what about an additional IMG affliated faction?

[Potheus]

Greetings all! My apologies for not posting sooner, but I've been enthusiastically awaiting admin approval to do so. Ian might remember me; my comrade Saracen and I were part of the original discussion that led to this little gold-rush of interest (pun intended). I've been keeping up with the thread, and must say that I'm very excited about the level of enthusiasm for this group. With the IMG caught in the middle of the Tau war, I think there is need for a player faction to represent their interests (which is how I think it should be presented to the admins for approval).

Ok, on to some specific points. I was looking over the proposed diplomacy and am curious as to how IMG can be neutral with Mollys but hostile with UoG. It is my understanding that UoG is essentially an alliance between the Mollys, Outcasts, Liberty Rogues, and Hessians. I suppose it works if they are some kind of quasi-pirate group, but that still seems fishy.

I'm also concerned about CR. I know for myself (and I assume many others) the point of this group is to support IMG without being required to have a Battlestar Galactica backstory (sorry guys, I just never got into it). Unfortunately, I worry that the admins will see it as doubling-up on IMG PC groups and we'll get shot down. I figure this can be solved by either convincing CR to merge with us as the escort branch of IMG (keeping their personal character back-stories of course), or getting them to adopt a merc id since they claim to be hired by IMG for security anyway.

Ok, that's enough for now. Tell me what you think, and here's to (hopefully) the beginning of a great new faction!
