Oleg, do you speak for all of Plato?
If I recall, Ming replied to one of my earlier posts on this subject saying
something to the effect of "Captain Arr may have issue with open trade, but I
said nothing about trade. To me this is a security issue".
The gist of Ming's reply was that the mere ownership of Azrain by LotC was
what he had a problem with.
This has been a reoccuring problem in dealing with Plato. There seem to be 3
vocal "leaders" (Arr, Oleg, Ming) and several other members that chime in from
time to time. And often what Arr, Oleg and Ming say in public is in direct
contradiction with what the other spokesmen are saying. During the yellowleaf
negotiations Plato selected Captain Arr to be their spokesmen. Once this
happened, the situation went much smoother. Would it be possible for Plato to
do the same now? Could somebody please tell the world, with one voice and
no contradictions, what it is that Plato wants?
Is this about newbies?
Is it about security?
Is it about trade rights for all?
or is it just the cause du jour to justify war?
