Harvester

[worldstrider]

This is beginning to sound like the most 'neutral' of the 'pirates' against the most neutral of Sirius ? Both factions
actually go out of their respective ways to keep their collective heads below the radar ...
Why would either The Junkers, or The Zoners, go out of their way to spoil the status quo ?

Hoodlum

FYI--as an involved Junker running a currently unofficial faction that gets along with Harvesters, I have instructed our members to collaborate with the Harvesters but not to intervene with them agains the Zoners--which seems smart and Junkerish to me.

Scornstar and I have worked out the RP ethos of Junkers-Harvesters and it is quite in character for the Junkers.

They have no wish for conflict or direct involvement but find advantage in collaboration--and avoid conflict through it as well with the Harvesters.

And why is it a given that the "alpha code" must be found. What if their is none?

It is like the quest for perfection by the Borg or Nomad in ST--it is never ending--or can be.

Like searching for "God".

It sets a great tension for the Zoners.

I don't see Harvesters dominating the 'verse (haha--have you seen them fight?)

As to alignment with the core concept of FL--I think the monkeys and 'bots were put there as the "next storyline" the developers intended to work on. Why not now?
