Borialis has been a center for peaceful commerce and trade for years now. By this move, Omni-Tek signals their contempt for the citizens of Borialis and the Neutral population as a whole as well as the population of Rubi-ka, Neutral, Clan or Omni. We cannot stand by and watch these corrupt corporate monkeys take our city. I say take it back, by force if necessary, as looks increasingly likely.

There is a war ongoing between the rightful lease holders of the planet and the criminal undertoe of rebel scum (namely clan). As has been pointed out, OT do not need permission from the neutrals (read rebel sympathizers) to move troops into Borealis, they have the right as defined by their lease of the planet.
Neutrals are tolerated on RK, nothing more. For a long time I have stated that if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem and by definition, a neutral cannot be part of the solution, therefore, they are part of the problem.
Neutral's need to shut up and listen to the words being spoken and to heed the actions of OT as a warning. If you side with the rebels we will take your land (well actually it is ours already), your homes, your business' and your lives.
The response to the patrols in Borealis today have only emphasized the need for them. Anyone who attacks OT Staff, whether they be shop owners or Unicorn Specialists, will not be tolerated, as was graphically illustrated by our fine elite servicemen and women in Borealis this very day.
The rebels will be stopped and anyone who dares to stand in the way or harbour these vermin in anyway, will be dealt with as treasonous pigs, at the cost of their lives.
Long Live Omni Tek
In the face of an imminent and insurmountable alien threat, I could MAYBE potentially understand the presence of an omni (or even clan) force if they were there solely to defend Borealis and not assume control.
There isn't one, and O-T never does anything that does not involve control. Never has, and never will.
What makes the intentions crystal clear and completely and utterly unacceptable is the presences of a monstrosity near the whompas and the associated omni-tek recruiter. If there was ever any doubt that this was an occupation and not merely "assistance", the presence of these two provides it in a crystal clear manner.
The ICC has caved in to O-T lies or pressure. I'm not sure which. And once again, the neutrals are the ones who pay the price.

There are several things wrong with your claim that this is fair pay back. One, Tir is a Clan city not a neutral city. It was not as if Silverstone was running Neutrals out of their homes, Tir has always been the seat of Clan politics.Originally Posted by malewerecat
Two, from what I have heard in responce to this even the people of Borealis are being slain along with clan members.
Mind you, I am not defending Silverstones actions, but the closure of a Clan city to all Omni and neutral people is not the same as Omni-Tek taking over a neutral city and closing it to the Clans and many of the neutral peoples.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it is has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Yesterday there was no Omni military presence in this city and today there is...doesn't sound all that slow to me. The citizens of Rubi Ka who chose to stay out of this have just lost their city.
Don't spew out "protecting the city" or try to convince the rest of the planet that Omni Tek is just "helping out". How close has Borealis ever come to falling to the alien attacks? There are more than enough Clan, Neutral, and Omni members in the city at any given time to defend against an alien attack.
It sounds more like Borealis needs to be defended from the Omni Tek threat rather than some "possible" alien attack.
Let's just sit by and wait until Omni Tek takes over another area. Maybe we should let Omni just have Newland and the desert and save them the trouble.
No need to worry, they're just HELPING....right?

My recent fortune cookie read: "Courage comes through suffering"
My question is How courageous am I supposed to get??
Typical of Omni-Tek to use 'protection' as the reason for oppression. Borealis used to be such a nice city where everyone could mingle without fear of reprisal. Now it is just another Omni-Tek wasteland. Hopefully the neuts will heed this and take back their city, and let it be a shining beacon again for all Rubi-Ka citizens.
Until then...
Up Clans!!!
[i have one OOC thing to say to this...the neutral people need to stop taking this so personally and remember that FC has a story they are trying to follow. The policital and military reasons were abundant for Omni-Tek to make a grab at Borealis. If you plan on quiting just because all hell is about to break lose (which FC has been pointing to for an untold number of months now) then you shouldn't hae been playing the game in the first place. This is an mmoRPG, if you want to do something then do it in Role Play and make a difference in game and don't bitch about a damn brilliant move by FC to get everyone pissed off IC. If you can't understand why FC did this, then I am suprised that you even decided to roleplay in the first place.]
Omni-Tek protects their interest. They have had their mind set on years, it is not suprising that they have finally made a grab now.
May the sands wash away your sins
This does put a damper on the parties that take place at Reet's Retreet. Now some other path is going to have to be found by the Clanners other than going through Borealis grid to the Whampa to get to Reets.
And just who are you to make such a self righteous comment as that? My reasons for playing are my own. Just because a change suits you, it does not make it suitable for others. Maybe you should climb down off your high horse and take a look around. People are quitting the game here. Does that not matter to anyone? People are neutral because they enjoy being so. FC decides to marginalize or eliminate neuts, folks feel cheated, first with the 75% gas, now Bor is given to omni? What is the future of neuts? We have been given no communication regarding this. Aspects of the game (social, etc) are placed by many far above that of role playing. Myself I couldn't give a rat's ass about role playing, I just like to play the game and socialize with the friends I have made.
Does my opinion matter? Apparently not. We are paying customers, does that matter? Seems not.
Ssss, the timing! I'm still GROWING, still trapped... We aren't even out yet...
Nonetheless, the Free cannot permit this. We will come when I can.
Do you really believe we would have remained neutral if we desired revenge? Do you really believe we would have held a grudge this long even after hiring (and firing) Loren Warr to garner that revenge?
My opinions of most Omni-Tek employees were slightly positive, but now these Unicorns invade the city proper, when what they wish to defend lies outside the city wall. They brought with them a recruiter who stands near the whompas to the other neutral cities. How is this doing us a favor?
Their propaganda destroys any good-will they may have towards the citizens of Borealis.
Loren Warr had cornered the market for gunboat diplomacy, but now I see omni troopers, with guns pointed at me, and I think to myself, perhaps I should give them a reason to leave, and become the terrorist they believe me to be. Surely destroying that dish would be no problem for one such as myself who has plenty of connections.

[OOC: That is exactly the problem. This invasion came without warning. It deposited an omni propaganda machine (I say machine, because he is invulnerable and surrounded by 4 unicorns) into the heart of the neutral travel system. It's like putting up a billboard for a stripclub right next to a school. Pissed off IC is one thing...Not allowing for the grab to fail is quite another...and if you can't understand why it's important for the players to have a say in RP that is FOR THEM, I am suprised why you even bother to RP.]
What choice did we have but to stay out of it?

We all know the crimerate in Borealis have been booming for a long time now. Its been a downright hostile place. Removing the hostile elements, in other words, the clanners ,will restore peace.
You have no right, absolutely, to brandish Mr.Zora as a triggerhappy gunman. Atleast not without me mentioning your "hero" up in Tir as a reply.
Clanners shout higher over this deal than the Neutrals wich seems strange to me. And, the Unionists retaliate over something wich they do not even have the slightest thing to do with. Thats even more disturbing...
More than one Neutral have spoken FOR the Unicorns being in their city helping protect its lawfully abiding citizens.
Its clear that Borealis will only gain from this.
And yes, you will see Unicorns fighting or chasing Neutrals in the comming days. They will do so because that Neutral have attacked the Unicorn physically. The Unicorns have thick skin regarding insults and will not use physical force on Neutrals passing by. Saying something else is downright silly.
As for the clanners who have been regulars in Borealis causing disturbances and fights..... well, I guess its time for you to find a less protected city to play your "games" in now.

I do not condone OT moving troops uninvited into Borealis. However those talking about Neutral dying in the streets are tyring to make political capital out of this. The Neutrals getting fired upon are the ones who shoot first.
This does not make it right, but let's get our facts straight.

Are you scrutinized by your own soldiers every time you walk down the streets of Rome or Omni-1?
Do you have guns shoved in your face while you go about your business in Trade?
Right now...I would recieve a warmer welcome in Old Athen than in Borealis...Is it wrong to be angry about that?

The age of detente is over.
I scouted all of Borealis last night, there are no troops around the communications array, all Omni troops are within Borealis itself. Borealis is now well defended and extremly close to clan territory, within striking distance of Athen and it is no surprise that Vanguard have increased their presence in that area. 4Holes is clan held to the south, the neutral population of Borealis rages against the heavy handed tactic of Omni-Tek. The situation is a dry powderkeg and it will only take one spark.....

One wonders what should happen to the Clanners who have been minding their own business and abiding by the peace... or is this another case of "A Good Clanner is a Dead Clanner" being applied by Omni-Tek once more? Perhaps that saying should be extended to something like "The Only Good Non-Omni is a Corpse" But maybe that's too simple a line of reasoning...
One has to wonder just why Omni wants to control communications so badly in the first place however. It isn't as if they couldn't build a secondary communications relay if they felt that strongly about it. Considering the expense they're willing to go to militarily, the cost of such a undertaking can't be much of a prohibition. Infrastructure nexus? Unlikely, why not just establish an exclusive Omni Infrastructure of higher standards than what is already present and let the neutrals and clanners worry about themselves. One has to wonder what has been detected and/or hidden within the communication infrastructure that would make this move necessary or desireable... whatever it is, it obviously has both Omni and ICC concerned enough to tarnish the ICC's usual insistance of neutrality, which seems to be still holding up in Andromeda as far as I know. More to this than is obvious to say the least... only time will tell. Or perhaps some judicious snooping on someone's part.
Good move Omnis. If I did not have so many neutral friends, I'd be switching to clan side this very instant.
