not realy. we tried to bring some help up, despite the evacuation of the migrants. but when it comes to 49 osi and velvet stay silent. what shall the popes do? declare war to bretonia, while osi and velvelt will not jump in?
To Clarify as Velvet Lead/Member pretty much since the start, Velvet was partly made in response to the Gran Canaria situation and later the Aland situation (That had a effect around Freeport 1) to say that Velvet was silent during Gran Canaria is a bit unfair, as it did not exist as a faction. Now at the time, my character was part of Aazalot's brief Zoner Militant push against Bretonia (See: #1) and that same character is currently InRP leader of Velvet.
Currently, we are not friendly or collaborators with Bretonia, we are neutral but it is also true that neutrality can be seen as complicity. At the moment, Velvet's only concern in O-49/Exeter is Lanzarote and I do log now and then to check on it if there's a large amount of people.
As for my personal feelings on this faction? It's alright, I knew something like this would come up eventually but I do think it's a little well, late in the game. The annexation of Gran Canaria happened a year ago, the evacuation of Zoners happened pretty soon after that IIRC. Most Zoners InRP are on Pygar or in other areas, I'm not saying that your faction shouldn't exist just that, the fight for me feels hollow or a loosing battle now.
Still, I wish this faction good luck in this official faction request as I, sorta agree with it.
You say all of this but how many Bretonians did you kill at the end of the day? Zoner factions trade with them anyway, how is that not a collaboration?
