Junker Congress

Allied
Harvesters (limited--see faq)
Zone of Influence

How much does .:j:. support them and what does allied mean to .:j:. characters? "Allied" usually means if a ship is attacking a Harvester, then the allies of the Harvestors also attack the attacker. How does this jeopardize (or not) the neutral standing that Junkers strive to maintain with as many parties as possible?

Transports
The list is open. Junker Congress characters can purchase and operate freighters within any area with the exception of Kusari unless obtained through approved faction role play with applicable groups.

You mean 'transports'?

Disallowed ships would be the Royal/Luxury Liner (without approved role play with applicable factions such as the slaver Servus Lictor's floating elite slave trade "palace"), The Container Transport (Kusari sold), Samura Transport (Kusari sold), Bumblebee (Kusari sold), Drone (Kusari sold), Kusari Cruise Liner (Kusari sold)

All of these are disallowed because they are Kusari ships?

The other ship parts look fine that I can see.

Note: Rank determines a members ship use and rank is awarded by faction leadership. There will be no self promotion and consequently no self-determination of member ship class use. Accepting membership means accepting this and all other restrictions of the Junker Congress.

Just to clarify, Who are the leadership of .:j:.? Is it a number of people or you only? The .:j:. follow ranks? That sounds a little weird for Junkers even though I understand the thinking and necessity behind it. Those people usually have shown they deserve those posts but it still sounds weird to me. Probably because I operate at a simplistic ground level Junker rather that one involved in politics and leadership of things.

Yes? um...links? hehe

...In return, Harvesters receive basing rights and guarantees of non-Hostility by Congress members. Speaker Tinkerbell has the distinction of "knowing" the first Harvester and having dialogued with it since its arrival in Liberty. As a result, a level of "logical" trust has developed between Harvesters and the Congress. So long as that logic and predictability holds, the arrangement remains mutually beneficial. This is little different than the relationship maintained by Junkers with the Outcasts and Corsairs. Essentially, "Do what thou wilt and cause no harm" to Junkers.

What if the Harvesters attack us? Where do we take that? OR indy Junkers attack Harvesters?

Something that also occurred to me, How do we deal with internal squabbles? Do we have a private forum where things can be nutted out, or do we put those discussions on the disco forums so everyone can see the development of the .:j:. MkII roleplay? The thing is, most Junkers I know are independents at heart (including me), and many have the attitudes of those hebrews that were fighting ... "who put you in charge over us?" Not always but it's there in the background, and most of us are or have strong personalities.

Something to consider, I think it is very difficult to separate "Junker" actions from .:j:. People look at this as "THE" junker faction and treat all junkers based on .:j:. roleplay and all .:j:. based on indepenedent Junkers - because we are one big 'family'. I think this might be a difficult issue to sort out because we ARE one big family and the actions of a few reflect on the majority and visa-versa. For the Junkers - it really doesnt matter if they are part of the "player" faction, or if they are independent Junkers, we are all Junkers.
