Independant Miners Guild

[ian]

We seem to be in a flow of new faction creations currently, some with very little thought and rolelay value.
So to make quite sure players are serious about the requirements for this process, we are going to levy a
non-refundable 500 million credit bond on every intention wishing to be considered.
This money will only be available again when set against future system purchase for those serious and
successful applicants.
This will apply immediately, so anything posted after this, falls into the category.
Thank you for your time and understanding.

well before we do anything else people we need to dort this out ^ we should remove the this thread and turn it into some sort of thread to sort out our diplomacy since (being presumptious here) we aint got 500 mil although im not sure if we have if we all through some in:(

going to have to play as a my trader a bit tonight to try and get some funds up for it :)

The Corsair factions might be friendly with the IMG players, but there is no need to be friendly, allied nor neutral. Your NPCs attack each other! The infocards are pretty shoddy, diplomacy wise, but Igiss has other stuff to do instead of fiddle with npc diplomacy. Diplomacy shouldn't be black and white, "You hate outcasts so you are our friend" - Corsair.
That isn't right, that'd mean all the factions would be linked together intricately. The Gaians probably don't know who the Order are, but according to that type of diplomacy, they are best friends! It's a complex thing, but you don't need corsair allies. You probably won't meet them in game anyway (none in Omegas from what I've seen, definately none in Taus).
SO i guess it doesn't matter whether your personal rep is red or green, as you probably won't be meeting them ever.

Ian, killing freelancer npcs reduces BHG rep. They are neutral with everyone according to the infocard. Should we associate all freelancers with bounty hunters? Not necessarily. Just because your Gaian rep is green, doesn't mean the IMG are friendly towards them. The NLH probably doesn't care for your mining ways.

i didnt say that is what everyone else is thinking or doing with their RP if Corsairs are friendly to them and plus this is one of the reason i dont want to be the leader :) my diplomacy is a tad messed up

plus that is why we could (not should) be friendly with Gaians and NLH because we would be opererating in some of the same systems and we would have two common enemies in the Outcasts and BMM and Gaians have nothing against the IMG and vice versa
