At this point, CR diplomacy is changing. Were approaching things from a different perspective then the faction that preceded us. Its pretty clear I'm not Panzer, and really, I'm not trying to be.
Were making a lot of good progress with Bretonia, on track to being friendly, if not more so. On the opposite end, were drifting from IMG, and while both sides are examining it, were still wondering which way to go. There will be oorp consequences for us if we detach from IMG - our faction might just stop existing.
Our main focus is gallia, which is why were making such big overtures to Bretonia.
Its not hard to imagine that MM shoot us because of the Outcasts.
My suggestion is this.
For one, I'll be honest. I feel like a butt for suggesting that factions go against their RP for our sake. Were CR! the gank kings of the taus, one of the most hated factions in disco. Asking people to take it easy on us has gotta be the funniest joke in disco, right?
Yeah, were CR, but were not =CR=. We inherited the bad blood, and the poor opinions. Its something we have to work to change. For some folks, no matter what we do, we'll never change their minds. Thats just the way it is.
But as bad I feel, I feel worse when I see how demoralized my guys get from getting the piss knocked out of them. As I said, we didn't even want a fight - we were gathering at Java, and heading into Gallia, to give GRN and GRP the activity they want, and really, that they need.
So yeah, I'm asking for you guys to take it easy on us for a while. I don't mind if there's a couple of us, and were obviously just cruising around. But when were gathering for events, or something big, that we don't get pounced on, and beat up.
Other, inrp options for removing MM from the equation entirely are being discussed, but its pretty drastic diplomacy stuff...
Anyway, I guess thats all I can say, and I hope we can come to some sort of arrangement thats good for both of us
