The Mollys - Official Faction Request

[Avalanche]

Hey lanche, can i have the fourth Odin? :laugh:

You aren't in the [M]ollys.

1. Basic information from before: The early factions known as =M= and MS (separatists) did a very good kind of RP. The M were normal mollies with good RP, collecting taxes and fighting Kusarians, Corsairs, indie Pirates and Mercs that come in Dublin, your realm. Molly Separatists didnt liked the ways of the normal mollies and their hostility against Bretonia, so they turned semi-neutral to both molly and bretonia armed forces.
~ The point is that they had a very interesting ways of RP.

2. Basic information now: The mollies from [M] now are nothing, from my experience so far against them, but ... pvp guys with less RP options. I dont know how you hire them but I have become witness of many frustrated situations that really makes mollies from [M] no different that any other pirates in Sirius. Always looking for fighting only, never fighting if forcing an equal numbers (that happened twice in my presence) and even ganking (cant count the numbers but I was lone bomber with 1 anti cap bs 1 indie templar against 5 + caps from SCRA|, [M] and several other fighters).
~Fighting all and primary bretonians is not the direct molly way but keeping Dublin safe from your known enemies and then fight bretonians is .

I appreciate your level tone, easier to talk with. I know the groups before sort of had a single route of what their members would be like and how the members would act. However since my attitude of the Mollys are a rugged band of persons with the same ideals and goals. I allow free expression from people in the [M]ollys to do as they please. What I mean by this is some faction members can fight on the other house's side, however if their side loses, they will expect some immediate consequences like being destroyed and taken back to base beaten up and threatened in a escape pod. I won't have two sides in the [M]ollys or a 'Civil War' but I do allow free choice and expression from all members. We aren't an organized military.

However, members do tend to stick together since its a team effort, I will not allow any off-game OOC grudges to occur due to the different RP attitudes that members show in-game. We're all here to play a game, we should be able to play with friends and still play it as we want. If the boss (Myself) choses a major faction direction say for example, allying with the RHA, and a member goes "Nah, my character doesn't like Rheinlanders, he's going to shoot them" Then I'll arrange some brutal INRP consequences, but I will still treat that person on skype as a friend.

-2.1: Reputation: Your [M] reputation is really messed and totaly unknown. I wont give examples of certain situations or judge your ways to decide your enemies but it is well known that so far [M]'s were fighting on the side of eternal enemies to bretonia ( and to mollies in RP):
- Reavers (sometimes, its ok they are mercenaries working for you)
- RM/ BDM/ any other rheinland faction ( that is distrbing, supporting invaders is no different than supporting knf)
- KNF ( you were fighting on their side some times which is more shocking, or targeting bretonian pilots primary, without to follow your RP and kill the sushi guys first and then to kill the bretonians)
- Corsairs ( yup, we know you did that too, fighting on their side or fighting primary bretonians when corsairs (your eternal and primary enemies after bretonians) are next to you)

So your reputation is shocking and not fixed yet. Mollies and BAF were always fighting Kusarians together no matter their in-RP differences. Mollies and BAF were fighting all of the mentioned above enemies together ( except RM... since it's enemy). Fighting on RM side (invaders to bretonia) is equal to fighting on KNF side (invaders to bretonia) which dont fits for your faction RP.
Again I repeat, do what you want but if you see yourselves from different point of view, you will get immediately what I mean.
~The reputation changes the faction and making it different. An official faction must follow its original reputation and work to keep it.

Like I said before, players vary, its hard to keep track off but we are a band of scaly-wags wanting the same outcome, how we personally get to that outcome is up to the individual. We will keep the basic reputation of "BAF = Bad, BMM = Bad, Corsairs = Bad" etc but with slight variations on different scenarios, and what makes that so awesome in-game is, we're so unpredictable. Some relations like siding with KNF/RM can be explained by that we want the BAF to be gone out of Dublin, if their is a fight were the BAF will clearly win vs a Kusari invasion fleet, we'll try and weaken the BAF by fighting them, but if the Kusari invasion fleet is strong enough to stomp the BAF, we will defend with the BAF to stop a foreign enemy. In some ways it always gives us something to shoot but its tactical to have the best outcome for Dublin.

You'll never see us in the same chat as the KNF/RM/BAF, but we'll be there shooting the same people as them and after they are dead, we may finish off the KNF/RM/BAF or leave if the chances of further victory are slim. We want a waker BAF, but we don't want a foreign rule... thats the general agreement but some characters may disagree.

-2.2: Tech permissions: Every faction is clear to do RP requests and receive permissions for different faction ships and weapons. Sharing weapons from other faction is one thing, but changing ships is another. No matter if you get 1 Odin or 1 Sabre if you want, it is very strange from others point of view.
-Bretonia have known enemies and they are using known ships met to fight inside bretonia space.
-Rheinland and Kusari have other ships created and balanced for their inside space borders. Messing so much other faction's ships in order to achieave superiority on the field is interesting indeed and yet...not a move for an official faction. I am giving you direct example: Imagine if with proper RP, BAF received 10 Katanas to fight KNF and ofc you all. Half of the members said "If that happens, we will quit" because an official faction is met to use official faction ships only.
-Liberty is in alliance with Bretonia, the only two homes with such a thing. How many times you have seen BAF guardians or liberators? Never, cuz even with such high level of diplomatic relationships, officials are met to be officials and stays on their own ship line.
~The ship changes the faction. Using anything different than your ship line is making you a copy-cat faction to another faction. There is no difference for us to fight [M]Odins or [RHA]Odins.Its all the same ship and probably, OOC the are same pilots.
