Grr claimed "CVA has never forced anybody to set anybody else red nor will it ever I expect."
The wriggle room is in the word "forced" - the CVA do(did) require that entities gaining access to their Citadel intel channels cooperate in reporting on, engaging, and unifying standands against their political enemies. Grr will doubtless claim that this was not "forcing" because Providence pets had the right not to come into the Citadel channel - but since that was also required for pos anchoring and various access "rights" the reality is that CVA force neutrals to set red standings towards neutrals to gain access to the old providence.
The entire thread is starting to become ancient history for me somehow in this dynamic universe we live in, and I see less need than ever to post in such historical threads, however...
I think Jade well knows the reality of the CVA kos list and the real autonomy that existed within the various holders, but chooses to maintain this piece of propagander regardless.
While sev3rance did maintain it's own kos list for quite some time, it simply became convenient to share the kos list with CVA as it was generally always the case that anyone on the CVA kos list was very likely to be an entity which would come to the Providence region with the intention to fire of the residents of that said area. The reverse was also true in that the kos list was never a one way street.
This was a convenient and logical arragement and no amount of labeling it 'standings enclosurism' will change the fact that it was simply convenient and logical. Star Fraction will always cry foul that we fired upon them first, and they will blame the CVA for that, however the policies of Star Fraction made it inevitable we would one day cross swords regardless of the CVA.
The core reason for being for Sev3rance is and has always been one of anti-piracy. The policy of Star Fraction is one of anarchy and a concept of 'free space' which translates as their ability to fly into any space and fire upon other entities flying within that space. If that space happens to be Sev3rance space where entities nuetral to Sev3rance all allowed passage, then Star Fraction would be seen as pirates.
So Jade, you well know that it was inevitable that we would be at arms with or without the influence of the CVA. The CVA standing told us only what we already knew all to well.
Now it is true that at times we made some compromises in our standings and ideals for the sake of peace and harmony. Star Fraction is also now finding this is also a reality of living is such space. It is strange how they still accuse us of such when they are now forced to do similar things.
Welcome to reality Jade. I hope your negotiations to carve out your portion of 'free space' go well in the future.
