You caught me as I was undocking, and we sat and RP'd. My character isn't going to randomly attack people they don't know, especially if their IFF shows they are also GC, even if it's a different cell. And since we were sitting there having a chat, just up and leaving seemed rude...
I am even more confused by your view that ALL GC must be raging nuts who attack everything like a rabid dog. Every network of terrorists has a support group who builds/appropriates their gear, supplies their bases, and builds their fighters. While my character has never avoided battle (Despite my piss poor PVP skills) she doesn't just run around killing innocents, or attacking everything that moves. The fact that other people have chosen to play something other than kamikaze pilots seems to grate on you.
In your head you seem to have a view that all GC must be suicide bombers. But the group in vanilla still had all the support base of NON nut jobs that build stations, and ships and such.
Just because people are part of a movement marked as "terrorist" doesn't mean they've forgotten how to think, or how to operate as a unit, or how to create. After all, in order to install a Matriarch, there has to be planning, and things arranged to make it work.
Also.... You spent so much time trying to convince a mechanic to assassinate people she literally owes her life to. To convince her to turn on the sisters she swore to protect.... And because she refused to she isn't "extreme" enough?
Your logic has some pretty serious flaws. Maybe you really should go start your own Cell, because it is obvious that no one is every going to make something "extreme" enough for what you clearly want.
There we go. "player = character".
Chihaya the character was mentally unsound, and that made her a horrible judge of character. OF COURSE your character would never backstab Meg's character, I knew this oorply because Meg would slap something like that down in seconds. Yet my character, with her stated goal of "punish Gen'an for a perceived betrayal", will not care, and your character's ears were open, or seemed to be open. And that's the point. Not all RP on Disco has to lead somewhere mechanically. My character was trying to lay a web of intrigue, hoping to have Mariko suffer an ironic punishment, but all involved knew it would go nowhere.
Honestly, that whole episode of even trying to join GC- was an oddity for me, because Meg asked me to join in the first place. I almost never RP on Disco for the RP of it, I RP whilst doing literally anything else, be it trading or shooting things. For GC-, I RP'd for the sake of the RP itself, to see where it went, and all it got me was... this. Lesson learned, I guess.

I read these infocards and lore bits when I made my character. Did you? (It's entirely fair to say you didn't, or at least you did then disregarded that anyway, but the point I am trying to make is that the character is surrounded on all sides by fanatics. She lives alongside an actual high priest of the cult. If you develop the character, do keep in mind her day to day surroundings, all right? )
