^Y^ - Kongsi Syndicate - Info Page

[Kongsi Syndicate]

Most of our members are not anarchists IRL, but we do run the faction out-of-roleplay the same way we run it in-roleplay; via voting, with each and every member having free veto.

However, for rules compliance purposes, our 1IC is @"Darkstar_Spectre". Our 1IC will likely change frequently and without notice. As we have no plans to go official, we don't anticipate this being an issue whatsoever.

As the rules require that we list at least one 2IC, but place no limits on how many "2IC"s we can have, every other member is the second-in-command.

FAQ:

▪ "Where does the name ‘Kongsi Syndicate’ come from?"

The names of the IMG's assets in the Taus all have Indo-Malayan theming. On the island of Brunei, there were historically small political entities called ‘kongsi republics’, mostly populated by southern Chinese (Hakka/Hokkien/etc) merchants and laborers who had moved there in search of economic freedom. These polities represent the first unambiguous emergence of an indigenous Asian democratic tradition. As such, we thought the name was fitting.

▪ "What's with the logo?"

It's a stylized representation of a banyan tree. In Indonesia, banyan trees are an ancient symbol of unity and strength emerging from diversity. Thus we thought it fit well with our aesthetic theming. Also it looks f*ckin' sick as hell.

▪ "What's with the tag?"

It's a stylized representation of a banyan tree.

▪ "What's your naming scheme?"

Ingame IMG assets are named after German placenames (‘Freistadt Base’), English towns (‘South Shields Refinery’), places in Orkney (‘Dounby Station’), places in Southeast Asia (‘Singapore Shipyard’), mountains (‘Shishapangma’, ‘Nanga Parbat’), and things that sound badass (the ‘Vampire’ and ‘Matterthief’ guns). All of these are perfectly fine conventions for Kongsi assets as well, but we also name things with leftist/anarcho-syndicalist theming (‘Bella Ciao’, ‘Haywood’, ‘Black Flag’, etc). We have a lot of names to choose from -- which is rather fitting given that our roleplay is all about freedom!
