Big Change to QCRF : To become BAF

[Dieter Schprokets]

I have been asked to take over Server BAF Faction, since Unselie is inactive, and MarvinCZ does not want the role (He's been doing it since Unselie got less active over last few weeks), and no-one else is active enough. I have accepted.

This thread is a starting point for discussion. Nothing is written in stone. Obviously a lot of details to work out.

Also if you want to join this "new" faction, post here.

Basic points of faction change:

1) General Principle to RP the faction changes.

Parliament reasserts its authority over the Armed Forces. The Ministry of Defense (MOD) now runs the BAF.

My Character is a new Grand Admiral, tasked with overseeing the integration of the BAF. He is loyal to Parliament, and the MOD, but he is no Republican. He still respects and honours the Monarchy.

Or maybe I also start an actual in-game Minister of Defense? Dunno. He likely wouldn't spend much time on a ship.. Royal Liner maybe?

This way of doing things may allow us to absorb the FED guys too (the parliamentarians, Trevelyan's boys.) I'd like Trevelyan's and Kuraine's comments on this idea.

If that is the way we go, I'd like Trevelyan to use his Bretonian Politics thread to explain the politics behind the above. Its a good thread, and it leads this way anyway.

Faction is renamed the Bretonian Armed Forces.

2) Names:

All BAF Tagged/ID'd

old QCR = [BAF]Name

old QCO (Sort of, see below) = [BAF]Name-{Guard} (Note : Not Guard Tagged. Just BAF)

old QCP = [BAF]Name-{Pvtr}

Above is suggested. I'd insist on BAF, but the subtitles? dunno. Open to ideas.

One problem is that Bretonian Indies use [BAF]. We either get them to change, join us, or we use something else, like BAF~, or another alternative.

Actually, I think the Guard (Like the British Guard Regiments, personal regiments of the Crown) should be very good PVP'rs. Elite. Anyone who is really good in a Templar should actually be required to start up a Guard Character.

Another alternative is that the Guards do not exist. Unselie doesn't want to run even that, so the Pendragon could just get a name change, become plain old BAF, our flagship.

Common Account Characters (Armoury etc) will need a rename to [BAF] (Easy to do now)

3) ZOI, relationships, ranks all remain the same. QCRF rank is transferrable.

4) Key Players :

Bluntpencil, the Privateer's are yours again, if you want them.

Unselie does not want the Guards, so MarvinCZ can have em if he wants em, unless a senior player in QCO insists.

Need to hear from Stratus, Stoat, Cawdor, Photuin, Athenian, Lancerzero, Monk, any other senior guys as to interest in the faction.

So discuss, ladies and gents. Need input.
