About the bit on factions though, if you check around (admittedly some is in the Liberty Faction forums that you *probably* can't access), normal, everyday members of the [SA] and even newer =LSF= can't enter Alaska without express permission. LPI can't even ask to go in (I think), we have to be ordered by either an admiral or the director of the LSF (who happens to be the leader of the =LSF=). Therein lies the problem- forces outside Alaska are tasked to prevent anyone from breaching the perimeter, yet are unable to enter themselves.
ANYONE who isn't of a sufficient rank in the Liberty Navy or Liberty Security Forces can't enter without permission- it doesn't matter if you bear a faction tag or not, if you don't have the rank and don't ask, you die. All independents or faction members need to do is ask, and I've never seen a case where an admiral or the LSF director has refused anyone's legitimate business. That business usually covers snagging an LSF ID, and it makes sense for all new recruits to pass through either a high ranking recommendation (Navy Admiral) or the eyes of the Director of the LSF, right? I mean, he's answerable to the President and THAT'S IT. If he doesn't approve, you go nowhere. Unless someone else starts RPing as the Director of the LSF or the President, he has the right to override any and all decisions regarding Alaska.
Was that clear? It really doesn't matter if you're in a faction, but there is this tendency for factions to refuse those who lack RP- that's really the only distinction, the ratio of RP-less hacks to genuine people. Both independents and factions have both, I've known some from each category- it goes case by case, not blanket faction = good, non-faction = bad.
Will someone who has "awesome" RP and starts RP-ing as the president of liberty be allowed by the SA/LSF/etc to allow others to enter Alaska/Z21?
And will the person RP-ing as president control the SA/LSF/etc?
Or will the LSF/SA just do some sort of RP thing, like declare the person as a nomad impersonating the president, etc in order to maintain power?
