I suspected you might say that, and it isn't true: part lie, part misleading contextualization.
But let's say it is true. If it is acceptable to take advantage of power vacuums, chaotic mashups - what makes Feux's kratocracy so bad in Lazarus? Was he not (thrice) trying to bring order (rather self-servingly) to a declining state and order of things? It seems to me that what you're taking dispute with is an individual's ambition tantamount fundamentally with the founding ethos of the Order itself.
The New Pacific Order is a junta whose eponymous mission is to imperialise the Pacifics. You, however, would have us believe it's a knitting club for roleplayers and retirees. It began as a coup. Expansionism is its reason for existence, its past, its present, and its future indefinitely. Everything else, this claptrap about regional rights, is simply for show.
Was Feux invited into that power vacuum by the nations of Lazarus? If so, then there would be no problem with it. f not, then he should not have done it. Simple enough, even for you.
Just because you were never advanced during your brief sojourns in the Pacific does not mean everyone has to listen to your bitter tripe as you ignore my comments and keep stating the same thing over and over. Things that happened 16 years ago in NS are very different than things that happened a year ago. The context is different, the game mechanics are different, the player mentalities are different. NS now is the same ones and zeroes but it is also so much more (and in some ways less) than what it was over a decade of realtime ago. You know this, you are just choosing to be obtuse. Not unexpected. But still droll.
