The Mollys + Post #109.

[Avalanche]

Also, just a point, when you get official a bounty board would be awesome;)

I can't reply properly due to being on the phone but your pm idea, I approve, would be a lot of fun and makes sense. Kudos and congratulations for next week man. I wish you a lifetime of happiness.

[Silver]

Aye.

Disco needs more Molly roleplay.
And Bretonia could always use the extra life in it.

And we need your Bounty Board.

$_$

Hell, Silver needs some drunkards at her sight to scream "YYYYYYEAAAAAAWWWWW" when going for the kill.
Hm. That was soooo Xeno.


Eh, apart from the lulz and all, good luck and you have my support, people.

Molly presence in Omega49 can be justified under the following reasons:

• There is a jumphole from Londonderry to Omega49, allowing backdoor access to a prime trade link in the Corsair supply network.
  
• There is a jumphole from Dublin to Omega 49 which is right next to the Molly gold field, and therefore access to that hole is worth defending.
  
• Mollies aren't friends with Zoners (as far as the infocards go).
  
• Corsairs use Omega49 as a staging point for attacks on Dublin. Pre-emptive attacks may limit the damage or scope of Corsair incursion.
  

Molly presence in Omega3 can be justified under the following reasons:

• Lisburn Rock (a Molly base) sits right on top of the jumphole, controlling Corsair entry along a prime smuggling route.
  
• Corsair capital fleets in Omega3 are there for the purpose of beginning invasion into Cambridge.
  
• Assisting Red Hessians against Corsairs in a system not too far from home.
  

Molly presence in Omega5 should only be in the form of smuggling, escort or diplomatic missions for the following reasons:

• Mollies would get in the way. It is a tight system with a whole mess of mines and asteroids, and is unfamiliar ground to the Mollies who would go there.
  
• Red Hessians know the territory, like the Corsairs, giving these two sides an extreme advantage in this theatre of war.
  
• Mollies are non-expansionist, primarily station bound people. They focus on defending their territory, not claiming whole systems (barring Dublin).
  

Molly presence in Tau-31 has alternately made sense and not made sense throughout the current version of the mod for the following reasons:

• (pro-Bretonia)Mollies set up minefields in the system in cooperation with the BAF in order to slow the Kusari war machine's advancement.
  
• (pro-Bretonia)Mollies are in conflict with Kusari because Kusari is in conflict with Bretonia.
  
• (pro-Bretonia)Mollies can use their hit and run tactics, perfected against the BAF, on Kusari patrols and capital ships enroute to the frontline.
  
• (Nationalist Mollies)Do not care if BAF are wiped out by Kusari.
  
• (Nationalist Mollies)Have fewer reasons to hate Kusari than to hate the Bretonian government and corporations.
  
• (Nationalist Mollies)Are also fighting BAF, making alliances of opportunity probable.
  

As for that last one, when 4.85 first came out I was using the KNF invasions as a distraction during which I bombed BAF capitals ships, and then ran away.

Thanks:DThough I was thinking more of a general bounty board for the Reavers to have a reason to not shoot you guys. Gaians bounty you, and about the only people we can work for in Bretonia are Gaians and Mollys.

Laowai. If I wanted to RP a Molly gang in Omegas I'd be perfectly within my rights to do so.
Mollys are not a pirating organization, they are people. They fight for independence.
If I put a Molly ID on my char, sure, most people will think I'm a pirate.
But I can use it and RP a peaceful character (not too often for Molly temper though) and fly around.
I can also go with my ma' and pa' to Omegas to live because I'm sick and tired of Molly silly politics in Dublin.
Just saying, there are plenty of reasons for Mollys to be around.

Also, the way I see it, one jump from a system that has your base is perfectly within zoi. For example, Lane Hackers are a Liberty faction, but they are very within rights to pirate in Leeds or Manchester. Well, same goes for Mollys.
And I'm actually quite amazed no one brought the point of Gaians going all the way to Kusari to hug with them Hogoshans and stuff? What's up with that, I suppose that's fine?
No one is bothered by Hogosha daily raids in Leeds either.
No one is bothered by Corsairs in Rheinland, even though they've no base or whatsoever in it, just a lot of enemies.
And Mollys are actually much more within RP to jump one system away and plant an ambush for them Bretonians and blow up their convoys.

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.

To those who have brought up the concern of ranks and the allowed ships, to get from Bastard to Molly, you only need 16 hours play time (currently). Therefore for any member, it's not demanding what so ever to get access to the main fleet.

Molly presence in Omega49 can be justified under the following reasons:

Not to mention Gran Canaria's infocard mentions that the local Zoners are worried the Mollys are going to do something nasty to them, because they're collaborating with the Corsairs.

Which begs the question - what is your stance with the Zoners going to be? Currently, Gran Canaria is the Molly's biggest pain in the arse so far as Corsairs in Dublin go, seeing as that's where they all come from inRP. It's not like you need them for supplies, seeing as the IMG and Junkers have that covered with the Hood, Trafalgar and Invergordon.

I hope Zoners will be treated just like the rest of the bunch. Harshly.
Mollys have no reason to be buddies with the Zoners, seeing as none of their bases are actually useful for the Mollys.
So, basically, I thnik Mollys ought to steal some fuel from trespassing Zoners.

Those arent reasons for being there, and definitely not in force. I can make up reasons why a Xeno would have an interest in stopping foreign shipping in foreign houses as well for example. Everyone can all find reasons for what we wish to be so, it doesn't mean its correct or allowed.

Also, the way I see it, one jump from a system that has your base is perfectly within zoi. For example, Lane Hackers are a Liberty faction, but they are very within rights to pirate in Leeds or Manchester. Well, same goes for Mollys.

As I said (several times now) - I dont agree with Mollies being in Omega 5, and see no convincing reason for them to be so in the light of my previous objections. However, as i said (again) small raids i would put under a "whatever" category, except im entirely skeptical that that is what will happen.

And I'm actually quite amazed no one brought the point of Gaians going all the way to Kusari to hug with them Hogoshans and stuff? What's up with that, I suppose that's fine?

In my opinion - No, its not fine, Gaians may have a relationship with the Kusari but I personally think they have no business raiding into Kusari territory. Gaians are, as are the Mollies, a local outfit.

No one is bothered by Hogosha daily raids in Leeds either.

Thats easily explainable given the Hogosha's relationship to the Kusari authorities... who are in the process of invading Leeds.

No one is bothered by Corsairs in Rheinland, even though they've no base or whatsoever in it, just a lot of enemies.

Benefits of being - as i said already - large.
However, in the discovery context there is a long standing and established RP precedent for this (could be as far back as 4.83 but someone might need to correct me on that) - TBH players who have been here long enough will recall that there once was a Role played event covering a Corsair Invasion of Rheinland (As I said, Corsairs are large)... The Corsairs lost this event btw. Corsairs in New Berlin was also made a lot more feasible in the past given the location of the Sigma 13 Jumphole- Personally, i think a lot of Rheinland is way far for Corsairs but still, the precedent is there and its now encoded somewhere in the dark realms of Disco lore.

And Mollys are actually much more within RP to jump one system away and plant an ambush for them Bretonians and blow up their convoys.

This would be true if there were Bretonian Convoys in Omega 5.
Its also worth noting that Omega 5 is generally an Area we dont see the Bretonian lawful factions in either who are on the whole, supposed to be much better supplied than the Mollies.


But, as i said, Omega 47 is my main beef with this. I dont personally like the Omega 5 idea and have outlined my reasons why. We can agree to disagree which is fine.

I'd completely forgotten, but there was a piece of diplomacy that opened up use of the Arbeiter for Mollies that were interested in it. The agreement may well be defunct now, but it's perhaps more agreeable to some people than the BW line.
