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.
Judging by the rest of this discussion, the actual issue here is not the core of any particular character's roleplay. The issue is that you were rude:

Every time someone posted an app, he was pming me about how bad that person was or how bad their app was. so when I silenced him completely, he came here to whine.
People in my faction were amazed with how much I let slide from Exodite in the past, but I am done with it. I posted several times in this thread to let it go and do something else. Stop obsessing over this faction and anything that is being posted on forums. Its getting really creepy.
The consistency and lore-appropriateness of one's character is not the only factor that gets one into factions. Factions recruit outside of roleplay, as a player construct, as well as in roleplay, as a character construct.
It's easier to take a weak roleplayer who can get along with others than to take a strong roleplayer who doesn't seek inter-player cooperation. It's easy to get people up to speed on lore and faction diplomacy, but it's a lot harder to teach someone manners.
The world is not a meritocracy, and it shouldn't be. Skill, be it in work, sports, or games, is not the only qualifier (nor even the most important qualifier) for membership in a team. Everyone who plays a game even remotely like Freelancer would do well to remember this.
A way a lone a last a loved a long the riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay,
brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.
