So in the faction you do not have to play an AI or anything matrix associated at all. You can be a 'just regular person'. The Merovingian is just an archtype businessman that deals on both sides of the law. I just happened to like the whole front scenario together with his persona. It would be similar to a mafia operation if we endorsed pirating and slaving but we don't. the mission statement type opening perhaps is short, but certainly to the point. If you read the last proposal it was very clear that we wanted escorts with the larger trade ships to promote realistic RP, but when trying to make it 4.85 compliant we lost the large ships so the rp element of needing an escort becasue you cant run (no CM's in big transports) was lost. So that was taken out of the description.
