Last 4 hostile encounters I personally had with RHA, whether they knew it was me behind the ship or not, UN or not, and sometimes I go to extreme lengths to conceal who I am behind the ship, I generally got attacked from multiple people simultaneously.
Killing fast seemed to matter more than the fight itself.
It's interesting Markam brings up the attitudes expressed in RHA towards myself. It's only a couple of members. There are RHA members who are Unioners, for example. I'm personal friends with about half of RHA's major roleplayers. However, I've seen a certain RHA member try to push somebody else out of their own faction HQ, because they'd figured out that they were also my 2ic. -That- is a massive problem. Getting shot at by a bunch of people who dislike how I set up roleplay, fine, whatever. Can't please them all as much as we try to.
That person has already replied in this thread, backing up your point, Wesker.
People try to sabotage actively? Because they feel a need to defend RHA, even if Wesker doesn't agree with it? That's not very... hrm.
I'm treading carefully here. I believe it is a few individual people in RHA which give the rest of the group a bad rap. I think that RHA, generally, needs to realise that other people arn't out to get you. We're not here to knock you down. We're just roleplaying our own individual corners. You don't need to go to extremes to secure victories, be they solid ingame encounters, or an oorp situation.
I'm treading carefully here so this doesn't turn into a flamefight between X or Y party who might see this post and think that's an invitation for a six reply character takedown.
Bitterness works both ways. If people feel RHA is more invested in appearing 'powerful', whatever that may be, than mutual interactions (irrespective as to if RHA is, or isn't), they will be reticent about giving RHA interactions.
There isn't any easy answer for this one. Not every faction can bring proportional numbers. Equally, winning all the time engenders an impression of invincibility divisible from what the RP environment actually promotes.
Wesker, change your signature. It looks bad, given the subject of discussion.
