The Gaian Guard

[Marburg]

Might be better if you add them on hostile and add a (NAP) next to it then. (NAP = Non-Aggression Pact)

Also, one of your former members had asked for ideas on how to advance the faction lore and make it more realistic and attractive. Here was my suggestion:

I have already contacted Jazzi D about my suggestion and he already made the proposition in the Gaian's Guard player request. I am simply posting it here in order to be discussed by the rest of the community.

The idea is that while GRN is being heavily occupied in the Leeds front with the combined Bretonian/Libertonian offensive, the jump hole connecting Lewis to Okrney is vanished and the Gaians are the first to discover it. Their leaders hold a secret meeting and discuss the possibilities which have arisen from that development. And they decide to attack their former allies simultaneously in both Edinburgh and Lewis. Their attack will be a total success since they caught the Gallics in surprise while no reinforcements could be brought from Leeds (because of the Lib/Bret assault) and from Gallia (because of the jump hole collapse).

That is a plausible way to restore the Gaian faction and fix the weird diplomatic approaches they had in several issues resulting in making the faction undesirable and bad for roleplaying them. Some other major advantages are the following:
- It provides a good RP reason why the Bretonians/Liberty achieved victory in Leeds because no Royal reinforcements ever came from Edinburgh.
- It provides a good reason to isolate Lewis and eventually remove it from the mod as part of the Great Guard System Cull which is important in order to decrease the number of useless systems and thus achieve more interactions because of the current player pool of Discovery.

What do you think of it? Finally, much love to Sauron and looking forward for the event with Bowex!

Just a couple things I want to point out real quick: I don't remember the Mollies I negotiated with, but I was the guy that agreed to the 1st Gaian/Molly NAP...& to this day, it remains one of my biggest regrets during my time leading the NLH (& trust me, I 'effed up ALOT during my leadership run) I've learned from experience that NAPs 'tween Gaians & Mollies are a really bad idea & I submit that for anyone that may try to argue that times have changed, I state that history is circular & it's insane to repeat history expecting different results...but technically, no one has to take my word for it. Everyone has to learn & burn in their own way.

If I were a student on Cambridge protesting the idea, I'd be the one holding the sign saying: "NAPs ARE FOR FAPS"

& as far as attacking the Gauls...I love the idea & would be the 1st to drink their blood out of their own skulls & piss it back out onto their graves drawing out drunken dirt angels where they rot, but given the size of the Gaian Movement as opposed to the Gallic Navy, I don't see a scenario where even if we do succeed in a surprise attack, they don't eventually come back in force to crush us all like a bug within the time span of a single growing season.

I theorize what we need are cells of Maquis-alligned Gallic Gaians that can infiltrate the Navy over time & throw some
sabo in their tage.
