Yes, good then, we get crawling on the way out of the first bar.. not bad, not bad.
Makes more sense.. just if the police stop us and politely ask to go home, please
don't look at the far away stars, towards the location of old Terra and say "I'm
tryin' baby, I'm tryin'.."
Still remember the last time I did that.. they didn't think it's so funny as I thought...

Hmm, I don't see what's not clear in the faction rules.. but I'll try answering your questions..

Q. I assume a new RP faction must be "registered". Is post to Faction Thread all that is required. (or was there something about a huge entry fee...?)
A. If you want to own a system, yes, needs registering and the huge fee, also, must grt approval from Igiss. On the other hand, we didn't bother with the registration, we are transparent and shady as is the business we are doing.. Also getting a good team of lawyers is advisable in these cases.


Q. Do I have to have a "roster" before posting a new faction? If so, how many warm bodies do I need?
A. Yes. You need 3 different people. Hood and me were not enough for a faction in the beginning, we put the tags on our traders.. then it grew far beyond what we ever expected :) and we like it this way :hehe:


Q. Are the rules for ID tags the same for an RP faction? (True Discordian form would allow all-comers, w/ as many different IDs as possible, just to keep the Mehums ("mere humans") guessin'....)
A. This is a dodgy one. But IMO possible to have different IDs if you don't align with an NPC faction. It's not specified in case of not aligning with NPC factions. It does say that every player must have an ID. On the other hand.. there's the Neutral ID.. so.. better ask Igiss about this.


Q. It would be difficult for this new Granfaloon to identify allies/neutrals/hostiles with any degree of certainty from the get-go.. How do I get 'round this...?
A. Neutral IDs again?


Q. Thinkin' of limitin' Cabal ship names to famous Discordian Saints/Madmen. ie: Emporer Norton, Lief Erickson, Adam Weishaupt, Malaclypse the Younger, Mordecai the Foul, etc. (still considerin'... too much to expect of applicants?)
A. You are free to name them as you want.. as long it's not.. 'unacceptable' by common standards.

The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons.
