Thank you for your feedback Ed. Quality of roleplay of our members was always the most important thing to us in DHC - not an easy thing when you play "cashmaking" faction and by definition have many, sometimes even majority of playerbase composed from new disco players, who need to be taught literally everything. We're trying though
As for our stance with Kusari, it's tricky subject, just as Kusari's current politics. By the lore Daumann helps rebuild KNF's strength, what includes massive influx of funds from Kusari's new government to our coffers in exchange for Kusari caps Made In Dauland. Big contract, and frankly needs more RPing from our side, to signify its existence and importance. Another thing is Samura, faction which was DHC's good business partner for long time, and their secret struggle to regain power. Of course it's all quiet now, but we honestly don't know which side will we pick once (and if) Kusari Civil War starts. I cannot give you any more details, because to be honest we have none - so far action inside Kusari is "frozen", at least on a large scale. No big visible developments are being made (or we omiited transmissions with them - I'm just a man and so are our other members, we could left something unnoticed).
"Uncertain, the future of Kusari, is. Dark Side of Development clouds everything."
Where does Hogosha fit into that? Well, Hogosha as space Yakuza would be ideal faction to make secret deals with, we will help you, you will help us... I could imagine hiring Hogosha (if we aren't dirty gaijins for them ofc ) for intel gathering, harassing our competition, inRP money laundering for Daumann's black projects which cannot be exactly financed with legal traceable funds...
@ Captain_Nemo
Official lawful Rheinland factions are Rheinland's government. Let me repeat, everything from that post was first discussed, voted on and approved by people in the gov chat. Sometimes DHC people have free while and can answer "on behalf of the government", sometimes ALG are answering because Karst has a moment, sometimes it's someone from RM or RFP... That's how it works, I don't think there's any metagaming in that.
