The Kusari Exiles

[Daedric]

Okay... that's an interesting discussion. My opinion on it...

If the stuff which is already in game says there's a treaty already in place, then I'd stick with that and not bother writing it out and foruming it up at the moment.

Should it appear to be necessary later on, then let it can happen, but leave things more fluid for now. Leaviong things more fluid will allow the faction's behaviour to adapt and change as befits the situation. This is important, given it's an entirely new NPC faction, and frankly, folks are going to have to learn how best to play it.

My opinion on this is along that of JihadJoe. If in lore it is said that there is a treaty in place then it should be left at that. Forcing treaty RP for this IMO will lead to powergaming. We've seen it in the past.
Treaty RP's ARE a necessity for something not covered in lore. The Port Jackson treaty is a good example of that.

Play the game, folks.

Ignore the fact that in the lore it makes it pretty clear the GMG and Kusari had a treaty regarding their territory in Honshu. Ignore the fact that Zelot demanded the GMG players role play out a treaty, which was at a later date used to force the role play of both factions away from the story line.

We'll ignore the fact that what Zelot is currently complaining and afraid of happening to him, is the same thing he has done to other players on this server. He is right, it will likely be used to start hostilities against his faction at a later date, he knows that because he has used the same tactic in the past.

The story line doesn't say the cease fire is never broken. It just says there is one. Logic would dictate that both sides would often break the cease fire for varying reasons due to the recent past. The Ronin's main weakness is their reliance on Bretonia and we already have West coming in and saying they plan to remedy that weakness by having Samura supply the Ronin and thus make the factions main weakness moot.

Its power gaming. Fulfill your role. Work with the Bretonian player base (West claims you are) to form this treaty. I agreed you shouldn't be forced to sign one that they wrote themselves, you should have some input into it also.

Anyways, I wish you luck with the faction bid. It is an interesting faction due to its situation; I hope you capitalize on that.
