. I mean besides the obvious... where there are planets with police bases...like Manhatten, Texas, um Colorado, New Berlin, Etc. Those are pretty obvious. So we can't land basically anywhere in those systems. Obviously Gran C is a no brainer WE own that. But What of The other Systems, outlying that don't have a Police Planet? Like in Kusari... That is what I am trying to determine. What I am asking for is an official NO land system for the guards so that I can basically tailor a schema for trading purposes. My computer is crunching numbers on those systems we can freely operate in, however, there is a bit of grey area I'd like to clean up. The new edict has forced this change and I'm sure others might have similar questions. What is "House" space? Exactly. I would like it very clear so we don't run into some overly excited cabbages in our travels. *gets out the big RED CRAYON and prepares to mark up her map.
Also... given the situation with Appocalypse (sp.), Fyre is wondering if you have any standing orders for her? Her Corvo is docked in Bering at the moment.

Heya, Tazmaniacs!
I heard a report from the Zoner Trading Consortium of three individuals, Azza, Knife and Sera pirating Zoners in front of Freeport 11 and opening fire on those same ships right outside the base. Beware of these scoundrels and do with them as you please.
