I don't recall either 101st or CL} trying to (or being able to) FR5 each other back when two OC factions disagreed strongly in the past.
Seriously, I'm genuinely curious about this. I know the Crimson Cross had some BS about being the sole governing authority of Malta written in its backstory, for which I recall it being railed on extensively. Did NC continue this trend wholesale and decide they were the sole representatives of the Outcast NPC faction, despite the years of RP contravening that sort of Maltese government from ever having or ever being likely to exist?
Either I'm mistaken here (considering I don't play Outcasts or know too much about them) or something's wrong with the whole debacle from an iRP perspective before you even get into the hows and whys.
There never was an unified government within maltese society. It's always been the people with the most influence or guns forming various circles to agree or disagree upon the next steps taken. The whole CL/101st conflict was a prime example of how a disagreement with the power distribution is settled in maltese society.
The Cross tried to change that and it looks like the NC just has.
