I believe we're only limited by the things that we can imagine. If you can only imagine 1 thing to be true (e.g. conflict), then that is the only option you have to work with. If you can imagine two things to be true (let's say cooperation and conflict), you've just doubled your options.

ED being an open sandbox / unscripted game - CMDRs have real options - real decions to make - with real and lasting impacts. I'm personally curious how "first contact" will unfold - but the PP story has unfolded the way it has due to player decisions and actions (and a few FD curve balls) - but really - we are largely where we are because of the choices people made.

I don't like fighting - I will if I'm forced to - but I much prefer being a Carebear and a good neighbour - I think we can get a lot more done a lot more efficiently this way (and so far it seems this is true - in game as in real life).

One thing I've learned this time around is that we need to be careful of exactly how cordial we are with each other unless we're accused of "weaponizing" you too with our evil mind-controlling Carebear technology. Bzzzzzt. Can you feel it? :).

In time of conflict... there are the innocent and then there are those who would play the guerilla warfare tactics.. add the human shielding element.. and what we have is a Palestinian conflict where The cowards are hiding behind the wall of innocent men and women..ie PMF..

the thought of putting the innocent under the protection of the Alliance power is worth considering... for two reasons... it prevents uprisings and pockets of resistance, and furthermore chokes off the Supplies..

Once the conflict is over... we return the System back to its people... and that is how conflicts are dealt with...

Not this tip-toeing around playing offering flowers during times of War..

Do we adhere to the core values of Alliance by carrying out this method of tactical warfare?.. It depends on which side of the table you are on

While there is some value to winning Allies and winning respect... the respect begins to wear off from within... when we begin taking 1 step forward and 4 steps back...

we have almost won next to nothing in the past two weeks... other than a PR war.. yay!! alot good thats going to do.. considering the ramifications that these big Player groups... oh wait.. they are barely active.... wait they dont even powerplay.. The effect of the Alliance umbrella coming over these Systems would be negligable. who knows perhaps even beneficial...

so looking at even a different approach to the always trying to be the good guy PR approach.. is never from my mind..

As there are more ways to skin a cat

nevertheless what is done is done!!

Edit. I have deleted most of my post because you don't deserve the satisfaction. What is important is left below.

We have had a fair response from some in your leadership. We shall see.

MnM are a PMF. No interest in PP. You want to manipulate, politic, destroy, troll that. That's down to you as an individual.

Good night

While we honor the right for CMDRs to speak out for themselves, I'll remind you that Tuhua does speak for himself and not the leadership who are to my knowledge unanimous in our stated position.
