A Solution to the Gallic Number Balance Problem

[Omi]

This is the kind of attitude that promotes the binary sort of thinking which is burrowing itself into diplomacy lists across the whole server. There's more than one way to skin a cat, and you don't have to be shooting at the Royal Navy to be undermining their efforts.

And you see, that's part of the problem; a lot of gallic players go on with the "you don't have to hate Gallia at all costs!" thing... but how can you justify not hating an imperialistic dictatorship that attacks and oppresses everyone else without provocation? No personal offense, but it's a bit hypocritical. Of course everyone hates Gallia: Gallia is EVIL. Don't deny it.

I don't think you understood what I was going on about at all. Like, even slightly.

I'm saying that I am surprised there aren't more (read: any) factions playing an opportunistic role, kind of like a treacherous version of the Reavers' deal with GRN|. The idea of cosying up to the Gallics with the intention of nicking technology/dragging them into conflicts for your own benefit/etc. is an avenue of RP that hasn't been explored with relation to us at all, to the best of my knowledge.

But then again, if all people can come up with is "we hate Gallia lots so we shoot them as top priority targets" with regards to every-faction-ever's diplomacy, then maybe I shouldn't be surprised at all.

As for a "distaste" towards Gallia; well, that's a problem people have to sort out for themselves. Like it or lump it, though, Gallia looks to be here to stay.

And so what if it attracts the low-rp crowd?

There is lack of interest because no one wants to be France.

No comment.
