[A51] Asylum 51

[Reverend Del]

You ask who the arbiter's of RP are in this community, I shall tell you. I shall tell you who defines what the current relationships are, who should be flying what. The Community. The Admins tell you what the server rules say, the rest of us try to explain how things function within the framework already established here, to come in and trample that framework is disrespectful to those people who have helped set it up, helped it to flourish and become one of the most engaging online games to play.

I set up my own faction, it was a departure from the normal RP of the NPC faction it was supposed to be a part of, it is still all those things. But I started by checking out the forums to see what weas going on, I built up my RP, not by changing past events, but by influencing future ones. I built this in to my in game RP, I worked hard and ended up organising an event to jumpstart my faction. (Big developments on that front this weekend for anyone interested... I has plans). The point is that I built my faction within the framework that was already there, I paid my respects to those who came before by using what they had created to do my thing, I involved them, I talked to them and made sure my idea would fly, it did.

What these people are trying to tell you is that they feel that your RP simply does not fit, the God-Chancellor would never allow Rheinland BS's to be flown by anyone but the Rheinland Military, diplomatic exchanges would take place and the BHG, I'm sure, would ask you to replace those ships with BHG ones, to avoid any potential loss of revenue. Then there is the subject of every member of A51 flying gunboats or higher, whilst you can assure me this is not so, the testimonials of the people that have posted suggest otherwise. The BHG uses battleships and such in it's war against the Order, not in house systems, or anywhere else for that matter. It seems to me that the guild is a fragmented bunch, willing to stand up for each other but less than willing to share the profits. A battleship should require some 1000+ crew to maintain and operate such a vessel. Where have you requisitioned them from? How are you dealing with paying them? Or are these considerations you do not feel are appropriate?

Then there is the consideration of saturation, we have two official BHG factions (Shadow Stalkers Organisation, Darkwing) and a third in the works (Bounty Hunter Legion), with the significant number of indy BHG it makes the BHG probably the most over subscribed faction in Discovery, with the possible exception of the Corsairs, but then the Corsairs face the single most populous player faction on Discovery, the Reapers of Sirius. All these things should be taken into consideration when deciding where in discovery your faction should fit. There are a number of significantly under represented NPC factions within this modification, most noticeably the trading factions, perhaps turning your eye to one of these might allow you better opportunity to fit in with the community, at the end of the day it is the community that matters. Of course you can choose to stand aside but that is entirely up to you.
