Jesh there's a few issues with your request, first of all if you're starting a new faction you need to apply for one and state who your members are. Secondly, when performing a takeover you need to have the planet's name in the takeover title. Thirdly, I see no mention of "Haven Asteroid Belt" in the thread at all.
This will not work unless the "Smuggler's Alliance" is a TNO subgroup. If it is a subgroup, you do not get a starting planet.
If this Smuggler's Alliance is going to be a separate group, as Zell states, you need to have an application in for one.
If the Smuggler's Alliance is an IC group, then the planet's it "owns" or whatnot does not go onto the planetary list. You may still defend them (as per the rules) but it will be your responsibility for it's upkeep.
I would think, when another party enters a roleplay, both sides would show sufficient respect for the other to ensure the story was fully resolved before claiming the world as theirs.
Perhaps my next post would land troops on the surface... that would seem to clash with your claim of ownership, no?
Drayson, I'll say this as clearly and politely as I possibly can. You should be the LAST person to counsel ANYONE on treating anyone else with respect. I left you TWO polite PMs about the thread which you ignored for what.. a week? Then since you ignored my messages, I left another (polite) message in the OOC forum which you read and subsequently ignored until Beff barrated you about it.
I've made no snide remarks about your involvement in the thread, even though you didn't give me a friendly heads up or take the two seconds to reply to either one of my messages. So don't leave me a message in a public forum telling me how to treat others with respect when your own message is dripping with condescension. If you want to talk about the thread, or anything else, I'm all ears and you know how to get ahold of me.
If you want to make a complaint about how I've handled this, or anything else... present it to the staff.
Just a note: Irtar was planning on claiming a planet in this thread, but I don't know if he's finished yet, and I'd feel a little weird trying to claim someone else's planet for him anyway, so . . . whatever.
