And still you feel running your own faction is the way to go.[/quote]

I am not running it. Others are.[/quote]

Seen, didn't like it.[/quote]

Maybe I don't like the way the [RM] carries out their business, or various other groups (like today when there was a [GC] just hanging out in Sigma-13). But, I don't go on crusades against their faction.

That wasn't meant literally. This is a community jargon used to describe a behavior.[/quote]

Oh, good. Thing is... we don't do that...

Hmmm... that's catchy, because RHA and Bundschuh weren't supposed to be the same at all from an RP standpoint. Even if you extract almost all of the RP aspect from them and go down to the PvP part I still don't agree. One attacks the RM from Frankfurt, the other attacks the RM from Dresden, and the Corsairs in the Omegas. That's like saying Liberty Rogues and Xenos are the same...[/quote]

And yet, every third person on here is saying, "O hai. U lik pirat? Join RHA! Kthxbai." When in reality, you're right. The RP is very different. In fact... having read the RP on their infocard, it doesn't even state anything about attacking Rheinland, other than the fact that they're hostile. Their main purpose is a turf war with the Corsairs. Hardly the same thing.

Most of us enjoy PvP, but we (I) enjoy RP oriented PvP better, or rather, RP supported by PvP (and that doesn't even mean that there's got to be an actual fight, just that there's a possibility.[/quote]

Likewise, and I apologize for just jumping one of your members the other day.

Then we go again to the point when I told someone of your group to wait about creating the faction...
When I mentioned creating characters before approval, I didn't mean you were breaking any rules. I meant you went ahead of things and started the faction regardless on the community's feedback, even though you were here, asking for it. That makes me feel like you're not really interested in that rather than just an official "go ahead". It's like asking someone's opinion just to turn around and do something else while they are giving it. I think it's rude, and I don't mean just from you guys, but by everyone doing it. I think it's a lousy practice.[/quote]

You know, Sabas asked other people for their opinion... it's possible that others gave it thumbs up.

Well, a game with ships where just about the only thing you can do is customize a weapons loadout... tends to lend itself to combat.

It's rare when I have the time and will to write the report based on all the random PvP oriented idiocy I experience in game (something about being difficult to RP certain bizarre events).[/quote]

I have the same problem in Liberty. But, I usually take the time to put a little creative spin on it and make it RP appropriate (not that your answer really portains to the context of the question).

When I first joined the server I too came in with a bunch of friends and they too wanted to create a faction of our own. We were here for two weeks and they all wanted a faction, battleships and the sort. Then I told them we'd be better off joining the existing factions. I did, the rest ended up losing interest and leaving. If we did that, today I'd be the happy bearer of a dead "faction"'s tag. Not the point really. I just wanted to point out that this is a natural feeling for groups that come from outside, but not necessarily the best way to go.

Notice, we haven't even bought a cruiser, much less a battleship(s). Just because we're trying to do our own thing, doesn't mean we won't join other factions. I, for one, have probably joined too many as it is. If this faction ends up dead, oh well, that's about how the [RHA]. No harm done.
