Drake, I think it's a fairly legit point. BAF is in a pretty unique situation - I mean an admin closed the recruitment thread it's so damn big. And a lot of our rivals/friendly neighbourhood factions are pretty much on life support ([MR] anyone? anyone? bueller?).
As is said a bunch of times, disco is a community. BAF is a large proportion of that community, so it should probably have some sort of responsibilty towards its health as a whole.
Although I don't feel I've got room for another char, out of the 5 I have, one is BAF, two are traders who spend an awful lot of time in or very near Bretonia (OS&C has the Shetland and then Curacao right outside, Junkers have Trafalgar and all the other unlawful bases to visit, plus most of the trade routes I take tend to go through Bretonia at some point), one is the aforementioned RHA, who can go out as far as Omega 3, and my BAF has been there before, so they can just about interact. And yeah then I have my little farmer in stuttgart who's probably never even heard of bretonia. can't win them all.
