the QCP ID was created in a fashion that suggested a responsible roleplay concerning the work "in FAVOUR of the political aims of the bretonian goverment in the somewhat grey areas of warfare - and on the rather unlawful side in specific locations"
so - the very basis of such an idea is that a faction can work FOR the bretonian goverment - you might call them "patriotic extremists".
now the problem about that is.... - they are patriots. they are not pirates cause they like to be pirates, they are pirates, cause they think that that only "forceful and extreme measures will REALLY assist their "sponsor" - as opposed to the mild measures within the official law".
privateers are tools in a war. - efficient tools.
so - how much has the situation changed from that?
- we are speaking OOC here, not in RP, mind. :
* are the QCP still beneficial for the bretonian goverment? ( ooc - not the in RP ways that they are exiled but cheered on in secret )
* are they focussing on what harms bretonia the most in a way that the normal military / police cannot do?
for that we would need to indeed clear up....
- are the qcp exiled and detached from the bretonian goverment for real? or just officially, while unofficially still working for them. ( don t answer that in RP - answer that ooc as it is important for the evaluating of this faction )
- if politically speaking - the qcp HARMS the politics of bretonia - how will the qcp change? - will they change? - is their greatest ambition to be bretonian patriots? - or will they turn into a renegade faction like the gaians? ( you know - gaians are unlawful cause they fight for what THEY think bretonia should do. - they turned from the crown. - if the QCP was not in agreement with the crown anymore - would they become like gaians? )
- consequences. - what consequences are applied? - right now - bretonia is under pressure by the kusari forces - but continous piracy from the corsairs - and possibly by others in the future. - the bretonian goverment has started to initiate "emergency plans for refugees" as a start - and there might be more coming depending on how things "develope".
here is a situation:
- zoners get to an agreement to supply bretonia with iridium which is direly needed at scarbourough. - the bretonian goverment GRANTS them protection in bretonia to reach their destination.
- will the QCP intercept those? [darthbeck: "so if a zoner, or anyone claims to be delivering goods. then we will ether: A, pirate him normaly. B, escort him. C, call him a lier and blow him up. or D, whatever we want to.] <-- the very last one does not look good when you wish to achieve a respected faction standing - a little more thought needs to be payed to such delicate items. if every faction ( and becoming official sets an example for others ) thought like THAT ... we d have a very very nasty server. cause everyone would go around, i do whatever i want - look at this faction, they do it, too...
- what if the zoners decide to cease this trade ( which would indeed harm the shipmaking facilities of bretonia ) cause the QCP disrupts it.
- what if zoners indeed cancelled the port jackson treaty ( which is - in RP needed for bretonia - even more in the future to come )
is the QCP still "beneficial" even unofficially for the crown? - what if they "really" fall from grace. - what are the consequences.
so the main question is really "will the QCP still roleplay as being BENEFICIAL to the crown? or will they re reckless and even put the crown into political troubles for their personal goals?" - if its the first one - ties to the bretonian goverment can be maintained. - if its the later one.... i cannot see a justified reason to keep ties to the bretonian goverment.
other factions were outlawed over less political problems and declared "officially hostile" both - in RP and as an ooc rule.
