Quote:1.6 Character names must be inRoleplay and the use of excessive symbols, profanity, country tags, memes, pop-culture references as player characters is not allowed. For guidelines, look here
This same rule should really apply for factions as well, though the fact that that has to be specified is sad in and of itself.
Now: having read the infocard for Tarrafal recently: a unified zoner front to retake a former freeport of theirs is by no means out of the question as a RP concept possibility. Nobody is arguing that I don't think- nobody seriously anyway. However, the fact that that exact RP opportunity is being used to simply try to revive a dead discovery meme for cheap laughs is the problem here. By all means, if you want to base a faction around the re-taking or even the lockdown of Freeport 2 as a pirate group: please, do so. Make that part of Sirius just that much more interesting. However, please don't make a meme faction out of it.
Put some actual effort into it, make characters, give them backstories that would make them want to fight back and retake the station. Make it interesting rather than an immersion-killing memefest.
You can do a lot based on very little. Nobody is asking you to not make a faction based on the Tarrafal or Zoners as a whole. All we're asking is that it's not based on a dumb meme from 4+ years ago.
