It`s amazing how many independent Junkers are out there who desperatly want to form a group. The [Junker] movement was indeed an independent one and it developed like a snowslide.
Now you are stepping foreward, planning to found a new Junker faction, taking responsibility, hmmm, well, I think this is a good idea, people seem to want that, but Darkard, Weedalot, Linkus and all the others are right. It`s a faction now, it has a leader, a shiplist and an affiliation and it will need a lot of diplomacy to make it work.
Calling it independent causes quite a lot of questionning as you can see. An independent faction sounds peculiar, you will probably agree. You could call it Junker Associates, Junker Movement, Junker Union or whatever comes to your mind. You don`t have to change the tag, but you may loose some of your faction members, who are wearing the vanilla [Junker] tag without meaning to be part of a faction. If you want to stick with your democratic independent philosophy, you may want to ask your members to vote for a name and tag for your faction.
I think you may have a problem with your affiliation:
- Beeing friendly to all pirate factions could be a problem, I`m not sure if they would agree.
- Beeing friendly to all those pirates while dealing with corporates like BMM, GMG, IMG or ALG might be difficult to explain.
- I think AFA will turn out to be hostile.
