4.91 Theming and Storyline

[Wolfs Ghost]

Oh man. The possibilities of seeing the results of this war finally coming to a close sounds intriguing.

Holy hell, there's a name I didn't expect to see. It's almost like we're getting the band back together. At this rate, I'll be tempted to try another Buccaneer revival.

As to the end of the war, I'm looking forward to it. I'm particularly interested in the RP of a post-war Bretonia. Even without a big enemy like Kusari or Gallia, there will be plenty of activity to be had. The movement against the Zoners in O49 has the potential for future conflict. Against the Zoners, if they choose to get militant and fight back. The Corsairs won't be happy about it, nor will the Coalition (unless the current attempt at diplomacy works out and they choose not to fight over GC). Conflicts against the Mollys and Gaians will likely flare up again, too, once the outside enemy is gone.

Even more interesting to me is what happens with post-war Gallia. Whether the Council wins and ends the war, or the Royalists end the war themselves to focus on keeping the Council at bay, their relationship with the houses of Sirius could be interesting. With EFL starting to export their gate/lane tech, Ageira's monopoly in that area is effectively over. Also, how much of their gains in the Taus will they be allowed to keep, and how will the factions in that area (CR, NO, IMG, Malta, etc) settle their own conflicts with Gallia?

I'd probably be down for a Buccaneer revival as it was super fun to do, and I reference our pirate RP almost all the time when discussing what I feel would be proper pirating in video games. Though mind you, I haven't played Freelancer in years, and the last time I appeared I did the little set up thing that they have for returning vets and... promptly dropped it.

I'm interested in a post-war Bretonia as well. The thought was always interesting on how my Bretonian characters would adjust to. I'm sure a couple of them would still hold a vendetta against the Gauls and try to continue the fighting. Especially if post-war Bretonia is occupied by the Gauls with a puppet leader in charge.

In regards to the Zoners in Omega-49. I hope no one forgot about the Bretonian Colony that exists on the planet. Port Jackson, I think it was called, and if I remember correct it was established there with the permission of Doc Holliday's group of Zoners. So Bretonia's renewed interested in O49 is probably to ensure that it's colony is properly secured from further threats that reside in that particular space. Of course... it would be a waste of resources to send BAF patrols to the system with the Gauls sitting smack dab in New London. I'm just theory crafting in regards to all of this because I'm very much out of touch with in-game events at the moment. I just found out that Southampton (may she rest in peace) was destroyed, by reading this thread.

YOU

WHERE THE HELL DID YOU COME FROM

Long story short, I couldn't use the search function to see if I had ever created a cannibal character to play... and then I saw this thread and read through it.

BRING BACK JOSEPH DE FRANCE! (please?)


I had a crush in high school on Austin.

I'd like to bring back Joseph DeFrance, he's a fun character and the dynamic I was going for with his rival (because I'm a lonely person who roleplays by himself) is something I'd like to see through to the end. Alas, I don't want to step on the toes of any official Gallic factions by bringing the Prince back. The only way I'd bring him back is with their permissions, and I remember how finicky people are with non-faction players trying to RP call the shots. Plus... I'm 95% sure that DeFrance is locked away in a Bretonian prison cell somewhere. Because... reasons.

It still surprises me that people love Austin as a character.
