Discussion about BSG's roleplay.

[chopper]

Xoria, maybe my answer will satisfy you a bit more.

1. Most BSG members joined BSG because they wanted to help against the Outcasts, and most of them voted no on this subject.
But, it is not our goal to kill as many Outcasts to satisfy our needs, so we considered a bit more.

2. It would be totally against our RP to go to BMM because CR would become our enemies.
Why is it against our RP? Because Colonials don't fight each other while Cylons are threatening their existence.
Especially when it is said that we share the same roots.
So, your idea itself might be good, but BMM is a bit too much in it.
Maybe another faction, yes. That is why we are still considering what to do.

3. It is very hard for one faction to totally change itself, to take former enemies for friends, and former friends for enemies.
That is why most of our members disagree on such a decision.
If this idea was suggested some time ago, while we had only 3 members, it would probably be accepted.
Now it most likely won't be.

4. CR guys themselves said that they don't act that much in Tau-23 and 37. They don't guard Tau-23, while they are interested in defending their home (Tau-44).
Yes, they help us whenever they can, but still we are there to do the main job.
So, we aren't actually overpopulating one area, we are filling one empty.

Now, just to mention a few more things about our history.
When old BSG fell apart, only 3 of us left in it.
Three of us decided to go to BS Hood in Dublin, as a new base.
When we got there, we were asked by UOG to be neutral with them, because they have enough problems with QCO already.
We agreed, because we had a common enemy - QCO.
QCO were almost never online, we were flying around Dublin, doing nothing.
After some time, we were called back to Java by UKMG (United Kingdom Mining Guild), and we accepted.
Now, it makes much more sense to me for UKMG to be rebuilt, and their name to lead them to BMM, instead of IMG (they are/were IMG).

Don't get me wrong, your idea is good, as is your wish to make something out of us.
But simply i don't think it's doable.
We would have to delete 3 months of our RP and start all over from the scratch (old BSG falling apart, we are taking BMM side, etc.).

After all, just by staying BSG we would still be flamed by most of the community for our roots.
So, problems would mostly remain.
We would help the community (as old BSG did when they filled the gap by taking IMG roll), but we would still be hated and flamed for our name only.

One more thing i have to comment.

If you haven't noticed, IMG is the smaller, independent break-away version of BMM.

IMG is a lot bigger then BMM, and the reason for that is exactly their independence.
Same for GMG. IMG and GMG are pretty much the same in size.
BMM isn't even close, they act only in Brettonia (while IMG has bases near all Houses, Taus-Kusari, Cambridge/Newcastle/Dublin-Brettonia, Freeport4-Liberty, Freistadt-Rheinland).
BMM has no weapons of their own.
BMM has no ships of their own.

Independence itself makes one faction to prosper. (look at the Zoners)
And that is why IMG was always more logical choice for Colonials. And still is.

Xoria, thank you for your suggestion, i really appreciate it.
And sorry for denying it.

More constructive criticism is always welcome, so shoot people. Suggestions as well.
