So Technically speaking, those who revolt and refuse to play ball with the tribe are the terrorists, and not the tribe themselves.

Otherwise if it was the reverse way around, Well lets face it, America would be the biggest terrorists in the world.

While most powerful governments like to use the word that way, that is not what it means. A terrorist is some one the uses terror to further their goals. The tribe are most definitely terrorists both on Plymouth and when they operate on the other servers.


Is this not what the american government do to their own people in the form of Tax's ?

Pay Tax or you go to prison. (Invoking fear that you are a criminal if you do not pay, and the threat of imprisonment?)

Once upon a time, not paying tax's would result in death.

Yep, Most governments try to get people to want to pay taxes by offering a service, but that does not work for many people so they resort to terrorism.

Why limit it to in house terrorists? Have you see the USA's foreign policy?
Also remember that not all terrorism is bad if a government uses the fear of police breaking into your house and dragging you to jail, or even kill you if you fight back with lethal force, that is a good thing.

There's a politics discussion thread. Let's not derail this one. (If you want to hijack that one, I, at least, won't complain as the current discussion is getting stale and nobody seems to want to discuss something other than taxes and economy.)

Has a non-elected government ever even used the term terrorism.

The tribe wasn't elected. At best they fits into the category of robber baron.

Terrorism is the use of fear and acts of violence in order to intimidate societies or governments. Many different types of social or political organisations might use terrorism to try to achieve their goals. People who do terrorism are called terrorists.


I think this describes MM tribe/Cheif pretty good. So yes paying Cheif on Jamestown server is like a funding a kickstarter of a terror organisation.

Full article is here: http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism, its the simplified version so L33LEE might understand the meaning of Terrorism.

TerrorStarter. Want to be a terrorist but just don't have the recourses to fund your evil plans yourself? Post your terror project and find like minded people who hate the same people you hate and are willing to fund your campaign of terror.
10% of contributions will taken to cover hosting fees, an additional 10% will be to cover payment fees and 20% will be used to cover TerrorStarter licensing fees plus and additional 5% if you use the name TerrorStarter on your pitch video, if you plan on using explosive in your terror act there is an additional 30% bomber liability fee and if your terror act includes any actual acts of terror there will be a 25% legal coverage fee

Of course but you have to have a realistic budget explain how you plan on doing it and what risk of failure their are. And if you don't use explosives maybe some of the money raised wont go to fees, make sure you read the fine print.
The Chief can even sign up to raise money to buy silver and items to fund his invasion of the other servers so he does not have to resort to this silliness.
