There's a lot of factions that are just plain boring to RP.

I can't believe how badly people have besmirched the image of the BHG. There are a few groups who can RP them properly such as the S/D (I've worked with you guys and you ROCK) and the Guild Core (just a note: we only bring out the big ships if we're ALONE. Seriously, who is going to raid Minor or Gamma with a lone fighter/bomber/gunship? I learned that the hard way when I brought a lone bomber into Minor. The more people we have, the smaller ships we use, so don't call us cap-whores just because we have no backup!).

' Wrote:I chose ALG and Bounty Hunters. I admit it is because i'm biased against bounty hunters in part, since very few people really roleplay them properly. ALG is just plain boring. I mean, who wants to RP a bunch of cleaners? Nobody is even remotely interested in hijacking a bunch of cleaners who clean up everyone else's mess and generally only tend to carry highly toxic and hazardous materials that everyone else simply wants as far away from them as possible.
ALG - carry toxic waste & get 2 creds per unit
BHG - Get a cap ship & pretend your global police.
Thankfully Bretonian Bounty Hunters know how to RP, but when I travel further afield....

Dauman, GMG
Dauman is here... Why?
GMG is annoying prospect. Too militant for miners.

I said Kruger and IMG. Kruger has an amazing RP with ALG, and if carried out, I believe it would've been a much better story to the war than the current one (If anyone wants to hear about it, please pm!). It's simply beautiful, but no one wants to play it...
IMG....Just...No one wants to play the real IMG. CR is something completely different, so I wouldn't say they count....

Daumann is a rival company to Kruger that was initially small, but after the downfall of Kruger because of their involvement with the 80-years-war, Daumann gained power and became the dominant mining force by allying with Republican.

Actually, ALG produces a lot, and the Liberty ship building industry relies on them, as well as the Bretonian one.

A tough question. On the Rhineland front, there are several good possibilities. ALG isn't all that glamorous... Or interesting... Or profitable... But I went with the Police. Why? Rhineland is a military police state. All the 'problems' (I see it as a problem, at least) with House militaries ruling over the police and doing everything that the cops do... Only in better ships... I see it as most exaggerated in Rhineland. The police are just pointless. On the other hand, it makes the most sense in Rhineland, since it is a military police state.
As for the other factions... Well, my first thoughts went to BHG, I'm sad to say. But I can see good interesting BHG characters, not just PvP hunters of questionable RP. GMG seems rather boring, but I think has potential as an oil baron/OPEC style faction. I went with the Corsairs because... Well... I never liked them much. Babyeaters. And they smell.

Republican: Another shipping company. ALG has hosilities with the GMG, and Kruger and Daumann have serious conflict with Hessians. Superb RP opportunities for them. Not RepEX.
IMG: I like the IMG, kind of like a crazy Zoners group. Not in history, just fairly neutral and still with enemies. But not above the others groups here. I'd have chose the BHG, but that's only from the PvP mongers.
GMG as the least interesting? Come on. A mining superpower, with insane military power, odd relations with one of the most powerful houses in Sirius, and some serious RP opportunities in the future. Bad choice as the most boring, really.

' Wrote:that bounty hunter thing is completly reasonable but dont worry this will all change... S/D FTW anyway i picked bounty hunters and GMG how do you mine gas in this game..? heh
I find that a bit funny and ironic considering your avatar and nick :laugh:
Back to the topic. I find the results interesting so far. It just shows that flavor does vary from people to people and it sure makes Disco a more interesting place.
Although I picked BHG I know and have RPed with good ones too. Someone mentioned S/D and I agree. Also Megiddo gets my nod. Never really got in touch with [core], but the rest... :mellow:
