The required 5 million was already taken from (=)GFS-Shades.of.Grey for addition to the faction tracker.
Feel free to join our Discord through the DiscoveryGC Official's Player Factions thread.
We'll likely be compiling a list of roleplay threads here in the near future, as well as revising and touching up the information page, particularly the Diplomacy section. Feel free to leave feedback here and/or in the faction's dedicated feedback thread.
We'll be attempting to especially focus on fleshing out the forumside part of Rheinland's activity if we can, to help bring a better sense of scale and worldbuilding in the post-Civil War (or at least, this Civil War) era of Rheinland. Additionally pending a likely buff to the template faction's ZoI in 5.1(?) we're hoping to bring more activity to Southern Liberty and the Sigmas.
We're looking forward to interacting with you, and hope to write a more vibrant, politically introspective and gripping Discovery with you, both in-game and out of it.
