I have been pleasantly surprised with how simply and directly you answered all the accusations and questioning. Amidst all this drama over... whatever it is. I have also been lead to superb roleplay on behalf of this faction. Your roleplay is solid, my few encounters with you in game have been enjoyable, and your feedback is solid. Kudos. It's hard to be impressed with anything in Discovery anymore.
It goes without saying that pretty much everyone has a big stick complex in regards to pixel power, but I see you referencing vanilla lore and in game assets (Which NPC assets are canon) instead of referencing some page that is not considered actual canon. You also admit when you don't know something, and take criticism well as seen above. For that you have my respect.
Quality faction, Keep it up.
+1 on this.
The only question I have would be: Why do you make an Outcast faction if you dislike the Lore of the faction itself? That kind of makes it seem like you just want to be a special snowflake amongst the Outcasts, which should not be what one is going for when creating a faction under the banner of a certain NPC Group
I never said I dislike Outcast as a faction per se. I would not have created an outcast char should that have been truth (would probably be a Corsair). I mentioned that I disliked people clinging to vanilla representation of OC in disco as not looking in strategic perspective drug dealers on the level of some Colombian warlord, not mafia, that are barely capable of self-organisation despite 800 years of history. That point of view has the logic in vanilla give nthe comparison with other factions. In Disco, I liked the idea of more organised OC on par with other factions: a group of BHG reorganised into a state of the Core, RHA have a quasi-state with the army, fleet, intelligence, and the only thing that separates them from being a state is recognition, Coalition that is small but well organised, NO, etc, and even the Corsair Empire that is a feared foe for Bretonia and Rheinland with solid advances in Omegas. In this regard I considered an updated vision of the OC to be fit in the lore. I like OC, I dislike playing them as in vanilla on disco where such self-limitation is absurd.
Some people also address the fact that we now RP the government as the corporation. Mind, this RP was not conceived when the faction was created as NC and the Legion were around. Now that NC is gone and Legion sticking to PvP and military RP mostly, we agreed with former Legion's 1IC to take over the politics so Malta is represented. We agreed on nationalistic and not corporatocratic direction and started doing what we are doing. This is also an interesting RP as it shows the political development. Maltese fit well, actually, for a powerful Cartel/Corporation through means of connections, bribes, and lobbyism integrating with the administration for Malta is strongly capitalistic and values wealth. Mind, that the current form of government was specifically conceived in mind with many possible factions and decentralisation: Senate is meant to include representatives of OF while the Council of Tribunes - Unofficial so that their status is inRP explained and their impact on the course of the faction is provided in inRP laws.
Tl;DR: I never said I disliked OC, I said in choosing between disco lore and vanilla lore I prefer disco lore allowing OC to be more organised.
