AGNUS DEI

[Xoria]

I will say this
your RP is good, but Sirius wide wont work, and that ship/weapon list wont work.
And personally, as half my characters are devout christians, they will shoot you on sight, so please keep religion out of Disco

If half of your characters are devout christians, then YOU are the one who is putting religion into Disco. You can't tell someone else to keep religion out of Disco, because it conflicts with the religions of your characters. You just gave us a classic example of hypocrisy, Vape. Don't let the rejection of your religious faction proposal cause you to cast aspersions on others'.



This is one of the most well-thought out faction proposals I have seen. I don't think the "Sirius wide police" stigma applies here any more than it does to a BHG or Merc clan. The emphasis here is strongly placed on roleplaying, with PvP as a backup. I think it would be highly refreshing to see "lawfuls" doing some "preaching" rather than just insulting and threatening the pirates/terrorists. This faction has more potential to broaden and deepen the Disco RP experience than anything that has been proposed in the entire time I've been playing here.

That potential, however, is going to require a membership that is substantially a cut above the norm in order to be actualized.

Since the "experiment" has its roots in Rheinland, I suggest restricting to Rheinland ships and weaponry initially. If and when the membership grows through "conversion", then the converts could bring the ships/weapons of their native land into use.

I would suggest using a format similar to the way the Phantoms recruit : a new character is started who is then "converted" into a Phantom.

In this case, a player would have to start a new character who would gradually become converted to Agnus Dei over a period of time. This would provide a stable platform for the clan's roleplaying by giving focused RP opportunities, and it would also serve as a screening process for recruits. If someone wants to join, they have to put some work into demonstrating good roleplaying as an outsider first before being accepted.

I think the biggest problem this clan would face would be getting enough highly competent roleplayers.

Some sort of behind the scenes "manual" or "sermon texts" would be instrumental in teaching members how to roleplay this clan. The Lane Hackers have a brief version of something like this, and the results speak for themselves. What you would need would have to be much more in depth.

The best praise I can give this, is that this is the first lawful faction I have seen that I might actually want to join. (Well, LPI too, but that one purely for comic relief from all my nefarious piracy).
