Old topic i guess.. i think what the op is objecting to is the Coalitions use of the word "free trade zone". Which it isnt and its a bit of a joke that the coalition (not TCF in particular) insists on using the term "free". Im quite sure who ever came up with the concept isnt stupid enough to not know what the word means, and in this case having to be blue to the coalition doesnt quite justify calling it a free tradezone on these forums (which are public to all eve users). In the context of these forums it can only be called a "free tradezone for coalition allies and friends". Not to flamebait but i can only assume that this persistent use of the term "free trade zone" is yet another attempt by the coalition to appear as the 'liberators' (which any1 who's played eve for more than 6 months knows is a bit of a laugh isnt it..). The op prolly did this just to make a point.. a valid one tho'..

well old threat imho but .... i think what the kriger is objecting to is the Coalition use of the word "free trade zone". Which it isnt in his opinon (0.0 anyone?)and its a bit of a joke that he writes a comment saying the coalition insists on something which is already manifested. Im quit sure what ever he wants to say has soemthing to do with a war and lies and he isnt stupid enough to believe his own words, and in this case to be -10 to the coalition doesnt quit justify to post comments from an impartial view about anything the coalition does on these forums (which are public to all eve users). In the context of these forums it can only be called a 'troll'. Not to flaimbait but i can only assume that this persistent trolling is yet another attempt by COW to appear as the 'pwnsors' (which any1 who's played eve for more than 6 months knows is a bit of a laugh isnt it..) The Kriger prolly did this just to make a war.. a valid one tho'..
 love it completely misguided but made me laugh nonetheless ;) not sure what COW has to do with this and how anything in this could portray COW as quote 'pwnsors' but im guessing we've ****ed u off..? i have noticed recently how pretty much any posts by us, no matter topic nor content, attracts a swarm of misplaced, often rather juvenile responses from obvious coalition alts unless u can point to a valid argument as to how the term 'free trade zone' is applicable, ill have to point the troll finger back at u kiddo

Like in the 21st century earth, Free Trade Zone means people inside the zone can trade freely, i.e. it's an agreement between different sovereign entities to remove borders within the trade zone. People outside said zone, therefore not part of the free trade zone, cannot access "freely" to the free trade zone.
Correct. Yet you mix up the difinitions, unless the coalition has removed all taxes etc from sales? and afaik this isnt what is being 'offered'. its just a case of all _allies_ being allowed to dock at all stations (and whats so unusual about that in 0.0 btw?). consequently applying the real world term 'free trade zone' to what the coalition calls 'free trade zone' ingame is misplaced and what is being offered cant be called more than a 'all blues have docking rights zone' :) Also in real world tradezones, non-traders dont get shot for parsing through ;) i suppose that would be the most noteworthy difference in any case ;) be carefull with the real world analogies.. eve is too simplified to use those as arguments (pseudo since arguments by analogy rarely are actually valid).

You can argue however you wish, but the Free Trade Zone IS what we call a free trade zone in RL. It's not the same as free beer.
I think we can only agree to disagree then ;)
IMO the term doesnt apply even remotely - its a free dock zone, not a free trade zone unless u want to make a new seperate definition of it for eve ingame use. However since what the coalition is offering has already been seen before, just not under that phrase, that rly wouldnt make much sence would it? and if u insist.. one has to wonder y u want to redefine it? Generally applyng real world logic to ingame mechanics is misguiding given the context, and signals something _some_ may interpret incorrectly. Now we can all laugh and point fingers at the sobs who r silly enough to actually enter coalition 0.0 thinking they wont get shot. I couldnt rly care less. I merely find it iteresting how the coaltion likes to depict themselves, the socalled 'free trade zone' being one of those (twisted) indications :)
