Terrorist ID

[Zelot]

Just to add about the Farmers Allaince. They are just as Xenophobic as Xeno's. They dislike Synthfoods most because they are the most visable of the Foreign companies in Kusari, but they are against the growing influance of foreign products and ideas into Kusari. As a Farmer, I would say the RP would be attacking foreign shipping as well as the Britonians, as they are foreigners trying to force themselves into Kusari sociaty.

agreed. FA are pretty much a more focused, Kusari version of Xenos, with a specific problem to rally around: the loss of farming jobs and increase in poverty due to Synth Foods. If Xenos get terrorist ID, FA should have it for the same reasons (just different targets).

Yes, i think a term "Terrorist" is going slightly too far from what we want.

Actually, I would like to see something like this.
For example, Farmers would never pirate a Trader carrying food, they would kill it, and they should.
Outcasts should be able to kill Artifact smugglers without asking for tax.
Corsairs should be able to kill Cardamine smugglers without taxing.

Etc etc.
Every faction has a specific enemy and a commodity that goes with it.
Or simply ditching the generic trader ID and going for the corporation if you want to trade.
That would make things much easier.

It is every Corsair's responsibility to die a beautiful death in defense of Crete, regardless of how OORP or how capwhoring the opposition is. Launch your fighter, joust the battlecruisers and die a beautiful death. Then, drink it down in the bar.

I agree that they should have very specific targets that they can deal with as terrorists according to their RP, even if that means, in the case of Xenos (or as Zelot put, the Farmers), a broad list of targets. But then again, a broad list of targets isn't every single ship in space. At this point, not even Mon'Star can justify (I'm guessing) killing every single ship in space. I don't think he'd kill Psi.Borg.

Basically putting, I agree giving limited terrorist powers to these factions, but only towards their disaffections.

The problem here is that the term terrorist in disco has rather different connotations to that in the real world. For instance, a terrorist in disco seems to have the right to indiscriminately kill stuff (correct me if I'm wrong please). Maybe what is needed for characters like this is a 'Psychopath' ID. Terrorists in real life has very very specific goals and targets. Now the Gaians, The LWB and the Farmer's Alliance all fit this. They are POLITICAL activists who are using violence to achieve their goals, therefore they are terrorists/freedom fighters depending on you point of view.

IMO the Red Hessians should get this status as well, but each group should have included in the ID the targets they can just kill on sight, rather than leaving it open to interpretation.

I haven't voted yet by the way.

Dreygon, what I meant is that apart from everyone else, Psi.Borg would be perhaps the only character you wouldn't destroy at this point of your RP, but that I wasn't assured even of its safety around Mon'Star. It was intended to be a joke. I'd say you have more allies than that (hah! this just gave me an incredible idea).

I believe you may be wrong in the concept, perhaps right in perception. The Terrorist ID would grant the owner the right to kill not anyone, but those his RP dictates as targets for him. The only terrorist I can see indiscriminately killing anyone around him is Mon'Star. I wouldn't be surprised if he decided it would be fun to dismantle Psi.Borg (hence my above mention). His RP is that of a psychopath. As for the other terrorists, they are more in the line of political terrorists and should act as such, not just killing everyone in sight.

Example, the Novas and the Mandalorians are currently on a friendly status towards each other, it would be odd (to say the least), if they started shooting Mandalorians without a fair reason, even if their IDs grants them the right to do so (?).

"Terrorist ID". Saying that is what's kinda going to make this thread get moved to flood. No faction should get a Terrorist ID other then The Phantoms and of course the selected few characters who have a real Terrorist ID. Yes, that means not even the Xenos have a Terrorist ID, which is correct.

Xenos are very limited Terrorists, they have to stay fully within server rules. They have to ask for cash before killing a Trader, they have to announce their attacks, have to stay within Liberty at all times. They have to pretty much do everything a Pirate has to if you want to stay within server rules. If you want to change the LWB, Farmers Alliance, and Gaians to the same thing? ... Well, actually I'd still have to think about before I set my opinion down.

Now, what's a real Terrorist? It's the ones that can only be accomplished with the Terrorist, Phantom, and Keepers (Sort of) ID. Where you're able to kill anything (other then under levels of course), in any ship, and still be within rules. If you want to turn the three selected factions in to that? You have no chance at all. It would get abused to no end, I think we can all see that coming.

There ya go, that's me.

Well, we could create two types of terrorist. The first one is the already existent "psychopath" who kills everybody in his path (Example: Phantoms and Mon'Star). And then there should be the second type, the "activists". They fight against a certain part in the house governments. Gaians fight the pollution of Bretonia, FA and LWB fight Synth Foods and Xenos fight the corrupt Liberty house which allowed foreign workers and automated machines. Xenos see that as a problem since the workers and automated machines make them to leave their job. Xenos were formerly miners in Colorado and Texas, as far as I know.
